Abstract
The awareness of the negative effect of the intensive usage of synthetic material has led to a significant phenomenon in recent global development. Moving forward to become a fully ready developed country, Indonesia shall move toward a more sustainable architecture for presenting a greener environment. Despite blessed with a distinctive collection of tropical material variants, reflected in its vernacular architecture, advanced material development must be invented to promote more progressive architecture in Indonesia. This research illustrates a new perspective regarding biodegradable material concepts for future Indonesian sustainable architecture. It is produced by respecting local and global development trends by using a bibliographic coupling and experimental methods in the laboratory to contribute to Indonesian sustainable architecture. A retrospective is aimed to highlight Indonesian biodegradable material and Indonesian vernacular architecture potency; it is presented as follows; (1) Understanding local–global trends in biodegradable architecture; (2) Indonesian potency on biodegradable materials; (3) A biodegradable material concept as an alternative perspective for Indonesian sustainable architecture. As a result, a new concept is proposed as an alternative for developing Indonesian biodegradable building materials. A more profound sustainable architecture is expected to engage local craftsmanship while highlighting unique biodegradable materials easily found in the surrounding environment, such as Indonesian Kombucha Tea and Indonesian Coffee.
Highlights
The global phenomenon has been questioning the notion of sustainability towards a greener environment
Notwithstanding, Indonesia must consider the development of the green building as one of the topmost priorities for ensuring a more sustainable impact to the whole country; by producing its own local biodegradable building material followed by a green label
Understanding local–global trends in biodegradable architecture More researchers and designers around the world are currently engaged in nature-inspired objects; whether it is developed as a method, form, structure, and even function
Summary
The global phenomenon has been questioning the notion of sustainability towards a greener environment. The natural material is essential to be applied as the smallest unit cell of a building to construct a comprehensive sustainable architecture (Mittal and Dogne 2016). Lianto et al City Territ Archit (2021) 8:13 branding, citizen appreciation, and other added values (Krzemińska et al 2017). This implementation may be considered necessary in developing countries, including those in the transition,s budget and lower intellectual levels (Sassi 2006). Notwithstanding, Indonesia must consider the development of the green building as one of the topmost priorities for ensuring a more sustainable impact to the whole country; by producing its own local biodegradable building material followed by a green label
