“…During the empathic experience, students easily identified the difficulties in completing the task and sub-tasks, however, despite using a kit to simulate the disability, they had difficulties imagining innovative and disruptive ideas for meaningful solutions. This may confirm that empathic methods are more efficient in the early stages as proposed by Tellez F. et al (2019) "Empathic design has limitations and is not well suited for addressing every experience design problem (...) and is more valuable in the early stages of the design process when opportunities are being identified and new concepts proposed (Tellez F. et al, 2019, p. 6). Most of the products or ideas proposed by the students as viable solutions already exist or/and can be bought in commercial stores.…”

Challenges around inclusive design and social design consciousness require understanding the thoughts and feelings of the people around us. The role of empathy in the design process is widely recognized in the literature, increasing the attention of researchers and design educators to include empathic design as a research approach in product design education. Developing empathy through experiencing others’ life provides opportunities for students to understand how people with disabilities live, feel and experience their everyday life. Product design students need to gain socially conscious awareness and improve their empathic horizon. According to the literature, through training and experience, the empathic horizon of designers can be extended and changed over time. To acquire more empathy with people, simulation devices or wearable kits can be designed to mimic the weaknesses and limitations of people with disabilities. This paper describes an empathic design process where the students designed and prototyped an empathic wearable kit and perform the task independently. Putting on ‘other shoes’ the students record the experience in video and use the think-aloud technique to communicate the difficulties felt during the task. By learning to empathize, students can improve their abilities to recognize and make interpretations of what people think, feel, and need. Empathy practice during product development can provide empathic collect probes to help in students' design process decisions.

“…Dalam arsitektur, terminologi arsitektur empati diperkenalkan oleh Rayport dan Leonard-Barton. Target dari arsitektur empati adalah mengidentifikasi kebutuhan terpendam klien untuk membuat desain yang klien tidak sadar sebenarnya dibutuhkan (Tellez-Bohorquez, 2019). Hal tersebut dapat terlihat dengan cara memperhatikan perilaku dan aktivitas klien.…”

Located in West Jakarta, Tarumanagara University not only has students from within Jakarta, but also from another city. A number of students live far away from Tarumanagara University, so many prefer to stay at shared house. The reasons students move into the shared house varies, a few of them are time efficiency and productivity. But the shared house mostly only generally designed, consider meeting basic needs, such as sleeping, eating, taking a shower, and studying. While there are actually a few needs that haven’t been fulfilled in only one room or one shared house. For example, not all shared house provides a place to socialize or to build a community, and a lack of room for students from various majors. Community is expected to form by providing room that is needed where it can boost student’s productivity. Therefore, a dormitory design which can adapt especially to Tarumanagara University’s student needs is needed, from basic needs to other facilities that will boost productivity and form a community. This research is using empathic architecture approach. Data were collected thorough a primer sources like surveys and interviews, secondary resources like books, literature, and website. This project focuses on building a dormitory next to Tarumanagara University, by providing space for students to live temporarily, and facilities that can boost student productivity, either dormitory students or Tarumanagara University students generally. Keywords: dormitory; empathy; community; students; productivity Abstrak Berlokasi di Jakarta Barat, Universitas Tarumanagara tidak hanya memiliki mahasiswa dari Jakarta, namun juga berbagai kota lainnya. Sejumlah mahasiswa bertempat tinggal jauh dari Universitas Tarumanagara, maka banyak yang lebih memilih untuk tinggal di kos. Alasan mahasiswa pindah ke kos beragam, diantaranya adalah efisiensi waktu dan produktivitas. Namun, tempat kos yang disewakan kebanyakan hanya dirancang secara general, dengan memikirkan pemenuhan kebutuhan dasar saja, seperti tidur, makan, mandi, maupun belajar. Sedangkan sebenarnya masih ada kebutuhan mahasiswa yang tidak terpenuhi dalam satu kamar atau satu tempat kos. Misalnya, tidak semua tempat kos menyediakan ruang untuk bersosialisasi atau mendukung terbentuknya komunitas, maupun kurangnya ruang untuk memenuhi kebutuhan mahasiswa dari beranekaragam jurusan. Diharapkan terbentuknya komunitas dengan penyediaan ruang dimana dapat mendorong produktivitas mahasiswa. Oleh karena itu dibutuhkan adanya suatu desain asrama yang dapat menyesuaikan dengan kebutuhan, khususnya bagi mahasiswa Universitas Tarumanagara, dari kebutuhan dasar hingga fasilitas lain yang mendukung produktivitas serta dapat membentuk komunitas. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan arsitektur empati. Data diperoleh melalui sumber data primer seperti survei dan wawancara, serta sumber data sekunder seperti buku, literatur, jurnal, dan web. Proyek ini berfokus pada pembangunan asrama yang bersebelahan dengan Universitas Tarumanagara, selain menyediakan tempat bagi mahasiswa untuk tinggal sementara, juga menyediakan fasilitas-fasilitas yang dapat mendukung produktivitas mahasiswa penghuni asrama, maupun mahasiswa Universitas Tarumanagara secara general.
