Landscape Luminaire Design for Part of the Conservation of Chudhadhuj Royal Residence, Sichang Island

Chudhadhuj Royal Residence is a historically significant place, located on Si Chang island where a vast landscape area covers both coastal and mountainous areas. Its context connects natural landscape and culture which can be termed a cultural landscape in a holistic. The researcher would like to describe the link between the design criteria and the concepts of the cultural heritage conservation and some identities of the place to meet the function of each area in designing luminaires. The objective of this article is to demonstrate the design process of landscape luminaires for walkway. The design of prototype luminaires consists of a lamppost, a bollard, and a bollard with perforated patterns. Visual design elements and principles with the design concepts were applied to these luminaires. The image of luminaires and the effect of light of each prototype were designed, developed, and tested on-site both day and night-time. The questionnaires displaying computer-simulated images in the actual context were used for an assessment by experts from various design and architectural conservation fields. The results show that these luminaires respond to architectural conservation and identities of the place both day and night-time. The prototype luminaires were improved according to the comments of the experts. Consequently, these luminaires were granted three design patents. Ultimately, the designed luminaires and the lighting master plan were applied to the landscape improvement project of the Chudhadhuj Royal Residence, operated by the Fine Arts Department. This project can be an example of architectural conservation for a cultural heritage site in the future.

leading importance of architectural conservation areas for the establishment of a modern system of interactive recreation in historical cities

The relevance of the study is conditioned by the fact that an architectural conservation area, as a rule, is part of the central territory of the city, which is subject to a special regime of protection of historical and cultural heritage and the status of the land of historical and cultural designation. Nowadays, in the structure of historical cities, there are a number of architectural conservation areas of both national and local significance, for which a special role is played by the unity and complexity of measures to preserve the historical planning structure and architectural substance. Preserving and increasing the historical and cultural values of the nature reserves environment is crucial for creating attractive interactive recreation areas. At the same time, it is of particular importance to determine the trends of interactive recreation in the conservation areas in the entire historical process to further develop the recreational opportunities of public urban spaces. The purpose of the study is to determine the attractions and recreational capacity, richness and diversity of elements of architectural and urban heritage in the territories of the conservation areas, which together constitute the potential for optimal development of the interactive recreation system.

Enhancing fieldwork learning experiences for the architectural conservation curriculum

PurposeFieldwork in architectural conservation education is a proven practice to develop skills in documenting current conditions and start methodological engagements with a site's architectural and historical values. It is a vehicle to generate intensive learning experiences in comprehensive degrees or short courses. Review of the practice within conservation education is not extensive and the purpose of this paper is to reflect on enhancing pedagogy further.Design/methodology/approachThis reflection was triggered by a major case study, a workshop to generate UG teaching capacity for an Architecture school in Colombia. This led to mapping the fieldwork spectrum, reviewing the authors' experiences (PG courses and external workshops) and activities planned in other MSc programmes. Fieldwork is often seen as skills training, so enhancement is explored through the affiliate geography and architecture UG curricula.FindingsThe Colombia workshop provoked strong engagement among students and tutors, and their commitment to make heritage meaningful to their projects is a measure of this pedagogy's success. Fieldwork around a site's essence, beyond skills development can induce conservation students into critical enquiries by motivating them to develop personalised contexts and enhance engagement with the unexpected through inversion of linear learning processes. Setting up site exercises early on PG programmes can encourage curiosity in exploring historic environments and contextualise surveying methods.Research limitations/implicationsStudent reaction to these ideas has still to be tested by designing new activities. The educational methods of this implementation need deeper analysis, beyond the paper's scope.Originality/valueThe paper maps the academic value of fieldwork in conservation education, investigating enhancement and cross-fertilisation from architecture and geography.

DIGITAL STORAGE OF CULTURAL HERITAGE DATA: OPENHERITAGE3D EXAMPLE

In the preservation and sustainability of cultural heritage, digital data has an essential role in the architectural conservation process in terms of serving as documents. For all kinds of protection actions to be taken in this process to be reliable, interactive, efficient, and up-to-date, the acquired digital heritage data should be made accessible to everyone. Openheritage3D, a cultural heritage digital data storage and sharing site, which is an organization that emerged for this purpose, was selected as the sample. The digital cultural heritage data sets available on this site have been examined and analyzed separately for each parameter using the total population sampling method. With the pieces of information obtained from the data tables, comparative graphs and tables were made both continentally and in which all heritages were analyzed together. In order to test the validity of the relationships between these parameters acquired during the evaluation process, cross tables were created and passed through the Pearson Chi-Square test processes. As a result of the statistical evaluations, it was revealed whether the associations of the parameters on Openheritage3D are meaningful or not. Thus, the conditions of carrying the parameters that should be in a sample open access digital heritage application were evaluated. In the architectural conservation aspect, suggestions regarding the digital heritage production process have been expressed. As a result of the analysis and evaluations, the status and potentials of open access applications were conveyed, and the issue of digitization of heritage data, and sustainability of cultural heritage were emphasized. Also, by testing the suitability of the databases and digital documentation parameters of the open heritage examined, it contributed to the decision-making mechanism for a possible open cultural heritage application or platform to be designed on a national and international scale.

The Uniqueness of Architecture and Bamboo House Environment in Pengotan Traditional Village, Bali, Indonesia

Pengotan Village is a traditional village known as a tourism village in which it has unique architectures of bamboo house settlements and its natural beauty. These resources have led to an increase in tourist visits. However, the increase has led to the growth of tourist facilities such as accommodations and restaurants. The construction of tourist facilities has transformed agricultural and plantation lands' functions to support tourism and new settlements. This transformation has caused changes in traditional architecture even though these cultural productions are interesting for tourists. This phenomenon is an architectural challenge for the people to maintain the cultural productions, but at the same time, they can accommodate tourist activities in the village. Therefore, this paper aims to identify the traditional settlement and architecture of the bamboo, including socio-cultural conditions, village morphology, building typology, and problems faced. Using fieldwork investigations and interviews, this paper's output identifies and documents data conditions, problems, analysis, concepts, and strategies for future village architectural conservation. This activity's technical implementation includes preparation, survey, a compilation of data and analysis, formulation of concepts and structuring strategies, design, and socialization.
