Keunikan Jalan Tunjungan yang menjadi daya tarik wisata terancam punah akibat tekanan dan tuntutan perkembangan perekonomian Surabaya. Melalui pendekatan sinkronik-diakronik dengan metode kualitatif-deskriptif, kajian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi pola, tipe, dan sistem yang membentuk karakteristik fisik-spasial pedestrian shopping street Jalan Tunjungan yang bertahan, beradaptasi, dan hilang akibat transformasi Surabaya sebagai kota metropolitan. Dari analisa komparasi, ditemukan bahwa yang bertahan hanya pola linearitas tatanan bangunan. Tipe jalan beradaptasi menjadi avenue searah dengan pembagian lajur jelas dengan penambahan sistem perparkiran on site. Selain itu, tipe bangunan beradaptasi menjadi bangunan komersial. Karakteristik arcade di beberapa bangunan hilang, sistem transportasi menghilangkan halte penumpang, jembatan tidak lagi berfungsi, dan juga pola perparkiran  menganggu pola pedestrian. Jalan Tunjungan yang dulunya mengedepankan pengalaman berbelanja dan berjalan kaki mengalami degradasi menjadi area shopping street.

Bali Island is a famous tourist destination in the world and this has made it a gathering hub and multicultural meeting center for tourists from several countries, thereby, raising concern on the possibility of the area losing its traditional Balinese architecture. It is necessary to make adjustments by adopting the shape of the old Balinese building. This means the emergence of new functions is not a taboo but a new design challenge, therefore, the traditional Balinese architecture and theater provisions were combined to produce a neo-vernacular architecture by using descriptive qualitative method. This led to the application of Asta Kosala-kosali in the theater space, modification on the roof, body and legs shape of the Balinese building, and the integration of the construction system and materials in the Balinese theater architecture. © 2020 Alan Darma Saputra, Rahadhian Prajudi Herwindo, Yohanes Karyadi Kusliansjah

The Banjarmasin city is located in territorial waters. The development is currently causing problems related to the context of the aquatic environment. This is because urban development planning is not in accordance with the environmental context. Therefore, this article aims to determine the sustainability of water-based settlements in aquatic environment in Banjarmasin city. This is a qualitative article with the descriptive method used to explain the environmental structure and architectural elements of water-based settlements. Primary and secondary data were obtained from field observations and the city government in the form of maps and pictures of settlements. The data collected were analyzed with the descriptive approach and concluded using the deductive method. This article reveals the form of residence due to community adaptation to water areas and finds that urban spatial development policies need to understand the community's adaptation process as a local brand of city identity. The concept of 'living with water is a future challenge because it is a water-based cultural adaptation strategy. The architecture of the floating residence has the opportunity to be developed into a floating settlement and city. Therefore, the adaptation of residential architectural forms and environmental structures supports the Banjarmasin city as a waterfront city.

Pasar Baru sebagai salah satu simpul pertumbuhan pusat Kota Bandung yang perkembangannya turut membentuk karakteristik perkotaan kawasan pusat Kota Bandung. Lingkungan ini mengalami perubahan dan transformasi pada pola, tipe, maupun sistem yang terkait dengan lingkungan fisiknya, selama awal pembentukan kawasan hingga kini. Tujuan kajian ini untuk mendeskripsikan perubahan terkait non-fisik, transformasi, serta permanensi pada lingkungan Pasar Baru Bandung yang mempengaruhi perubahan karakteristiknya. Pendekatan studi adalah sinkronik-diakronik dengan metode kualitatif deskriptif dengan historical reading dari tahun 1906 hingga 2019 dan tissue analysis pada tahun 2019. Kajian dilakukan di sekitar Pasar Baru Bandung termasuk Jalan Otto Iskandardinata, Jalan ABC, Jalan Pecinan Lama, Jalan Alkateri dan jalan- kecil diantaranya. Hasil dari kajian ini menunjukkan bahwa perubahan sistem seringkali terjadi pada akses dalam lingkungan, namun akses tidak mengalami transformasi signifikan dikomparasikan dengan fisik bangunan. Fungsi pada lingkungan bila dibandingkan dengan fisik bangungan cenderung permanen bila dibandingkan dengan transformasi pada bangunan dan kepadatan massa lingkungannya.
