Authors:Darmansjah Tjahja Prakasa, Bambang Soemardiono, Ima Defiana 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. PubDate: 2022-10-31 Issue No:Vol. 21 (2022)
Authors:Ima Rahmawati Sushanti, Purwanita Setijanti, Dewi Septanti 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.

Authors:Pandhu Putra Pratama, Arina Hayati, Asri Dinapradipta 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. PubDate: 2022-10-31 Issue No:Vol. 21 (2022)
Authors:Wendy Sunarya, Heru Subiyantoro, Yusvika Ratri Harmunisa, Rizka Tiara Maharani 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.

Authors:Ferry Gunawan, Yandi Andri Yatmo, Paramita Atmodiwirjo 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. PubDate: 2022-10-31 Issue No:Vol. 21 (2022)
Authors:Asma Rosyidah, Salma Nur Afifah, Shalim Tehupelasury, Agustinus Adib Abadi 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. PubDate: 2022-10-31 Issue No:Vol. 21 (2022)
Authors:Arbi Surya Satria Ridwan, Riken Homma, Hang Liu 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.
