Abstract

A city is said to be accessible if its implementation accommodates users’ needs, including those with special needs, either disabled, elderly, children, etc. The environment is considered accessible if it ensures users' equality, equity, and living without a hitch. Surabaya, a city with great appreciation and recognition, known to be one of the best cities in the world, is still yet not to be entitled as an accessible city, despite all the greatness of the town, which improve the people living in it. Like most cities in Indonesia, Surabaya is built mainly normative oriented to buildings and urban infrastructures and facilities, not human-orientedapproach. Some failures in urban design implementation are common, for instance: tree roots and their placement are still interfering pedestrians on the sidewalk; most signage is still not informative enough for people with special needs in streets and public facilities; guiding blocks for blind people are far from decent to be safely and comfortably used in a daily basis; parks pay no attention to their accessibility; etc. This paper offers an idea about how to live as a blind person in Indonesia and how the experience is considered the primary part of a design process. The idea is generated to propose the design criteria for redesigninga public park. The data is gathered through participant observation by referencing from a blind’s point of view. Taman Bungkul is chosen as a field study as it is one of the best and the oldest parks in Surabaya and has been recognized and actively used by the residents. The proposed idea is formed by directly experiencing and observing what it feels like to be blind amidst public facilities designed for the non-disabled. The design criteria weigh how blinds gather information, percept spaces and distances, and use their senses such as aural, olfactory, tactile, and other senses. The result proposes design criteria for existing public facilities that are more accessible, visitable, comfortable, and inclusive for everyone, especially for the blind. The design is presented and graphically communicated.

Abstract

Steven Holl, an American architect who began his design career in 1975, has a unique way of designing. He is known for his many drawings, artistic expression, and distinctive conceptual designs. Steven Holl's designs start with watercolour sketches, a world-renowned architect whose projects are still underway worldwide. This study will examine the philosophy of Steven Holl's plan. It will also explore the aspects of his proposal of sustainable architecture, which he has presented in recent years. It will consider the coexistence of the theme of sustainable architecture with the works of contemporary architects to deepen our knowledge of architectural DesignDesign. In addition, the purpose is to clarify the modelling characteristics by classifying the outer shape of residential works using a plan view.

Abstract

Parametric design practice is thriving in the realm of architecture for the last decade. This development is caused by the dynamic progress of computational design technology allowing the designer to engage in complex geometry generation and parametric optimization in the design process. The interoperability of parametric design tool with building simulation software is the key in the parametric design trend that enables designers to solve different socio-environmental problems. Considering of its potencies and development, this study investigates how parametric design practice should be implemented in architecture education, especially in the context of Indonesia university. Reflecting on the teaching case studies in different universities, parametric design should be implemented in architecture teaching, starting from advanced 3D modelling and design fabrication practices. A framework of parametric design teaching is proposed, which can be feasibly implemented in the context of Indonesia university where the awareness of parametric design trend is just growing.

Abstract

Behavior aspects cover response of interaction between human and places, showing existence of interactive spaces that not only describes behavior but also the place character. Currently, the level of need for human social and economic interaction is increasingly binding. Purpose of this study is to identify behavior of users in public space especially in utilizing space when they carry out social and economic activities simultaneously, and to question whether the creation of public space can reflect the character of identity. Activities to be observed are in residential corridor of Sekarbela, Mataram City. This space is used daily as space for social and economic interaction. This is qualitative research using grounded theory and case study. Data collection techniques were carried out by observation, description, and documentation. Interactive analysis model is used with descriptive analysis of behavior setting in Sekarbela corridor. The results show that social and economic activities are behavior identities in public space of urban settlement. The routine activities of production, distribution, and consumption in this area unwittingly make this space unified and give more meaning to a public space; not only perceived social and economic space separately but intertwined each other and makes the public space more vibrant.

Abstract

Urban sprawl is a phenomenon characterized by the accidental movement of residents from the downtown to the urban periphery. This urban sprawl phenomenon tends to hurt the urban boundary. The concept of spatial hybrid can indirectly be indicated as a form of sustainable urban development that overcomes the problems caused by the negative ImpactImpact of urban sprawl in the urban periphery. This study uses the constructivism paradigm. The strategy in this research is a combination of qualitative research and case studies. It specifically selected case studies in the area of Darmo Permai Surabaya-Indonesia. The Darmo Permai area is a form of urban sprawl that began in 1973. The Darmo Permai area finds harmony between the newcomer and residents through an adaptation process. This harmony is manifested in a hybrid space analyzed from the social aspect of sustainability. The hybrid space is founded based on the activities of its residents, which are characterized by five aspects of the hybrid space. The five aspects of the hybrid space are coexistence, transfusion, interconnection, ambivalence, and heterogeneity.

Abstract

The role of light has been studied, examined, and analyzed for the built environment from ancient times. The methodology was conducted by literature review and precedents study to determine shifts in viewpoints that become the basis of architectural lighting design practice. This paper will discuss four evolution viewpoints but understanding the sky with its properties is the first step before moving forward. The first evolution will focus on light's role from perception to narration; the second one will examine light from the point of development of aperture to performance; the third will investigate light from material to immaterial with a particular focus on light's immateriality from the point of view of J.J. Gibson, and the last part will have an overview of light's purpose from quantitative value to its contemplative tranquillity. All four evolutions will provide broad strokes from one extreme to the other to highlight the shift of lighting knowledge and applications.

Abstract

The discussion starts with a question regarding why most of office buildings use the international style as their building expression. The first initial investigation is carried out by studying several precedents adapted from the rationalist and modern movement era. International style has architectural characteristics such as a simple form, pure structure, simple geometry, glass wall facade, and form follows function. This style mostly shows a lack of identity that does not respond to the local value and expression. The architectural buildings become placeless and do not represent the place with specific environmental responses and identity (contextual architecture). Additionally, an office building should be able to respond to the users’ activities and their identity/characters. This paper is based on the process of design project from design thinking, design research, and design process to conceptual design proposal. Design thinking is started by asking the question “what if” the new building design proposal reverses the international style’s facts through literature studies. The goals are to create the latest concepts that express their own character and image to portray both the users' characters and the location, which is human and environmentally friendly, using contextual analysis. Next, the design process includes explaining and arguing the process from proposing the design concept to building transformation. Some methods are used to determine the ‘big idea’ and design criteria and parameters, including the first principle, domain-to-domain transfer, and responding to site. The design proposal expresses the building heritage and its atmosphere, users’ characteristics, and has low energy efficiency. The design results highlight the aspect of "value of site" and “character of the building user” are essential to create the building image and identity.

Abstract

High urban population growth increases the housing demand and housing prices due to its limitations. These increasing urban housing prices affect housing affordability, especially for urban families with low and medium incomes. If people could buy a house with a large area in the past, now they need years to save money to buy a house with a smaller plot area. This study aims to study the level of housing affordability in Bekasi City based on current property prices. This study uses a quantitative descriptive method with three stages of analysis, namely property price analysis based on location, purchasing power analysis, and affordability analysis of house prices in Bekasi City. For buildings area up to 60m2, the price ranges from 350 to 800 million rupiahs, while the house purchasing power is less than 2.5 million per month. This research shows that most of the residents of Bekasi City cannot afford housing prices not only because of high land prices but rather its location.

Abstract

Natural disasters are one of the things that have risks and hazards to the population. This study aims to simulate the flood hazard and calculate its impact on the Hitoyoshi area, Japan residential areas. Hitoyoshi was chosen as the case study because the area experienced a catastrophic flood in 2020 that destroyed the city. The calculation of the impact of this study is also based on mapping the area based on land function, damage to buildings, and building materials, especially in areas affected by floods in the city of Hitoyoshi, Kumamoto. The results of this study indicate how much risk will be caused by flooding, especially in the Hitoyoshi area, with simulations carried out in ArcGIS software. In addition, the simulated hazard map is overlaid with buildings to determine the impact caused by the Hitoyoshi Area. This research aims to provide input for the Japanese institution in increasing the risk of natural disasters against floods, especially in the Hitoyoshi area, in dealing with future disasters. Simulations carried out in areas that have been affected by flooding by making a hazard map and validating it to prove the accuracy of the data are expected to be used and applied in several other countries besides Japan.

Abstract

Natural lighting is one aspect of ecological architecture to reduce energy use by utilizing sunlight as the main lighting. However, direct and excessive sunlight decreases the comfort level of room users because it can increase the room temperature and interfere with visualization. So it takes control of the distribution of sunlight into the room. In addition, the issue of environmental damage has become hot news among the community today, especially in the property sector, such as using materials that can damage the surrounding environment. Efforts to regulate the entry of sunlight into the room but not harm the surrounding environment, one of which is the application of second skin that utilizes environmentally friendly materials. This paper aims to determine the form and material of secondary skin that is environmentally friendly and suitable for use in resort hotels. This research uses a qualitative comparative method based on three objects in the form of secondary skin in the hotel resort building: Ananta Legian Hotel Bali, EcoSuites (A Reed-Clad Hotel Greece), and Lenora Hotel Bandung with variables namely opening, shape, and shading. For three secondary skin material objects in the resort hotel building, namely Amnaya Resort Kuta, Four Points by Sheraton Bali, and Potato Heads Studio Hotel Bali with variables namely shape, material, and aesthetics. Based on the results of the study, it was found that there are two types of second skin openings that are applied to the hotel resort building, namely dead openings and sliding openings that are applied to adjust the shape with the dominance of the modified rectangular base shape and the shadow produced from the second skin itself adjusts to the function of the shaded space. Environmentally friendly materials used are made from nature, such as vegetation, wood, and roaster bricks that do not damage the surrounding environment, which are applied in a modified rectangular base shape and can improve the aesthetics of the building.
