jismart2024047: The Characteristic of Riverside Heritage Facades in Shaping City’s Identity - Part I

Abstract

During Indonesia's Dutch colonial era, Kalimas was a port area, making it a multicultural urban area. Interestingly, these disparate cultures coexist and form a highly integrated region. In this paper, we attempt to describe selected buildings along Veteran Street, Jembatan Merah Street, Rajawali Street, and North Kalimas Street which are significant district in riverside area. This research aims to characterize the varied culture of the Kalimas Riverside buildings facade and the architectural responses that have been done in the past. In addition, result of this research will be used to recommend the better integration of new structures in Surabaya especially, and other similar area. Future study may use this data and information as a reference to further identify and classify the façade for conservation development.
