Project Architectural Final Thesis Project

Supervisor Widiyani, S.T., M.T., Ph.D.

Jatibarang Heritage and Community Center is a fictional refurbishment project using adaptive-reuse approach of a 150-years-old sugar factory which stopped operating in 2017. It aims to revive the factory as a cultural heritage and a ‘hidden’ identity of Jatibarang sub-district also at the same time could facilitate people’s diverse education, social, and entertainment needs around Jatibarang area.

Background Issue

The development of sugar factories in Java reached its peak in the 1930s. Due to outdated technologies used and ongoing financial losses, most of these facilities were abandoned and shutdown overtime.

This has led to a significant increase in neglected areas (based on "Identifikasi Pabrik Gula Sebagai Industrial Heritage Di Jawa", 2020), hindering the growth and development of the regions housing these factories.

Brebes, as one of the suitable regions for agriculture during the Dutch colonial era of Java, had three sugar factories. Jatibarang Sugar Factory was one with the longest operational history and ceased operations in 2017.

There are several main potentials for choosing The Jatibarang Sugar Factory as the focus of this project:

A cultural heritage site according to the Spatial Planning Plan of Brebes Regency for the period of 2019 - 2039.

Potential to serve as an educational complement, local entertainment, even a tourist attraction

The site is located in Jatibarang, Brebes, Central Java and is taking up an area of 14.000 m . It is situated in an urban and rural residential area, also designated as a cultural heritage site. The site is only directly connected to Ketanggungan-Slawi road. Using adaptive-reuse approach, this project utilizes the abandoned existing factory buildings for revitalization as a public space for the local community.

Local Facility

Approximately 20 schools ranging from kindergarten to high/vocational school around the Factory. There is only 1 lodging facility (Hotel Anggraeni) within less than 2 kilometers and 1 tourist attraction, Mbesaran Hijau, acts as the sole entertainment facility in the District.

Toll Road Accesss

The site can be reached via 2 nearby toll gates, Brebes Timur and Adiwerna (Tegal), approximately 15 km away, reachable in 29 minutes using private vehicles. The highway in front of the site also serves as an alternative route to Purwokerto than can be possibly taken by tourists.

Surrounding Accesss

For the local people, the site located on the primary collector road (Jl. Ketanggungan - Slawi) makes it accessible for visitors using not only private vehivles but also public transportation, either from Brebes or Tegal regencies.

Embracing Local Community Research & Education Infrastructure

Local communities which linked to the sugar factory’s life, including farmers, plantation workers, and traders , the main occupations in Jatibarang, are supported with infrastructure for empowerment.

The factory’s proximity to schools and its status as an industrial heritage object can serve as supporting educational infrastructure and research center to foster historical knowledge development, aligning with Brebes Regency’s spatial planning guidelines.

Rebranding the Metikan Night Market

The existence of the ‘Metikan’ Night Market until this day, linked to the historical presence of the sugar factory since the Dutch era, can be accomodated as one of the key activities to revitalize the factory and adressing the current lack of local entertainment options

Main Corridor and Lobby Perspective

Physical Attributes Analysis

Wind Direction

The strongest wind direction towards the site comes from the south.

Contour

The site is relatively flat but slightly slopes southwest; designated as green areas for absorption

Sun Path

East and west sides of the building will have more vegetation for heat and light protection. Additionally, this can be used for natural lighting.

Existing Historical Building

Preserving Locomotive Remise Building, its chimney and pedestal, the main factory facade, and the existing presence of milling machines in the production plant as an industrial heritage object.

Main Vehicle and Visitor Entrance

The main entrance for pedestrians and private vehicles and is directly connected to the main road.

Existing Public Space

Enhancing the potential as an improved district town square; a third place for the local community.

Massing Form and Concept

Preserve Existing Buildings

Two existing building component and factory’s milling machine are set as a guide for additional building masses layout and facade design.

Massing Placement

New buildings are placed along the axis connecting the main production plant facade to the Locomotive Remise area, adjusting the building scale and height, descending accordingly.

Relive the Site

Distribute activities throughout the site to minimize negative space and enhance the courtyard’s potential for outdoor activities.

Axis and Focal Point

The imaginary axis of the existing buildings that seeks to make the area in front of the Locomotive Remise Building as the center of the axis.

Adjustment to Surroundings

The gable roof of the new building tries to disguise the Remise’s odd shape, blending seamlessly with the existing building forms, using brick tile and sheet metal materials.

Contextual Facade

The management building aligns its facade with the Remise to evoke nostalgic atmosphere, while the accessible building features a contrasting facade with modern reflective glass panels.

Main Design Concept

Harmonizing the New and Old

Located in a cultural heritage area, new building designs must physically respect the existing structures, ensuring integration without overpowering.

Encouraging Community Activities

The local community associated with the Jatibarang Sugar Factory will have their activities accommodated in the design through spaces that will support knowledge exchange, including conservation activities.

Engaging Public Space

To contiually revitalize the area, the sugar factory should become a public space for everyone, at the same time adressing the limited outdoor attractions in the Jatibarang District.

Kitapark is a public park located near the Old Town of Semarang and adjacent to the Mberok River. Kitapark aims to accommodate the multicultural activities and inclusive design approach.

Alifia Zahwa Rahma S.

Background

In the vast and vibrant Semarang City, where diversity and dynamism intertwine, it’s a need to have a place for communities to collaborate . Amidst this bustling tapestry of cultures, we aim to create a space where everyone can experience a strong sense of belonging. Our focus is to connect man to man, architecture to nature, harmoniously crafted in a park where the people can enjoy, play, bond, and create, in the context of Semarang’s diverse cultures.

Location

In a residential area close to Kota Tua (Old City), unused plot of land next to a river and a train track which surrounded by the crowded houses, warehouses, and buildings. Given these circumstances, the land has a bright potential to become a breathing space and node of the busy urbanscape

Optimizing Land Use

The aims to prevent negative space and potential issues that can arise in overly enclosed public space. As a result, effective surveillance is established and enabling users to mutually supervise each other.

Bridge to Connect

The bridge connects Kitapark with its surroundings and various activities areas inside the park. Metaphorically, the bridge also hoped to be a place where people from various backgrounds or culture can interact and carry out activities together.

Ponds of Activities

The park is divided into ‘activity zones’ to occur diverse activities harmoniously. Amphitheater overlooking the river that can be used to hold large-scale communal activities as well as displaying various cultural performances that can be seen from across the street.

Green Area

Acts as a catchment area to play a role in reducing floods in Semarang. The existence of a green area also allows for tree planting which can also be a cooling canopy.

Semi-Indoor Space

The continous bridge in the park creates a space underneath which is used as a tenant area, toilets, and a semi-indoor multipurpose space as an alternative venue for various activities

Invinsible Boundaries

In addition to seamlessly creating several activity spaces with the bridge, the use of varied hardscape materials is employed to convey the sense of diverse activities taking place inside the park.

Compact Living

There are various facilities supporting daily activities and needs within one building.

Prioritize Amenity

In addition to support essential amenities, there are various sport facilities available to keep the resident’s healthy lifestyle.

The building mass is made ‘parallel’ to the road to the north in order to create the impression of a strong entrance. In addition, the facade pattern results from the difference between two typical floors so that a back-and-forth pattern is formed on each floor. In addition, there is a dividing wall inbetween two room to keep the privacy of each occupant.

The facade of the apartment is made a back-and-forth pattern so that it could create a dynamic impression. The play of white and brown is central, as well as accents of green from the vegetation and park area that complements the design.
