• Resumen

  • The paper addresses sustainability within the context of an undergraduate research project located outside Yogyakarta, Indonesia that involved students from the Purdue School of Engineering and Technology (IUPUI). The project focused on the architecture and sustainable building practices of this far eastern region of the world and in particular a shop house located in the art market. This paper discusses how the conceptual design of this shop house was created under the direction of sound, local, sustainable building practices that were obtained from survey data distributed to Indonesian designers.
