Abstract

Pontianak, as the capital city of West Kalimantan Province, has a very rapid development at this time. Construction of buildings and commercial buildings has greatly improved, especially in arterial road and collector road corridors in the city center. Along with the development, it should be balanced with the quality of the road space. However, in reality, it only shows the beauty of the building and has not provided the beauty of the corridor space, so it needs to be identified, evaluated and analyzed to achieve visual images that provide aesthetic corridor space. The purpose of this study was to identify the physical characteristics of the road corridor space, especially the building facade at Diponegoro Street, Agus Salim Street, and Gajahmada Street, in order to design the direction of the city's aesthetic design and to strengthen the visual quality of the road corridor based on spatial quality elements. This research is included in the type of qualitative-descriptive research, which is carried out using an analytical approach by identifying physical characteristics of corridor space based on unity design, assessing visual quality based on identification of spatial quality elements of space, and directing the design. The expected results are the direction of urban aesthetic that strengthens visual quality in the corridor in Pontianak City Center.
