With the interest of redesigning non-monumental heritage groups, the Architects worked on the district called Pecinan (the Chinese-Javanese quarter) in Semarang, Indonesia. The site problems require to improve district livability, to renovate cultural variety, and to enrich the old town's heritage quality. The research highly considered with building typology of Chinese Shophouse and heritage valuation. Additionally, many site interviews were also taken, to understand different countries' cultural heritage notion and needs. In building design level, a Chinese language Institute is programmed in a shophouse group (twelve adjacent buildings); a hostel is located in two houses in another zoon. Various heritage strategies were applied according to existing conditions and program requirements under the larger design frame. Elaborating on all the scale levels, the architect designed a system that includes urban masterplan, district planning, district programs, heritage regulation/rules, and building case design. This integrated design resulted in suggesting future development of Pecinan with leading building examples and exploring the possibility of vernacular heritage settlement design.
