Analisis Limbah Material Pekerjaan Arsitektural pada Pembangunan Perumahan Subsidi Di Kota Langsa

Abstract Residual construction material is defined as something that is more than what was planned, both from the results of the work and the remaining, damaged, or lost material so that it can no longer be used according to its intended purpose. From the results of observations that have been made in several subsidized housing locations in Langsa City, there are many leftover materials from architectural work, because of that it is necessary to do an analysis of the type of waste material, the causes of waste and waste prevention measures that are often carried out. The method in this study uses descriptive statistical methods using Kendall's W so that rankings are obtained for variables, types of waste material, factors that cause waste, and waste prevention actions that are often carried out. The results of this study, the type of material that has the largest quantity is sand with a total score of 97, cement with a total score of 93, and red brick with a total score of 45. The dominant factor causing the amount of remaining architectural work material in subsidized housing is external factors with a total score of 116, material management with a total score of 83, and workers with a total score of 80. Then the form of preventive action that can minimize the waste of material that is often done is checking periodically (monitoring) with a total score of 125, purchasing materials as needed with a total score of 125, and increased coordination between workers with a total score of 124.

“I Use Social Media as an Escape from All That” Personal Platform Architecture and the Labor of Avoiding News

We examine the work that U.S. young adults undertake to design and maintain their personal media worlds across digital platforms, and the consequences of those practices for news use. Drawing on 50 in-depth interviews with 18-34-year-olds, including a shared reading of participants’ most-used social media platforms, we develop the concept of personal platform architecture and articulate links between this architectural work and other forms of digital labor. We illustrate the types of labor young platforms users engage in as they construct and curate across multiple “public” and “private” spaces online, with an emphasis on architectural labor that leads away from encounters with news.

The Architectural Style of Masjid Agung At-Taqwa, Kutacane, Southeast Aceh (2016-2023)

This article aims to discuss the architectural style of the At-Taqwa Great Mosque in Kutacane, Southeast Aceh, during the period of 2016 to 2023. The study follows a qualitative research design with a descriptive approach. The research method used in this study is historical research. Data collection was conducted through interviews and observations. The results indicate that Islamic architecture is a captivating style that exemplifies the beauty of each building. Each detail contains a symbolic element with a significant meaning. An architectural work takes the form of a building, commonly referred to as a cultural symbol and also considered a work of art. Likewise, the architectural works within the At-Taqwa Great Mosque building combine styles from various local and international influences, resulting in a stunning work of art.

Exploring the Acoustics of Ancient Open-Air Theatres

The theatres of Antiquity, Greek and Roman, constitute public buildings of the utmost importance in the history of Western culture and in universal cultural heritage. Many of these spaces are being used for their original function with or without only minor adaptations. If they are well preserved and/or restored, these performance buildings attract large audiences to representations of classical and contemporary plays, thereby serving the purpose for which they were built in the Ancient Age. These theatres bear witness to the existing relationship between architectural work, visual and acoustic experience, and dramatic art. Although the majority are located in the Mediterranean region, these structures were also built in the major cities of the ancient world in Europe, the Middle East, northern Africa, and beyond. This paper aims to summarise and critically review research published in the literature regarding their acoustic aspects, with particular emphasis on Roman theatres. These pieces of research emphasize the importance of the diffraction of sound in the tiers of the cavea and the good intelligibility for speech of the Greco-Roman theatre.

The Emergence of Interior Architecture

Less than a century has passed since the creation or at least the use of the term interior architecture. Although interior architecture had existed before and was considered an inseparable part of architectural work, some developments and changes became the basis for the formation of interior architecture and, as a result, its appearance independently of architecture. The main impact of these developments in the independence of interior architecture can be traced to the 19th and 20th centuries when the field of two specialisations of the same family, interior decoration and interior design emerged. This article aims to take a step towards understanding what interior architecture is by understanding the origin or emergence of this speciality. Therefore, in this research, firstly, the background of the emergence of interior decoration and interior design is discussed, then why and how interior architecture appeared is investigated and analysed. The methodology of this research is interpretive-historical and the findings are expressed using graphical methods in the form of flow charts, timelines, and diagrams. In the conclusion of this research, a conceptual model is presented to explain the impact of the emergence of these three specialities on each other.

Development Of Risk-Based Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) Standards For Integrated Design And Construction Phase On Design-Build Method Of Architectural Works Of High-Rise Building To Improve Construction Safety Performance

Design-build methods are one of the options in carrying out the construction of high-rise buildings with a high level of uncertainty from design phase to construction, which also affects the safety performance of the project itself. Therefore, a prevention standard for a high-risk event is needed based on project activities. This research was prepared using a descriptive qualitative method with expert validation process through Delphi method and completed with a questionnaire survey to conduct a risk assessment. The output in this research is a development of risk-based standard work breakdown structure for architectural work, which generated from 39 high level risk. Based on the results of the mapping of preventive and corrective actions at high-level risks, 5 types of WBS development can be carried out at levels 3 to 6 of the WBS to prevent and minimize the impact of risk so that safety performance could be improved. The novelty in this research lies in the form of design-build project delivery activities which has not been widely discussed in previous work breakdown structure research and risk identification based on the activities listed on the WBS.

Interview with Chat GPT to Define Architectural Design Studio Work: Possibilities, Conflicts and Limits

Design studio forms the backbone of architectural education. It is the first-place students encounter complex design problems that they should understand the context, search for the reasons, structure the demands, and develop creative solutions in the design process. The continuity and integrity of design studios are important, so the instructors have great effort to define and explore the project subjects and themes for each grade to make the environment more productive, creative, and collaborative. The meetings, web and literature surveys, and thoughts and experience of instructors enable the definition of an architectural design studio work. This research is to seek another knowledge source that could have possible contributions to this process. Chat CPT is a newly released artificial intelligence project that people can experience for months. It is a language model the training and learning continue. By the objective of the research, an interview with chat GPT is structured and executed to define and explore possible issues and valuable knowledge for third-year architectural design studio work as a case study. The recordings are presented, and an evaluation survey, Delphi technique among experts, is held to emphasize artificial intelligence's possibilities, conflict, and limits in taking the stakeholder role. Prominent findings are that AI continuously responds and presents important issues for requirements and concepts. It has limits on reaching the maps and conflicts in distinguishing the countries and institutions.

The Impact of Tropical Vernacular Courtyard on Air Temperature Reduction The Case Study of Djaduk Ferianto's House

The study of contemporary architectural work incorporating vernacular tropical design strategies is still not widely done. Architect Eko Prawoto did a lot of design exploration to provide comfort through the inclusion of natural elements and the relationship between outer and inner space in his contemporary residential work. Vernacular courtyards in buildings are one of the passive design strategies for lowering the air temperature in Djaduk Ferianto's house. This paper aims to evaluate tropical elements and the performance of air temperature reduction through visual observation and thermal environmental measurements. Visual observation is conducted by observing building elements that meet tropical design criteria and indicators that continue with a conformity analysis. Measurement of thermal environments limited in air temperature and humidity followed by descriptive, evaluative, and comparative analysis of neutral temperature and the value of air temperature reduction. The study findings are as follows: first, the main criteria of tropical design elements in Eko Prawoto's work according to the value of highly appropriate are courtyard elements, building form, roofs, and natural shades. Second, the lowest average comfortable air temperature and the longest duration of comfortable conditions are found in the courtyard room, which is 28.7°C for 17 hours per day. Third, the most significant reduction in air temperature occurred in the courtyard, with an average of 1.4°C compared to the dining room (1°C) and bedrooms (0.6°C). Recommendations for improving courtyard performance are adjusting proportions, adding a roof, placing shade plants, and raising the courtyard enclosure.

Domenico Gilardi’s Sketch of a Park Pavilion: Aspects of Attribution

This article is devoted to the problem of the attribution of architectural graphics, the identification and analysis of the individual graphic style of Domenico (Dementi Ivanovich) Gilardi, a master of Swiss origin, the chief architect of post-fire Moscow. In spite of the formal, stylistic and iconographic knowledge of the Moscow Empire style, the issue of attribution of architectural graphics to the period remains open. The work of Gilardi is no exception in this respect.The objective of this research is to use stylistic and iconographic analysis of his most outstanding works to form an idea of the nature of his graphic style and its peculiarities. The relevance of the topic is dictated by the need to distinguish the graphic works of Gilardi himself from the sheets created by his pupil — the architect A. Grigoriev (and in the longer term — to identify the “hand” of A. Grigoriev).The method of formal and stylistic analysis and iconographic comparison was chosen. Artistic sources are the most striking architectural and graphic works by Gilardi, which have not yet been studied in detail: several signed drawings, as well as a draft design of a park pavilion from the collection of the Shchusev State Museum of Architecture (the latter was introduced into academic circles by the author and is central in terms of representation). The style of the unrealised design of the park pavilion reflects the historical perspective of birth, development and decline of the Moscow Empire style in one of its variants. The style distinctly refers to the antique, Renaissance and classic monuments.The following complex of problems is being solved within the framework of the research: the genesis of the post-fire Moscow style is presented, the specific features of the architectural graphics of the first quarter of the 19th century are evaluated; the sketch of the park pavilion and the series of several drawings (so called master’s exemplary graphics) are described and analyzed as the basis for the attribution; the work of Gilardi is examined in the context of the global neoclassicism style development.The conducted study, in which the relationship between architectural and graphic style plays a key role, allows us to form an idea of Gilardi’s individual style and approach a more complex issue of attribution, chronology and style in his constructions. The unity of harmony, beauty and technicality of Gilardi’s works is expressed in the juxtaposition of his manner with the ideal of timeless classicism.

Zadání architektonického a uměleckého díla v raném novověku. Mezi hospodářskými dějinami a dějinami umění

Neither economic history nor art history can exist today without a consistent interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary approach. Historians of social and economic history must take into account in their research that the commissioning of an architectural or artistic work (not only) in the early modern period is not merely one type of economic investment, but that it represents a distinctive type of human action characterized by its artistic and spiritual value. Art historians, when studying the sources accompanying the commissioning of architectural works, must take note that, on the basis of the same principles, works that are usually perceived as non-art were commissioned in the early modern domain. Interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research of this type cannot do without the interconnection of economic, social and legal history from the position of historical science, and from the position of art history, the interconnection of art history, cultural history and the history of lifestyle cannot be omitted.

MEREDUKSI BEBAN ANGIN DENGAN TRANSFORMASI BENTUK TEKNIK EXTRUDE DALAM FOLDING ARCHITECTURE (STUDI KASUS HOTEL MAHKOTA SINGKAWANG)

Wind load is one of the main calculations in architectural design, and in the initial process, a designer is more dominant in directing shapes based on structure rather than expressing himself in the form of his design work. While form is the basic element that appears in architectural work, there are various methods of finding forms that have appeared in the development of architectural science. For this reason, the concept of folding architecture is focused on how to process shapes, using the "folding extrude" technique to produce shapes that can reduce the amount of wind load. The object taken in this study is a tall building, with the chosen case study namely the Mahkota Hotel Singkawang, which is the tallest building in West Kalimantan Province. This study raises the simulation process to be carried out by digital simulation with Computational Fluid Dynamics in Autodesk CFD software. The results of this study are from the transformation of the folding extrude technique which has the same shape as one of the architectural elements. From the results of a comparison of the wind load on the surface of ordinary buildings and the results of the folding extrude form, it is proven to be able to reduce wind loads by 15.1%.

Art-based References in Architecture

The conditions affecting architectural form are changing more rapidly and radically today. There is no longer a consistent canon nor a uniform guideline to follow. However, technological achievements offer more opportunities for architects; the buildings are isolated from their surroundings and become formulaic objects. Due to the increasing impersonality of globalized construction, the search for alignment points that help the integrity of architectural works has lost its importance.This research examines those creators and their design methods who reject global trends and try to renew the emptiness of modernism. This paper has collected and analyzed alternative attempts, rich in multi-layered readings, emphasizing the value of the given place. These directions, seeking a connection to culture, history, and art, attempt to identify new points of alignment. How can these cultural elements become a guideline for the design process? How can they liberate formulaic modernity in crisis?This essay explores the answers through a conversation with Adam Caruso. The architect's writings, teaching, and design practice are unavoidable among contemporary architects who represent a critical attitude towards the impersonality of construction and promote the importance of cultural embeddedness. The practice of his office – founded with Peter St John – is fascinating because, in addition to examples from the history of architecture, they also use art-based references to find relevant architectural answers that reflect today's problems. The conversation reveals how we can integrate art-based references into architectural creation and education.

The New Green Regenerative Architecture

Since Brundtland Commission, 1987 defined Sustainability – “Utilising resources without compromising future generations”, today’s generations continue to compromise the future generations by exploiting the resources and fail to address the potential to move the benchmark, wider on the global climatic issues. The emerging field of regenerative design aims at extending the design and development from neutrality paradigm - resource efficiency to net positive approach that can help the community to resolve the ecological and socio – economic crisis. This approach requires an in-depth understanding about the ecosystem principles, see ‘place’ as a core concept, design and evolve buildings that can regenerate the surrounding ecosystem. Being an emerging concept, the regenerative concept has significant theoretical perspectives with limited case examples. The purpose of the current study is to develop a design framework that bridges the gap between theory and practicality. The current research paper examines the field of regenerative design, its current theory and the works of various ecologists and architects through secondary research. Further, it also explores the limitations and barriers between the theories and practice worldwide. The collected literature was interpreted, evaluated through qualitative methods and concluded with a framework strategy that can be applied in design process as well as in the evaluation of the proposals.

Geometry of the Mexican mendicant temples and its relationship with the damage caused by the earthquake of September 19, 2017

The geometric configuration of the structure of the nave of conventual temples built by mendicant orders in Mexico during the 16th century and its relationship with the damage caused by the September 19, 2017, earthquake is studied. The area of study is the convent complexes of Morelos state, where the Franciscan, Dominican and Augustinian mendicant orders built their first architectural works outsaid the Mexico City. The type of vault, arrangement and proportions of the architectural plan of the nave and its structural elements were considered. With these data and with the support of traditional structural rules, it was possible to classify the nave of the church and relate basic geometric indicators with the damage produced by earthquakes. This empirical method allows us to identify one of the possible causes of the damage level related to the geometry of the structure and can serve as basis for rigorous and detailed studies that consider other factors influencing seismic behavior.

Расход тепловой энергии на временное отопление законченных вчерне станций метрополитена

Introduction. During construction of underground facilities, architectural, finishing and installation works begin before the completion of the main structures. At that time, there is no permanent heating network connection and therefore temporary heat sources must be used to ensure compliance with the works technology. The lack of specific information about the required capacity of such sources makes it impossible to forecast the financial costs, which is essential for contractors. The purpose of the study is to determine the specific value of heat energy consumption for heating underground stations, construction of which is carried out by open method, depending on different outdoor temperatures, construction completion, depth of station installation, as well as the construction volume of the station. Materials and methods. Heat flows have been calculated by means of mathematical modelling of a stationary thermal regime. Analyses of calculation results and normative data have been performed in accordance with the provisions of probability theory and mathematical statistics. Calculation of coefficients and loads are carried out according to generally accepted equations and laws of heat and mass exchange. Climatic data and material parameters are taken according to current normative documents. Results. The values of specific thermal performance of open-cut metro stations depending on space-planning and design solutions, composition of external envelopes, as well as the stage of construction completion (including the presence or absence of backfill) are calculated. Estimated rate of heat energy consumption for temporary heating of open cut metro station is 3.87 Gcal/(1,000 m 3 · month). Conclusions. Temporary heating norms (amount of heat energy) for open-circuit metro stations have been proposed. Heat costs for ensuring the specified air parameters, referred to a unit volume and required for construction and installation works inside the stations during the heating period, are determined.

The Effect of Parametric Design on the Reconstruction of Cultures within the Context of Jakobson's Communication Model

The aim of this study is to examine the effect of parametric design on cultural architectural works within the framework of Roman Jakobson's model of communication. The study will focus on how the use of parametric design is handled as a source of form in contemporary architecture, how it affects the way cultural buildings are perceived and how they communicate their cultural significance. In addition, the other aim of the research is to examine how social culture and architecture, which are both means of communication, can be re-established in a contemporary way through parametric design. Within the framework of Jakobson's communication model, the relationship between the five functions of communication and architecture will be analysed, and then the relation between this relationship and parametric design will be established. In this context, the cultural impact of parametric design will also be examined around four of the five basic functions of Jakobson's communication model, and how parametric design contributes to the process of cultural communication and message creation will be discussed. The research methodology includes a literature review on parametric design, cultural constructs and Jakobson's communication model. In addition, a case study approach will be used to examine the impact of parametric design on the cultural architectures of societies. In this context, "Sunac Guangzhou Theatre" from China, which reconsiders its ancient culture shaped by geography with western culture through contemporary architecture, will be taken as a sample building. The use of parametric design tools will be analysed in the creation of the design concept and cultural quality of the building. In the conclusion and evaluation section, the evaluation of the cultural impact of parametric design through Jakobson's communication model will be evaluated through a table, and the positive contributions of parametric design to the cultural visions of societies in contemporary form will be summarised.

KORUMA VE TURİZM İLİŞKİSİ BAĞLAMINDA İZMİR / FOÇA’DA OSMANLI DÖNEMİ İSLAMİ İBADET YAPILARI

Architectural conservation and tourism are two concepts that affect each other in many ways. The relationship between conservation and tourism, which has developed rapidly in the historical process, has been strengthened with the change and diversification of expectations from tourism. There are many examples of associating architectural heritage with touristic functions in Anatolian settlements where the relationship between conservation and tourism can be seen intensely. One of these examples is the settlement of Foca, which draws attention with its coastal tourism, natural qualities and cultural features. The architectural heritage that strengthens the relationship between conservation and tourism in Foca consists mostly of civil architectural works. In addition, the Ottoman period worship structures in the settlement also have qualities worth examining. While adding value to Foca's tourism potential; at the same time, bringing these structures to the forefront, which should be conserved and delivered to the future, is important in the context of the development of the relationship between conservation and tourism in the region. From this point of view, the study aims to draw attention to the importance of conserving the original elements of settlements with cultural heritage value, as well as keeping them alive through tourism. Scope of work; Fatih Mosque, Kayalar Mosque and Hafız Suleyman Masjid, which have survived to the present day with their spatial qualities and traditional architectural features, will be discussed in the context of the relationship between conservation and tourism. The method of the study, besides the literature and field research related to the structures examined; the study on the qualities that the conservation and tourism relationship brings to the settlements includes the evaluation of the data together. As a result of the study, especially Foca and other historical settlements in Anatolia; it is thought that it will contribute to the conservation of similar heritage and to the development of its relationship with tourism.

The Art of Decorating Traditional Ceramic Tiles in Contemporary Vietnamese Architecture and Interior

Terracotta ceramic brick is a material with a long history in the life of the Vietnamese people, often used to build and decorate ancient architectural works with special techniques, visual arts, and decoration sharp. Over hundreds of years, although at present, the artifacts made from terracotta pottery are no longer intact on the ancient architectural works, they have still been kept as precious heritages, contributing to the formation of the imaging system. Unique statues and symbols in traditional Vietnamese architectural decoration art. Many designers have used traditional ceramic tiles to decorate contemporary architectural, interior, and exterior spaces to create a unique feature for each project. From the perspective of Fine Arts, Design, and a practical approach, the article aims to identify the characteristics, inheritance, and continuation of the artistic heritage of traditional ceramic tile decoration in architectural and interior design contemporary furniture in Vietnam, thereby proposing and suggesting some solutions to this problem.

Sport mega-event fantasies to financialization: the case of Porto Maravilha.

This paper examines the relationship between sport mega-event construction and the financialization of housing in Rio de Janeiro. It focuses on the area of Porto Maravilha, constructed prior to the 2016 Olympic Games, and the particular use of the 2001 federal Statute of City and 1995 Strategic Plan for Rio de Janeiro to create new possibilities for neoliberal-capitalist expansion, initially disguised as democratized access to land yet, in effect, further commoditized land into a form of fictitious capital. To do so, we follow the work of Brazilian architect and author, Raquel Rolnik, and her argument that the legal-institutional emphasis on wealth distribution in urban legislation, propagated at the time of the internationally recognized sport mega-event in Brazil, was not adequately harnessed and instead used to endorse real estate speculation and uneven development in the metropolitan area. The coordination and collaboration between state and nonstate entities in mega-event construction is typically associated with deepened socio-spatial inequities, the privatization of public resource material, and the in/direct displacement of low-income communities. We review pertinent literature to better understand the role of sport mega-event fantasies in the construction of Porto Maravilha-which we come to understand as a speculative logic lubricant for finance. We do this to call attention to future studies to be particularly attuned to financialization in mega-event cities.
