Prior research on roof tile waste treatment has attempted to find the appropriate technology to reuse old roof tile waste by create wall cladding materials from it. Through exploration and experimentation, a treatment method has been discovered to transform the tile fragments into artificial stone that resembles the shape of coral. This baked clay artificial stone material is then processed as a decorative element for vertical surfaces that are not load-bearing, such as on the interior and exterior walls of a building. Before applying the fragments as wall tiles, several steps must be taken: 1) Blunting, which changes the look of tile fragments using a machine created specifically to blunt the roof-tile fragment edges, 2) Closing the pores of the blunted fragments as a finishing step that can be done with a transparent coat or a solid color of paint, 3) Planting the transformed roof-tile fragments on a prepared tile body made of concrete. In this study, the second phase is done using the method of ceramics glazing at a temperature of 700 °C. The finishing step is the strength of this product because it produces a rich color artificial pebble. AbstractDaur Ulang Limbah Genteng sebagai Bahan Pelapis Dinding. Penelitian pengolahan limbah genteng yang telah dilakukan ini merupakan upaya penemuan teknologi tepat guna untuk memanfaatkan limbah pecahan genteng menjadi material finishing dinding. Melalui eksplorasi dan eksperimentasi ditemukan suatu metode pengolahan limbah genteng dengan cara mengubah pecahan genteng menjadi batu tiruan (artificial stone) yang menyerupai bentuk batu koral. Batu tiruan berbahan tanah liat bakar ini selanjutnya diolah sebagai material penghias pada permukaan vertikal yang tidak menerima beban seperti pada dinding interior dan eksterior. Sebelum diaplikasikan sebagai ubin pelapis dinding, tahapan yang harus dilakukan adalah: 1) Proses penumpulan (blunting), yakni mengubah raut pecahan genteng dengan alat yang diciptakan khusus untuk menumpulkan raut pecahan genteng. 2) Proses penutupan pori sebagai finishing yang dapat dilakukan dengan bahan transparan atau menggunakan bahan berwarna, 3) Penanaman pecahan genteng pada badan ubin semen. Dalam penelitian ini, pada tahap dua dilakukan dengan glaze keramik pada suhu 700 °C. Finishing (penutupan pori) menjadi kelebihan dari produk ini karena menghasilkan koral tiruan yang kaya warna.

The initial house provided by the government of Indonesia for low and medium family hence should be in affordable process is called Rumah Inti Tumbuh (RIT). The Indonesian word tumbuh means -to grow‖, indicating that these houses are expected to be transformed, as a representation of growing, following to the owners' financial improvement and spatial needs. This article is based on the second stage of the research on RIT. The first stage of the research observed units in the Condong Catur Public Housing project in Yogyakarta Province, which was initiated in the 1980s. The findings from the first stage prompted a further research question related to the tendency to transform newer public housing. This article discusses the design transformation of public housing units that have been occupied for shorter periods of time than those units featured in the previous study. The current research employed qualitative methods by observing the occupants of the Wonorejo Public Housing project and the transformations they have made to their homes to meet their expanding spatial needs. The observed units had been occupied for less than five years at the time this research was conducted. Data collection consisted of observing the units, interviewing the occupants, and gaining information from secondary data resources such as the literature and the blue print of the initial design. The observation focused on the development direction and zoning pattern of the units. The research found that the occupants tended to maintain the existing zoning, enlarge semi-public and service spaces, and prioritize development at the back of the housing site. The findings of this second stage research show similar tendencies with the previous research; therefore, these trends could be considered predictive factors that could inform initial RIT design.
