Nature: National Academic Journal of Architecture, Volume 13 Number 1 (June 2026), has been published, featuring eleven articles that explore a wide range of contemporary architectural issues—from façade systems as connectors of space and time, the transformation of alun-alun as multi-spatial environments, and the identity of riparian traditional markets, to the resilience of stilt houses in flood-prone tropical settlements. This edition also highlights studies on the contextual scale of Chinatown areas, pedestrian comfort and safety, spatial concepts such as space within space, and the relationship between bar placement and façade design in small-to-medium coffee shops.
