A home can be more than just a house or a place to live in. A home is a place where a person can express his feelings privately (personal) and socially (public). As in Chinese traditional houses, a home can give a concrete form of significant ethical relations between the horizontal hierarchy (within the family) and vertical hierarchy (with God). The shape of the traditional Chinese house has a unique arrangement of space. The house has a wall to protect them from intruders and bad conditions. The family's ancestor altar in the main hall which is connected to the bedrooms reveal the relationship of the family, and the courtyard represents a space to show their relationship with God. The arrangement of the living spaces show how they were reterritorializing their private and public spaces. Due to the flocking of population in Singapore, lack of space and modernity, the Chinese Singaporeans are rapidly replacing one-story traditional homes to multi-leveled apartments. Old and big extended family patterns like in the traditional Chinese houses are no longer present. They are breaking up the family into separate living units and reterritorializing their private and public space. Reterritorializing means migrating their previous territory of space and making a new territory in the new place. The examples of this phenomenon of reterritorializing of space is: putting God's worship outside their apartment's door or the corridor and putting the service area (kitchen) that used to be in the private area to the public area of the house.
Many previous studies regarding computer aided architectural design (CAAD) software for design have been developed with reference to how the CAAD software (in this case: AutoCAD, SketchUp and Rhinoceros) will benefit the students while learning to 2D-3D modeling design. The purpose of this study aims to identify the first year students’ perspective regarding the 2D-3D modeling software usability. A total of 127 first year interior design students participated in the study. After finishing the course about CAAD software, they completed a survey using System Usability Scale (SUS) and polling method. After that the data was analyzed and measured. Statically, the findings show that there a difference usability between SketchUp – AutoCAD, but not so different between SketchUp – Rhinoceros and AutoCAD – Rhinoceros; secondly SketchUp is less usability than the AutoCAD and Rhinoceros. But using the survey polling, the findings show that most students will be using SketchUp for their 3D modeling design. Possibly not occurring significant result is because: the students may not really understand the System Usability Scale (the greater showed negative usability) and ambiguous perception in the questionnaire statement
Various forms of quarantine and social restrictions to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted lifestyle. WFH has emerged as a growing trend in this new normal era. The implementation of WFH results in all work-related activities becoming home-centred. This study aims to analyse the pheasant and find out the effect of household appliance use on energy consumption during the implementation of WFH. The questionnaire survey was conducted in April 2020 and it collected 215 responses from residents of Indonesia, during the pandemic which was distributed online. The data were analysed using a multiple regression analysis with SPSS to determine the relationship between variables. The results showed that the length of WFH time affected an increase of energy consumption especially from the use of home computer, internet, rice cooker, AC, and water needs. In addition, the increase that happened also depends on the population living and the size of the building they live in. If this continues, it could lead to the risk of an energy crisis. Strategies related to proper distribution and energy demand are needed to build resilience and form a sustainable society.
Kafe Tanamera merupakan bangunan cagar budaya/heritage dimana memiliki nilai sejarah. Pengalaman panca indra masih kurang diperhatikan oleh desainer maupun pihak kafe. Efek sensorik pada manusia dan lingkungan sangat penting dalam mendesain elemen-elemen pada interior ruang. Indra penglihatan secara umum memiliki peranan yang paling dominan dalam interior, namun indra non-visual kurang diperhatikan. Rangsangan 4 panca indra yaitu pendengaran, penciuman, peraba, dan penglihatan memberi pengaruh emosional dalam pengalaman ruang. Pengalaman ruang sangat penting dalam mempertahankan ketertarikan pengunjung. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk memahami pentingnya penerapan teori sensory/panca indra pada elemen interior bangunan heritage kafe Tanamera. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah kualitatif-kuantitatif deskriptif dengan acuan dasar teori Joy Monice M dan Vodvarka dalam buku Sensory Design serta Xue Yu. Berdasarkan analisis yang telah dilakukan, maka dapat disimpulkan bahwa pengalaman panca indra memiliki peran penting bagi manusia dalam mempersepsi ruang. Pengalaman yang melibatkan panca indra dapat diterapkan pada 9 elemen interior. Secara keseluruhan, kafe Tanamera terdapat beberapa pengalaman yang melibatkan panca indra pada elemen interior ruang. Pengunjung kafe Tanamera yang merasakan beragam pengalaman melalui penerapan elemen interior, yaitu elemen enviroment,
The spread and pandemic of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) that is currently happening in the world, has led to new policy steps in the security of public spaces to reduce the transmission of COVID-19 and protect public health. There is new adaptation in the policies while using space like limiting the use of public spaces, increasing social distancing between people or creating territory. Territory means specific area where are claimed or maintained (can be physically, through ruler or symbols). Territory can give a sense of security to the users. Therefore, this paper give insight and rethinking the territory concept as sense of security in interior public space and built environment where people expect to see strangers in this space. The methods in this paper are literature review method by collecting and synthesizing previous research using integrative approach. For the result is territory concept achieved as part of protection to the users in the build environment with mechanisms that should be applied in each type: the boundary between areas; limitation to the symbolic; supervision and control of space.
