ATMOSPHERE OF SPACE IN STUDIO AIR PUTIH @BATUBATA, TANGERANG
Abstract - The difference atmosphere between the dynamic and diverse on outer spaces, gradually becomes singular and static, is expected to be found in @Batubata. This is different from common architectural space which is only understood as hegemony of occulocentrism, that only focuses on visual studies. The study was conducted to scrutiny the formation of the atmosphere of space, by understanding the physical-spatial-material elements and unconscious peripheral sensations that experienced by the user subject. The atmosphere of space is abstract and intangible whose atmosphere can be felt through the medium of space in the built environment that is slow and encourages solitude. The study is done through two stages. The first stage is to describe the physical-spatial-material elements through elaboration of layering and transparency, dimensions and proportions, density and emptiness, and material based on Bert Bielefelt's spatial design theory. The second stage is to expose the peripheral vision felt by observers when experiencing spaces in @Batubata. Peripheral vision is felt simultaneously arising the emotions and imagination of its users. The elaboration was based on the theory presented by Juhanni Pallasmaa. The formation of atmosphere of the space is understood by the conclusions at these two stages. This is a study of the phenomenon that happens in architectural space. The method used is descriptivequalitative, data obtained from literature studies, field observations, interviews with architect planners and open questionnaires to the user subject. The study was conducted by reviewing the physical elements of spatial and material through initial observation, which was enriched by interviews and open questionnaires to space users. From the results of first phase analysis, it was concluded that the characters of the spaces were secluded, static and dense. In second stage analysis, the result was silent and calm space experience. From these two stages, it can be understood that @Batubata was able to provide an opportunity for visitors to feel solitude and slowness to experience the atmosphere through their peripheral vision. The subjects’ feelings and mood are always influenced the abstract formation of atmosphere of space. Key Words: @Batubata, physic-spatial-material, peripheral vision, atmosphere
