Fabrication Engineering And Sustainable Urbanism: The Case Of Vertical Housing Development In Indonesia

Abstract

Engineering is a principle of science in the implementation of design, construction, and efficient operation of frameworks, equipment, and economic systems, with the aim of assuming that it facilitates the optimal solution of human problems. Sustainable Urbanism is the study of cities and their development methods that campaigns long-term sustainability through the reduction of resource consumption, waste, and adverse impacts on people and the environment, while improving the overall well-being of the population and the city itself. Fabricated in Architecture is an innovative construction method with building elements fabricated in advance at the factory, thereby speeding up processes, reducing errors, and minimizing waste. All three are integrated in the engineering of sustainable residential megastructures, which effectively maintain the "importance of blue skies and green open spaces" that humans feel so strongly about, especially during the rise of natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes, and extreme climate change. This approach combines prefabricated fabrication for engineering efficiency, sustainable urbanism principles for long-term environmental resilience, and smart vertical design to create eco-friendly housing amid an increasing urban population density. The research used the literature review method and was analyzed using the descriptive analysis method.
