Abstract

This paper examines the architectural characteristics of Javanese houses and investigates the factors that influence their development and evolution. The study focuses on Mr. Maryanto’s house, a third-generation inhabitant of the house, which is estimated to be more than a century old. The research delves into the historical transformations of the house's structure and materials, particularly the “usuk” and “reng” replacements. Additionally, it explores the presence of unique ornamental features, such as the “naga” motifs on the “dhadha peksi”, which is unusual for rural houses. The paper analyzes the spatial layout and function of the rooms within the house, revealing the significance of factors like cultural traditions, economic conditions, and environmental adaptations in shaping Javanese house architecture.

Abstract

As it serves as the outermost layer directly exposed to the surrounding climate, building façade is one of the key factors influencing thermal comfort. Glass is a commonly used facade material in building design due to its ability to allow natural light into indoor spaces and enhance aesthetic appeal. However, if the proportion of glass is not carefully considered in relation to the local climate—particularly the building’s orientation to the sun— it can lead to increased indoor temperatures, negatively impacting thermal comfort. This study examines the impact of facade design, specifically the window-to-wall ratio (WWR) and building orientation, on indoor air temperatures in two case study buildings at Institut Teknologi Sumatera: Building E and the General Lecture Building (GKU). Field measurements conducted over six consecutive days, with hourly temperature recordings, showed that GKU consistently maintained lower indoor temperatures than Building E. This was attributed to GKU’s north-south orientation and its brick facade with shading elements, which helped minimize solar heat gain. In contrast, Building E, characterized by an east-west orientation, a high WWR, and insufficient shading, experienced higher indoor temperatures and thermal discomfort, even with air-conditioning. These findings highlight the crucial role of facade design in optimizing thermal performance in tropical climates, offering valuable insights for sustainable architectural practices worldwide.

Abstract

This research paper delves into the transformative potential of technology to address urban inequality, a persistent challenge faced by urban centers marked by income disparity, limited access to essential services, and spatial segregation. Employing a multi-disciplinary approach, the study integrates insights from urban planning, social sciences, and technology innovation. Beginning with an extensive literature review, the research identifies key manifestations of inequality in cities and explores the ways technology has been harnessed to mitigate disparities in education, healthcare, transportation, housing, and public services, drawing from successful case studies and underlying principles that facilitated their success. The study also addresses the challenges and limitations associated with technology driven solutions, including ethical considerations, digital divides, and potential unintended consequences, while investigating the role of public-private partnerships and policy frameworks in supporting technology-driven initiatives to reduce urban inequality. Presenting a comprehensive framework, the paper outlines various technological interventions and innovative strategies, ranging from smart city infrastructure and data-driven decision-making to inclusive digital platforms and community-driven solutions, all adaptable to specific urban contexts. In conclusion, the research offers actionable recommendations for policymakers, city planners, and technology developers to effectively utilize technology in reducing urban inequality, emphasizing collaborative efforts, participatory design, and continuous evaluation to ensure equitable distribution of benefits from technology-enabled urban development. By analyzing successful case studies and addressing potential challenges, this study provides valuable insights to create more inclusive cities through the judicious application of technology, fostering a broader dialogue among stakeholders and encouraging the adoption of innovative and ethical practices to establish sustainable, just, and equal urban spaces.

Abstract

This research aims to explore diverse bamboo processing techniques for panel production and their impact on indoor environmental quality, with a focus on lighting and thermal comfort. By reviewing traditional and contemporary methods of bamboo technique, we identify optimal approaches for creating bamboo panels that enhance natural lighting and thermal conditions. Laboratory testing and simulations are employed to analyze changes in optical properties and thermal performance, including light transmission, diffusion, thermal conductivity, and insulation. The findings provide architects and construction professionals with actionable insights into leveraging bamboo's sustainability to achieve superior indoor environments. This study promotes eco-friendly building practices that prioritize occupant well-being and environmental preservation.

Abstract

Data shows that, all recorded cases of violence in Indonesia, most of the victims were children. architecture needs to respond to this phenomenon by manipulating certain spatial designs, because these cases occur in architectural spaces. This issue should ideally be considered on a city scale, seeing that the highest mobility of children is movement within the city, perhaps going to school or to the playground within the same city. To create a safe environment for children from violence that lurk on a city scale, it is necessary to manipulate the design of spaces in the city where children usually carry out their activities, thus these spaces can be called child-friendly spaces. By using the theory of architecture as a crime control, which is a prevention and protection mechanism for victims and potential victims of urbanscale violence, the spatial and formal aspects that need special attention are visibility, dimensions and shape, and accessibility.
