CALL FOR PAPER

Background

Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry is facing a fundamental change due to the rise of digitalization and stipulated to comply with the global agreement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SGD). This volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous future yet the limitation of resource, shifting of demographic profile and tensions of urban-rural sociology has created a Pandora-like future. Abundant knowledge and practices on technology, social, economic, and politics may benefit from digitalization but at the same time challenges the foundation of the industry itself as many believe that the AEC industry is rooted on and still uses extensively old methods and technologies. Actors of the industry are also lack of knowledge about the implementation of digitalization to generate value and innovation to generate the future of the industry. Moreover most of the actors believe, still, that sustainability is a burden rather than an opportunity.

___________

EduArchsia and Senvar 2019, as a joint forum, invite scholars, educator, and actors on AEC industry to discuss topics of knowledge, excel practices for innovation, and challenge definition, concept, and practices on the sustainable industry on the context of digitalization and its impact. We propose three major topics of discussion, Educating a new generation of architects, engineers and experts on construction, Defining sustainability in AEC 4.0, Locating innovation in AEC 4.0.

We invite a wide variety of papers, including but not limited to discursive papers, research reports, experience, and case or experimental work reports addressing those three major topics. We also invite different perspectives of the topic that include but not necessarily limited to the aspect of (a) history and theory, (b) housing and urbanism, (c) building science and technology, (d) digital technology and smart environment as well as (e) advocacy and profession.

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Sugini obtained a Ph.D in Architecture at the Gadjah Mada University on 2007. Previously she studied for her undergraduate and master program at the Gadjah Mada University in 1986 and 1997. She teaches architecture at the Islamic University of Indonesia since 2002 until present. Her specialiazation is building science and technology, also sustainable built environment. She is also member of Indonesia Architec Institute(IAI).

Dr. Eka Sediadi has more than twenty five years of experience in education related to the theory, method, scientific knowledge-based approach and their implementation to architecture design and the site-planning process. Since 2000 he has continued his interest, and focuses on the implementation of sustainable green environmental architecture and the landscape design approach and its green assessment.

He completed his Ph.D. study supported by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD – Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst) in 1996 at the Faculty of Architecture and Landscape Sciences at the Leibniz University of Hanover, Hanover, Germany. His Ph.D. research was the implementation and integration of renewable energy in architecture design and site analysis under the hot humid tropical climate condition of Indonesia as a basic consideration to reduce the negative effect of climate change and the global warming problem. It is also an effort to reduce the dependency on conventional energy sources.

His postdoctoral research in 2001 in the Technical University Darmstadt, Germany, simulated the building and outdoor landscape shadow effect based on the local tropical sun path using building models and the available sun track machine. He is also experienced in urban and landscape design projects in Indonesia. The best part of his urban planning and urban design project is the Bagusa new town development in West Irian (Papua) island in east Indonesia and some landscape and public transportation building projects in Jakarta, Indonesia. Until now most of his research relates to sustainable architecture, landscape architecture, site planning, public housing, natural daylighting and natural ventilation as well as the overall performance of renewable energy in buildings.

In 2010, in relation to his interest in sustainable green architecture, he joined the Green Building Council Indonesia (GBCI) in Jakarta, Indonesia and registered as a Greenship building design assessor, lecturer, and a tutor of Greenship’s professional course (Greenship is the Indonesian green building assessment tool approved by the World Green Building Council/WGBC).

His book “The Graphic Communication in Architecture and Landscape” (Rustam Hakim; Eka Sediadi Rasyad) is one of referenced books in the landscape education and landscape projects in Indonesia. His research interest is the implementation of sustainable climate-based green architecture and landscape design approach to support the world’s sustainable development process. Dr. Eka Sediadi believes that the evidence-based sustainable green architecture and landscape design approach will be an important education design method to support the world’s sustainable developments.

Paramita Atmodiwirjo teaches architecture at the Universitas Indonesia since 1998. She obtained a PhD in Architecture at the University of Sheffield. Previously she studied for her first degree at the Universitas Indonesia and Master of Architectural Studies at the University of Sheffield. Her research interests are on the relationship between architecture, interior and the users’ behavior, and how such relationship should be the basis for designing for the users’ well-being. She is particularly focuses on the importance of human body in our understanding of architecture and interior, and the needs to pay attention to users with special needs including children, elderly, diffable people and patients in healthcare setting. She is also active in developing learning methods for architectural education, to promote students’ creativity and awareness of the relationship between users and space.
