TYPOLOGY AND ORIENTATION STUDY OF HOUSE IN DENSELY POPULATED AREA

The facade or the face of the building is part of the building that usually faces the street. The facade of the building can describe the background, condition and cultural situation that occurred at the time the building was built. A facade can also tell the characteristics of the individual inhabitants within it, as well as the collective identity of a community that makes it a representation of its inhabitants to the public. The composition of a façade, despite of all its functional requirements (windows, door openings, roof planes, eaves) is essentially related to the creation of a harmonious unity between good proportions, comprising the preparation of vertical and horizontal elements, materials, colors and decorative elements. The facade of the building is also influenced by environmental conditions. The distance between one house to another, the width of the road, the boundaries around the building becomes one of the important factors that will determine the shape and orientation of the building. In contrast to the integrated residential areas that have been well-regulated form and orientation of buildings, densely populated areas will have a diversity of shapes and orientations depending on the location where the house is located. The area of Astana Anyar, Tegallega becomes one of the most interesting densely populated areas to study because it consists of a combination of open area (node) and circulation (path). This research method was conducted using a typology approach and refers to the façade elements. The purpose of this study is to find out the type and orientation of building facades in this area.
