INDONESIA: Komunitas independen atau yang biasa dikenal dengan komunitas indie sudah berkembang pesat saat ini, terutama musik indie, film indie dan tari indie. Komunitas ini didominasi oleh anak muda dari rentang usia 15-30 tahun sebagai basis massa terbesar mereka. Komunitas indie telah tersebar di seluruh kota besar di Indonesia. Dapat dikatakan bahwa persebaran komunitas indie sangat cepat. Cepatnya pesebaran ini di kalangan ini didorong oleh kebebasan komunitas indie sendiri dalam berkarya. Beberapa dari mereka bahkan telah diakui karyanya dibeberapa negara, misalnya saja Singapura, Jerman, Inggris, dan beberapa negara lainnya. Sayangnya, di negara sendiri mereka kurang dikenal. Di Indonesia mereka berjuang memperoleh eksistensi komunitas mereka sendiri dengan cara mengelolanya sendiri ataupun berada di bawah label independen. Begitupun ketika mereka berusaha memperlihatkan karya mereka, tidak banyak masyarakat yang mengetahui, dan hanya peminat karya mereka saja yang menghadir...

Tahfidz Islamic boarding school is a traditional boarding school that focuses on learning Islam and Quran. Recently, the need for this kind of school for junior and senior high school is increasing in Indonesia. One of the cities that has a high demand for that kind of education is Nganjuk. Nganjuk has many traditional Tahfidz boarding schools that are already running for decades. The design of the existing tahfidz schools is not suitable for modern life, while people nowadays search the school in a contemporary design. There is a paradox in this statement that people want a modern design for a traditional education method. The extending tradition design approach is the appropriate answer to this problem. This study aims to find the proper design for tahfidz boarding school using extending tradition design approach. The method for this design approach used tradition as the basic idea for the design and modified it to be suitable for modern society. The concept of the design is a tradition of togetherness, the culture of continuity, and tradition of socializing. The idea is appropriate for the tahfidz and the Islamic tradition values in modern life.

The Day after means metaphorical meaning for hope, better architecture design that promotes a new design mindset. The Covid-19 crisis challenged and made us restart the perspective in architectural planning and design towards mitigating epidemic disasters. Design of Batu Agriculture Creative Hub (BACH), a creative and collaborative space for agriculture Start-Up, has considered adaptation strategies for these conditions. Inspired by the smart building strategy, especially the smart envelope for building performance toward resiliency. The smart envelope concept for BACH named agcrea (agriculture + creative), an adaptive facade design, transforms a visual representation of the identity of the local character of the Batu city logo. Kinetic moving panels respond to climate dynamics, it open and close follow the sun and wind conditions. Tested with Ecotect, the pattern of movement of the façade panels makes adjustments to the balance of natural light and ventilation to support health and...

During the current pandemic, the New Normal Life policy was created with live to form new habits. One of the New Normal Life policies is Physical Distancing, Hygiene, and Personal Protective Equipment. This paper explains how an architectural approach, namely Smart Building-integrated by Islamic values, can be applied to building design in the New Normal Life era. This study's method uses a qualitative descriptive approach to describe how the Smart building integration with the Islamic values can be applied (moral ethic, rejection of imitation, and ijtihad helpful). Some are resulting in innovation for implementing New Normal Life in public building designs, namely Batu Agro Creative-Hub. The system's result is found to create a different way of circulation in building, different orientations, flexible patterns in the public room, smart envelope and wall to make comfort and hygienic building with smart in material, and zoning spare from other users.

Urban areas have the character of increasingly dense buildings and less land that can be used for green infrastructure. So that the option to increase green open space is increasingly difficult. Along with the population growth in Kampung Arab and the low number of public facilities, the environment became very crowded and have less adequate public open spaces for the residents who lived here. Kampung Arab itself is a settlement dominated by Muslim residents who have been in this area for a long time. This study aims to analyze the feasibility of applying the pocket garden concept to Islamic residential kasawan which is currently in a congested condition. The first step is to collect data from observations, surveys and literature selection. Then, the method used to analyze is discourse analysis and selective criteria. These two processes show the results in the form of the benefits of the pocket garden concept in settlements, a map of the location at a point in Kampung Arab which ca...

This paper adopts a content analysis method to achieve the research objective of “Islamic Housing Typology.” From the content analysis, it is disco...
