KAWASAN TUNGKU NAGA DI SAKKOK, SINGKAWANG DRAGON KILN HERITAGE SITE

Sakkok area in Singkawang is notorious for its traditional Chinese ceramics industry. These ceramics are produced through a wood-firing process in a closed kiln called Dragon Kiln. Dragon Kiln is the product between culture and technology, which was brought by the Southern Chinese immigrants. The only remaining Dragon Kilns, that are still being used and fired now, are in Singapore and Sakkok, Singkawang. Singkawang city is enlisted as Indonesia’s heritage city, therefore, the city is suggested to empower its heritages. This is supported by the people of Singkawang city, in which some of them are the crafters in the Dragon Kiln area. The highlighted architectural problem in this study is “How the architectural design of Dragon Kiln will maximize its Cultural Heritage potential in order to preserve the Dragon Kiln and Traditional Chinese Ceramics Industry?” The applied method for this study is Revitalization Thinking. Revitalization Thinking is a problem solving method based on revitalizing, done in stages, to maximize the design planning. The concept that is implied is an educative, recreational, and sustainable Cultural Heritage Tourism in order to maximize the Cultural Heritage potential of Dragon Kiln through the development of tourism in preserving the Dragon Kiln and Traditional Chinese Ceramics Industry in Singkawang, Indonesia and South-east Asia.

Assessing Social Sustainability for Achieving Sustainable Architecture

Sustainability is an inherent urban and architectural problem. It is simultaneously characterized by many different dimensions, pursuing heterogeneous and often conflicting objectives. To help address these complexities in a structured way, this paper illustrates an integrated assessment framework to tackle social sustainability, in order to support the decision-making process towards sustainable architecture. This integrated decision support framework was applied to a case study concerning a new cultural centre at the Politecnico di Torino in Italy. The aim of this paper is to propose a decision support methodological framework for the analysis, graphical visualization and evaluation of social sustainability of architectural projects. It combines three methods: first, Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats (SWOT) analysis, to get a guided understanding of the project and detect the best design strategies; second, the Stakeholder Analysis (SA), to develop a strategic view of the actors involved; third, the Social Return of the Investment (SROI) as a methodological tool for social impact assessment. This framework, presented through the discussion of some project solutions, helps us to analyse the architectural material effect of social sustainability and answer the question: Are we investing properly and creating spaces sufficiently functional to build better conditions for our community and our city?

PEREMAJAAN KAWASAN PASAR BAUNTUNG BANJARBARU (REDEVELOPMENT)

Banjarbaru Bauntung Market is a market that has been established since 1965 which until now has experienced an increase in the number of traders, especially street vendors. This market is located on Jalan Lanan, right in the center of Banjarbaru City. Bauntung market is experiencing a decline which can be seen from the buildings and facilities inside that are not maintained. In addition, due to the increase in street vendors, zoning and circulation in this market are irregular. The right architectural problem solving for the Banjarbaru Bauntung Market, namely, the redevelopment of the Banjarbaru Bauntung Market Area which accommodates the needs of users (traders and buyers) by adjusting the dawn market, activities, zoning, and circulation, as to make a clean, safe, and comfortable market area. Programmatic architectural methods to achieve a clean, safe, and comfortable market by focusing on market activities at dawn, zoning, and circulation are the preferred approaches used in solving architectural problems in the Bauntung Banjarbaru Market. This is manifested in the circulation arranged according to use, optimal zoning both inside and outside, and dawn market activities that are easier to manage.

M. Yusi Market is a regional market development plan from the government to improve the trade sector in the South Hulu Sungai regency. Kandangan Market as the main market has been unable to be developed to accommodate the large number of traders and the market location provided is not maximally utilized by traders because of the uncomfortable atmosphere because the application of market prototypes is not in accordance with local community buying and selling behavior.

SMP ISLAM TERPADU INSAN MADANI BANJARMASIN

The increasing number of population citizens in Banjarmasin from year to year has an effect on the increasing need for educational facilities, in terms of quality and quantity. Besides the government, the private sector also provides formal education facilities. Insan Madani Integrated Islamic Junior High School Banjarmasin is one of the private schools in Banjarmasin. But the Bina Insan Madani Foundation has not provided a school building that complies with government standards. It is necessary to design Insan Madani Integrated Islamic Junior High School Banjarmasin in accordance with the standards and create an educational atmosphere that can support the learning process. The Architectural Programming method of William Pena was chosen to solve the architectural problem. The Qur’an Educative Space Concept is a design of SMPIT Insan Madani Banjarmasin which makes every room in this school a place of learning. Qur’an Educative space is applied to outer space and inner space, so students can study in every room and memorize the Qur’an well in the school

Finding Opportunity in Complexity: A Case for Tackling More, Not Less, in Beginning Design Studio

This paper addresses the understudied educational space of what is commonly understood as the preprofessional portfolio- development studio. It describes a design pedagogy developed to serve preprofessional and non-design-major students from liberal-arts colleges pursuing admission to a first-professional graduate degree program in architecture. Starting from the premise that in complexity lies myriad opportunities for discovery and growth, this studio establishes a robust platform for this unique group of students to encounter the richness and expansiveness of the discipline, and to understand and explore architecture’s capacities as an agent of positive change in the world. It is further argued that what a complex, case study-based design project facilitates for these beginning design students is a depth and richness of engagement, and that like a great work of literature, a complex architectural problem asks students to wrestle all at once with its many layers—with its clarity and contradictions, its strengths and shortcomings—and to evaluate its evolving place in, and meaning to society. In this light each student’s efforts to define their own approach can be shown to reveal insights not only about the object of study, but also about themselves and their own nascent interests in design, architecture, and the built environment.

Iron and Light: The “Great Architectural Problem” and the Skeleton Frame, 1879–1892

This chapter describes major structures built from 1879 to 1892, many of which used skeletal frames that offered greater plan efficiency and improved daylighting through narrower, iron-reinforced brick piers. The five-story building erected by William Le Baron Jenney for dry-goods merchant Levi Z. Leiter at Wells and Madison has traditionally been considered Chicago's earliest skeletal exterior, though it was only a tentative step. The building served as a shop and storehouse, and light was of paramount concern, especially given the shallow corner lot. Jenney worked to reduce the exterior of the building as much as possible by supplementing traditional brick piers with iron columns.
