Abstract

The design concept for the Kotabaru area was designed to resemble the hometown of the Dutch, as if the area had become a second hometown for the Dutch who lived in Yogyakarta during the colonial period. Kotabaru was formerly called Nieuwe Wijk, designed with the Garden City concept by a Dutch architect named Thomas Karsteen. The research aims to analyze the dimensions of urban design in the cultural heritage area in Kotabaru Yogyakarta. This area has very important socio-cultural values and is part of a city identity. However, the growth and changes in urbanization have had an impact on the quality of urban planning. The research method used is descriptive qualitative. Data were collected through field observations, documentation studies, and interviews. The research location is in Kotabaru Yogyakarta, focusing on cultural heritage areas and historic buildings. The analysis includes elements of architecture, spatial planning, land use, regional zoning, and relations with local socio-culture. The research results reveal dimensions of city design, including morphological dimensions, social dimensions, perceptual dimensions, visual dimensions, functional dimensions, temporal dimensions related to elements in the Kotabaru Yogyakarta cultural heritage area.

Abstract

Boarding houses, as a type of substitute residence, function not only to ensure the continuity of daily domestic activities, but also as a comfortable learning place for students as residents. The Multimodal learning methods, which is used in architectural studio learning, through design simulations making study mock-ups, requires the use of more than one strategy in the learning process. Because it requires a different concentration compared to unimodal students, learning privacy is not only needed for individual learning process, but also needed for group learning study activities. This research explores the privacy mechanism that occurs in boarding rooms as private workspaces for architecture students. Phenomenological qualitative methods are used, with data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and documents readings. The results of the study show that architecture students tend to organize to optimize space by modifying the spatial attributes. This is executed to provide the widest possible space for learning privacy, so that it’s multimodal learning activities could run as optimally as possible.

Abstract

Urbanization, characterized by dense populations and demanding lifestyles, necessitates a commensurate emphasis on urban planning that prioritizes livability. Green spaces, particularly urban parks, are fundamental to this endeavor, serving as vital counterpoints to the built environment and fostering social interaction while promoting well-being. This study investigates Ulin Urban Park in Kutai Kartanegara Regency, East Kalimantan, a region grappling with mental health challenges, including instances of suicide linked to depression, some occurring within the park itself. Recognizing the crucial role of accessible and well-designed green spaces in mitigating such issues, this research employs an evaluative mapping approach to analyze the park's landscape elements. By assessing the availability and quality of these elements against established standards and suitability indicators, the study aims to identify areas for improvement in Ulin Urban Park's design and infrastructure. Field observation through photo taking was done to collect the existing condition of the park’s landscape elements in supporting users’ activities. The findings highlight specific areas where the park's soft and hard character elements, furniture, circulation, utilities, microclimate, and management of noise and odor require improvement and attention. The diversity of vegetation that enhances biodiversity could improve the attractiveness, while the quality of seating areas and other structures will improve comfort and aesthetic appeal. Such improvement in the pathways for both segments will also support the flow and accessibility.

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.
