Educational Venue from Design to Implementation Process; A Project by Faculty of Fine Arts, Selçuk University

Throughout history, there has been a reciprocal relationship between humans and space. Even though there are numerous spaces covered by this ongoing relationship process, it has integrated and gained value with educational venues. Mainly because they closely monitor social, cultural, technological, and economic developments and pass on knowledge to future generations, educational spaces play a crucial role in the development of individuals as well as society. It is feasible to conclude from research on educational spaces that the physical environment has a major positive or negative impact on education. To solve the issue that the current Faculty of Fine Arts at Selçuk University could not sufficiently respond to user needs physically, it was decided to construct a new Faculty of Fine Arts building. The primary goal of the study is to design the building using user-oriented techniques that promote social interaction and showcase artistic identity throughout the design phase. A qualitative research approach, based on inspection and observations, was used in the study to gather data, documents, and reports on the topic and to ensure that the architectural programming stages advanced correctly and received ongoing feedback. Studies have confirmed the results, which show that artistic education in structures that provide users with distinct experiences is different from that provided in faculty buildings with a type plan scheme. The process, which involves collaboration between stakeholders from various disciplines and necessitates coordination, is also maintained in a coordinated fashion as a consequence of the study. Because of this, it is believed that buildings with comparable features can offer direction by offering a set of data that may also be reliable for design procedures that are prearranged.

The Heritage of Tsarist Russia’s Military Forts as an Object of Postcolonial Revision: Case of the Kaunas School of Art Building 1922–1923

The aim of the article is to rethink which objects in contemporary Lithuania are worth being European cultural heritage and which are not — as many of them are now being used by the neighboured aggressive country as examples (politicised arguments) for today’s Russia’s imperial historical narratives. Results of the research demonstrate that the discussion on mitigations of Tsarist Russia’s military forts heritage is a new topic, as the recent decades in Lithuania have shown that the heritage of military forts’ architecture in the post-soviet decades is being protected even more than in Soviet Russia’s occupation period. So, this trend in Lithuanian cultural Heritage research emerges as an object worth deeper postcolonial revision. Significant is building the future from the past. Within this frame of thinking, the article invites us to remember the national history and select well-known cases from the country’s past as most valuable for national and cultural identity. The example of the famous 100-year-old Art School building in Kaunas city (which in the interwar period 1918–1940 was the temporary capital of the Republic of Lithuania) was chosen as the article’s main case study. After 100 years, there are no longer any doubts or debates as to how much the area of the 9th battery in Kaunas Oaks Hill (Ąžuolų kalnas) has “suffered” due to the fact that the complex of buildings of the Lithuanian national Art School was built in a Tsarist Russia military fortress plot. This is evidenced by the other mentioned cases — today outstanding national cultural heritage objects were built a century ago replacing Tsarist Russia’s military architecture, meanwhile, according to the laws in force today — these buildings should be protected. Conclusions. Russia’s war against Ukraine, it’s the right time to reassess countries’ critical heritage: in which situations it is worth, how much it is worth, and in which it is no longer worth protecting the architectural heritage of military power formed by Tsarist Russia, especially when it is ruined and too difficult to adapt it to the needs of modern people.

SEMARANG JAVANESE ARTS CENTER IN SEMARANG WITH BEHAVIORAL ARCHITECTURE APPROACH

Semarang City is one of the cities on the island of Java that also serves as the capital of Central Java Province. As a Javanese city, Semarang has its traditions, culture, and unique Javanese art with its charm. The Javanese art in Semarang is greatly influenced by hybrid culture factors, where the art has undergone many cultural acculturations throughout the city's history. Unfortunately, many of these arts are not well spotlighted due to a lack of activities to showcase them (events) and the limited spaces available to accommodate various Javanese art activities in Semarang. This has caused Javanese art in Semarang to experience a decline to the point where it is difficult to find information about these arts and a decrease in the art community itself. Additionally, globalization has affected the environment in which these arts develop. Generational differences and environmental changes have led to different behaviors in responding to Javanese art as a traditional art form in Semarang. Given this background, planning, and designing the Semarang Center for Javanese Art Building in Semarang is needed to accommodate Javanese art activities and provide information related to these arts. The approach that will be applied in the planning and design of the Semarang Center for Javanese Art Building is a behavioral architecture approach. This approach will study the behavioral patterns of the community in the context of Javanese art, both as artists and art enthusiasts, with a contemporary orientation. Therefore, the design output will be able to meet the current perception of the community.

Soekarno is in the good category. Aspect value of needs (needs) obtained is 71.07 meaning good category. For the rights aspect, it got a score of 40.87 in the good category. Meanwhile, for the meaning aspect, the public space of the Dr. Art Building area. Ir. Soekarno got a score of 15.88 with a fairly good category. Overall, based on the results of data interpretation and analysis, it was concluded that the Dr. Ir Soekarno Art Building Area can be said to be a good quality public space.

Is Rumenteng Siang the future of public space performing arts in West Java?

Performing arts venues are one of the public spaces essential to developing the human spirit. Almost all performing arts buildings in Indonesia are old Dutch heritage. One of the public spaces for performing arts in the city of Bandung is the Rumenteng Siang building. This place was previously the old building of the former Rivoli Cinema, which was later used as an arts performance space. This research uses a descriptive qualitative method, which discusses the facilities and existence of this public space. The result of this research is the discovery that Rumenteng Siang has experienced a decline in the number of viewers. One of the leading causes is the lack of quality art performances presented in the building. Apart from that, the lack of adequate facilities for art presenters is also an obstacle. Inadequate facilities can reduce the performance quality and the audience's interest in attending the event. Not only that, the lack of comfortable facilities for visitors also reduces the existence of this public space. Therefore, efforts are needed to improve facilities and the quality of performing arts presented at Rumenteng Siang. It can be done through collaboration between management, government, and the arts community to improve facilities and present quality arts performances. In this way, it is hoped that Rumenteng Siang can maintain its existence as an essential public space in developing the human spirit through art

Room acoustics criteria and measurements of lobbies and atria for various building types

The lobby or atrium for a building may serve many purposes -- entryway, welcome area, circulation zone, and architectural point of interest. Increasingly, lobbies and atria serve more and more functions: gathering area, presentation area, music and event space, study area, and dining, among other uses. Since variable acoustics in lobby spaces are not typically feasible or desirable, the acoustical design of lobby spaces must strike a balance for the variety of events planned for the space. Working with design teams and owners to understand the needs of each space, acoustical design criteria evolve based on project-specific needs and previous experience. In this presentation, lobbies are considered for various building types, including education facilities, student commons, museums, and performing arts buildings. In addition to studies of existing spaces and modeling of buildings in design, this presentation expands on the authors' previous efforts by documenting the measured reverberation and background noise in several lobbies and atria after the completion of design and construction.
