Depok, a city in the south of Jakarta, has developed very rapidly in the last 30 years. Until the end of the 1970s, Depok was dominated by agricultural land, but now it is replaced by residential, commercial and services areas. The dynamic development of Depok has been followed by the transformation of the architecture of the city. In the process, the transformation occurs without control. The change of the architecture of Depok city does not only affect visual issue, but also the issue of declining of city amenity, and the emergence of social and environmental issues. The transformation, as a result of modernity, has background of political, economic, and social factors. Modernity does not only mean the present or the distinction from previous periods, but also breaking the tradition of the architecture of Depok city. We formulated a clear concept and foundation based on the current researches and literature, to further examine the issue of the transformation of the architecture of...
COLONIAL AND TRADITIONAL URBAN SPACE IN JAVA: A MORPHOLOGICAL STUDY OF TEN CITIES
Most of morphological studies of cities in Java tended to place the elements of traditional urban space – such as Alun-alun, Mosque, Palace and Market – as the main elements of city. Other elements such as the colonial urban space – Resident Office, Fort, Church, Park and so on – are often considered separately or placed as a complementary part. Through a morphological study by exploring ten cities in Java, I found both elements of traditional and colonial urban space were set in a unique and various pattern. There are some findings indicating that the elements of colonial urban space significantly influence the city structure as well as those of the traditional ones. Therefore, understanding the urban space form in Java should include and put elements of both of traditional and colonial urban space as an integral part. Keywords: Colonial urban-space, traditional urban-space.
Architectural Character Analysis of Senen Area, Central Jakarta
Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research), 2023
The Senen area is quite well known by all circles of society, especially the station, the used clothes market and used books which are the main attraction or generator of the area. Many people considered Senen as a trading area in the past, but now the identity and image of this area is starting to shift. Triggered by the uncontrolled development of the city. The Senen area grows in heterogeneity, making it lose its character and values.Development and modernity are being proclaimed, such as the construction of JPOs and busway stops that are connected to regional nodes, but in its development, the architectural history of the city has escaped attention. There are historical buildings that have not been empowered, the relocation of the area of used kwitang books and the emergence of new buildings which quite affect the visual character of the area. Basically, the development of the city cannot be avoided but the artifacts owned can be maintained and strengthened, through the history of identity and architectural values contained. Proper arrangement, management and coordination within the urban fabric can strengthen the image and identity of the area.Senen is expected to be able to fulfill its function as a place for community service by having intact character values. The method applied in research is exploratorydescriptive as a tool in analyzing character, history and its constituent elements, while the rationalisticqualitative method is used as a tool in forming arguments or a logical understanding of the results of the analysis.

Main Building as a Central Courtyard Pattern in Lasem, Central Java, Indonesia
International Journal of Sustainable Development and Planning, 2023
Lasem, a city of a thousand gates often referred to as "Petit Chinois" by foreign tourists, possesses extraordinary historical heritage as the former capital, making it a Heritage City. This is one of the reasons for choosing Lasem as a research study location. This article contributes by identifying typical spatial patterns in Lasem. In this study, the focus of observation is Chinese settlements located in Babagan Village, Soditan Village, Karangturi Village, and Gedongmulyo Village, where these areas are the locations for the development of Chinese settlements in Lasem. This paper aims to understand the development of the typology of Chinese residential courtyards in Lasem and their survival to the present day, so that they can become part of the national cultural heritage. The research method used is descriptive qualitative, involving literature studies, field surveys, and analysis using graph access. The results found that the typology of the morphological floor plans of the Chinese settlement houses in Lasem differs in accessgraphy from their country of origin. Courtyards, which serve as building shafts in their home country, are not found in the houses of the Lasem Chinese settlements. The courtyards in the Chinese settlements of Lasem are precisely positioned around the main building. The uniqueness of the typology of the Chinese settlement courtyards in Lasem is the result of the space occupied by humans to survive and the community's attachment to their place of residence.

COLONIAL AND TRADITIONAL URBAN SPACE IN JAVA: A MORPHOLOGICAL STUDY OF TEN CITIES 1
Most of morphological studies of cities in Java tended to place the elements of traditional urban spacesuch as Alunalun, Mosque, Palace and Marketas the main elements of city. Other elements such as the colonial urban space -Resident Office, Fort, Church, Park and so onare often considered separately or placed as a complementary part. Through a morphological study by exploring ten cities in Java, I found both elements of traditional and colonial urban space were set in a unique and various pattern.

Most of morphological studies of cities in Java tended to place the elements of traditional urbanspace – such as Alunâ€alun, Mosque, Palace and Market – as the main elements of city. Other elements such as the colonial urban space – Resident Office, Fort, Church, Park and so on – are often considered separately or placed as a complementary part. Through a comparative study of morphology by exploring ten cities in Java, we found both elements of traditional and colonial urban space were set in a unique and various pattern. There are some findings indicating that the elements of colonial urban space significantly influence the city structure as well as those of the traditional ones. Therefore, understanding the urban space form in Java should include and put elements of both of traditional and colonial urban space as an integral part.

Keraton Yogyakarta as a summit of Javanese culture has been renowned as a heritage building. As object of study, Keraton Yogyakarta is ornamented with a collection of architectural artifacts. The acculturation and merging of these different styles create a unique impression within the palace complex. This study aims to identify the pattern of acculturation of these two styles and to interpret their meaning and expression. A descriptive-qualitative method is employed in this research, which contains visual observation, documentation collection, interviews with informants, and relevant literature review. As results of study, the expression of Tratag Pagelaran, Tratag Sitihinggil, Bangsal Ponconiti, and Gedong Jene tends to widen, while the expression of Gedong Purwaretna tends to uprise. Every building has its own point of interest and ornamentation which its place and content are different.. In visual observations, there are two categories of buildings in Keraton Yogyakarta,which accommodate two styles, namely Javanese Traditional style and Dutch Colonial style. Buildings of Javanese traditional style, which hold a special concept of shading, were built without buttresses and embody a 'light' expression, while buildings of Dutch Colonial style, which hold a concept of protection, were built with massive enclosure and produce a "heavy" expression. Although visually split into two distinct styles, the acculturation process in Keraton Yogyakarta produced a unity in its overall expression. The expression pattern of Keraton Yogyakarta can be used as conservation guidance of Javanese-cultured city.
