Conservation Policy of Visual Quality in Connecting Area Between Historical Areas
Full text linkAlun-alun Contong, a historical area in Surabaya, connects popular historical areas via a tram line. Today, it features commercial buildings from the Dutch East Indies era, which is dominated by contemporary style. Therefore, historical appearances have become degraded and disconnected from their surrounding areas. Based on the case study, this research tries to construct specific historical conservation policies on connecting areas that have not been discussed before. The mixed method involves several tactics that involve two phases: assessment of the building facade element and serial vision analysis as an internal and external identification. The results show the visual quality condition and potential of an area between two historical areas as a modality of the Alun-alun Contong conservation policy. The research findings enable conservation policies to use this method at other locations to improve or restore connectivity, strengthen visual quality, and ensure the sustainability of the entire urban heritage area.

Cultural Resonance: Enhancing Heritage Identity of Spaces with Digital Engagement
Full text linkHeritage buildings serve as vital markers of cultural identity, historical continuity, and collective memory within the urban landscape. Yet in the context of accelerating urban development, many of these sites suffer from declining relevance, physical neglect, and weakening emotional connections with contemporary communities. This study explores the potential of digital placemaking as an innovative approach to revitalize the cultural significance and public engagement of heritage buildings. By integrating digital technologies with architectural space, digital placemaking reimagines these structures as interactive, inclusive, and emotionally resonant environments that bridge past and present. Employing a qualitative research methodology, this study draws from literature reviews, site analysis, community narratives, and design conceptualization to formulate a framework that supports the transformation of underutilized heritage sites into dynamic public spaces. The research highlights the importance of memory, identity, and cultural resonance as central components of revitalization efforts, proposing a layered approach that merges physical preservation with meaningful digital engagement. The outcomes of this study offer both theoretical and practical contributions to the fields of architectural design and heritage conservation, emphasizing the need for interdisciplinary, adaptive, and community-sensitive methods. This approach ensures that heritage buildings remain relevant, accessible, and culturally valuable in contemporary urban life
KAJIAN TRANSFORMASI RUANG BERSEJARAH MELALUI KONSEP ADAPTIVE REUSE DI DE TJOLOMADOE SURAKARTA
Full text linkAdaptive reuse merupakan pendekatan pemanfaatan kembali bangunan tua bersejarah terabaikan diubah fungsinya menjadi fungsi baru yang populer di berbagai negara, tak terkecuali di Indonesia. Surakarta, kota yang kaya akan sejarah, berupaya menerapkan konservasi dengan adaptive reuse, pada De Tjolomadoe. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi dan menganalisis implementasi konsep adaptive reuse pada bangunan bersejarah di Kota Surakarta, khususnya di Museum De Tjolomadoe. Metode penelitian kualitatif naratif digunakan untuk melihat perubahan fungsi dan struktur bangunan serta dampaknya terhadap transformasi sejarah dan warisan budaya. Penelitian ini melibatkan pengumpulan data melalui studi pustaka terkait teori adaptive reuse, observasi lapangan pada objek bangunan, analisis dokumentasi bangunan dan dokumen arsip terdahulu sebagai pembanding. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa setiap aspek arsitektur yang diteliti, yang terdiri dari bentuk, fasad, interior, material, dan struktur mengalami perubahan. Aspek bentuk, fasad, dan struktur juga mengalami perubahan yang tidak signifikan pada masing-masing empat dimensi dengan masih mempertahankan karakter dan poin-poin penting dari setiap bagian. Di sisi lain, variabel interior dan material merupakan bagian yang mengalami perubahan signifikan. Misalnya saja bagian besali, stasiun puteran, dan stasiun pengepakan yang berubah menjadi cafe dan hall. Merupakan ruang yang mengalami perubahan signifikan, bahkan sudah kehilangan karakteristik ruang tersebut sebagai tempat pengolahan gula. Di antara material tersebut, ada yang cukup kuat, terutama di area yang dekat dengan dan melekat pada pengolahan mesin, namun secara keseluruhan, material baru ini tidak terbatas pada apa yang terlihat pada sisi bangunan itu juga ada pada struktur utama bangunan yang sudah mengalami permabharuan dengan material-material baru.Adaptive reuse is an approach that repurposes abandoned historic buildings by transforming them into new functional spaces, a practice prevalent in various countries, including Indonesia. Surakarta, a rich historical city, strives to apply conservation through adaptive reuse, particularly at De Tjolomadoe. This study aims to identify and analyze the implementation of the adaptive reuse concept in historic buildings in Surakarta, specifically at the De Tjolomadoe Museum. A qualitative narrative research method is used to observe changes in the building's function and structure and their impact on the transformation of history and cultural heritage. Data collection involves literature reviews on adaptive reuse theory, field observations of the building, analysis of building documentation, and archival documents for comparison. The findings indicate that every architectural aspect studied changed, including form, facade, interior, material, and structure. The form, facade, and structure experienced minimal changes in the four dimensions, maintaining each part's character and key features. In contrast, the interior and material variables experienced significant changes. For instance, areas like the besali, spinning station, and packing station have been transformed into a cafe and hall, undergoing substantial changes that resulted in the loss of their original characteristics as sugar processing spaces. Among the materials, some remain strong, especially in areas close to and integrated with the processing machinery. However, the new materials are not limited to the building's visible parts but also include updates to the main structure with new materials

The Influence of High-Temperature and -Pressure Treatment on Physical Properties of Albizia falcataria Board
No full textAlbasia (Albizia falcataria), known as sengon wood, is a fast-growing tree species commonly found in Indonesian forests and community plantations. However, the low-density, hardness, and strength significantly restrict its commercial application. The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of densification on the physical properties of Albizia falcataria under high-temperature and -pressure. Different temperatures were applied to the Albizia falcataria board (100 °C, 120 °C, 140 °C, sandwich 140 °C). The densification process influences the density properties, color changes, thickness, compression ratio, equilibrium moisture content, and anatomical properties of the material. With this procedure, the density can be increased to 0.62 kg/L, a gain of approximately 112.78% over untreated wood. The density of wood increases, resulting in the decomposition of its chemical components, especially hemicellulose, which darkens the wood color and stabilizes equilibrium moisture control. As a result, the thermal compression modification treatment under high-temperature and -pressure is a highly effective method for enhancing the physical properties of fast-growing wood species, such as Albizia falcataria

No full textImplementing Fractal to Define Balinese Traditional Architectural Facade Beauty: The Kori Agung
No full textFractals have been theoretically used to explain visual beauty from the urban scale to the context of architectural facades. How we perceive the visual beauty of architecture is likely dependent on subjectivity. However, the fractal is applicable for defining visual beauty and as a quantifiable method that provides objectivity for analysis. Previous research has used fractals, particularly in facades, to determine the beauty in complex geometry and quantify the complexity. However, the application of fractals in traditional architecture remains to be explored. Therefore, this article will discuss in detail how fractal is a suitable method to study the visual beauty of traditional architectural facades using fractal geometry and fractal dimension index. The case used to illustrate the implementation is Kori Agung of Balinese traditional architecture, known for its grandeur and luxurious facade images. It embodies the visual beauty of its facade due to its textured, layered, and complex visual appearance
