Building circulation consists of horizontal and vertical circulation that
accommodates all the needs of visitors and managers. Horizontal circulation
includes open space consisting of bus and truck parking lots, small car parking
(private), pedestrian corridors. While vertical circulation consists of stairs.
Based on the data analysis above and when discussed based on the theory of
postmodern (neo vernacular) architecture according to (Budi A Sukada, 1988)
through its characteristics, it can be said that the Ono Joglo Hotel and Resort
building has a neo-vernacular architectural concept because it fulfills 7 (seven)
physical or non-physical characteristics as follows: (1) Representing a
communicative form that is local or popular, with the application of vernacular roof
forms with local materials and local technology, modern materials and the latest
technology on the roof sheathing of joglo houses, pyramids, saddles, pe bake with
the function as a commercial hotel and resort building (different from the original),
application of carved ornaments, natural motifs of wood planks on granite floors,
application of teak wood planks in joglo buildings, wood on fence relling, paying
attention to the place and its environment. (2) Presenting memories of the past
(history), with the application of local forms, materials and technology (teak wood
on joglo house finish melamine, ceramic tile). Forms of local identity, modern
materials and technology through elements of spandek pyramid roof sheathing,
wood motif plywood walls and granite floors with batik and wood motifs. (3) Urban
representation or suitable for big cities, with the use of local materials and modern
technology, application of fabricated materials on building floors such as granite
and ceramic materials, columns and roof trusses. (4) Multifaceted or plural, with
synergy of forms, traditional materials, fabrication and modern technology,
combining different functions in one area. (5). Reapplying ornamentation
techniques, with the application of local ornamentation of Jepara carvings, wooden
plank motifs, natural stone motifs on almost all floors of the building. (6) The form
is metaphoric (can mean another form), with the application of joglo roof design
(tajug loro), limasan, saddle and panggang pe. (7) Representational (representing
the whole), the appearance of buildings and open spaces expresses vernacular in the
present.
When discussed with Charles Jenks' theory that post modern architecture is
characterized by: (1) Tends to be popular. (2) Pluralist. (3) Double coding style or
combining modern techniques with traditional architectural styles influenced by the
place and environment (Jencks, 1980) the Ono Joglo and Resort building can be
said to use the concept of neo vernacular.
The third case study is the Asakusa Culture Tourist Information Center
building, hereafter referred to as ACTIC (Figure 13 A), which is a building with a
height of 39 m that has a function: tourism information center, exhibition, and
multipurpose building located in Asakusa Taito, Tokyo, Japan. The building
expresses elements of vernacular architecture (local machiya house), but seems to
be kekikinian by applying modern technology by adjusting the place and
environment. The concept is to collaborate two architectural styles including
