Abstract

ABSTRAK This paper explaines the significance of eco-regionalism approach for formulating the model of low costenergy-based tropical city. Firstly, it describes about the eco-regionalism approach as a basic concept for urban open space design. Secondly, it explains the characteristics and efforts of the open space design based on the tropical urban environment and energy aspects. Thirdly, it proposes some alternative model for ecological linkage of urban open space and the application of the model in some case studies. This approach analyze elements of urban open space in integrated citywide linkage. From this analysis, it identifies: first, the typology and characteristics of urban open space patterns between the buildings and the design of horizontal texture finishing of urban landscape and vertical texture finishing of building surfacesand second, their ecological linkage of land use, open space, greenery and water system. By analysing these elements, the steps for the low cost energy-based tropical aspects of bioclimatic design of building and urban open space could be then formulated.
