“…These aspects quickly led architects to rethink the design of buildings [43]. Le Corbusier, one of the pioneers of modern architecture, designed his projects to have more sunlight and air, and one of the ways he achieved this was through balconies, terraces or flat roofs that people could enjoy [44].…”

COVID-19 Could Leverage a Sustainable Built Environment

The health system’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic has involved research into diagnoses and vaccines, but primarily it has required specific treatments, facilities and equipment, together with the control of individual behaviour and a period of collective confinement. The aim of this particular research, therefore, is to discover whether COVID-19 is capable of changing the built environment (BE) and leveraging specific solutions for sustainable buildings or urban areas. Some historical reviews of infectious pandemics have highlighted the development of new solutions in the BE as an additional contribution towards preventing the spread of infection. The BE has an important role to play in supporting public health measures and reducing the risk of infections. The review of potential COVID-19 measures shows the existence of well-referenced solutions, ranging from incremental alterations (organisation of spaces, erection of physical barriers) to structural alterations (windows, balconies) with different timeframes and scales (ranging from changes in building materials to the design of urban areas). A critical exploratory assessment makes it possible to identify measures that may help not only to reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission (or even prevent it), but also to increase resilience, improve air quality and lower energy requirements or the use of materials, and thus potentially increase the sustainability of the BE. COVID-19 measures challenge us to rethink buildings and urban areas and potentially leverage sustainable BE solutions with win-win outcomes (minimalist design and other solutions). The specific composition of this set of measures must, however, be further researched.

“…Rationality, standardisation, and functionality are the most common characteristics of modern architecture (Ali, 2018). Fabricated materials are superior to natural materials because of their accuracy and modularity (Frampton, 1980;Gropius, 1965).…”

“…Standardisation is the impact of manual and mechanical collaborative work processes related to industrialisation, making designs very systematic and having implications for cost savings (Gropius, 1965). The connection between rationalisation and standardisation increases the efficiency and effectiveness of financing and resource management and improves the quality of the function of a dwelling (Ali, 2018).…”

“…Modernity in architecture significantly influences the development of design across contexts. The modern movement covers a broad spectrum, including design knowledge and cycles related to the evolving social, cultural, and economic aspects (Ali, 2018). Modern architecture must display an honest, original quality of itself, where the ornaments will never be forced or feel contrived, not pursuing appearance and more pursuing functionality (Lescaze, 1937;Mallgrave, 2005).…”

The purpose of this paper is to reflectively explore minimalist architecture as an architecture that is driven by the reduction-based design method. The discussion aims to reframe the design processes and methods of minimalist architecture as informed by field observation. The phenomenon of applying a minimalist architectural approach has become a trend in small-scale housing in Indonesia lately. In the country, the small-scale residential design processes take place in different contexts and are faced with various limitations, from resources, budgets, land size, materials, and so on. The study will frame this discussion around exploring the reductive design method as a way of responding to these limitations. Informed by design strategies from the modern architecture movement, the study was conducted by observing reduction strategies in eight small-scale domestic design which was published and well-narrated in various media. The study findings demonstrate that the reduction does not only exist in the visual aspect of the design and construction process. It also exist in numerous other design elements, such as materials, forms, spaces, and ornamentation, as a strategic response towards the limitations of various resources.

The development of Indonesian architectures in the post-colonial era were the phase of new experiment and ideas that gave a birth to the awareness and spirit of exploring nation identity. Universitas Gadjah Mada is recognized as a post-colonial and the oldest national campus founded in 1949 in Yogyakarta. This paper aims to investigate the evolution of modern movement in the sense of campus architecture. Case study material is drawn mainly from post-colonial campus architecture at the central zone of Universitas Gadjah Mada. The method used is a qualitative methodology in which data is obtained from literature reviews and field observations. The development of modern architecture theories and styles have been studied through the case study. The finding of this study showed that socio-political transition of the old order, the new order, and present era, and also personal vision of the architect contributed to the production of modern architectures. Keywords: evolution of style; modernism; modern movement; post-colonial campus
