Library in public and social facilities such as schools, mosques, churches and training centers has never become the main priority service unless it is intended accordingly. The good thing is, the library in such facilities always merges with other social functions such as special classes, gathering room or even dining room which is an addition to its original function: the reading room. Department of Architecture Universitas Indonesia, together with “Smandel 95 Berbagi Kasih Program” has conducted (has been conducting kalau aktivitasnya masih berlangsung) community engagement program, funded by the Directorate of Research and Community Engagement Universitas Indonesia, in an orphanage in Jakarta, namely Yayasan Tanjung Barat. The aim of this activity is to increase the occupant’s hobby in reading without renouncing the original activities through an energy-efficient and biophilic concept. Software-based lighting simulation and biophilic intervention concept were conducted to get the optimum result, a part of the design development through multi-discussions with the occupants and observations. Through this study, the energy efficiency from lighting intervention and the biophilic design presence in this library can be increased by 59% and 69% respectively.
Histories mark the making of nations and traditions of a country, nevertheless Indonesia. Artifacts displayed in a museum has to follow recommended guidelines for preservation purposes. Unfortunately, the visual comfort of visitors is often neglected. On the one hand, displayed exhibits require minimal exposure from UV light for preservation, and on the other hand, human eye need a decent amount of brightness to keep their visual comfort. This paper focuses on maintaining overall brightness for artifacts preservation purposes while at the same time, keep the acuity of visitors’ visual comfort. Museum Keramik; and Museum Wayang in Jakarta were chosen as case studies in this paper. Lighting intensity towards artifacts will be measured and to be compared with a questionnaire by visitors and respondents. Comparisons of both data will be used to determine the effect of perceived brightness towards the use of lighting throughout the artifacts in the museums. By presenting visual comfort in a museum environment and at the same time preserving the artifacts, a substantial increase in visitors’ satisfaction is to be expected.
