Even though landscape quality is largely a subjective issue, the integration of infrastructure into landscapes has been identified as a key element of sustainability. In a spatial planning context, the landscape impacts that are generated by infrastructures are commonly quantified through visibility analysis. In this study, we develop a new method of visibility analysis and apply it in a case study of a reservoir (Plastiras dam in Greece). The methodology combines common visibility analysis with a stochastic tool for visual-impacts evaluation; points that generate high visual contrasts in landscapes are considered Focus Points (FPs) and their clustering in landscapes is analyzed trying to answer two questions: (1) How does the clustering of Focus Points (FPs) impact the aesthetic value of the landscape? (2) How can the visual impacts of these FPs be evaluated? Visual clustering is calculated utilizing a stochastic analysis of generated Zones of Theoretical Visibility. Based on the results, we argue that if the visual effect of groups of FPs is positive, then the optimal sitting of FPs should be in the direction of faint clustering, whereas if the effect is negative, the optimal sitting of FPs should be directed to intense clustering. In order to optimize the landscape integration of infrastructure, this method could be a useful analytical tool for environmental impact assessment or a monitoring tool for a project’s managing authorities. This is demonstrated through the case study of Plastiras’ reservoir, where the clustering of positively perceived FPs is found to be an overlooked attribute of its perception as a highly sustainable infrastructure project.

Some cities in Indonesia have a long history of city development, in East Java, for example the cities of Surabaya, Malang, Blitar, Kediri and Pasuruan are cities that have a history of urban development that still maintains the identity of the city. old buildings or colonial buildings, these buildings can still be suspected through the characteristics of building shapes and the use of ornaments that are characterized by European buildings. For this European building to be preserved, it is necessary to conduct a feasibility study of the aesthetic value contained in the building. The case study taken in writing this article is the Pancasila Building in the city of Pasuruan. The method used is descriptive analysis topically. To support the discussion in this article, field observations and literature studies were conducted. The findings in this study were to determine the physical identity of the building and the meaning of building ornaments.

Abstract: Hotel is a commercial building and the success of its design has a very positive impact on increasing its selling value. Generally, hotel buildings in cities or city hotels are designed based on the form follow function theory so that the interior space is functioning optimally, but the shape of the square block buildings that occur tends to look monotonous. In order to make the visual appearance more attractive, through the strategy of transforming the mass composition of the hotel to be dynamic, there will be a consequence where the layout and furnishings of the existing interior may reduce the spatial comfort (space) for the user. Another thing that must be tested from a dynamic mass composition is its aesthetic value in terms of proportion and scale. As a research case study, Hotel U Janevalla was chosen in Jl. Aceh No. 65 Bandung. The analysis was carried out in a comparative way between case studies and theory, both in terms of qualitative and quantitative. The benefit value of this research is an insight into how the dynamic mass composition of hotels influences the aesthetic value and spatial comfort of users in the bedroom.Keywords: Hotel, Dynamic mass composition transformation, Aesthetics, Spatial comfort. Abstrak: Hotel adalah bangunan komersial dan keberhasilan desainnya berdampak sangat positif bagi peningkatan nilai jualnya. Umumnya bangunan hotel di kota atau city hotel dirancang berdasarkan teori form follow function agar ruang dalamnya berfungsi optimal, tetapi bentuk bangunan blok persegi yang terjadi cenderung terlihat monoton. Agar tampilan visualnya lebih menarik, melalui strategi transformasi gubahan massa hotel dibuat menjadi dinamis, maka timbul konsekuensi dimana dengan tata letak dan kelengkapan interior yang ada dapat terjadi kemungkinan berkurangnya kenyamanan spasial (ruang gerak) bagi pengguna. Hal lain yang harus diuji dari gubahan massa dinamis adalah nilai estetikanya ditinjau dari proporsi dan skala. Sebagai kasus studi penelitian, dipilih Hotel U Janevalla di Jl. Aceh No. 65 Bandung. Analisis dilakukan dengan cara komparatif antara kasus studi dengan teori, baik ditinjau dengan cara kualitatif maupun kuantitatif. Nilai manfaat dari penelitian ini adalah wawasan bagaimana pengaruh bentuk gubahan massa hotel yang dinamis terhadap nilai estetika dan kenyamanan spasial pengguna pada kamar tidur.Kata Kunci: Hotel, Transformasi gubahan massa dinamis, Estetika, Kenyamanan spasial.

Based on the adaptation of the linguistics and information dissemination concept, the process and control points of the semantic generation and communication in the landscape design are interpreted profoundly. Moreover it is pointed out that the semantic conveying mechanism is crucial to improve the aesthetic value of the landscape works as well as to promote the Pluralism and extensibility of the analysis under the overall context, combining with the case study of the landscape design.

In light of climate changes, technological development and the use of renewable energy sources are considered very important nowadays, both in newly-designed structures and reconstructed historic building, resulting in the reduction of the commercial energy consumption and CO2 environmental emissions. This paper explores the possibilities of improving the energy efficiency of heritage sacred buildings by utilizing photovoltaic systems. As an exceptionally significant cultural good, the Cathedral of St. Michael the Archangel in Belgrade shall serve as a case study, with the aim of examining the methods of mounting photovoltaic (PV) panels, by taking into account the fact that the authenticity and the aesthetic value of this cultural monument must remain intact. A comparative analysis of the two options for installing PV panels on the southwestern roof of the church was performed using simulations in PVgis and PVsist V6.84 software, with the aim of establishing the most efficient option in terms of power generation. The simulation results show that photovoltaic panels can produce 151650 kWh (Option 1) and 150894 kWh (Option 2) per year, while the required amount of energy is 42726.77 kWh. The electricity produced exceeds the electricity requirements for the decorative lighting of the Cathedral Church, so it can be used for other purposes in the sacral complex.

Semarang city has two canals which was developed to decrease the flood risk happened since 19th century, those are known as Banjir Kanal Timur (BKT) and Banjir Kanal Barat (BKB). Both canals which are made connected to Sungai Garang are served as primary drainages that flow directly to the sea. The weak regulation of limitation zone (e.g. riverfront) caused many violations done by people around the area by built houses or places for working along BKT riverfront. Many buildings are made as houses (i.e. commonly used by the poor) drives domestic waste dumped in the river. This is one of many driving forces caused flooding in Semarang City (i.e. the nature factor is erosion happen in BKT river upstream). Those problems caused sedimentation in BKT downstream and indirectly caused the water spilled to the settlement around the river. The development by Eco-Riverwalk Village Concept are implemanted as an effort to improve the ecology aspect in riverfront area by build a linear park as a new identity of Kelurahan Mlatiharjo Riverfront. Linear park is the implemantation of ‘riverwalk’ concept (i.e. the walkable zone along the river) and improve the aesthetic value in case study area.

This paper investigates a vision of the underground environment associated with an aesthetic discipline. Its fundamental notion is sublimity, which was a phenomenon that involved a number of artworks engaged with changing the perception of the underground experience. This paper seeks to clarify how the idea of the living environment underground has changed by examining the works of writers, painters, and architects who have drawn inspiration from the concept of imaginary underworlds. Through a case study of the Chichu Art Museum, a representative underground space in terms of a sustainable relationship between architectural spaces and nature that could be experienced as sublime, this paper considers how to integrate visitors to distribute their awareness of artists’ work. It also stimulates visitors’ perceptions of a more sustainable future through sublime experiences, offering a way to understand underground integration with artworks. Therefore, this paper contributes to the knowledge of the relationship between architecture and artwork by increasing the aesthetic value of the underground space and considering how art intervenes in architecture to create a sustainable didactic.
