Ecological Landscape

Today’s landscape design targets at seeking for means of conveying the inner order of nature, and meanwhile satisfying people’s requirements of appreciation of beauty. However, plants are the main visual elements for expressing the two kinds of order. As the representative for natural environment, the ecological effect, the visual sense and the cultural landscapes of green plants penetrate and influence all the aspects of human lives and architectural environment. The interaction between environment and architecture has become a new exploration and direction of the architectural design thought in the 21st century.

The City

The pop-up architecture (or landscape architecture) becomes popular nowadays. Some highlights include annual architecture program such as the Serpentine Gallery Pavilion at Hyde Park, London; MPavilion in Melbourne; MoMA PS1 and Heart Sculpture in New York. Many of these pop-up architectural works have been designed by world renowned architects, such as Zaha Hadid, Rem Koolhaas, Hezorg and de Meuron, Jean Nouvel, Toyo Ito, SANAA, Shigeru Ban, BIG, etc. And many of these designs reflect innovative thinking that changes the professional world of architectural design. But above all, these pop-up architectures were created in responsive manner to the urban community and the community controversially has good response to this type of architecture. In the other words, pop-up architecture is the way the architects touch the heartbeat of the cities, make them livable for all. Ho Chi Minh City has its own types of pop-up landscape architecture, whereas this paper intends to explore in two case studies: Nguyen Hue Floral Boulevard and Nguyen Van Binh Book Street. Nguyen Hue Floral Street is celebrating now its twelfth birthday in the city. Nguyen Van Binh Book Street has just passed its first anniversary in 2017. Both cases live its own story behind the scene about how livable a city could be through place-making by architecture and landscape design. Throughout these cases, we would like to find out how this type of pop-up landscape architecture being realized and become popular in Ho Chi Minh City, and how it is devoted to a livable city for all.

<p class="JurnalASSETSABSTRAK">ABSTRAK</p><p>Artikel ini bertujuan mengonstruksi metodologi untuk memurnikan akuntansi pertanian kembali pada fitrah kesuciannya sehingga dapat menempati strata tertinggi bersama tulisan dan angka, sebagaimana kemunculan pertama kalinya di masa revolusi pertanian 12.000 tahun lalu. Konstruksi metodologi pemurnian akuntansi dilakukan melalui telaah kesejarahan pemikiran Ibnu Khaldun dan konsep pemurnian dalam Islam. Hasil konstruksi menunjukkan bahwa metodologi tazkiyah bersubstansi nilai dinamis berkeadilan bagi individu dan masyarakat serta lingkungan alam, dengan cara melalui penyucian terus-menerus. Temuan konstruksi juga menunjukkan bahwa kesucian akuntansi telah hilang dan tersisih sejak Revolusi Industri yang berorientasi materi dan pertumbuhan (ekonomi). Praksis akuntansi tanpa kesucian mewujud dalam standar IFRS dan PSAK di Indonesia hingga abad 21 berkolaborasi dengan Revolusi Industri 4.0.</p><p class="JurnalASSETSABSTRAK"><em>ABSTRACT</em></p><p><em>This article aims to construct a methodology to refine agricultural accounting back to its nature of holiness so that it can occupy the highest strata along with writing and numbers, as it first appeared during the agricultural revolution 12,000 years ago. The construction of the accounting refinement methodology is carried out through the historical study of Ibn Khaldun's thought and the concept of purification in Islam. The results of the construction show that the tazkiyah methodology has a dynamic value of justice for individuals and communities and the natural environment, by means of continuous purification. The construction findings also show that the sanctity of accounting has been lost and marginalized since the material revolution and growth (economic) orientation. Accounting practices without holiness embodied in IFRS and PSAK standards in Indonesia until the 21st century in collaboration with the Industrial Revolution 4.0.</em></p>

The current coronavirus pandemic is not only a health/healthcare crisis but to a vast extent it will also influence other spheres of life, including social relations, the shape of economy and working models, and natural environment. Sustainable development that relies on the previously mentioned pillars (economy, society, environment) is going to be strongly affected by the virus outbreak. There is a threat that the process of recovering from the corona crisis will accelerate and legitimize the dynamics of surveillance capitalism. A really interesting case is going to be the labor world, where thanks to modern technologies, suppression of personal freedoms and triumph of total surveillance might be particularly easy. However, good scenarios are also plausible. The first 21st century pandemic of that scale may force societies to redefine their current modus operandi and shift capitalism into a more sustainable, humanistic model.

Morphological System

The morphogenesis of the urban territory and its contact with the non-urbanized, natural environment of the wider metropolitan area distinguish issues of the synergy between landscape and spatial patterns in order to achieve their balance, optimization, and harmony. This chapter highlights the conceptual framework of landscape ecology as linking to place-based design approach for studying the synergy of landscape and housing spatial patterns in order to improve their integration in future perspective. The territory of the city of Belgrade is recognized as a specific spatial-morphological system that is a consequence of the urban-rural synergy between socialist housing settlements and environmental processes. The chapter points at the environmental and functional values of nature with a particular focus on housing typology in the process of urban planning and architectural design.

Physical Construction

Each brain enlivens a body in interaction with the social and physical environment. Peter Zumthor’s Therme at Vals exemplifies the interplay of interior with surroundings, and ways the actions of users fuse with their multimodal experience. The action–perception cycle includes both practical and contemplative actions. The author analyzes what Louis Sullivan meant by “form ever follows function,” but more often talks of aesthetics and utility. Not only are action, perception, and emotion intertwined, but so are remembering and imagination. Architectural design leads to the physical construction of buildings—but much of what our brains achieve can be seen as a form of mental construction. A first look at neuroscience offers schema theory as a bridge from cognitive processes to neural circuitry. Some architects fear that neuroscience will strip the architect of any creativity. In counterpoint, two-way reduction explores how neuroscience can “dissect” phenomenology by showing how first-person experiences arise from melding diverse subconscious processes. This raises the possibility that neuroscience can extend the effectiveness of architectural design by showing how different aspects of a building may affect human experience in ways that are not apparent to self-reflection.
