Abstract

Whether granaries in traditional communities have survived or being neglected due to modern progress has been widely discussed. However, the discussion remains fragmented and isolated solely on the granary itself, without considering the possibility of its more comprehensive relations. This paper aims to delve into the granary roles in Karampuang, a traditional village in South Sulawesi, to understand how the granary (in the local term 'rekeang') functions and sustains while facing modernization. The inquiry focuses on the interactions between rekeang and farming products, which further results in an understanding of interrelationships between rekeang and its surroundings: 1) domestic spaces, 2) family house units, and 3) with other rekeangs. Each relationship reveals that rekeang has a vital role, besides storing up farming products, it also serves as the key to sustaining the community, especially in cultural and ecological contexts. In the end, the paper proposes a critical insight of 'granary as a network,' which might provide an alternative approach to achieve sustainable development in traditional environments.

Abstract

Contemporary architects highlight past ideas and present new manifestos often perceived as utopian. Bjarke Ingels introduced hedonistic sustainability in response to the demand for environmentally friendly and sustainable living through different perspectives. This paper comprehensively explains the concept of hedonistic sustainability through the designs of Bjarke Ingels, a contemporary architect. Literature from various sources is examined to describe Bjarke Ingels' idea. Hedonistic sustainability combines sustainable ideas, fun, and community. Bjarke Ingels's architectural design is applied through simulation and an ironic approach. Its representation facilitates the exploration of the design objects planned concretely. The idea of playful and communality was raised through the design that accommodates various user activities. Bjarke Ingels's idea is expected to contribute to the knowledge and contemporary architecture design process in Indonesia. © 2020 Nita Dwi Estika, Yudhistira Kusuma, Dewi Retno Prameswari, Iwan Sudradjat

Abstract

Sacredness in Catholic churches has two aspects: sacredness derived from the purpose and activities of worship and sacredness that arises from the physical and spatial aspects of a church building. The purpose of this study was to reveal factors that affect sacredness in Catholic churches from the perspective of the worshiper. The researchers conducted an exploratory qualitative research to collect text data related to the perception of Catholic church sacredness. The data were collected through an online questionnaire. The researchers also conducted an explanatory quantitative research to uncover the relationship between level of church sacredness and physical and nonphysical factors. The results showed that the ‘sacred spirit’ factor tends to be more dominant in affecting church sacredness compared to ‘sacred object’. Worshipers measure church sacredness according to ‘devoted reflection’, ‘relationship with God’, ‘quality of space’, ‘enclosure acculturation’, and ‘building style’.
