ABSTRACT

The rapid development of the city tends to create new strategic value in the area so as to encourage changes / shifts in the function of the area and often sacrifice the existence of old buildings in the area. Most of these old buildings were changed/demolish without regard to the historical value and uniqueness of the building/area or genius loci to be converted into new buildings with new functions only because of the reason for the investment value of the new commercial function of the property. Without realizing it, this building change will change the value of the area that has been formed so that the sustainability aspect of the old area stops and loses direction. There are several technical factors of the old building, such as: lay-out / spatial planning, appearance and use of old building materials that do not keep up with the times are often the main causes of this demolition. This demolition problem can actually be reduced in intensity by using the old building revitalization method that applies the urban infill technique of new buildings on the old building site. By using this technique, the existence of the old building can still be maintained while synergizing with the infill building on the new/updated function. However, it is necessary to pay attention to several important factors that determine the application of this urban infill technique, which in this paper tries to reveal what technical factors play an important role through a case study of the application of urban infill in old Javanese traditional houses. The results obtained are several design directions that need to be considered in the application of urban infill building techniques.
