【 摘 要 】

Spa has become the fast-growing and produce third biggest revenue of Indonesia in Asia just behind India and China. The growth of Jakarta requires advanced development of "the other" spa architecture to accomodate the metropolitan's necessities through new architectural form. Furthermore, often seen as an arbritrarily replicated spaces in typical shophouses, spa is masked by ornamentation of cultural decorum and looses its architectural essence behind the excuse of 'tradition'. Taman Sari Royal Heritage Spa is chosen as the sample of this research as it is located in the heart of Jakarta, meanwhile being the most replicated spa brand in Indonesia and it represents the infamous Taman Sari bath in Yogyakarta. In order to re-Think the core of Indonesian spa, the genuine idea of Taman Sari has to be revisited and reconnected to Jakarta's context. More than re-searching the essence of spa architecture from global-local context, the new development of spa-scraper opens up the possibilities of generating the future of architectural form through series of transformational diagrammatic matrixes and compositional methods in typo-morphology. The goal of this paper is blending theoretical and methodological approaches to transforms urban artifacts (Taman Sari) into new beauty-relaxation machine (Taman Sari Royal Heritage Spa) in Jakarta.
