The subconscious thinking governs the way the built environment is experienced and organised by its inhabitants. The collection of articles in this issue of ARSNET explores how our subconscious thinking provides alternative spatial narrative and design methods. The explorations in this issue highlight the different conditions and realms of the subc...
This paper outlines pedagogical strategies in architectural design studio to construct awareness of local material practices towards architecture which rooted in its environmental context. Current architectural discourse perceives the notion of material as something separate from its environmental context. Through a joint design workshop conducted...
This article examines the experiences of living with smoke in the context of traditional domestic food-smoking enterprises. Smoke is largely discussed in architectural discourse as a pollutant that must be removed from the built environment. This article argues that the investigation of traditional food-smoking practices potentially shifts such dis...
This paper explores the understanding of architectural spaces driven by the knowledge that animals communicate by modifying the environment, in which they live. The way that animals communicate by modifying the environment forms an interaction, which is referred to as stigmergy, a mediated form of animal interaction. The paper elaborates on the pro...
Discussion of a sensory-driven architecture emphasises the need for a deeper and more holistic understanding of space. The collection of articles in this issue of ARSNET presents a variety of methods for engaging with the sensorial experience. These articles explore the process of measuring, interpreting, tracing, and constructing the spatial eleme...
This article investigated montage to understand and arrange cinematic architecture through operations of spatial reconstruction to present a sequence of spatial experiences. Montage is a part of discourses related to cinematic, film, and architecture. This article explored the montage approach as the primary basis in the architectural design proces...
Abstrak_ Artikel ini menginvestigasi mengenai arsitektur yang tidak terkondisi, yakni desain dengan ruang dan elemen arsitektur yang hadir tanpa keteraturan dan tanpa perencanaan sebelumnya. Pelibatan masyarakat menciptakan potensi variasi dalam membangun ruang dan elemen arsitektur yang bersifat non-conformity (ketidaksesuaian), dan dengan demikia...
This
paper explores the strategies and spatiality of neighborhood food coproduction
during the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia. The COVID-19
pandemic has created global food instability, requiring collective strategies
to source and transform food for people in need. This paper is particularly
interested in the neighborhood-driven...
Exploration of stories in architectural discourse has yet to generate a structured discussion in the methods of its operations as part of a design endeavour. This issue of ARSNET presents a collection of articles that demonstrates a variety of everyday stories emerging from the experience of space and objects, and outlines the methodologies of thei...
The study investigates the rising utilisations of open domestic spaces for living activities during the COVID-19 outbreak. As a living machine, the house is constituted by elements through a particular organisation for the wellbeing of the users, which includes its open spaces. The study points out that the discussion of the role and utilisations o...
Theory and practice are often seen in opposition with one another in some architectural dialogues, despite their significant transformative capabilities. The first issue of ARSNET aims to dissolve such opposing relation by exploring how theory and practice weave and intersect in various architectural design inquiries. The articles in this issue inv...
This paper explores inscription as a projection of the spatial dynamics of a setting, beyond a historical or cultural symbol in a context, and highlights that inscription—a written or carved message on a surface—is an element that immaterially demonstrates a more in-depth narrative of an interior. This paper focuses on exploring inscriptions embedd...
This study investigated the utilization of currently available energy
and its implication on the ecological production of architecture materials. The
study focused on the sun-drying process used by craftsmen in the traditional
brickmaking process, arguing that such a practice demonstrates ways of utilizing
current energy that are informed by local...
This paper reflects the shifting understanding of context in a data-based architectural studio. With the school closure in the beginning of the COVID pandemic, the overall learning process is largely conducted online. Big Data becomes an important discourse that provides some benefits and opportunities which transform the design and learning proces...
This paper argues the importance of traditional, local bricks-making production as a convergence of craftsman, material, and environments. The relationship between those three aspects brings meanings to the brick, emphasise on the process of making beyond its property as a physical material. This paper focuses on the forming phase of the brick-maki...
This paper expands the theoretical understanding of building layers proposed by Brand (1995) by investigating changes in the domestic environment during the COVID-19 pandemic. Brand’s layer framework breaks a built environment into “shearing layers” to examine its adaptation processes. This paper argues that ways of managing the risk of virus trans...
This paper employs the perspective of food as the basis of understanding domestic materiality in a vernacular context. Current discourse of domestic materiality tends to perceive understanding of material within a localised and enclosed context. Food demonstrates a potential to expand such arrangement, bridging the connection between domestic and t...
This paper employs the perspective of cooking to investigate the
transformative processes of material as part of architecture materiality. Current
architecture materiality discourse has not sufficiently addressed these
processes and therefore tends to produce a simplified view of architectural
material as ready-to-use elements. Organising these pro...
This paper investigates the concept of ‘passage territories’ (Sennett, 2006), de ned as living spaces constructed from one’s passage of movement from one separate space to another, and how it extends the discussion of interiority in contested contexts. Through observations of living spaces and the narrative accounts of dwellers’ in Kampung Pulo and...
This article describes how autistic children experience space dedicated for sensory integration (SI) therapy activities and how the idea of topology enables a thorough reading of their experiences. A topological approach is used to investigate the SI activity space through the narratives of children’s activities. Rather than considered as a collect...
This paper addresses the challenges in developing design ideas of learning environment for primary school children that could promote creativity. In particular it illustrates how the boxes as simple three dimensional objects could be constructed into a system that offers various possibilities of utilization for learning activities. The possible arr...
This paper argues that the ideas of self, waste and space are interconnected and that they influence each other in a society's everyday life. It addresses the issues of belonging and identity to explain how the connection among self, waste and space could determine waste disposal practice. A study in a low-income urban neighbourhood in Jakarta, Ind...
This paper illustrates a physical improvement programme in a primary school library through a participatory process involving children in designing and renovating the space. The improvement of library space has contributed positively in promoting children's active use of the library space. The involvement of children in the process has also promote...
