Designing a Building for Shadow Puppet Shows in Semarang City

The study aim is how to create a different building design that is able to attract the interest of young people who are able to accommodate and also preserve the art of Shadow Puppet (shadow puppet) that it is known by the wider community. Based on the shortage of shadow puppet show facilities in Semarang as the capital of Central Java, the procurement of a shadow puppet performance facility which has educational facilities for the Dalang or puppeteer profession is felt to be the right solution to preserve and revive this art of Shadow Puppet. The design of the shadow puppet show building in Semarang City raises the philosophy of the mountains of Shadow Puppet called “Kayon". Harmony with Nature as the architectural theme of the shadow puppet performance building was chosen so that the architecture of the building can live in harmony with nature by understanding and accepting the inanimate reality of natural forces.

Application of Behavioral Architecture in The Land Arrangement of a Simple Rental Flat, Bong Cino Tomb Area, Madiun City

The city of Madiun is currently experiencing an increase in population with various backgrounds. Based on the description of the problem, a long-term plan is needed to anticipate the population's need for housing. There is a problem that is in the spotlight, namely residents who build homes on the slum land of the Bong Cino Cemetery area and have occupied the area for tens of years with the nature of activities that are contrary to the norm. In the problems that have been described, it is necessary to plan and design flats for residents in the Bong Cino Cemetery area by applying a behavioral architectural theme to be able to communicate with users through sensing the buildings that affect human psychology. The types of research conducted are field studies and literature studies. In collecting data using interview methods, observation methods, documentary methods, and literature methods as well as the types and sources of data used are primary data and secondary data. From the discussion of the problems, it can be concluded that designing the low-cost flat building, namely focusing on land management by applying the concept of macro-defensible space which is applied to land planning, produces a role in the mechanism of action prevention for environmental protection and is expected to be of assistance and benefit to the community and to be able to overcome problems in the Bong Cino Tomb area.

Penerapan Arsitektur Neo-Vernakular Pada Tempat Istirahat dan Pelayanan Jalur Lintas Selatan Kabupaten Pacitan

Road construction for the southern route is a road network to connect several cities in the Java Island. This southern route have the possibility of an accident. Generally, accidents occur due to unroadworthy’s vehicles and the tired drivers. Therefore, in order to reduce the rate of accidents on the southern route, the government is required to provide rest areas for road users. Rest Area is a place and facilities provided for road users so that both drivers, passengers and their vehicles can rest temporarily. Unfortunately, there is no Rest Area along the southern route of Pacitan Regency. Meanwhile, the distance from one city to another is quite far, so a Rest Area is needed so that road users and their vehicles can rest for a while. The planning for this rest area is using Neo-Vernacular Architecture theme, to raise the local traditional characteristics of the Pacitan district, which are adapted to modern developments. That way it will create a uniqueness in the building that can attract visitors from various walks of life.

Exploring the Architecture and Its Influence of Badshahi Mosque Lahore (Bmlh): A Unesco Tentative Heritage Site

Asia has a variety of diverse ancient cultures and civilizations. In this paper, we studied the architecture of a UNESCO tentative heritage site: Badshahi Mosque Lahore (BMLH, 1671–1673), built by the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb Alamgir (AA). The site is special since it had the largest mosque title (human capacity = 100,000) in the world from 1673 to 1986, has great architectural importance, and is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the world. Various mosque architectures (MA) emerged over the past 1400 years worldwide to preserve each region's diversity, identity, and culture. A documentation visit was arranged to study this site and feel the real architecture of the Mughals after decades of preserved form. The study found that BMLH underwent significant alterations while keeping the original MA. This unique study further focused on the basic architecture of the Mughal Era. A detailed study of the architectural themes of BMLH showed that the architectural style of this heritage included regional, cultural, and traditional impacts. By analyzing the architectural themes and distinctive features of BMLH, we have uncovered the distinct regional, religious, and psychological influences that led to Mughal-era mosque architecture's development. Further documentation was reported about the current structural situation of Badshahi Mosque; the number of seepages has been pointed out, and several decays were sighted during our visit. For this significant site's perfect preservation, it was proposed that high-end preservation strategies be implemented in the future.

Redesain Terminal Tipe A Poris Plawad di Kota Tangerang dengan Tema Arsitektur Hijau

Plawad Terminal is a type A bus terminal which still serves public transportation vehicle mobility in the area around Cipondoh Tangerang District. The potential for passenger mobility and environmental conditions are sufficient to support its existence as a regional transportation facility.

ADAPTING DIGITAL ARCHITECTURE VOCABULARY TO REFORMULATE GEOMETRIC COMPOSITIONS OF ISLAMIC FACADES - CASE STUDY: PROPOSED MODEL FOR ISLAMIC FAÇADE THROUGH DIGITAL VOCABULARY

Islamic architectural facades characterized by many distinguished vocabularies that formed its character; as arches, ornaments, al-Muqarnas and mashrabeya etc. However, during the modern era, the Islamic heritage regions faced many changes and transformations of its character, either by new buildings that were built according to modern or unplanned styles, or by random and unplanned developments. However, recently and with the beginning of the twenty first century and with the great breakthrough in the digital tools and techniques, it facilitates new horizons in the architectural form generation. Accordingly, the research focuses on how to investigate the positive impacts of digital technologies on Islamic Architecture. In addition to how to utilize the digital thoughts, vocabulary, and techniques to create and develop a heritage inspired vocabulary that can compromise with the traditional Islamic architecture theme. Through this, the research aims to achieve a systemization of digital design strategies to facilitate the generation of Islamic-inspired façade, to create a new Islamic architecture that can be applied within Islamic heritage regions to connect the modern buildings which located in these regions with the existing Islamic reference. To achieve that, the research starts with studying and discussing the main elements that formed the Islamic facades, to stand on the methods of formations of each element and its function of the Islamic façade, whether it is an intrinsic function or aesthetic function. Consequently, standing on the main digital theories that lead to new architectural vocabulary that can homogenate with Islamic vocabulary, through studying the concept of each digital theory, accordingly how it can be applied theoretically to create a modern façade with an Islamic spirit. The research ends with a case study for a proposed modern building that resembles most of the recent buildings in Al-Azhar Islamic region in Cairo, and how through applying some selected digital theories can result in developing and renovating this facade to match the heritage Islamic surrounding in a new digital way.

NATION BRAND ARCHITECTURE- A REALITY OR REVERIE FOR AFRICAN NATIONS: THE CASE OF BOTSWANA

Nation brand architecture gives a ‘sense of mission’ which can help unify key players, concentrate resources, increase efficiency, and create synergies in customer attraction Joao (2018). However, what seemingly works for product/ corporate brands appears to be more of a brown study for nation branding. Adoption of nation brand architecture is gaining traction in Western nations. Many countries in Africa such as Botswana seem not to be consciously employing this seemingly beneficial concept.This paper therefore explores the extent to which Botswana; an African nation has adopted this concept. It also focuses on how the nation embeds and applies the existing national identities such as national colours (reflected in the nation flag), symbols, animals, and plants in the brand architecture.The study employs a content analysis approach that investigates the nation against four overarching themes of brand architecture. Using the Dinnie (2008) Nation Brand Architecture Model (NBAR), the paper draws valuable insights from an analysis of brand architecture concepts as well as the current adopted or default brand architecture for the nation of Botswana. The paper forms the initial sequel of papers on Botswana nation brand architecture model. The initial findings present a tenuous understanding of the adopted architecture reflective of both the endorsed and branded house architecture.

Sustainable Architectural Pluralism Through Contemporary Architectural Design

Architectural pluralism is an architecture that would adopt the ‘localcharacter’, which is not only concerned with the geographical aspects but also theoblique way of life (the historical and cultural forces). While contemporaryarchitecture is a term used to describe the current architectural styles present intoday’s architecture; it is usually a form of construction that represents a wide rangeof building styles and designs originated or inherited from various influences.Considering the previous, this research aim is to investigate how pluralisticarchitecture could be found in contemporary architecture through implementingsustainability and its relation to the design morphology adopted by othercontemporary architectural themes. It is intended to discuss different themes ofcontemporary architecture and highlight their design characteristics throughanalysis of 3-case studies that were presented to discuss in depth the features ofthese two themes. The study special focused on their contribution to providing asustainable environment. The findings of this study indicated that pluralism inarchitecture is highly present in contemporary architecture, toward coping withcommunity changes.

A Numismatic Perspective on the Architecture of North and West Pontic Cities in the 1st-3rd Centuries AD. Defensive Systems.

The coins of the Greek cities of the Roman era (the so-called “provincial coins”) become an important source of information about the issuing ancient city through the historical and architectural themes illustrated on their reverse. They allow not only the detection or nuancing of some events, which the passage of time has largely made forgotten, but also show the ancient monuments to the current researcher, unspoiled by the passage of time, in the splendour of the era of their construction. In this work, part of a wider project, we want to address a category of monuments illustrated by provincial coins from the north and west Pontic area, respectively that of defensive constructions, which were included in the composition of the fortified enclosures of the cities from this area. City gates (often monumental or triumphal), portions of walls, and even entire urban enclosures are themes frequently illustrated by the coin engravers in the 2nd-3rd centuries AD. In the following, the monetary issues, which illustrate defensive edifices of the cities of Thrace (Anchialos, Augusta Traiana, Byzie, Hadrianopolis) and Moesia Inferior (Callatis, Marcianopolis, Nicopolis ad Istrum, Tomis) or those of the Bosporan Kingdom, will be analysed from a constructive point of view, as well as from a broader historico-geographical perspective.

THE CONCEPT OF "MEGASTRUCTURE" IN MODERN ARCHITECTURE

In the 1960s, the theoretical concept of a megastructure - an extremely large structure - arose in architecture, which predicted the further development of architecture in practice. The concept of megastructure became more complicated and gained depth, combining progressive architectural concepts and theories of the second half of the 20th century ("open form", "indeterminacy", structuralism, architectural metabolism, etc.). But deepening the individual provisions of the concept introduced by F. Maki, one of the defining characteristics of a megastructure – its multifunctionality – did not receive further development among theorists of the middle of the 20th century. Also, in our opinion, it is important to emphasize that the excessive size of the building is accompanied by the extreme complexity of the project program and the construction of the architectural form.
 We traced the evolution of the concept, which began with the design of cities as a single structure, and spread to the design of buildings and the organization of city fragments.
 The border of the 20th and 21st centuries is filled with the practice of building super-large buildings and complexes, the construction of which requires enormous economic efforts of the country, the introduction of technical innovations and the attraction of particularly large investments. We practically witnessed the emergence of a new typology of buildings that combines architecture and urban planning, and for which in most cases the term F. Maki - megastructure is used.
 Architectural theory responds to the problem of super-large structures with the concepts of Groβform, Bigness architecture and megaform. Each of the concepts considered in the study offers its own strategy for solving the problem of gigantism (beyond the boundaries of classical architectural methods) - a megastructural approach (F. Maki), an approach based on a large-scale architectural theme (O. Ungers), a topographic approach (K. Frampton).
 All presented concepts combine the determination of the city-forming role of super-large buildings, their consideration as an effective means of solving the problems of the modern city.

Identity, Locality and Image of the Residential House by Eko Prawoto

The development of residential architecture now depends on market tastes, with the trend of minimalist houses being identical in style and without a theme, as if they have lost their identity. In this case, there were many discussions that featured Eko Prawoto as an architect with the theme of local architecture, but the subject of this research questioned him. Therefore, this study discusses how the identity and concept of the natural locality of Eko Prawoto's residential works are expressed through architectural tectonics. The architectural biographical approach is used in qualitative inductive research through an emic view. The focus of this research topic is on the process of expressing the image of residential buildings through architectural tectonics. The results obtained are in the form of processing materials, techniques, and flavors in the process of building a house. This discussion is important to straighten the concept of local architecture and the meaning of architectural works through a biographical approach. This research is expected to be the basis for the use of tectonics as a basis for meaningful architectural development.

Design of Toba Caldera Geopark Museum in Balige With A Green Architecture Approach

The Lake Toba area as a Global Geopark Network is imaged as a super destination with the world's largest and one of the deepest volcanic lakes, thus making it a world heritage with diverse diversity such as geology, biology, and culture. Lake Toba creates extraordinary natural phenomena, making this area rich in geological diversity such as expanses and rock types, and contains geological heritage values (heritage), cultural heritage, and bio-heritage that are well known International. However, attractions in the Toba Caldera Geopark area have not provided education only as a place of recreation for tourists. Therefore, it is necessary to design the Toba Caldera Geopark Museum as a place for organizing, collecting, maintaining, researching, presenting information about the benefits and potentials of the Toba Caldera Geopark area with the theme of green architecture and accommodating recreational and educational activities for visitors. This study used qualitative research methods. Several data collection, several data collection methods are used, primary data and secondary data. In designing the geopark museum utilizing the concept of energy-efficient green architecture in natural lightings such as skylights, natural ventilation, respect for the site, respect for users, and experience materials.

Early Works of Mstislav Dobuzhinsky and Jugendstil Graphic Art

The article examines a number of M.V. Dobuzhinsky’s graphic works published in “Jester”, “The World of Art” and “Apollo” magazines, in comparison with the works of artists in the Munich magazines “Jugend” and “Simplicissimus”. There are revealed the motifs that influenced Dobuzhinsky’s works: the image of pavement and brickwork, the image of a black cat. The author has found that Dobuzhinsky repeated the drawing of the devil by T.T. Heine in a vignette for the magazine “Golden Fleece”. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the fact that, for the first time, it analyzes M.V. Dobuzhinsky’s graphic works published in Russian magazines of the turn of the century, comparing each of them with drawings with similar motifs in the magazines “Jugend” and “Simplicissimus”. The chronological method of analyzing the works of M.V. Dobuzhnisky’s magazine graphics made it possible to reveal the genesis of the image of the city, as well as to clarify the beginning of his appeal to the theme of classicism architecture. In addition, the article introduces into scientific circulation Dobuzhnisky’s drawings for the Petersburg satirical magazine “Jester”. Their chronological analysis in comparison with similar works from the Munich satirical magazines reveals the genesis of the artist’s mastering of Jugendstil drawings in the first year of his autonomous activity. The results obtained demonstrate the influence of woodcuts by Albrecht Dürer on the formation of a unique line in Dobuzhinsky’s drawings. The author concludes that that due to the artist’s appeal to Dürer’s woodcuts, as well as to engravings by Japanese masters, M.V. Dobuzhinsky followed the same path as the masters of the Munich magazine graphics, having developed by the mid-1900s their achievements to a new level in his works.

Relevance of monocrystalline and thin-film technologies in implementing efficient grid-connected photovoltaic systems in historic buildings in Port Fouad city, Egypt

This study explores the potential of integrating PV technologies on pitched roofs in Port Fouad City, Egypt, that represent the dominant style of heritage buildings in coastal cities in the Mediterranean Sea zone, considering the challenges that affect the relevance of preserving the architectural identity. This research starts with the filtration step to shortlist the relevant PV technologies, followed by the simulation step using PVsol Premium for all roof surfaces. Finally, an optimization step is performed to achieve the optimum design. According to the simulation analysis, monocrystalline and thin-film technologies dominate the results. In contrast, installation of polycrystalline technology is inadequate in such type of villas under similar weather conditions in terms of their performance ratio (PR), PV generated energy, and annual yield. Moreover, despite the light weight of the thin-film tile, we observe that the monocrystalline array is more preferable than the thin film owing to its lightest overall weight and least covered area. The optimization results indicated that monocrystalline provides the highest PR (79.4%) and annual yield (1715.1 kW h/kWp) with the smallest covered roof area (7.2 m2) and total weight (78.2 kg), whereas thin-films are more relevant in terms of color complement based on architectural theme.
