Abstract

Coastal areas are increasingly under pressure from various activities and natural phenomena. The construction of the Holtekamp Bridge in Jayapura has made Holtekamp Beach increasingly attractive as a trade and service area. However, these activities also increase the risk of disasters and affect the community's preparedness to deal with disasters. This article is the result of a descriptive qualitative study showing that the construction of the bridge has influenced the level of disaster mitigation both structural and non-structural at Holtekamp Beach. The novelty of this research article is to explore disaster mitigation in a coastal area in which settlement and business areas grow simultaneously. However, the existing mitigation measures are still uneven between the coastal area and the commercial area at Holtekamp Beach. Therefore, Holtekamp Beach needs to enhance disaster mitigation measures that are responsive to the area as a commercia

Abstract

This research investigates the intersection between geography, urban development, and heritage preservation in Lahat Regency, South Sumatra, Indonesia, using Lubuk Sepang and Bangke villages as case studies. Lubuk Sepang's river proximity and Bangke's mountainous terrain distinctly influence settlement patterns, heritage conservation challenges, and developmental pressures. Employing a mixed-methods approach—including fieldwork, geospatial mapping—the study identifies how geographical features impact heritage sites, community dynamics, and conservation strategies amid rapid urbanization. The findings highlight that settlements near rivers face threats from infrastructure expansion, erosion, and environmental degradation, risking loss of cultural heritage linked closely to water resources. In contrast, mountainous settlements struggle with deforestation, landslides, and infrastructural encroachment, threatening ecological integrity and traditional heritage. Effective heritage conservation necessitates integrating geographical considerations into urban planning, adopting technological innovations such as GIS (Geographic Information System) and digital archiving, and fostering active community participation. The study provides actionable recommendations to harmonize urban growth and heritage preservation in geographically diverse areas.

Abstract

The Gayonese, an ethnic group indigenous to the highland regions of Aceh, are distinguished by their rich cultural heritage. Their cultural patrimony is characterized by a diversity of artistic expressions, including ornamental designs that embody the community's local wisdom and cultural identity. Takengon, the most vibrant town in Aceh's highland region, is home to numerous public buildings, including governmental, religious, educational, hospitality, and other service facilities, which incorporate ornamental elements as expressions of local wisdom. However, the application of these ornaments varies significantly by placement, symbolism, and color due to the absence of standardized guidelines for their implementation in public architecture. The main objectives of this research are twofold. Firstly, to examine the prevailing patterns of ornamentation in public buildings from a semiotic perspective. Secondly, grouping in local wisdom to develop a comprehensive framework for the systematic integration of ornamentation within Takengon's architectural landscape. This research employs a qualitative approach with semiotic analysis to interpret the visual symbols and meanings of ornamentation in public buildings, aiming to reveal the cultural and symbolic values embedded within. The methods of data collection employed involve the observation of ten public buildings, documenting, and interviewing informants. The informants in this research were government officials, cultural or community leaders, building consultants, and academics. The findings reveal the placement of ornamentation typically occurs in three main zones: the head, body, and base of the building. In terms of ornament typology, natural motifs are predominant, surpassing geometric and floral patterns, with no representations of fauna identified among the ten sampled buildings. Ornamentation in Takengon's public buildings primarily serves a decorative purpose, classified as applied ornamentation, rather than fulfilling structural or constructive functions. The contribution of this research lies in its enrichment of the discourse on cultural identity in the built environment, particularly in relation to ornamentation.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate how the elderly respond to disaster situations involving volcanic eruptions in Indonesia. The study was conducted at the Tresna Werdha Social Service Center (Balai Pelayanan Sosial Tresna Werdha—BPSTW) in Pakembinangun, located 14 km from the summit of Mount Merapi, the most active volcano in Indonesia. This research applied an in-depth analysis of the behavior settings of vulnerable elderly groups using a deductive-qualitative research method. The data collection methods included observation, behavior mapping, time budgeting, and interviews. The research results include the formulation of standard behavior patterns of the elderly in responding to the potential for volcanic eruptions, particularly at BPSTW: 1) Comfort and safety are obtained from rooms/lodgings that have high accessibility and visibility (close to exits and close to assembly areas); 2) Elderly individuals with total physical disabilities and severe mental impairments require assistance for emergency response activities, necessitating quick connectivity in terms of accessibility and visibility for caregivers and other elderly individuals (mutual assistance); 3) Agreement on the division of roles and responsibilities between managers and the elderly in emergency response activities (formation of an emergency response team; regular disaster mitigation training). These behavioral settings can contribute to the basic knowledge of inclusive design, particularly for vulnerable elderly groups in responding to specific conditions related to volcanic eruption disasters.

Abstract

The development of technology and the demand for sustainability encourage the importance of applying green architecture principles in office buildings. The implementation of green architecture principles in government office buildings often encounters challenges such as limited stakeholder awareness, budget constraints, and the absence of passive design strategies that optimize natural resources. These conditions highlight the urgency of exploring design interventions that balance energy efficiency, user comfort, and sustainability. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of using secondary skin in improving daylighting in the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) of Salatiga City. The approach used is a green architecture approach with a focus on energy efficiency and the visual comfort of space users. The research method includes analyzing the existing conditions and redesigning the facade using secondary skin elements based on daylighting simulation through DIALux Evo, Revit, and EDGE App software. Simulations were conducted on several main workspaces to compare the value of light intensity between the existing conditions and the redesign results. A comparative simulation between DIALux Evo 13.0 and Autodesk Revit revealed consistent daylight distribution patterns, confirming the effectiveness of a 90° vertical secondary skin configuration. The EDGE Application 2.1.5 analysis indicated potential energy savings of 55.32% in redesigned conditions, highlighting the secondary skin's role in reducing artificial lighting dependency and contributing to the overall building's energy efficiency. The results show that the application of secondary skin can improve the even distribution of natural light and reduce dependence on artificial lighting. In addition, the proposed redesign contributes to achieving energy efficiency principles and improving workspace quality. This research is expected to serve as a reference for the application of sustainable passive design in government agency buildings in tropical areas.

Abstract

This study addresses the increasing prevalence of informal learning activities and the corresponding demand for public places within academic environments that effectively afford the work-ability function. The research specifically investigates how students at Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember, Surabaya, utilize various public places—originally not intended as workspaces—to support their academic tasks. Focusing on six locations (Canteen, Mosque, Plaza, Library (office), and Dormitory Hall), the study explores the phenomenon of students affording workrelated activities in unconventional settings. The research employs qualitative observation methods, dismantling the theory of affordance through three analytical lenses: Architectural Structure, User Interpretation, and Behavior Response. These components allow for an in-depth understanding of how spatial conditions contribute to user adaptability. Data collected from on-site observations were further analyzed using the Sorensen Similarity Coefficient, generating a similarity index within the range of >0 to ≤1. An index value above 0.500 is considered indicative of a significant link between specific architectural elements and affording work-ability. Findings reveal that students afford work-ability through: (1) the adaptation of multipurpose architectural structures, (2) the effective use of expansive floor areas with open layouts, (3) engagement with accessible and userfriendly environments that enable flexible use, and (4) reliance on adequate shading systems as part of the enclosure elements. These insights contribute to the evolving discourse on responsive campus design, emphasizing the need for spatial adaptability that reflects actual user behavior beyond predefined functional intentions.

Abstract

Playing outdoors at school provides children with opportunities to understand and engage with their spatial surroundings, shaping their cognitive awareness of the school environment. In Indonesian public elementary schools, outdoor areas are expected to support both educational and recreational functions; however, their actual use during recess remains underexplored. This study investigated how children used outdoor school spaces for play during recess at SDN Gondolayu, Yogyakarta, using place-centered behavior mapping complemented by a children’s perception survey. From 172 observed activity groups, non-play activities constituted the largest proportion of recess use, followed by restorative play, indicating limited engagement in active play. Boys used outdoor spaces more frequently than girls and showed different play tendencies, while age differences between lower (Grades 1–3) and upper (Grades 4–6) groups were minor. Spatial analysis revealed that children predominantly occupied corridors, edges, and other in-between areas that were flexible and loosely programmed rather than formal courts. Survey responses further indicated higher enjoyment in socially interactive and expressive forms of play. The predominance of non-play activities across locations suggests that several parts of the school environment were unable to support diverse play opportunities. In the absence of dedicated playgrounds and varied environmental features, children used transitional and semi-enclosed spaces that offered enclosure, proximity to peers, and opportunities for engagement. These settings enabled both refuge and social interaction within the same spatial field, indicating that children’s play experiences were shaped by the combined spatial qualities of school environments rather than by isolated features or equipment alone. These findings highlight how the spatial characteristics of school environments shape children’s play behavior and experiences. Understanding children’s interactions with informal and transitional outdoor settings can inform schoolyard design strategies that support more diverse and engaging play opportunities in primary school settings.

Abstract

Indonesia has a lot of heritage buildings that are either damaged or facing design changes. Those damage and design changes transformed the original spatial quality inside the building and erased a part of the history. Simulation methods have the potential to replicate the lost spatial quality and comfort. Therefore, this study aims to test the potential of utilizing BIM and simulation software in digital conservation with Blenduk Church in Semarang as the case study. The data was collected through direct field measurement to obtain the dimension and daylight intensity of Blenduk Church. The data was used to create 3D models of Blenduk Church, the old design and the current design, utilizing Rhino and Autodesk Revit. The 3D models are simulated with DiaLUX to find the daylight intensity and the microclimate surrounding the building. The data validation process includes comparing both data that was obtained through direct measurement and simulation, then calculated the standard deviation. By doing the data validation, it was found out that the standard deviation is 2,8%, which indicates that the simulation software is relevant to be utilized as a tool for digital revitalization as the deviation is still within the acceptable tolerance limits. This research demonstrates that CAD, BIM, and architectural simulation technologies can be used to document the space quality of heritage buildings that have been altered or demolished. This research could contribute as a blueprint to digital conservation that is not limited to recreating 3D model, but also continuous research of the missing space qualities.

Abstract

This study aims to demonstrate a design transformation that demonstrates symbiotic relationship between built-form and nature with the overarching objective of fostering ecological sustainability in the emerging post-Anthropocene epoch. This study can be considered as a direct response to current architectural paradigms that predominantly prioritize human needs and requirements, often at the expense of environmental well-being. Most of our built environment stands on the modes of resource extraction and consumption, frequently relying on finite, non-renewable materials, generating substantial pollutants that disrupt delicate ecological equilibrium. This study begins by exploring the idea of symbiotic between architecture and nature in current design discourse. The exploratory design study follows by establishing potential natural elements that can be accommodated within built-form as living systems. The study identifies three specific roles in the environment as part of the symbiotic programming, which are to feed, to fuel, and to heal. This speculative study further develops architecture proposition as a form of artificial nature through connections of these different programs. By exploring mutually beneficial symbiotic relationships between built-form and natural elements, the study found that artificial nature can create interdependent outputs, where outcomes from feeding can be used for either healing or fueling, and vice versa. This study highlights the need to create architecture that transforms and unfolds as open and collaborative systems. Such discussion informs a systemic form of architecture, where its spatiality enables growth of biological organisms that metabolize the spatial process and its surroundings.

Abstract

This study examines the potential of computational thinking principles as an approach in architectural form explorations. This study proposes an alternative perspective in the computational design approach, which often emphasizes automation and optimization in problem-solving processes. Current research and discussion in computational design also tend to focus on algorithms as the main idea, overlooking other computational thinking principles. Using House IV—designed by Peter Eisenman—as a case, this study seeks to examine the possibilities of implementing computational thinking principles in a speculative form-making process. House IV was selected due to two main aspects related to its design process: 1) the involvement of rules and procedures, and; 2) the focus on architectural formal exploration instead of program. The processes consist of an analytical and a generative phase. Analytical phases employ three computational thinking principles—decomposition, pattern recognition, and generalization/abstraction—to deconstruct and identify the essential parts and underlying set of rules from House IV. The generative phase utilizes understanding from analysis – in the form of generalized rules – to build an algorithm to reconstruct variations of forms. This approach open possibilities for exploration/speculation of new or unique formal iterations while keeping the character and aesthetic quality of the House IV. Reflection on the processes highlights the importance of explorative analysis and structured speculation in architectural design methods. The findings show the importance of explorative aspect in the analytical phase, along with traceability and explicitness in generative phase of design process. This study proposes a more holistic implementation of computational thinking principles in speculative form-making exploration. This study solely focuses on architectural form exploration, without any consideration for other elements such as space, context and program/function.
