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

Tulisan ini berupaya membaca kehadiran moda transportasi paratransit dalam berelasi terhadap pergerakan pejalan kaki pada konteks ruang kota. Argumentasi pada tulisan ini dibangun dengan melakukan pengamatan dan analisis berbasis unformed drawing terhadap salah satu kendaraan tak bermotor yaitu becak, yang beroperasi di kawasan kota lama Surabaya, Jawa Timur, Indonesia. Unformed drawing menjadi relevan digunakan karena dapat merekam dengan cepat dan memuat informasi berlapis, sehingga dapat menggali berbagai aspek yang tersembunyi pada ruang kota. Dengan menempatkan unformed drawing sebagai alat investigasi, pengamatan dilakukan dengan membaca kehadiran becak tidak hanya sebagai moda transportasi bergerak yang berpindah dari satu titik ke titik lain. Studi ini mencoba lebih kritis melihat ragam kehadiran becak, yaitu ketika dalam keadaan tidak bergerak dan berhenti dalam durasi waktu tertentu. Studi yang diangkat oleh tulisan ini bertujuan mengungkap aspek-aspek yang dimiliki oleh becak sebagai paratransit sehingga berpotensi mengintervensi ruang sosial, meskipun dia tidak bergerak. Representasi aspek tersebut melalui unformed drawing dapat mendemonstrasikan beberapa mekanisme fleksibilitas dan kondisi yang tersembunyi pada ruang kota. Studi ini menyimpulkan berbagai intervensi kreatif berbasis becak untuk kebutuhan penggunaan ruang kota secara kolektif dan dinamis. This paper attempts to read the presence of paratransit modes of transportation and its relation to the pedestrian movement in the context of urban space. The argument of this paper is built by conducting observations and analysis using unformed drawing on a type of non-motorised vehicles, namely the becak, which operates in the old city area of Surabaya, East Java, Indonesia. Unformed drawing becomes relevant to use because it can record quickly and can contain a more layered information. By placing unformed drawings as an investigative tool, observations are made by reading becak critically by highlighting its various role in urban space when the vehicle is not moving and stops for a certain duration of time. This study aims to reveal the aspects possessed by becak as a paratransit so that it has the potential to interfere in social space, even though it is not moving. Representation of these aspects through unformed drawings demonstrate multiple flexible condition of becak and multiple relations of becak within the movement space in urban context. The study concludes with an array of creative intervention of becak to invite the collective and dynamic uses of urban space.

Abstract

This study discusses the formation of mediated space as a space which combines actors and entities across the real and virtual environment. The study of mediated space in architectural discourse largely emphasises its experiential aspect, and only a few studies explore the formation of mediated space and the architectural elements which spans between the real and virtual environments. This mix of real and virtual environments is made possible through the involvement of the screen as the technological device that mediates the connection between them. This study investigates this process of mediation, focusing on the framing strategy of the virtual environment on the screen, in order to establish an engagement with the actor in the real environment. Understanding this formation process can further inform the potential of virtual space as the setting in our spatial practice, expanding the existence of architectural space.

Abstract

Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk menginvestigasi dan mendemonstrasikan bagaimana metode lipat (fold) dapat digunakan sebagai strategi desain yang adaptif dan fleksibel untuk kebutuhan perancangan rumah tinggal. Arsitektur adaptif memiliki keterkaitan dengan bentuk ‘kecairan’ arsitektur terhadap kondisi internal dan eksternal terkait manusia dan lingkungannya, serta teknologi yang meliputinya. Baik perencanaan penggunaan ruang maupun struktur yang digunakan, arsitektur adaptif perlu memungkinkan sebuah fleksibilitas serta potensi kemudahan modifikasi. Desain rumah dalam penulisan ini menunjukkan metode perancangan berbasis ide folding sebagai strategi adaptif dan fleksibilitas melalui perkembangan struktur dan layout, serta unit furnitur fleksibel yang dapat dilipat sesuai kebutuhan. Desain rumah yang dapat dilipat, digeser, diperluas, dan dipindahkan menunjukan suatu bentuk lingkungan bertinggal yang dapat bergerak dan bertumbuh bersama dengan penghuninya. Desain rumah berbasis folding dalam penulisan ini memposisikan metode perancangan lipat sebagai sebuah upaya kesatuan proses bertempat tinggal manusia dengan lingkungan sekitarnya. This paper aims to investigate and demonstrate how the idea of folding can be used as an adaptive and flexible design method in residential design. Adaptive architecture demonstrate fluidity of architecture that arrange between the internal and external conditions of the built environments, in relation with humans and their environment, as well as the technology construct such conditions. Current literature on folding in architecture have outlined the application of such method in spatial configuration and structural system to allows flexibility and ease future modification. The folding house model in this paper shows the idea of folding as an adaptive strategy and flexibility through to the development of its spatial layout, structural system, as well as flexible interior units that can be folded as needed. A folding house that can be folded, shifted, expanded and moved shows that the house can move and grow together with its occupants. The house design explored in this study then positions the method of folding as an effort to unite the occupants with its surrounding living environment.

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to reflectively explore minimalist architecture as an architecture that is driven by the reduction-based design method. The discussion aims to reframe the design processes and methods of minimalist architecture as informed by field observation. The phenomenon of applying a minimalist architectural approach has become a trend in small-scale housing in Indonesia lately. In the country, the small-scale residential design processes take place in different contexts and are faced with various limitations, from resources, budgets, land size, materials, and so on. The study will frame this discussion around exploring the reductive design method as a way of responding to these limitations. Informed by design strategies from the modern architecture movement, the study was conducted by observing reduction strategies in eight small-scale domestic design which was published and well-narrated in various media. The study findings demonstrate that the reduction does not only exist in the visual aspect of the design and construction process. It also exist in numerous other design elements, such as materials, forms, spaces, and ornamentation, as a strategic response towards the limitations of various resources.

Abstract

This paper explores the perception of designers towards an enabling environment for dementia care in Thailand. The global number of people living with dementia has increased, and the number is growing in developing countries with the decline in the quality of care and the high turnover rates of formal caregivers. A dementia-friendly environment can support the challenging dementia symptoms, employing a specialised environment for quality care that is a significant therapeutic resource for supporting residents’ well-being, such as comfort, familiarity, and organised space. Thus, the salutogenic design approach becomes vital in supporting personalised narratives related to personality, lifestyles, and a decision-making process to enable the person-centred care to enrich their quality of life. The concept of salutogenic design has become a trend for people with dementia to live in small-scale and home-like care settings to enhance meaningful daily activities in familiar domestic settings. This study thematically analyses 15 semi-structured interviews of architects and therapists in Thailand about their perception towards the dementia environment and its relation towards salutogenic design and capabilities approach. Based on such analysis, an enabling environment for dementia care should balance functions and aesthetics for the positive affordances between users and the environment. Instead of perceiving design as a physical environment, the design of an enabling environment should have contextual factors of politics, urban-rural gaps, and education for the whole community.

Abstract

The subconscious thinking governs the way the built environment is experienced and organised by its inhabitants. The collection of articles in this issue of ARSNET explores how our subconscious thinking provides alternative spatial narrative and design methods. The explorations in this issue highlight the different conditions and realms of the subconscious, as well as the various ways of learning and making driven by subjective subconsciousness. These inquiries offer deep thought on how the focus on subconscious thinking reveals hidden experiences and knowledge of architecture, as well as celebrating speculations and open-ended qualities that allow architecture to evolve.

Abstract

This paper explores spatial strategies created through a non-linear continuity of narratives, instead of chronological ones. It employs the creation of multiple narrative possibilities by spatialisation mechanism as a new way of reading an intertextual narrative. This research explores different themes of spatial narratives based on the book Penguin Hate Stuff by Greg Stones. The study utilises the mechanism of spatial manipulation using horizontal and vertical axis towards the episodic events portrayed in the book, questioning the original intertextuality of the book's text, and opening up multiple re-interpretations. The explorations of non-linear narratives demonstrate strategies of spatialisation based on the stitched landscape, the opposition of roles, and collective multiverse possibilities. This study expands the current practice of narratives and architecture by re-reading narrative episodic events in a non-linear way, creating open-ended possibilities.

Abstract

This paper aims to explain learning strategies for deconstructing and reconstructing natural objects as hidden knowledge in nature for application in design studio pedagogy, particularly in developing architectural forms. Current discourse on nature-based architecture learning often places nature as a form of metaphor and analogy. This article presents various results of tracing natural systems, especially plants and animals, as a basis for learning architecture in the Basic Design studio at the Department of Architecture, Faculty of Engineering, Universitas Diponegoro. The implementation of the design studio was conducted by groups of students who explore different types of plant and animal objects. The students were assigned to explore all the interesting aspects of the selected object's system in order to gain specific knowledge beyond the physical. The studio outputs demonstrate an exploration of new architectural forms based on the hidden knowledge of nature. The exploration method of this study follows the pedagogical process in the studio with data collection being carried out periodically through direct observation during model-making time. The learning result of this studio triggers students to be aware of the various hidden knowledge in the environment that can be used as a basic system for developing architectural forms.

Abstract

This study explores the narrative of dreams as a basis of architectural design operation. This study positions its exploration within a dreamscape; or a surrealist situation that becomes the basis of architectural design. Current architectural discourse has explored design based on some structured and rigid operations. However, understanding dreamscape as a design medium positions the importance of explorative and unstructured operations as the basis of the alternative spatial narrative. Morpheus is a title of experimental architecture programming in this design study which is driven by a series of speculative dream operations. This study employs dream narratives to develop architectural programming languages, from the initial exploration to the materialisation of its architecture. In this study, architecture emerge as an experimental instrument based on speculative and unstructured operations of dreamscape, as an alternative method in constructing narrative relationships.

Abstract

Tulisan ini membahas tentang perancangan ruang bekerja dengan tipologi creative hub berbasis karakter generasi masa depan. Perubahan ruang bekerja dipengaruhi oleh tren demografis yang merubah masyarakat secara umum dan kemajuan teknologi yang memudahkan komunikasi. Pada tahun 2020–2030, diperkirakan usia produktif yang siap untuk bekerja akan didominasi oleh generasi milenial. Isu permasalahan muncul saat ruang bekerja konvensional saat ini tidak lagi sesuai dengan karakter generasi tersebut. Melalui eksplorasi tipologi berbagai desain ruang bekerja di Jakarta, Bogor, dan Bandung, tulisan ini bertujuan untuk memperlihatkan bagaimana perancangan sebuah ruang bekerja di masa mendatang mampu mendukung karakter pekerja dalam berbagai aspek, yakni aspek collective, community, connected, costumization, dan confidence. Penelusuran terhadap aspek-aspek tersebut memengaruhi prinsip bekerja, gaya bekerja, preferensi tata ruang, serta minat industri dalam bekerja yang kemudian menjadi kriteria untuk mengembangkan creative hub sebagai pusat kegiatan kreatif. Tulisan ini mengulas perancangan creative hub yang menyenangkan dan ceria sebagai ruang ideal bagi pekerja di masa mendatang sebagai kontribusi terhadap perancangan ruang bekerja di masa depan. This article discusses the development of the workspace design of a creative hub based on the characters of the future generation. Workspace changes are influenced by demographic trends and technology that alter society as a whole. In 2020–2030, it is expected that the productive working generation will be dominated by the millennial. However, the current conventional workspace is not suited to the character of such a generation. Through typological exploration of various creative workspaces in Jakarta, Bogor, and Bandung, this article aims to demonstrate how future workspaces accommodate various aspects of working, from collective, community, connected, customization, and confidence. Investigations towards such aspects shape the working principles, working lifestyle, and space organisation preferences that influence the development criteria of a creative hub as a centre of creative working activities. This article discusses a playful creative hub design as an ideal working space for future generations, as a contribution towards future workspace design.
