Abstract

Denny's house is one of the houses that uses a minimalist architectural concept. The minimalist concept has become a trend in the world of architecture, because of its simple yet effective concept, minimalist design has become one of the most preferred styles by graphic design professionals, architects, and artists (Aliwafa, 2023). The actualization of the Vitruvius architectural concept is based on Vitruvius's theory of Utility (Function Aspect), Firmitas (Strongness and Structure Aspect), and Venustas (Beauty). By comparing Vitruvius's theory with Henry Wotton's Theory, the aim is to actualize the architectural concept in the contemporary design of Denny's house as well as become a case study that can be accepted by the reader's audience. This case study uses descriptive qualitative techniques of data processing that aim to achieve study results on a comprehensive phenomenon. The application of the Vitruvius architectural concept is the focus of discussion in the contemporary design of the facade of Denny's house which becomes a reference for the discussion to examine with an architectural approach. The house becomes the initial locus of discussion by prioritizing the function of beauty, the function of strength or structure, and the function of venustas or beauty. Vitruvius is a theory used to examine the application of design theory by providing a precedent study of Denny's architectural work, which uses a minimalist functionalist theme. This study examines Vitruvius' theory regarding the relevance of design to Denny's home.

Review

This paper, titled "Penerapan Konsep Arsitektur Vitruvius dalam Desain Kontemporer Fasad Rumah Tempat Tinggal," proposes an examination of how classical Vitruvian architectural principles of Utility (Firmitas), Strength (Utilitas), and Beauty (Venustas) can be actualized within the contemporary, minimalist design of Denny's house facade. The chosen focus on a specific residential case study offers a tangible context for exploring the enduring relevance of Vitruvius's theory in modern architecture. Such an investigation has the potential to offer valuable insights into the continuity of architectural thought and how foundational concepts manifest in current design practices, providing a practical precedent for students and practitioners alike. However, the abstract presents several areas that require significant clarification and refinement. The initial discussion of minimalism as a popular trend feels somewhat disconnected from the core intent of analyzing Vitruvian concepts; a clearer thematic bridge between these two elements is needed. Furthermore, the mention of comparing Vitruvius's theory with Henry Wotton's is introduced but then entirely undeveloped, making its inclusion seem gratuitous without a clear explanation of how Wotton's perspective will enrich or contrast the primary analysis. The description of the methodology as "descriptive qualitative techniques of data processing" is too vague; the abstract needs to specify what constitutes the 'data' (e.g., design documents, site observations, interviews, comparative analysis of design elements) and how this data will be rigorously processed and interpreted to demonstrate the application of Vitruvian principles in Denny's house. Repetitive phrasing and slightly awkward sentence construction also hinder the clarity of the research aims. To strengthen this promising study, the authors should first consolidate their theoretical framework by clearly articulating the precise relationship between minimalist aesthetics and Vitruvian principles. The role of Henry Wotton's theory, if genuinely integral, must be thoroughly integrated and explained. Most crucially, the methodology section needs substantial elaboration, detailing the specific qualitative methods to be employed for data collection and analysis to ensure the study's claims are empirically supported. Refining the language for conciseness and academic precision would also greatly enhance the overall impact and accessibility of the abstract. Addressing these points will significantly improve the paper's academic rigor and its potential contribution to the architectural discourse.
