It always starts with: where is the architecture?
A summary of architecture works as a design and ever-learning process.
High-Density Housing in Kampung Braga
Maintaining social bonds within the existing coomunities is the main design issue in revitalization of high-density settlement at Kampung Braga. The narrow site indicates the low-quality living environment and low-income communities. Aiming for public spaces within dense communities, mixing single and double loaded corridor and flexible unit system is proposed. Continuous corridor reserves existing communication among residents and helps to evacute in case of emergency. Block masses are designed in a way oriented adjacent river.
Bandung Tea Museum
The greatest challenge in museum design is establishing a magnet attraction for public to stop by and visit. Thus, the first concept is re-branding museum as urban public space. Combination of multi-function building, green plaza, and retails at the front fills the setback, trying to capture urban life as the facade. Solid and void plays in the museum made by careful site-planning in the long-narrow site. Juxtaposition of vernacular muti-function building at the front and modern museum at the back seeks another contrast yet intriguing ambience.
High-Density Housing in Sukajadi
Creating a livable environment within high-density settlement is the focus of the design. Located in the downtown area of Bandung, the housing proposes a new concept of urban living for low-income communities. Terrace housing seeks a brand-new perspective in urban living. Moreover, the transparent public space of terrace support social interaction between residents.
