Abstract

Earthquake is a natural phenomenon occurs in Indonesia. Naturally, earthquake does not kill people, but buildings do. People were killed by the fallen debris of building parts when earthquake occurred. The key to create an entire building lies on the joint system which is why most of building failures occurred on the joint system. Prawiro et all (2010) stated that G-Feet Structural Joint System is the future alternative reversible structural joint system designed based on gecko’s feet concept. The research by Andari et all (2011) found that the joint system was optimum in shear stresses which were mostly created by lateral forces of earthquake. The idea was more lateral forces would lead the joint system to become stickier. Sticky brushes refer to the ability of joint system to easily stick and become strong enough receiving 10 tons/m² load. This can be happened due to the geometry of sticky brushes which are becoming the locking system of the joint system. Therefore, G-Feet Sticky house is supposed to be a new concept of post earthquake houses for the victims. Material selection and 3D computer modelling were used for the final design of G-Feet Sticky Houses to be safely and easily to install. The design is supposed to be useful and helpful especially for the victims as temporary houses which can be modified as the permanent one. The big wall panels are designed for faster construction processwhile the joint system combines the ability of sticky brushes and the geometry of wall panel edge detail.

Abstract

Historical interpretation on the site of cultural heritage as a series of signs could be used as a channel for creativity in architectural design. History was a subjective interpretation from personal view that had been documented or published to the public. This thesis is looking for the narratives that had been presented within former Koblen Prison as a specific case study so it could be used to produce design criterias for the new facilities. The brief research process was involving document findings, site exploration, and evidence gathering. After all related evidences have been collected, the next activity was a critical analysis of the story with logical argumentation. Categorization should be done to simplify the complexities that arise so that it can be applied appropriately to the architectural expression. Each category was then studied based on signs according to Peirce's trichotomy so that may explain the relation of meaning that emerged from the the observer’s point of view. Peirce’s approach was in a semiotics discourse that had different scope from architecture discourses but it would be useful for understanding the meaning and their connections. The stories that appear on the site consists of three main stories. The stories include the story of the struggle for independence, the story of prison life, and the story of architectural transition. Museum was the new facility that was expected to be the solution to the problem of abandoned cultural heritage sites in the former Koblen Prison in Surabaya. The main result of the research was a museum design study that communicates with the observer about the site’s pasts and respects the site’s contexts through architectural expressions.

Abstract

Rumah Sederhana Sehat means adequate and affordable homes in safe and healthy environment. Its presence must be supported by public infrastructures, facilities, and utilities in sustainable manner. This study aims to ensure that the provision of infra-structures, facilities, and utilities in housing not only creates the housing feasibility, but also livability. Kabupaten Sidoarjo is selected as study sites, because it has not had regulations regarding the provision of infrastructures, facilities, and utilities in the housing yet. This study uses a livable city theoretical approach as the main refe-rence. The study is a qualitative study, with post-positivist approach that used to assess the object of this study not only the empirical facts, but also the social life that occur within it. The method of this study is comparison case studies method. It is used to find the influence of housing and infrastructures, facilities, and utilities physical condition towards resident’s psychological condition. The approach to the livable theory covers all aspects of the housing towards sustainable living. The results of this study are the livability concept of infrastructures, facilities, and utilities provision in adequate housing. Feasibility of infrastructures, facilities, and utilities on housing is not only making better neighborhoods, but also the welfare of the residents.

Abstract

When landscape becomes the work of art, it is becoming more significant to the community. However, finding practical and effective ways in which public art could present an environmental cause is yet to be fully explored. Therefore, one way to approach this issue is by increasing the Vertical Greenery technology's application, especially at the wall of building in the city. Vertical Greenery (VG) varies in term of definition, but all in all, it can be interpreted as the growing of plants in, up, or against the facade of a building. On the other hand, public art can be referred as an artwork that is located in public space, which welcomes public interactions. Thus, in order to further study the potential of VG implementation as public art, this paper reviews 25 selected real life projects in urban Malaysia as reference studies, which include Kuala Lumpur, Selangor Johor and Penang that applied VG in their development. It explored whether the VG’s implemented is, for public art. Based on the study, the researcher found that VG is implemented for its environmental, economic and aesthetic value. The researcher also noted that all VG that has been implemented at the developments in some ways portray the basic idea of public art which is an artistic expression that is positioned in a freely accessed public space for the public to use, but not just any art placed outside yet still carries the basic concept of art, which to beautify spaces. Hence, the result had shown significant potentials for VG to be introduced as a new form of sustainable public art in urban Malaysia.

Abstract

Most material on a “Green Concept” for addressing the environmental, social, cultural and institutional issues resulting from global warming and climate change through the implementation of architecture and environmental design usually starts with the “big” picture, policy/theoretical statement. And then migrates towards the “specific design” criteria. However, there is a problem with this approach and experience questions whether it adequately or often appropriately connects with practice as it migrates?The paper revisits a community in Port au Prince Haiti that received gabion houses constructed as part of the response to the 12 January 2010 earthquake. The gabion house was perceived within the humanitarian shelter community as an excellent green concept because it reused rubble, could be built using local skills and was economical comparable to other options. Thus, the question posed to the community after nearly 2 years of living in these gabion houses was whether the houses were more effective than the “standard” house? And from that reflective process are taken design tips for possibly a more humane and Greener Concept.

Abstract

This paper considers the vulnerabilities experienced in making a living as a street trader in Lagos, Nigeria. Using the Tejuosho - Yaba - Ojuelegba - Barracks quadrant as a case study, the paper investigates the socio-economic profile of street traders, their basic survival strategies and goes further to examine the interface between street vendors and related urban stakeholders. Relying on both qualitative (informed participant interviews) and quantitative (survey by purposive sampling) data analysis, the study revealed that most of the respondents were aged between 16 and 35 years old and operated subsistence enterprises which were begun due to unemployment and the high cost of the renting stalls at the nearby Yaba market. The major challenge experienced was the institutionalized harassment by KAI officials, which aided extortion by other local stakeholders. The paper concludes by highlighting the potentials of the informal economic sector and the strategic role it plays in the emerging African city form.

Abstract

As the world’s issue of global warming, built environment has to be designed to reduce global warming effects such as urban heat island. A large building coverage with small amount of vegetation tends to have urban heat island effect. Some urban housing have typical spatial character that trigger urban heat island effect. Some physical aspects give wide contribution to urban heat island effects, such as space configuration, vegetation and land coverage. The influences of these aspects can be observed by simulating the aspects. As the heritage preservation region, some urban housing such as Kauman Jogjakarta can’t be redesigned by changing its main buildings. Therefore, space configuration changing in a simulation can help to know the influence of space configuration type to thermal comfort of the region. Choosing the right material type to cover the soil will give a good contribution to reduce temperature. The presence of vegetation with various types can reduce heat expose to the areas. Some types of vegetation give a big contribution to reduce temperature. As the material study, choosing the right type of vegetation can reduce temperature and increase microclimate comfort. Areas with high density leafs plants give better contribution to microclimate comfort. High dense leaf plants in existing area were planted with certain pattern. The existing space configuration as perpendicular circulation pattern gives better microclimate condition than random pattern. There are some aspects to reduce the urban heat island effect in urban housing by controlling urban housing space on three main aspect: land coverage, vegetation and space configuration.

Abstract

Architecture is one of human works that consumed a lot of energy. Present research shows  that architecture consumed more than 50% of total energy in the world. That is why awareness of sustainability issues become prominent issues among architects, architecture students and academics. Practically sustainability concept is not some thing new for some countries. Traditional settlements used similar concept to sustainability concept, for example Bali Aga settlement. The settlement showed  how the community used the concept as tradition and way of their life.The Bali Aga architecture was developed between 9 to-11 AD and mostly located in the highland or the mountain of Bali. The word “Aga” is used to distinguish the highland settlements from the rest of traditional settlements of Bali which mainly located in the down line of Bali, particularly in the southern Bali. Bali Aga settlements are located mostly in eastern and northern Bali. The village of Tenganan is the prime example of the genre, and for this discourse, the research site was Julah village in Buleleng Regency. This village is located on the northern part of Bali.Referring to Bali Aga’s traditions and customs, the community recognized the relationship between the people and the environment. Bali Aga architecture shows the expression of their tradition that keep the environment sustained. This paper will discuss about tradition of Bali Aga community and how they articulated through their architecture. The aims of this study are to increase the awareness of modern soceity on sustainability issues and learned from tradition of Bali Aga community how to keep environment friendly.

Abstract

Kampung Surabayan is one of old kampungs in Surabaya, Indonesia, that has some potentials which can be developed as a sustainable kampung by balancing the environmental, socio-cultural, and economic aspects. In environmental aspect, Kampung Surabayan already has a good management based on various achievements from Green and Clean Competition (an eco-friendly settlement competition) and Safe Kampung Competition which held by Surabaya Government. The historical potential and cultural heritage, cooperative kampung’s residents, unique “kampung” traditions such as "cangkruk" or “free chattering” and "adu doro" or “pigeon racing”, carry social and culture values. Also, the green economy values that come from the resident’s creativity to manage domestic garbages into unique and valuable handicrafts.One aspect that still be left behind is heritage conservation. As an old kampung, Kampung Surabayan should be conserved in order to keep the authenticity of Kampung’s heritage. The potentials of Kampung Surabayan can be integrated by Heritage Tourism Concept to create a sustainable kampung heritage.

Abstract

There is now overwhelming evidence that global warming is taking place, but the impacts on the built environment are less effectively documented. Similarly, climate instability is an additional factor in increasing movement of rural populations to ur-ban centres. Inadequate living conditions in rural areas are also recognised as key components in encouraging such migration – hence efforts to create improved rural housing which is sustainable, affordable and desirable is a fundamental challenge. The Ethiopian Institute of Architecture, Building Construction and City Development (EiABC) at Addis Ababa University is committed to developing research and practice into ways of planning and designing housing and settlements to make them more responsive to both to climatic instability and the challenging socio-economic circumstances of Ethiopia. This paper reports on an on-going experimental sustainable rural housing project which is working with local communities to improve traditional vernacular housing through a range of innovative technologies and practices. Following detailed research into local construction technologies and lifestyles, full size prototypes were constructed to explore the positive elements of vernacular architecture within the framework of sustainability, and to test both the technologies and response of residents. This project is one of several live construction projects in the university which is also developing proposals for urban communities. These innovative projects are analysed in the context of climate change responses and sustainable development paradigms.
