Abstract

The development of contemporary architecture presents challenges to environmental sustainability and human psychological needs for connection with nature. The concept of biophilic design emerged as a response to these conditions, by integrating natural elements into the built environment to improve the well-being and comfort of users. This study aims to review and reformulate the concept of biophilic design in contemporary architecture through theoretical studies, emphasizing the importance of integrating the basic principles of biophilia that are in-depth, cross-disciplinary, and relevant to the modern urban context. The method used is a literature study through analysis of literature from various relevant sources, including journals, books, and architectural case studies. The results of the study show that the application of biophilic design principles, such as the use of natural light, vegetation, cross-ventilation, and natural forms, can improve the quality of space and have a positive impact on the psychology and productivity of occupants. By integrating biophilia principles ​​into modern building design, biophilic design not only contributes to aesthetics, but also to the sustainability and health of the built environment.

Abstract

This study investigates the main issues faced by the Segamas Traditional Market in Purbalingga. This research focuses on visitor circulation and the layout of trading zones that do not meet the standards of a traditional market. Data were obtained through field observations, interviews, and documentation using a qualitative descriptive approach based on case studies. The research results show that narrow circulation paths, unorganized vendor zoning, and a lack of supporting facilities hinder economic activities and visitor comfort. The spatial design approach offered by the researchers includes dividing the market into three main categories: dry zone, semi-dry zone, and wet zone, based on the nature of the commodities. Additionally, technical recommendations are formulated by considering SNI standards and national regulations regarding traditional markets. The redesign of the market block is carried out to improve space efficiency, make the buildings more viable, and enhance the market's function as a sustainable local economic center. This research contributes to the discussion on the revitalization of traditional markets, relying on adaptive public policies and participatory spatial planning principles.

Abstract

This research examines the colonial architectural elements and historical values of the Landraad te Purbalingga building as one of the surviving colonial heritages in Indonesia. The purpose of this research is to identify the colonial architectural characteristics applied in this building and to examine the related historical values, both in functional aspects and social symbiolism. The method applied is a descriptive literary approach by conducting field observations, conducting in-depth interviews with relevant sources, and analyzing existing documentation. The results indicate that the Landraad te Purbalingga building still retains a number of colonial architectural elements, such as high ceilings, large windows, teak doors, and minimalist-style columns, although some parts have undergone changes due to renovations and functional adjustments. Historically, the building served as a special court for natives during the colonial period, reflecting the practice of legal discrimination and social segregation. The preservation efforts undertaken to date emphasize the importance of maintaining collective memory and local identity through physical preservation as well as the historical value of the building. This research is expected to serve as a basis for efforts to preserve and utilize historic buildings in small towns in Indonesia.

Abstract

The development of a city can affect acculturation and agglomeration. A city that has characteristics as its own identity related to the city's image. According to Kevin Lynch's Theory, there are five elements that form a city's image, including landmarks, paths, districts, nodes, and edges. Based on the Tegal City Regional Regulation in the Regional Spatial Plan and the Tegal Mayor's Regulation in the Detailed Spatial Plan, it is stated that there are historical buildings, one of which is the cultural heritage area of ​​West Tegal District with quite massive urban activities. However, the West Tegal cultural heritage area is starting to lose its identity, as seen from the destroyed buildings that are not in harmony with their original structure and form. So the purpose of this study is to examine the elements of city image to carry out branding of the Tegal City Cultural Heritage Area in supporting sustainable development. The preparation of the article uses a qualitative descriptive method by relying on information from literature and observation. The results of the study show that there are three components that influence the image of the area, including identity as a potential for tourism development; the existence of a spatial structure; and meaning as a perceived potential. Recommendations in conservation conservation areas are to improve public facility systems such as drainage and green open spaces, encourage community participation to become part of local conservation, and make cultural heritage areas part of city life through culture-based tourism.

Abstract

The Development of modernization and rapid development of architecture give wide opportunity for foreign culture's value to set in. That values influence the development of archipelago architecture and shift the nation vales of culture as the foundation of Indonesian architectural identity. The shift that is finally fading out the values of traditional architecture that has been manifested in society life. Aceh house or Rumoh Aceh is traditional house of Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam which is a part of the culture that manifested from space. Currently, only few rumoh aceh can be found in Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam. This is partly caused by the development of times. This study aims to find the causes and things that affect the fade of Indonesia traditional architecture with the case studies of the application of Rumoh Aceh architecture on buildings in some areas in Aceh.

Abstract

The relocation of the administrative city from Banyumas to Purwokerto in 1937 was one of the key moments in the history of colonial governance in Central Java. The Bakorwil III Residency Building in Purwokerto, which is now (2025) Hetero Space, was constructed as a government center to support administrative functions in the region. This building not only became a symbol of colonial power but also reflected the social and economic changes of that era. This research aims to analyze the architectural style and visual architectural elements of the colonial buildings within the Bakorwil Residency Building in Purwokerto. The method used is descriptive qualitative. Data collection was conducted through observation, literature review, and interviews. The research findings show that the architectural style of the Bakorwil Residency Building in Purwokerto was influenced by modern colonial architecture (1915-1940) and the Art Deco style.

Abstract

This study explores the architectural acculturation between Colonial and traditional Chinese styles as manifested in the Roti Mruyung building in Banyumas, a historic structure that reflects the intersection of two distinct cultural identities. This architectural fusion represents the socio-cultural dynamics of the colonial era and the interaction between the Chinese ethnic community and the local population. A descriptive qualitative method was employed to identify and analyze the architectural elements that demonstrate this stylistic blend. Data were collected through direct observation of the building's physical features, interviews with the building's owners and local cultural figures, and a literature review of relevant sources on colonial and Chinese architecture. The findings reveal that Roti Mruyung incorporates colonial architectural elements such as symmetrical layouts, large openings, and brick construction, which are harmoniously combined with traditional Chinese features, including ornaments, and other interior elements. This research highlights that architectural acculturation in the Roti Mruyung building is not only aesthetic but also rich in historical significance and cultural identity, underscoring the importance of its preservation.

Abstract

This article aims to uncover the background and dynamics of transportation infrastructure development in the Regentschap Pemalang during the Dutch colonial period. Transportation infrastructure is a vital element supporting community mobility. However, it has often been overlooked in Indonesian historiography, particularly in the context of hinterland regions such as the Regentschap Pemalang. This research employed historical research methods. The findings indicate that transportation infrastructure played a significant role in the social and economic dynamics of the Regentschap Pemalang. Transportation connected Pemalang with other regions, integrating it into the broader transportation network of Java Island. This strategic role underpinned the development and maintenance of transportation infrastructure, particularly land transportation. Roads and railway lines were types of infrastructure that frequently received attention from the colonial government. Nevertheless, such efforts did not always proceed smoothly due to financial constraints and economic disruptions caused by unstable economic conditions.

Abstract

The conception of sacred and profane space, pioneered by Durkheim and Eliade, is a fundamental dichotomy where the sacred space is a separate, consecrated domain that serves as a locus for transcendent manifestation, while the profane space is the ordinary, mundane world. In Javanese mosque architecture, this dichotomy is manifested through a tiered spatial hierarchy comprising the sacred core space that requires the highest purity for ritual worship, the transitional/buffer space that mediates worldly activities supporting the worship, and the External Profane Space for purely socio-economic activities. Masjid Jami' PITI Muhammad Cheng Hoo Purbalingga replicates this functional hierarchy, yet it utilizes Chinese acculturation as a visual-cultural marker in its profane and transitional zones. Conversely, the sanctity of its core space is strictly maintained by universal Islamic theological markers (such as calligraphy and Qibla orientation), making it a model of inclusivity that expands the boundaries of profanity for both cultural and functional accommodation.
