Core Subject :
Architectural Design Journal (ADJ) : ARCHITENSA, was first published (Volume 1 Number 1) in February 2025 by the Architecture Study Program, Faculty of Engineering, Merdeka University of Malang. ARCHITENSA Journal is a periodical publication that showcases architectural design works, including Academic Designs, Design Competition Results, and Real Project Designs. The journal focuses on architectural design as a form of intellectual and creative output—whether as part of academic assignments, competition entries, or professional projects. The main subject of study includes architectural entities related to space and form—of buildings, environments, and urban areas—across a range of scales. Design works are expected to reflect the dynamic interplay between physical form and contextual forces, including human activity, societal dynamics, and environmental conditions. These elements—alongside underlying value systems (social, cultural, economic)—are regarded as essential foundations in architectural design decision-making. While the scope remains open in terms of depth and thematic exploration, submissions that embrace multidisciplinary or interdisciplinary approaches in architectural design are strongly encouraged. The editorial team of ARCHITENSA invites contributions from prospective, emerging, and professional architects whose works have not been previously published in any print or online media. The second issue is scheduled for publication in August 2025.

Abstract

Toyomarto Village has a great potential that can be explored to encourage high and sustainable economic growth from the tourism sector. The geography is very profitable for Toyomarto Village because it is located on the foot of Mount Arjuna so that it has an exotic panorama and still maintains its beauty. In addition to abundant natural resources, Toyomarto Village also has a rich history and culture that dates back to the 14th century, when Toyomarto Village was the civilization area of the Majapahit Kingdom. The background of the naming of Toyomarto Village is derived from the Javanese language which means Toya (Water) A (No) Marta (Dead), interpreted as the water of life, this is related to the water sources that are of very high quality and abundant. Therefore, it is very feasible to design a cultural tourism park that raises the locality of Toyomarto Village using a contextual architecture approach.

Abstract

Kampoeng Boenga Grangsil (KBG) is a developing rural tourism destination located in Malang Regency, East Java Province, with its main attractions rooted in the natural landscape and community-based floriculture. The transformation of the KBG tourist destination has been conceptualized as a Master Plan for advancing KBG from 2020 to 2030. The KBG Development Masterplan for 2020-2030 constitutes a Long-Term Development Strategy (10 Years) for KBG, delineated into two distinct phases of development. As tourism activities grow, the demand for attractive and environmentally responsible support facilities becomes more urgent. One of the key challenges is the absence of iconic photo spots that can enhance the site's visual identity and visitor experience. This study aims to design a photo spot bridge using local bamboo material, integrating environmentally friendly architectural principles and a participatory approach involving local stakeholders. The research and design process adopted a community-based participatory method facilitated by a Community Service Program (Partner Village Development) team. The process involved collaborative ideation, material exploration, and co-construction with residents. Bamboo was selected as the primary material due to its local abundance, sustainable characteristics, and cultural relevance within the community. The design outcome is a bamboo photo spot bridge prototype that aligns with the site's natural aesthetics, supporting environmental sustainability and strengthening the destination's visual identity. Community participation throughout the planning and construction phases contributed to a strong sense of ownership and local capacity-building. The study recommends adopting similar participatory and material-conscious approaches for future facility development within Kampoeng Boenga Grangsil and other rural tourism destinations. It also highlights the importance of incorporating eco-education elements and sustainable construction techniques in long-term tourism development strategies

Abstract

The increasing demands of urban life in Surabaya, combined with intense workloads, rapid development, and poor work-life balance, have contributed to a significant rise in stress, anxiety, and mental health disorders, particularly among the productive-age population. Reports from the World Health Organization and the 2018 Riskesdas survey indicate that East Java has one of the highest prevalence rates of psychological disorders in Indonesia. Locally, prolonged working hours and toxic workplace environments are recognized as major contributing factors. At the same time, Surabaya holds strong potential in providing environmental and healthsupportive infrastructure. The city has achieved 22% green open space (RTH), exceding the national standard, and demonstrates growing public awareness of wellness and physical fitness. In response to these issues, this project proposes a Holistic Wellness Center as a regenerative urban solution. The design combines facilities for physical and mental well-being such as gym areas, yoga studios, spa, and reflection spaces with regenerative architectural strategies including green building integration, renewable energy systems, grey and black water recycling, and natural ventilation. This project aims to create an inclusive and sustainable facility that not only addresses mental and physical health concerns, but also contributes positively to urban ecological restoration and environmental awareness through regenerative design.

Abstract

Abdulrachman Saleh Airport is the only airport serving the Greater Malang area. It plays a significant role as the main “gateway” to a region known for its rich tourism, historical value, and natural potential. However, this “gateway” identity is not yet fully reflected in the physical character or the current terminal building. The terminal fails to create a strong impression as a representative entrance and lacks coherence in both character and design unity. Therefore, a redesign of the airport area is necessary to rebuild its visual and functional identity as a key transportation hub. This design adopts a bioclimatic approach to ensure the building responds to Malang’s climatic conditions while supporting the creation of a sustainable environment. The integration of smart building concepts is also applied to enhance spatial performance and efficiency through the use of environmentally friendly technology. Furthermore, the unification of the two terminal buildings into a single architectural identity becomes a key focus to improve accessibility for the passengers, visitors, and transportation modes. This strategy is expected to serve as a solution to the existing issues and strengthen Abdulrachman Saleh Airport’s role as an adaptive gateway that aligns with its surrounding environment and keeps pace with future development.

Abstract

This architectural design project proposes the Ocean Green Science District in Surabaya, a marine research center that integrates sustainability, smart technology, and futuristic architectural expression. The selection of Surabaya’s coastal area as the site reflects its strategic location in supporting national marine research, education, and innovation. The design is guided by a contextual, functional, and morphological approach, aiming to harmonize the building with the coastal environment while also responding to urban dynamics. The main concept, “A Futuristic Harmony of Marine Science,” is translated through a combination of fluid building forms, wave-inspired facades, and smart green infrastructure. The project is divided into two building masses: Aegir, the high-rise research tower that symbolizes strength and knowledge of the sea, and Ranalia, the supporting low-rise complex that embraces openness and adaptability. Together, they form a unified marine science hub connected by an eco-corridor and sky bridge system. This project emphasizes not only environmental and technological integration, but also architectural storytelling that represents the depth and dynamism of the ocean. The result is a research facility that is visionary, functional, and responsive to the future of marine science.

Abstract

As a metropolitan city, Surabaya faces a range of social challenges resulting from rapid urbanization and unequal access to education, employment, and basic services. To respond to these challenges, there is a need for facilities capable of empowering communities through skills training and non-formal education. A Social Development Center based on Biophilic Architecture in Surabaya serves not only as a response to these social issues but also as a center for community capacity building. The design integrates natural elements such as vegetation, water features, natural lighting, ventilation, and sustainable materials to create comfortable and healthy spaces. This study was conducted through literature review, site analysis, and a design approach rooted in biophilic principles. The result is a conceptual design of a social center that supports education, training, and the strengthening of urban communities. Its implementation is expected to offer an innovative solution toward the development of a more sustainable and environmentally friendly city.
