Memahami Interior Sebagai Penghubung

Desain interior merupakan ilmu yang sangat dekat dengan kebutuhan dan kompleksitas kehidupan manusia. Namun, karena latar belakang cikal bakalnya profesi desainer interior sebagai ahli dekorasi dan pengisi ruang, serta istilah ―interior‖ yang secara harafiah sering diartikan sebagai ―ruang dalam‖, pemaknaan dan praktik desain interior seringkali menjadi sangat terbatas pada pengisi atau dekorasi di dalam batasan fisik yang telah terbentuk oleh arsitektur. Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk mengubah persepsi dan pandangan umum tentang konsep interior, yaitu sebagai ―penghubung,‖ atau penjembatan bersama dengan arsitektur yang sangat penting antara manusia dan lingkungan hidupnya, sehingga metode dan kreativitas dalam praktik desain interior maupun arsitektur bisa lebih kreatif dari apa yang seringkali terjadi saat ini. Tulisan ini merupakan hasil penelitian kualitatif dengan metode kepustakaan dan studi kasus. Hasil pembahasan merujuk kepada beberapa metode atau teknik pengolahan interior dan arsitektur yang dapat digunakan dalam praktik desain dengan konsep interior sebagai ―penghubung,‖ yaitu: mengaburkan batas fisik, manipulasi programatik, inovasi kontinuitas material dan konfigurasi elemen arsitektur menjadi elemen interior. Dengan memanipulasi ruang secara fisik maupun konseptual, lingkup desain interior tidak lagi menjadi sekedar pengisi ruang dan juga tidak terbatasi oleh lingkup arsitektur tetapi merupakan ilmu yang memiliki peran yang sangat penting bersama arsitektur dalam menghubungkan manusia dengan lingkungan hidupnya

Connecting Asian Heritage Conservation to the Idea of Performative Regionalism: A Case of Community-Enhancing Design Interventions in the Historical Art District of Liulichang, Beijing

Witnessing the active modernisation in Asian cities, there is an urgent need to conserve their rich heritage and diverse regional identities. However, as in the case of China, there is a stark contrast between the Asian perspective of conservation and that of the West, in terms of the character of design interventions produced and its purposes, which has frequently invited negative criticisms from heritage conservation professionals. Hence, the objective of this paper is to explore the interventions done on Asian heritage sites, taking the Liulichang Art District in Beijing as the case study, and analyze the positive influence they have brought. The paper starts by distinguishing the Asian values of authenticity in conservation that differ from the West and how these principles have been applied in Liulichang, a famous ancient street known for the selling and practice of Chinese painting. The paper further elaborates on the importance of community building in the process of learning and appreciating the art of Chinese painting and analyses the positive impact made by the design interventions, particularly in terms of community engagement and accommodation of traditional cultural practices. Results reflect that the Asian perspective of conservation do not always follow the principle of minimum intervention but how contemporary interventions could be merged into the heritage site to revive regional communities and cultural activities, connecting Asian architectural conservation with the design approach coined by Barbara Allen (2007) as Performative Regionalism, hence developing the idea and practice of this approach as a result of the discussion

Tata Bangunan Rumah Tinggal Daerah Pecinan Di Kota Probolinggo Jawa Timur

Probolinggo was one of the important administrative trade cities in Java. Long before the Dutch reign, Chinese diasporas had settled along the Banger river in the east of the city bringing along with them their traditions and religion.

Development of Modular Outdoor Furniture Product Using Lightweight Concrete for Public Parks in Surabaya

The development of public parks into green city facilities in Surabaya has triggered the need of outdoor furniture designs that can resist the tropical wet and dry weather conditions while also having a certain mobility to support flexible park arrangement. However, present furniture designs made of concrete material are generally heavy and immovable. Flexible designs are needed for various activities that can take place at the same time such as sitting and playing, and to support changes in arrangement to keep the green open spaces attractive from time to time. This research develops the idea of a modular outdoor furniture design using cellular lightweight concrete (CLC) as the main material as a result from observing its resistance towards weather change and its relative light weight. It starts with analysis of problems, formulation of design concept, creation of design alternatives, selection of design, calculation of mouldings, adaptation of design to the mouldings and production of a scaled mock-up using CLC. Findings of this research reveal that the modular design along with the CLC material used not only support the flexibility of change in function and arrangement but also make these furniture resistant to the hot and humid weather of Surabaya

Modular outdoor furniture product for new normal public space

EVALUASI TANGGA DARURAT DI GEDUNG P UNIVERSITAS KRISTEN PETRA SURABAYA

Gedung P Universitas Kristen Petra adalah gedung bertingkat sembilan dengan luasan yang cukup besar. Gedung ini Dilengkapi dengan dua tangga darurat yaitu pada bagian barat dan timur gedung. Tangga darurat bagian barat menghubungkan lantai 9 sampai dengan lantai 1, sedangkan tangga darurat bagian timur menghubungkan lantai 7 sampai dengan lantai 1. Peletakan tangga darurat di gedung P telah dirancang dengan mempertimbangkan standar-standar yang ada. Namun telah terjadi banyak perubahaan program ruang di gedung P sejak beroperasi pada tahun 1998 yang berakibat pada perubahan akses menuju tangga darurat, maka perlu dievaluasi kembali apakah akses menuju tangga darurat yang direncanakan diawal pembangunan masih sesuai standar setelah perubahan tersebut. Di samping itu, kondisi interior tangga darurat kurang diperhatikan, dengan demikian perlu adanya evaluasi bagaimana kondisi interior tangga darurat sehingga ketika dibutuhkan, tangga darurat dapat berfungsi maksimal. Dari hasil penelitian dapat disimpulkan bahwa akibat dari perubahanperubahan program ruang maka akses dan sirkulasi menuju tangga darurat pada beberapa lantai menjadi tertutup/tidak lancar. Area tangga darurat dan aksesnya menjadi sangat tidak teratur karena adanya penambahan ruang dan perubahan fungsi koridor tangga darurat menjadi tempat penyimpanan barang. Kondisi beberapa unsur interior seperti dinding, pintu, lampu, jendela dan kelengkapannya sebagian besar dalam kondisi rusak, kotor atau tidak terawat. Kondisi tersebut membuat tangga darurat menjadi kurang memenuhi syarat sebagai jalur penyelamatan diri. Kata kunci: Evaluasi, tangga darurat, persyaratan tangga darurat
