KARAKTER FORMAL BANGUNAN 01 KAMPUS UNY KARANG MALANG

Abstract

ABSTRACT
The Karangmalang campus of Jogjakarta State University is a continuously developed area. At least, it can be seen from the appearance of some new buildings in these area. It is a good thing, but in the other, some worries appear as those new buildings were designed imperfectly. It seems that those new buildings were designed in different sight one to another.. "Is it because of the fully unclear and incomplete guideline? ". The clear and complete guideline is an important aspect to arrange the area; lack of such guideline will cause a messy area or an illegible one. Legibility is one aspect that Lynch (1960) proposed to create a good area. To get knowledge about legibility of an area, an understanding on formal character is needed. This is an important reason
why this research must be done.
The research used quantitative research method in positivistic paradigm.
Each object is observed and the information is collected in form of sketch of
plan and building's fa9ades, and also photographs. The objects of research
were six offices of Dean in Jogjakarta State University consist of FBS, FIK, FT,
FIS, FMIPA and FIP Dean's offices. The information had been analyzed in
graphical and verbal forms followed by quantitative manner to identify the
dominant aspects of formal character of each object.
This research reveals some formal characters of dean's office building in
Jogjakarta State University area. Those formal characters are: a) the axis is strong, b) the symmetrical form is very strong, c) the proportion is 1:3, d) the roof angle is 30 Q and 35Q
, e) the hyrarcy is on one level in horizontal as well as
vertical direction, f) the rythm is "a-b-c-b-a " pattern, and g) the dominant datumis ventilation hole.
