Review

This article, "Eksplorasi Desain Vernakular sebagai Identitas Visual Pesisir: Studi Kasus Kota Tegal, Jawa Tengah," presents a timely and relevant exploration of vernacular design's role in shaping the visual identity of coastal areas, specifically through a case study in Tegal City. The research aims to decipher how indigenous design elements, influenced by climate, local culture, and natural resources, coalesce to form a distinctive urban visual identity. The abstract successfully outlines the identification of traditional architectural characteristics, open building forms, and culturally significant ornaments and motifs, establishing a clear scope for the investigation and suggesting a valuable contribution to understanding local identity through design. A significant strength of this study lies in its focus on how Tegal's vernacular design transcends mere functionality, deeply embodying the social and cultural values rooted in its coastal community. By highlighting the enduring traditional architecture, the article effectively argues that these designs are crucial for maintaining Tegal's unique visual character and fostering local pride, thereby connecting residents to their history and traditions. The emphasis on the philosophical meanings embedded within traditional ornaments and motifs further enriches the understanding of this cultural tapestry. Moreover, the paper proactively addresses the critical importance of preserving and developing vernacular design as a strategy for cultural and architectural sustainability, underscoring its practical relevance beyond academic discourse. The contribution of this article to the fields of fine arts, design, and architecture, particularly in the study of vernacular design based on local cultural identity, is evident. While the abstract provides a compelling outline of the identified characteristics and their significance, a full paper would benefit from a more detailed exposition of the research methodology employed to arrive at these insights, perhaps including specific examples, visual analyses, or interviews with local artisans and residents. Furthermore, exploring the challenges and successes in implementing preservation strategies, or even a comparative analysis with other coastal cities, could offer a richer, more nuanced perspective. Nonetheless, this article establishes a strong foundation, offering valuable insights into the intrinsic link between vernacular design and the enduring identity of coastal communities like Tegal, making it a valuable addition to scholarly discourse.
