Volume 12, Issue 2 of Nature: National Academic Journal of Architecture presents a diverse collection of studies that deepen the discourse on architectural design from multiple perspectives. The articles explore cultural values in settlement formation, biophilic strategies for healthier learning environments, and the effectiveness of wayfinding as a spatial design element. Analyses of prayer space integration in cafés, the preservation of the historic area of Samarinda Seberang, and the visual identity of colonial façades in Surabaya highlight how design shapes spatial experience. Technical inquiries into bamboo joint selection, the advancement of measurand isovist interpretation for spatio-visual analysis, the transformation of space in the Buka Luwur tradition, a review of daylighting strategies in tropical vertical housing, and interpretations of visitor experience at the Ratu Boko site further enrich this issue. Together, these contributions offer valuable insights for the development of contemporary architectural design theory and practice.
