Core Subject :
ARSNET is a scholarly journal dedicated to capturing creative exploration in design process. Abbreviated from architectural design network journal, ARSNET serves as a platform for various design disciplines; from architecture, interior, and other spatial design discourses. The journal focuses on contemporary design approaches and practices in Indonesia informed by its social, cultural, and environmental contexts, in parallel to the development of design discourses globally. It takes particular interest in the behind-the-scenes processes: the inquiries, experiments, trial and errors, and speculations, be it performed individually or collaboratively as part of professional or pedagogical design practices. The journal is also interested in understanding how these creative processes apply in current times of technological advancements. Discussion of these creative processes must be theoretically engaged, creating a dialogue between academic discourse and design practice. Authors are invited to submit manuscripts that address design exploration, which may include but not limited to creative processes that expand design methods, creative processes that question or speculate ideas that trigger design possibilities, or creative processes within the pedagogical settings. Submissions in the form of project reviews and academic design project reflections are also welcomed, recognising the potentials of a multidisciplinary outlook and utilisation of mixed media within the design process.

Abstract

This paper explores the potential of spatial atmosphere as the basis of a coffee stall design, creating an intimate understanding of the possible sensory transactions that occurred throughout the coffee-brewing process. In this reflective piece, a coffee stall design process is presented and dissected to unveil the programmatic basis of the design. A closer look at multi-sensory experiences that include sight, smell, and sound in the process of brewing is considered essential. They hold a significant role in perceiving the surrounding atmosphere and how it impacts our design process. A series of equipment and ingredient tracing is conducted to identify the optimal barista's workflow and the production of a multi-sensory experience, rethinking the purpose of the surrounding objects from two different perspectives. Such a process positioned the atmosphere exploration as a focus in achieving a unique programme where the objects within the coffee-making process generate the space through materiality and immateriality.

Abstract

Penelitian ini menggunakan metode simulasi analisis akustik dan visual untuk mengevaluasi kualitas ruang, serta memahami bagaimana desain ruang tertentu dapat menghadirkan kualitas multisensori yang dapat mendukung penyandang tunarungu. Simulasi analisis akustik menggunakan Ecotect untuk mengukur reverberasi dan pantulan suara. Sementara simulasi analisis visibilitas menggunakan depthmapX untuk mengukur isovist pengguna, integrasi, dan visibilitas ruang. Hasil simulasi menunjukkan bahwa ruang dengan sumber suara dari atas akan lebih baik dalam mendistribusi suara tanpa menimbulkan tingkat reverberasi ruang yang tinggi. Sumber suara berbentuk pocket dan organic enclosure dapat mengurangi tingkat reverberasi dan pantulan suara dalam ruang, meningkatkan privasi ruang sekaligus memberikan lapang pandang yang cukup luas bagi penglihatan kaum tunarungu. Hasil penelitian ini menemukan bahwa ada tiga konsep utama yang mempengaruhi kualitas akustik dan visual bagi kaum tunarungu, yaitu enclosure yang mempengaruhi tingkat privasi dan reverberasi ruang, integrasi yang menentukan visibilitas spasial dan orientasi massa atau bidang, serta material yang mempengaruhi kualitas absorpsi suara dalam ruang. This study addressed the auditorial necessity and visual potential of the deaf using acoustic and visual analysis simulation. Due to the poorly designed room acoustics, the deaf people had difficulties communicating, despite the use of hearing aids or cochlear implants. This condition often causes some distorted sound waves in hearing aids. To compensate for the deficiency in auditory abilities, the deaf people relied on their peripheral vision as a source of information for communication. However, the understanding of parameters of room geometry that are necessary to support both the acoustic and visual qualities of the deaf was limited. Based on the depthmapX and Ecotect simulations, this study discovered that the source of the sound in space should come from the top to minimise the reverberation time. Spaces in the form of pockets and with organic enclosure also minimise the reverberation time and sound reflection, achieving privacy while maintaining the potential peripheral vision of the deaf. The study also revealed that a room with acoustic and visual qualities for the deaf should incorporate three concepts, i.e., an enclosure to achieve a certain level of privacy and sound reverberation; integration of spatial visibility following the room or wall orientations; and consideration of the use of materials to absorb the different frequencies of sound.

Abstract

Discussion of a sensory-driven architecture emphasises the need for a deeper and more holistic understanding of space. The collection of articles in this issue of ARSNET presents a variety of methods for engaging with the sensorial experience. These articles explore the process of measuring, interpreting, tracing, and constructing the spatial elements and spatial processes driven by sensorial stimulants, driving different projections of space. From the emergence of architecture that is more responsive to the diverse and subjective body needs in space to architecture that responds towards natural qualities as well as natural processes. Some articles also enable propositions of architectural form and programming with sensory-induced spatialities and temporalities. Through such projections, the issue creates multiple possibilities for sensory-driven design objectives which transcend contexts, practices and users, significantly expanding the sensory architecture discourse.

Abstract

This article explores the idea of cooking as an everyday spatial practice which occurs in a sensorial and material way within the kitchen. Rather than focusing on the physical arrangement and the efficient workflow, the kitchen exists as a space of strategy and tactics in cooking. Cooking is a practice that involves material transformation driven by sensorial experience, which further shapes the spatial strategies and tactics performed within a kitchen. This study explores a routine noodle-cooking practice, observing the participant’s sensory experience and material transformation to demonstrate the kitchen as an everyday space of strategies and tactics. The kitchen becomes a spatial arrangement that celebrates the intertwining between the transformation of material with sensory experience. Such intertwine governed operations of cooking strategies and tactics, arranging the timing of movements, altering sequence of activities, and manipulation techniques of material. Such operation arguably insinuates the kitchen as an idea constructed by the intertwined layers of sensory and material transformation, contributing to expanding the idea of the kitchen from an everyday perspective.

Abstract

Recent architectural research concerning the theme of global warming seems to have brought attention to the natural phenomena that affect human life. It highlights a particular interest in the interpretation of the dynamic processes of the environment and all the natural entities, plants, and animals that inhabit it. The principle of resilience, which indicates the ability of physical entities to adapt to changes in the environment, represents the new paradigm of contemporary architectural design. However, the improper use of this term for communication purposes takes the attention away from projects that entwine a true relationship with the complex world of nature. This contribution aims to rediscover the new ways of relations towards the natural world beyond the interpretation that requires a technological replacement but through an organic sharing between human life and the environment. A series of case studies are divided into three different groups: architectural projects as an interpretation of natural phenomena, the construction of architectural experience as the integration of subnature in the project, and the role of the plants as natural things with a qualifying spatial entity. These different groups trace the conditions for a design that is truly compatible with the complex organic world, following the principles of resilience and changeability.

Abstract

This paper investigates the notion of visibility and invisibility in architecture as a framework for exploring the existence of food in the domestic area. The paper argues that there is a disconnection between food, people, and the process behind it in everyday life. Such disconnection demonstrates the alternating visible and invisible existence of food process. Exploring both existences becomes essential to reveal the overall spatial story of food. The paper explores these two aspects through the food journey in the domestic space, creating a micro investigation of how food is obtained, prepared, cooked, and served. This paper aims to examine the possibilities of outlining the complex programming in everyday systems driven by the visibility and invisibility of food in domestic settings. Based on the findings of this study, the paper develops a form of programming titled (In)visible architecture, which constructs the co-existence between visible and invisible. Using exploration of tracing, mapping, and design mechanisms, such programming aims to reveal the complex visibility of everyday systems and, by doing so, broaden the relevance of knowledge of food-based architectural design.

Abstract

This paper argues that colour can be seen as a tectonic instrument to visualise spatial order and generate the surface configuration towards the overall form. Colour plays an important role within a space formation system, more than just a decorative element. Colour demonstrates performance that blurs the surface, presents spatial continuity, or emphasises the presence of space through a well-arranged achromatic-polychromatic colour composition. This paper explores various forms of colour combinations in Starbucks’ interior settings to reveal the performance of colour as part of the functional and expressive space formation system. The study utilises Hue, Saturation, and Lightness (HSL) analysis towards multiple case studies of Starbucks to find out to what extent the formation of a colour system that is specifically made for the identity of a product can be implemented on an architectural scale. The findings introduce another logic of colour systems combination that can be used strategically as a basis for designing architectural spaces.

Abstract

The architectural discussion of multiplicity moves beyond the preoccupation with architecture as a fixed, conclusive, and eternal entity. The collection of articles in this issue of ARSNET investigates the multidimensionality of architecture. The explorations in this issue span from the discussion of multi-layered meaning and temporalities of architecture, to the dynamic representation and spatial operation of multiplicities. Through inquiries on multiplicity-driven design methods, this issue projects the expanded and open field of architecture, appreciating the different forces and processes of society.

Abstract

The role of museums in Botswana has evolved from collecting ethnographic objects and exhibition development to architectural heritage conservation. This paper explores the evolution of museum development through case studies of the National Museum in Gaborone and a regional museum, the Phuthadikobo Museum in Mochudi. The study examines exhibition practices in these museums by discussing the limitations of traditional methods of exhibition and arguing in favour of a multi-layered exhibition method. Both the National Museum and Phuthadikobo Museum have now transformed into cultural institutions which now undertake architectural heritage conservation projects. These projects include the National Museum project which recreates three huts representative of the vernacular architecture of different tribes which we argue is a heritage-making project. The Phuthadikobo Museum proposes for an open-air museum that conserves the existing buildings in situ and addresses the intersection of heritage conservation, a sense of history, intangible heritage, and lived traditions. Situated within the debates on museum development and heritage conservation, the paper considers how museum development in Botswana could address the challenges of museum exhibitions and the questions on heritage authenticity.

Abstract

There is no escape from time; that includes architecture which dominantly discusses the space. This paper aims to explore more about our understanding of the various times within space and its corresponding stories. Notably, this study looks at the context of the narrative environment where stories are imbued in space to enhance their engagement with the audience. Time in a narrative is presented through the narrated time and the real-world time where the audience of the narrative perceives it. Both types of time can be overlapped, whether the audience is consciously aware of that or not. Two case studies are conducted to understand overlapping multiple time layers in the narrative environments. Through a personal visit to Museum Kebangkitan Nasional and participation in the Secret Cinema event, data is gathered by taking photos, looking for official publications, and time-count during the experience. It is found that time can be spatialised through the explicit transition of graphics, a play of lighting, and overall spatial organisation that affect the pace and duration of the narrative in space.
