Unveiling the Significance of Gedung Sate Architecture within the Context of Sustainable Cultural Tourism
One of the iconic historical buildings in Bandung, Indonesia, known as Gedung Sate, represents a unique architectural fusion of European and local styles. As a significant cultural landmark and a major tourist destination, its preservation and management are paramount. This study aims to analyze the cultural significance of Gedung Sate's architecture and to evaluate its role within the framework of sustainable cultural tourism. This research employed a qualitative case study approach, utilizing architectural observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentary analysis. The analysis is guided by the cultural significance framework of the ICOMOS Burra Charter and supplemented by conceptual models of tourism impact. The findings reveal that Gedung Sate's significance is dualistic, derived from its value as both a colonial aesthetic masterpiece and a symbol of post-colonial national struggle. Furthermore, while tourism numbers appear sustainable, the analysis exposes significant vulnerabilities in the building's physical carrying capacity and socio-economic benefits. The novelty of this study lies in its application of the Burra Charter to a prominent Indonesian heritage site and its structured, critical evaluation of sustainable tourism that moves beyond simplistic metrics. This research contributes to the discourse on heritage management, offering insights for balancing preservation and tourism at similar sites.

Balancing Heritage in Urban Expansion: Gedung Sate’s Resilience towards a JunkSpace Landscape
This paper argues that the vertical stratification of formal, informal, and historical layers in Bandung contributes to the emergence of Junkspace, particularly around Gedung Sate, a heritage government building embedded in a rapidly urbanizing context. Drawing on Koolhaas’ concept of Junkspace and theories of spatial heterogeneity, the research explores how informal peripheries intersect with formal urban growth, creating porous hybrid spaces that defy conventional spatial order. Through qualitative spatial analysis, street-level observations, and time-lapse figure-ground studies from 2017 to 2025, the study reveals that informal structures adapt to, rather than displace, formal ones. This coexistence generates architectural incoherence marked by non-hierarchical, fused uses. The findings suggest that Gedung Sate is evolving into a form of Junkspace not merely through the erosion of spatial order but through active transformations that blend historical permanence with dynamic informal encroachments, reflecting the complex and layered realities of contemporary Bandung.

Optimization of Louvre Façade for Thermal Comfort and Daylighting in Office Units in Surabaya
This study explores the optimization of louvre facade configurations for west-facing office units in Surabaya’s tropical climate, focusing on enhancing thermal comfort and daylighting performance. Using generative design integrated with Rhinoceros, Grasshopper, Honeybee, and Ladybug, various louvre angles and spacing combinations were simulated and analyzed based on key metrics: Glare Autonomy (GA), Illuminance, and Thermal Comfort Percentage (TCP). Results show that configurations with steeper angles (45°–60°) and tighter spacing (0.4–0.5 m) significantly reduce glare and heat gain, but at the expense of daylight availability. Conversely, flatter angles (0°–30°) increase natural light but compromise comfort. A 45° angle with 0.5 m spacing offers the most repetitive configuration, being able to achieve an average illuminance of 173 lux at 10:00, an average of 95% thermal comfort percentage, an average illuminance of 251 lux at 14:00, and an average glare autonomy of 92.86%, while using a configuration of spacing between 0.25 - 0.40 m and angle of 0° - 25° is also an alternative to achieve a balanced performance. The study highlights the potential of data-driven generative design in creating adaptive, energy-efficient facades suitable for tropical urban settings.

Learning Gaps in Structure and Construction Education in Architectural Programs: A Study of Student and Tutor Perceptions
Structure and construction form part of the technical backbone of any architecture degree, yet students consistently find them one of the hardest areas to engage with — particularly when they are expected to apply structural knowledge at the same time as they are still developing a design project in a parallel studio. This paper reports on a qualitative study conducted in Structure Studio III, a third-semester course at a private university in Bandung, Indonesia, that runs alongside Design Studio III. We collected open-ended questionnaire responses from 117 undergraduate students and 8 studio tutors, then analysed them using thematic analysis supported by frequency counts. Four recurring patterns emerged from the data: inadequate mastery of basic structural concepts (raised by 76.1% of students; confirmed by all tutors), persistent difficulties with technical drawing (70.1%; all tutors), the challenge of running a technical course in parallel with a design studio (63.2%; 87.5% of tutors), and a range of organisational constraints that limit how much learning can actually happen in a session (60.7%; 75% of tutors). Tutor responses also drew attention to something the existing literature has not examined: a significant step-up in demand between Structure Studio II and Structure Studio III that students are not adequately prepared for. Taken together, the findings point not to students lacking aptitude but to a series of structural misalignments in how the curriculum is sequenced and coordinated. We conclude with a proposed framework for staging competency development across the three structure courses and coordinating more deliberately with the design studio.

Pembacaan Ruang Kontradiktif sebagai Tantangan Perancangan Kota: Studi Kasus Kawasan Siola, Surabaya
Abstrak Dalam perencanaan ruang publik di kawasan cagar budaya, arsitek dan perencana umumnya lebih fokus pada aktivitas formal dan mengabaikan aktivitas informal. Aktivitas informal di ruang publik muncul tanpa perencanaan namun sejatinya dipicu oleh aktivitas formal yang dirancang. Fenomena ini membentuk suatu ritme ruang urban yang kontradiktif sehingga menghasilkan makna ruang publik yang ambigu. Penelitian ini mengkaji fenomena kontradiksi ruang sosial publik yang timbul akibat informalitas sebagai dampak revitalisasi kawasan cagar budaya dengan mengambil Kawasan Siola di Surabaya sebagai studi kasus. Studi dilakukan dengan menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif berdasarkan teori rhythmanalysis dari Lefebvre dengan metode wawancara dan observasi lapangan. Pembacaan ruang dilakukan dengan mengkaji lima variabel: elemen fisik dan non-fisik, jenis kegiatan, pola penggunaan ruang, objek pengisi ruang, serta dimensi waktu. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa aktivitas informal memiliki peran penting dalam pembentukan ruang kota. Informalitas menjadi elemen kunci dalam menanggapi dinamika ruang kontradiktif dan menjadi tantangan dalam pendekatan desain urban di kawasan perkotaan, khususnya kawasan cagar budaya. Abstract In the process of planning of public spaces within heritage areas, architects and planners tend to focus on formal activities while neglecting informal ones. Informal activities in public spaces usually emerge without prior planning; however, it may be triggered by the designed formal activities. This phenomenon generates a contradictory urban spatial rhythm, resulting in an ambiguous meaning of public space. This study examines the phenomenon of social space contradiction arising from informality as an impact of heritage area revitalisation, taking the Siola area in Surabaya as a case study. The research employs a qualitative approach based on Lefebvre’s theory of rhythmanalysis, using interviews and field observations. Spatial interpretation is conducted through five variables: physical and non-physical elements, types of activities, spatial use patterns, spatial objects, and temporal dimensions. The findings reveal that informal activities play a significant role in shaping urban space. Informality becomes a key element in responding to the dynamics of contradictory space and presents a challenge for urban design approaches, particularly in heritage areas.

Analisis Kualitatif Aksesibilitas Pengguna Kursi Roda di Hotel Pan Pacific Orchard
Accessibility for wheelchair users is a crucial aspect of inclusive hospitality facility design, especially in countries with an aging population such as Singapore. With 13.3% of the population aged over 50 in 2024 and a projected 28.6% by 2030, the need for accessible spaces is becoming increasingly urgent. This study employed a content analysis method with a descriptive approach, in which the architectural floor plan of the Pan Pacific Orchard Hotel was redrawn and overlaid against the accessibility standards set by the Building and Construction Authority. The evaluation focused on five key elements: safety, visual focal points, corridors, cores, and user well-being. The findings indicate that the hotel not only meets technical accessibility requirements but also successfully integrates aesthetic elements with safety functions. Reflectively, this study highlights how the application of universal design can contribute to the creation of inclusive, meaningful, and adaptive spatial experiences for users with limited mobility. As such, the hotel serves as a model of design that promotes sustainability and competitiveness in the global hospitality sector.

The Land is The Icon: Disappearing Architecture on Natural Force
This paper reimagines architectural landmarks within the hills of Labuan Bajo, proposing an approach where architecture seamlessly integrates with the landscape rather than asserting dominance. The study examines how design strategies can amplify rather than overshadow the natural environment, positioning nature as the true landmark through ephemeral architecture. Using Plowright’s force-based framework within an architectural competition, the research employs a research-by-design methodology to iteratively refine solutions that dissolve built interventions into the terrain. By integrating Labuan Bajo’s topographical and visual characteristics, the design leverages adaptive modularity and sustainable strategies to ensure perceptual fluidity within the site’s ecological and cultural context. This approach contributes to landmark design by demonstrating how architecture can function as a dynamic extension of the landscape, fostering harmony rather than visual competition.

Analysis of Contemporary Tall Building Design in Humid Tropics Using Yeang's Principles
Rapid urbanization in humid tropical climates has led to an increase in the construction of contemporary tall buildings due to population growth and land shortages, leading to an increasing number of tall building constructions in urban areas. However, these buildings face several challenges, such as climate, environmental impact, and excessive energy consumption. Integrating Yeang’s principles into tall buildings can overcome these challenges. This research explores the application of Yeang's principles to contemporary tall buildings in humid tropical climates, specifically considering sun path and wind rose projections. There are eight iconic contemporary tall buildings that were selected in humid tropical climates based on their public significance as case studies to analyze their building design and compare their implementation with Yeang's principles. Despite some buildings adhering to Yeang’s principles, there are several factors that influence the building’s design, leading to certain modifications. These adjustments impact the building’s form and structures. By looking at how design implementation compares to Yeang's principles, this study shows the challenges and opportunities of creating sustainable and adaptable tall buildings in humid tropical environments.
Spatial Configuration and Circulation Effectiveness in Mall @Alam Sutera, Tangerang
Modern shopping malls have become big, multi-story places where people go for more than just shopping, which makes it really important to design good movement between the different floors. While space syntax is widely used to analyze spatial layouts, there is limited empirical understanding of how linear spatial configurations specifically impact uneven visitor distribution across vertically stacked levels in Indonesian urban malls. This study investigates how spatial configuration impacts visitor circulation patterns using Mall @Alam Sutera as a case study. The research addresses a gap in understanding the relationship between spatial integration and circulation efficiency within a commercial environment. The method used in this research is simulation approach with DepthmapX software validated by field observations. The research analyzes spatial connectivity, integration, and intelligibility across four levels (LG, GF, 1F, and 2F). The results reveal a significant disparity: The Ground Floor (GF) serves as the most effective distribution hub due to superior integration and central visibility, whereas the Second Floor (2F) suffers from critical isolation with the lowest intelligibility (R2 < 0.50), directly correlating with observed low visitor traffic. These findings demonstrate that linear layouts require strong vertical integration mechanisms to activate upper levels. The study concludes by offering data-driven design strategies to resolve spatial segregation and enhance overall circulation efficiency in multi-level commercial environments. These findings contribute to the development of a more efficient and data-driven mall design, with a focus on improving circulation and visitor experience in commercial space.
Community Resilience After Disaster-Induced Relocation, The Case of Huntap Batur
This study discusses the correlation between post-relocation well-being of residents in Huntap Batur following the 2010 Merapi eruption. It also examines how communities can work together to strengthen their social well-being. The community has to have an occupation and positive perception, adjusted to the shift of settlement in a post-eruption environment. This research utilised a qualitative methods approach for data collection, combining questionnaires, interviews, and secondary data. Findings show that relocation shifted some residents’ occupations from agriculture to tourism or informal sectors. Community collaboration proved crucial in fostering resilience and inclusive development. By contrast, weaker collaboration was associated with less favorable outcomes. This study aims to identify the challenges, adaptation strategies, and supporting factors for the resettled community, decade following the eruption. It will contribute to a deeper understanding of how community-based approaches to relocation support resilience and sustainable development in disaster-prone areas.
Reducing Emissions through Low-Carbon and Biomaterials: The Case of Green Office Enjoy, Paris
Drastic transformation in the construction industry is required to achieve global net-zero targets while accommodating the continuing need to build to anticipate the growing population. With the increase implementation of energy efficient building, the significant of embodied carbon becomes higher. The use of biomaterial has great potential to reduce building emissions. This paper presents a case study that has been built with engineered timber components, and examines to what extent, a further reduction of embodied emissions can be performed. Three material replacements were proposed to further decarbonize the building emissions, and the embodied carbon reductions resulted by changing the timber specification and fly ash use in concrete mixture were assessed quantitatively with embodied carbon assessment. Results show that by replacing the building materials with lower carbon options, the embodied carbon of the case study can be reduced from 52 to 242 tons of CO2e or 2.82 to 12,99 kgCO2e/m2.

An Analysis of the Challenges to Achieving Sustainable Practices in Nigeria's Construction Sector
This study investigates the key barriers to the adoption of sustainable construction practices in Nigeria, focusing on regulatory, organizational, social, cultural, and technological factors. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, the research combines qualitative case studies and interviews with quantitative survey data to identify these challenges. The findings highlight the multifaceted and interconnected nature of these barriers, with regulatory challenges—such as outdated building codes, insufficient legislative support, and bureaucratic inefficiencies—emerging as the most significant. Social and cultural resistance to change, coupled with limited public awareness of sustainable construction benefits, further complicate adoption. Technological challenges, including high costs of green materials and a shortage of skilled professionals, are also key obstacles. The study suggests that Nigeria can draw valuable lessons from other developing countries, such as South Africa, India, and Indonesia, where similar challenges have been addressed through proactive policies and innovative practices. Recommendations for overcoming these barriers include modernizing building codes, strengthening leadership in sustainability within the construction sector, and launching comprehensive public education campaigns to shift societal attitudes. The study further advocates for increased investment in green technologies and the development of local supply chains to reduce costs and enhance the accessibility of sustainable construction materials. By adopting these strategies, Nigeria can promote sustainable building practices and contribute to global knowledge on overcoming barriers to sustainability in developing economies.
