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

The Jogja Planning Gallery is a cultural park designed to serve as a showcase for Yogyakarta's arts and craftspeople. The site is located within the philosophical axis of Jalan Malioboro, and, based on the organizers' guidance, the design was required to consider contextual and sustainable aspects. The cluster of buildings and the surrounding environment are expected to embody the philosophy, history, environment, spatial planning, architectural design, and future of Yogyakarta. This concept is embodied in a design that reflects the ideal dimension formed by the superimposition of historical and harmonious dimensions. The historical dimension refers to the philosophical axis of Yogyakarta and the conservation objects on the site: the former Provincial DPRD building and two ancient banyan trees. The dimension of harmony is developed from an imaginary line connecting the actual center point of the former DPRD building with Mount Merapi. The philosophical axis evokes a spiritual connection with the Creator or the journey toward existence. This pilgrimage is depicted as full of physical struggle, symbolizing the temptations of worldly functions on either side of the axis, including the future Jogja Planning Gallery building. These materialistic temptations must be overcome, even though they can be misleading. The axis of harmony symbolizes human creativity, which always strives to achieve material truth, despite its physical limitations. Jogja Planning Gallery is a superimposition of ideals that represent ambiguity, symbolizing a physical journey that must be undertaken with constant remembrance and vigilance because the main thing in life is to achieve spiritual existence.

Abstract

The design of the “Aethra Nexus” Basketball International Arena in Surabaya is motivated by the need for an international-standard sports facility capable of strengthening the city’s identity while supporting the national basketball ecosystem. Surabaya was selected due to its strong fan base, adequate infrastructure, strategic position as Indonesia’s second-largest metropolitan city, and the active support of both government and private sectors in advancing the sports industry. This project adopts a deconstructivist architectural approach to generate an iconic form that is dynamic and expressive, while incorporating the infinity symbol (∞) as a representation of continuity, global connectivity, and limitless potential in the regeneration of athletes and sports culture. The concept also responds to critical issues such as unequal global access, excessive commercialization, athlete pressure, organizational stagnation, and gender disparities within the basketball community. Design innovation is realized through the application of sustainable design principles, the exploration of advanced materials, and the integration of a forest trail connected to an urban forest, serving as a recreational and ecological element that enhances spatial experience. This arena is expected to function as a hub for competition, collaboration, and continuous development, contributing to improved athletic performance, the growth of the creative economy, and the enhancement of Surabaya’s sports tourism appeal.

Abstract

The Design of Aquila Hoop Arena aims to provide international basketball competition facilities that are adaptive to the tropical climate in Sidoarjo Regency. Sidoarjo was chosen based on considerations of its strategic location near Juanda Airport and adequate infrastructural support. The main challenges in this design are high solar heat intensity and noise pollution from aviation activities. The design method employs a sustainable architectural approach by integrating local fauna. The design results not only implement these two approaches but also a metaphor of a basketball hoop on the building mass and the silhouette of the Garuda bird's wings as a symbol of national strength. Ecological strategies are implemented through a building envelope that adapts the morphology of Pangolin scales to optimize thermal comfort and energy efficiency in the building. Furthermore, the application of the urban forest concept serves as a noise buffer and heat reduction for the arena area. This design is expected to not only become a new sports icon but also a model for public buildings that are responsive to environmental context and locality.

Abstract

Blitar Coffee Hub is designed as a coffee distribution and education center that integrates economic, cultural, and community-based tourism functions. Originating from the significant potential of Arabica and Robusta coffee in Blitar, which has not been fully optimized in its distribution chain, this project provides an integrated hub that connects farmers, SMEs, tourists, and the community. The biomorphic architectural approach is applied to create organic spatial experiences inspired by natural forms, utilizing local materials such as bamboo, rattan, and wood as a manifestation of sustainability. The Coffee Hub is designed with three main functions: a post-harvest coffee distribution center, an educational facility that showcases the coffee journey from plantation to cup, and a tourism destination that also serves as an iconic architectural landmark of Blitar. Its presence is expected to strengthen Blitar’s identity as a coffee city, enhance the competitiveness of local SMEs, and create an inclusive and sustainable public space.

Abstract

The provision of adequate healthcare facilities is an important component in improving public health services. Type D hospitals serve as primary healthcare referral facilities, providing basic medical services at the regional level. The planning and design of hospital facilities must comply with technical and functional standards set by national healthcare regulations. This study aims to develop the planning and architectural design of a Type D hospital in Pontianak in accordance with Indonesian Ministry of Health regulations. The design applies spatial standards, medical service zoning, circulation requirements, and supporting facility standards in accordance with national hospital planning guidelines. The expected result is a hospital design that meets regulatory requirements while supporting effective and efficient healthcare services.

Abstract

The development of basketball in major cities requires international-standard facilities that not only meet technical standards but also reflect the identity and spirit of modern sports. Surabaya, a metropolitan city with a strong basketball fan base, currently has only a limited number of international-scale basketball arenas. Therefore, this design aims to create an international basketball arena in Surabaya that can accommodate large-scale sports activities and events while also serving as a city landmark. The design method used is a neo-futuristic architectural approach, which emphasizes the expression of dynamic, futuristic, and symbolic forms of energy and movement in basketball. The VortexBlaze design concept is implemented through the transformation of the building's mass and facade, inspired by vortexes and flames (blaze) as symbols of rhythm, strength, and the spirit of competition. The design results show a basketball arena with an expressive, dynamic facade that creates a strong visual identity and meets international standards for basketball arenas. This arena is expected to support the development of basketball in Surabaya and strengthen the city's image as a center for international sports activities and events.

Abstract

Malang is a major cultural and educational center with strong potential for art and tourism development. However, local cultural values, particularly the tradition of Topeng Malangan, remain underrepresented in modern public spaces and face challenges, including declining numbers of young practitioners and limited facilities. This study aims to design an art gallery that represents the city’s cultural identity through a modern architectural approach emphasizing functionality, contextuality, and sustainability. Using an empirical, descriptive, qualitative method, the research includes literature reviews, field observation, site and cultural analyses, and precedent studies of Selasar Sunaryo Art Space, the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, and Ulen Sentalu Museum. The findings highlight architectural principles that integrate local cultural values with modern design. The proposed design accommodates exhibition, education, conservation, and social space while preserving the symbolic meaning of Topeng Malangan culture. Emphasizing spatial openness, flexibility, natural lighting, and a blend of local modern materials, the gallery is envisioned as an exhibition, educational, and social hub. Ultimately, it serves as a physical representation of Malang’s cultural identity and supports sustainable tourism and creative economic growth.
