APPLICATION OF COLONIAL ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN TO "BANDOENG TEMPO DOELOE" IN KOTA BARU PARAHYANGAN

Architects have an important role in determining the developmentof architecture. Colonial era architectural style is an architecturaldesign concept that was applied during the Dutch colonial period.Inside there are various architectural styles that are quite differentfrom time to time. This architectural style is divided into 3, namelyIndische Empire, Transitional Colonial Architecture, and ModernColonial Architecture. The development of colonial architecture inIndonesia can be seen from the existence of buildings that adoptEuropean architectural styles in various big cities on the island ofJava, such as Jakarta, Bandung, Jogja, Semarang, and Surabaya.Traces of Colonial Architecture in Bandung can be seen frombuildings in conservation areas such as the Braga area, Dago, andalso in the Diponegoro Street area or the Gasibu area of Bandung.Kota Baru Parahyangan is one of the largest independent cities inthe Greater Bandung area which has a development concept orhistorical pillar, namely having a house building design withcolonial architectural style in the "Bandoeng Tempo Doeloe"corridor area. Based on this development concept, the author aimsto discuss articles on the concept of colonial architecture in the"Bandoeng Tempo Doeloe" area. In addition, the author also hopesthat the discussion of this article can provide a lesson for thegeneral public about colonial architecture, especially in theBandung area. The results of the discussion of this article concludethat the buildings in the "Bandoeng Tempo Doeloe" area adapt tothe three colonial architectural styles, most of which refer tomodern colonial architecture.

Application Research of Green Building Design Based on BIM Technology

This paper aims to investigate the application of Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology in green building design. Green building design, as a sustainable architectural design concept, holds significant environmental and economic benefits. Meanwhile, BIM technology, as a tool for digital modeling and collaborative work, provides new possibilities for green building design. This study explores the application effectiveness, challenges, and opportunities of BIM technology in green building design through case analysis. The research findings demonstrate that green building design based on BIM technology can enhance design efficiency, optimize resource utilization, reduce environmental impact, and contribute to the sustainable development of the construction industry. However, this application still faces challenges regarding technology, data consistency, and collaboration mechanisms. Future research should focus on addressing these challenges to further promote the development of green building design based on BIM technology.

Design strategies for addressing COVID-19 issues in buildings

The past COVID-19 pandemic has created new demand and expectations for next-generation buildings. Besides proper indoor air quality (IAQ) and daylight in the indoor environment, the building should provide appropriate working conditions. Due to this pandemic, millions have spent longer hours indoors over the past few years. It is imperative to address a multi-objective and multi-function design to control air circulation in the building's shared and isolated spaces while maintaining energy efficiency, humidity control, and other performance standards. This paper analyzed two architectural design concepts that can eliminate energy usage and daylighting inefficiencies and increase the ventilation rate to reduce indoor transmission of airborne particulates and pathogens and unwanted indoor humidity. We have analyzed the impact of courtyards and atria in typical commercial buildings based on architectural principles and practical experience to create a safe and healthy indoor environment for working and living that will improve indoor protection against the past COVID-19 and future similar virus pandemics. The results show that the use of a courtyard or atrium in design builds a positive effect on controlling the indoor environment.

Analisis Penerapan Konsep Desain Arsitektur Tropis pada Hotel Alila Seminyak, Bali

Title: Implementation’s Analysis of Tropical Architectural Design Concepts at Alila Seminyak Hotel, Bali Tropical architecture is born from efforts to adjust to the climate in the tropics. Tropical architectural design always shows the form of adaptation of buildings to the environment. Traditional Balinese houses that function as community residential units are one of the tropical architectural typologies with the main advantage of thermal comfort, especially on air circulation flow that flows well throughout the building. However, when reviewing further commercial buildings in Bali, especially star hotels, the implementation of tropical architecture is a theme that requires deep design thinking. Adjustment to Balinese regional regulations on buildings is very binding; limited sites and demands for comfort and suitability of building functions are challenging for architects to design an accommodation building with a tropical architectural concept. Alila Seminyak Hotel is one of the five-star hotels outside the ITDC Nusa Dua area, which tries to form a tropical architectural identity as the main attraction. This qualitative descriptive research takes the case study of Alila Seminyak Hotel. Assessment analysis was carried out on the physical form of the hotel building, which was then appropriated and compared with tropical architectural theory. The results of this study show that the implementation of tropical architecture in the Alila Seminyak hotel building can be classified into several main elements, namely, first is the form of laying the building period on-site, second is the orientation pattern of the building, and third is The physical design of the building emphasizes, that this building have three main concept designs, it is namely insulation, shading, and cross ventilation.

Associations between real-time, self-reported adolescent mental health and urban and architectural design concepts

ABSTRACTUrban environments influence mental health and development of younger populations. Around 50% of lifetime mental illnesses begin at or prior to the age of 14 years old, and global urbanization trends are forecasted to continue into the coming decades, making links between urban spaces and youth mental health especially important. Little extant research explores links between urban environments, and especially distinct urban design exposures, and adolescent (ages 9–17) mental health. This study uses on-site, ecological momentary assessment (i.e. real-time) surveys and adjusted linear mixed models to explore associations between adolescent (n = 70) mental health indicators and multiple pedestrian design and architecture concepts. Results indicated several significant associations. Notably, spaces high in complexity (visual richness), imageability (distinctiveness), and enclosure (room-like quality) tended to support positive affect. Additionally, mixed built-natural spaces scoring high in scale (pedestrian amenities) and complexity appeared to increase calmness and mitigate anxiousness, while biophilic architecture (nature in built design) seemed to support perceived restorativeness. Practice implications include recommendations for planners to consider implementing natural forms of enclosure (e.g. tall trees), imageability (e.g. natural landmarks), and/or complexity (e.g. variety of gardens/shrubs) in or around spaces frequented by adolescents (e.g. schoolyards) to promote psychological well-being, and design socially supportive environments.

Laser-Doppler Anemometry for detection of the velocity field in the ventilated, asymmetrically heated channel - a case study

The topic of double-skin façades (DSFs) is re-emerging in the research environment, with studies ranging from architectural design concepts to specific investigations of heat and mass transfer in a vertical channel. These studies reflect a lack of comprehension of the phenomena taking place within the DSF cavities. This work presents a case study, where the Laser-Doppler Anemometry principle, combined with video registration of smoke movement, is used to establish the velocity and flow patterns in an asymmetrically heated ventilated channel in a controlled environment. The authors of this work contribute to the research field by addressing the pros and cons of the Laser-Doppler Anemometry approach for the measurement of the vertical velocity component in a DSF and presenting an example of obtained experimental results for the validation of CFD models. The results of this work address the velocity distribution for the vertical 2D cross plane of the DSF cavity. The analysis of the measurement data includes an assessment of the stability of the flow and fluctuations throughout the measurement period.

The application and value of curved roof in modern architecture

The roof is an essential component of a building and is sometimes referred to the "fifth facade" by modern architects. It serves as a load-bearing element as well as being a significant aspect of the building's overall appearance. Throughout history, architects have often used the roof as a way to express their own distinctive design ideas. The primary area of research covered in this essay is the application and value of curved roofs in modern architecture. The article will start with the development of curved roofs from modern surface architectural design concepts and architectural science and technology, then select actual building cases to analyze the structure of curved roofs, materials, and design concept, and from the building bionic design, the user's space feeling, and the urban environment, the three aspects to explore its unique value in architecture. It is hoped that this will serve as a reference for future architectural design.

The ‘Z-Free’ Home: A Circular Thinking and Eco-Cycle Design Practice

In recent years, the need for affordable sustainable housing has increased. At the same time, there has been a gradual rising interest in compact living. With the mounting impacts of climate change, a new way of thinking is needed to develop more resilient and climate responsive ways of living that are compact, affordable, and climate-conscious. In response to this need, the idea of a ‘Z-Free Home’ was born. The ‘Z-Free Home’ is a tiny mobile house equipped with essential passive and eco-cycle systems that achieves nine zero targets. The main design and construction concept is based on circular design and a return to nature life cycle principles. In this paper, the architectural design concept, building energy modelling, and simulation for the Z-Free Home design proposal is discussed. This paper describes the concept design and design development phases together with building modelling and simulation. A focus was made on the use of virtual reality in design development assessment as a new method for evaluating passive and eco-cycle systems. The results show that it’s possible to achieve nine different zero goals while the analysis illustrates the challenges in achieving them. The paper also described the next steps planned for the proof of concept, i.e., the 1:1 house model. The project is ongoing, and it aims at a full-scale physical prototype as a proof of concept for the zero targets. The ‘Z-Free Home’ is designed for the cold Swedish climate but could be more widely applicable in other mild climates as well as hot climates.

IMPLEMENTASI PENGGUNA ARTIFICIAL INTELEGENT (AI) PADA PLATFORM MIDJOURNEY DALAM ITERASI ARSITEKTUR

The field of architecture has experienced spectacular developments over the years. The reason is that in the Industrial 4.0 era, various breakthroughs and disruptions to the world of architecture have resulted in rapid developments that enable the design process to create more unique and more complex designs. AI (Artificial Intelligence) technology which is currently developing in various scientific fields has the potential for future architectural developments. One of the popular AI developments is the ability to convert images into text which provides potential in the architectural iteration process or what is better known as the phase of looking for reference ideas in the schematic stage. The process of converting certain text or keywords into images can actually help architects to find patterns and shapes that suit preferences, speeding up the design process and producing efficient designs. In addition, AI can predict design performance in various scenarios. It is an attempt to use artificial intelligence to explore early architectural design concepts. The data analysis method used in this research was to observe the effect of using keywords in creating prompts or commands for AI on Midjourney and then comparing them with the results of other images. After the comparative study, it will be measured to what extent the use of AI is implemented in certain situations or conditions in the Architectural Iteration phase that occurs. Based on the results of image analysis, the prompt arrangement is also a control variable used to create specific drawings in creating architectural concept iterations consisting of "Object Type, Material Type, Architectural Style, Architect Name, Style Render, View, Environment/Background and Type of Lighting" With the results of the prompt translation, it can be concluded that the more specific the order of the prompts used as keywords, the more specific the resulting image will be, in this case we can exercise control over the image that we want to generate.

Intelligent initial model and case design analysis of smart factory for shipyard in China

At present, due to the lack of core technology and technological innovation ability, the design technology of traditional shipyards in China is backward. The operation mode of front-line workers in shipyards is highly dangerous. There are problems that endanger the physical and mental health of workers, such as noise and paint mist pollution, which lead to low production efficiency of workers and difficulties in personnel allocation. Under this background, “shipyard labor shortage” and other similar situations followed. If the concept of smart factory is introduced into traditional shipyards, the above problems can be effectively alleviated and solved. However, due to the complexity of ship product structure processing and manufacturing, the definition of smart shipyard in China is still vague, and the research process of smart shipyard is relatively slow. Aiming at the vague functional concept of smart shipyard, the lack of research on information design and management, smart production process and smart implementation process, this paper provides a conceptual architecture design model of civil smart shipbuilding factory. The functional definition of smart shipyard is discussed, and the initial conceptual model of smart shipyard is established, including information network platform model, smart production process model and smart implementation process model. The application case verifies the above model. Firstly, the information network platform model of α group is constructed, and the group brain control system is established. Secondly, the smart production process of shipyard A under α group is established. Finally, the smart implementation process of shipyard A is designed. The case study shows that: All ships completed 100% modeling, and the pre-outfitting rate increased to about 95%. By using the wire cutting robot, the production efficiency is increased by 70%. In the smart factory mode, the 60,000 tons bulk carrier can save 35thousand dollars labor costs and 11 million dollars in shipping fuel costs each year. The shell steel plate of the 300,000 tons ore carrier is reduced by 212 tons, and the weight is reduced by 10.5%. Case shipyard A under α group using the above smart factory model can save about 0.7 million dollars labor costs per year; reduce fuel costs by about 2.2 million dollars per year; saving 2.5 million steel usage per year. In total, shipyard A reduced expenditure by about 5.4 million dollars in one year.

Effect of memory on the contemporary architectural design concept

The human memory is the mental storehouse that preserves the events, facts, and dreams that happen to him in his life or his mind creates them. According to psychologists and sociologists, the memory pursued by human beings is linked to the mine of creativity as it generates special human emotions. Architects embodied the Double Code Theory through the content of their personal memories. They presented architectural formations that carried two meanings: the first is visible to the audience, and the other is hidden and related to the memory of the architect, where the architect relied on recalling events related to his memory. Architects recall their memories and work to recall their own memories and are inspired by their designs, as the architectural buildings become of historical, civilizational, and cultural value. Thus, the scope of this research belongs to the field of diaries of architecture, trying to unveil the secrets and intentions of architects who inspire their design concepts from the memory of civilizations and their own memories. This paper exposes the ideas of the most prominent designers who worked on buildings around the world, whereas the main aim of this paper is to re-read and interpret contemporary architectural languages that rely on memory in their design concepts to enable us to deconstruct and understand them from the perspective of memories of the past and to understand the intended message beyond, depending on methods of analysis by tracing particles, definitions, and theories through presenting a literature review to highlight what came in the precedent research in this topic. This research hypothesizes that the memory is the inspiration source for contemporary architecture. Throughout the paper, the analytical method investigates this hypothesis using certain parameters of analysis on three case studies, followed by a comparison to explore how each architect of these projects inspired his own memory to lead the design setting. One of the most prominent findings is the process of comprehending the design concept can’t be easy for visitors unless they make an intellectual and physical effort to disclose the secret of architect and truly detect the inspirational memory. Another important finding is that the memory of architect, implemented in the design ideas, always touches whether religious or political events or personal experiences.

Special Issue: Emerging Technologies and Methods for Early-Stage Product Design and Development

Abstract The early-stage product design and development (PDD) process fundamentally involves the processing, synthesis, and communication of a large amount of information to make a series of key decisions on design exploration and specification, concept generation and evaluation, and prototyping. Although most current PDD practices depend heavily on human intuition, advances in computing, communication, and human-computer interaction (HCI) technologies can transform PDD processes by combining the creativity and ingenuity of human designers with the speed and precision of computers. Emerging technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), cloud computing, and extended reality (XR) stand to substantially change the way designers process information and make decisions in the early stages of PDD by enabling new methods such as natural language processing, generative modeling, cloud-based virtual collaboration, and immersive design and prototyping. These new technologies are unlikely to render the human designer obsolete, but rather do change the role that the human designer plays. Thus, it is essential to understand the designer's role as an individual, a team, and a group that forms an organization. The purpose of this special issue is to synthesize state-of-the-art research on technologies and methods that augment the performance of designers in the front-end of PDD—from understanding user needs to conceptual design, prototyping, and development of systems architecture while also emphasizing the critical need to understand the designer and their role as well.

Analysis of Similarities and Differences between Potala Palace and Edinburgh Castle under Different Historical Background

National culture is independent of the mainstream culture and constitutes the mainstream culture. To some extent, the national architecture reflects the development of local culture and history and the symbol of the local city. National architecture relates to the development of local culture and customs and shows the unique national belief in a solid form. The relationship between national culture and architecture is closely linked and complementary. This paper mainly studied the differences in national architecture between Chinese and Western cultures, taking Potala Palace and Edinburgh Castle as examples, analyzing and summarizing their similarities and differences. As a unique product of the development of local culture, national architecture itself has very high historical and cultural value. Some buildings use as tools and symbolize the spiritual sustenance of local culture. Therefore, this article regarding the national culture to the architectural influence analysis may construct the perfect architectural theory knowledge. To help the development of modern architectural design concept, better integration of traditional culture, absorb experience to retain historical culture.

Exploration of three-dimensional spatial learning approach based on machine learning–taking Taihu stone as an example

Under the influence of globalization, the transformation of traditional architectural space is vital to the growth of local architecture. As an important spatial element of traditional gardens, Taihu stone has the image qualities of being “thin, wrinkled, leaky and transparent” The “transparency” and “ leaky” of Taihu stone reflect the connectivity and irregularity of Taihu stone’s holes, which are consistent with the contemporary architectural design concepts of fluid space and transparency. Nonetheless, relatively few theoretical studies have been conducted on the spatial analysis and design transformation of Taihu stone. Using machine learning, we attempt to extract the three-dimensional spatial variation pattern of Taihu stone in this paper. This study extracts 3D spatial features for experiments using artificial neural networks (ANN) and generative adversarial networks (GAN). In order to extract 3D spatial variation patterns, the machine learning model learns the variation patterns between adjacent sections. The trained machine learning model is capable of generating a series of spatial sections with the spatial variation pattern of the Taihu stone. The purpose of the experimental results is to compare the performance of various machine learning models for 3D space learning in order to identify a model with superior performance. This paper also presents a novel concept for machine learning to master continuous 3D spatial features.
