Thoughts “There’s nothing worse than answering the wrong questions well. - Alejandro Aravena | Pritzker Prize Laureate 2016”

one of my good friends is currently attending TU Delft for his master degree. I also got inspired to study in the Netherlands after attending KTCF 2014, where I was appointed as an architectural assistant with several of my friends mainly for the Dutch architecture firm KCAP, as well as helping out OMA and MVRDV.

Studies in Architecture at Institut Teknologi Bandung and my work experiences in Area Designs, CPG Consultants, and Future Cities Laboratory gave me better insight in the world of architecture.

Through studio projects, classes, and student activities I learnt that architecture is knowledge to build a better environment for people and the world. Everyone deserves good design, whether you are a large multi-million company down to lower income people and the public.

Landscape is much more than just sidewalks, trees and plants, to me more importantly it provides an experience and certain ambiance for the users. In the early 2000s well designed landscapes and outdoor areas are seldom found in Indonesia, with focus mostly on building shopping malls, and car roads. Since 2010, cities in Indonesia started to give more thought and care towards the design of outdoor spaces and parks such as in Surabaya, Bandung, and Jakarta. I see this as an opportunity and challenge that I would like to contribute to, and attending Landscape Architecture at TU Delft would be a perfect way for me to develop the skills needed to conquer this issue.

My final project was to design a golf clubhouse and resort in the city of Bandung. Challenges faced in the design are the steep contour, and the awkward lean boundary of the site. The design of Dago Endah Golf Clubhouse and Resort was to split the site into two areas, with the northern part near the 1st hole tee box and 18th hole green for the clubhouse, and the resort area in the south. The resort will accommodate 80+ rooms in the hotel building, with six 2 story bungalows to add to the resort. A boardwalk and viewing deck is located between the clubhouse and resort area to connect the two.

Further studies in the architecture field has been a goal of mine in my early college days. Stories from my lecturers and seniors inspired me to apply for the field of Landscape Architecture in TU Delft. TU Delft has always had a good history with my alma-mater ITB, and 2

01 Architectural Research Project ETH Zurich - Future Cities Laboratory, Singapore Tropical Town | Batam & Jakarta, Indonesia Tropical Town is a research project at the Future Cities Laboratory, Singapore. The research is about seeding sustainable settlements in the rural cities of Asia, particularly in Indonesia. The town is not a masterplan or design, rather a guideline of street widths, sustainability factors, and housing standards that should be met.

Tropical Town incorporates incremental building of the houses, as well as rainwater harvesting and photovoltaic energy captured in the individual housing units called RUBAH (Expandable House). At the town level there will be wastewater management with communal septic tanks, green belt bamboo forests, as well as large public spaces for each neighbourhood.

This drawing represents the main principles of Tropical Town. The large buildings are a sustainable RUSUN (apartment type) building, with RUBAH (1-3 story house) surrounding them. The 1 hectare plan consists of 1 or 2 RUSUN models, and 68-100 RUBAH models according to the needs. Tropical town incorporates many sustainable principles for each individual house and also the whole neighbourhood itself. Key elements in the RUBAH design are the main utilities and structural core, the capability to extend the house up to three stories, rainwater collection from the roof tops, solarpanels, and also the sustainable materials to be used on the units. On a larger scale, the neighbourhoods also have rainwater collectors underneath the public spaces, bamboo plantation strips and workshops, also communal septic tanks for one hundred units.

02 Architectural Revitalisation Kota Tua Creative Festival 2014 Gedung Samudera Installation with KCAP | Jakarta, Indonesia Gedung Samudera Installation was a project for Kota Tua Creative Festival 2014. It was part of the segment Jakarta Old Town Reborn which featured six other buildings that were redesigned by famous Indonesian and Dutch architects.

The Samudera building is intended to still be owned by PT. Samudera in the future, so the installation should act as a catalyst to future development. The installation, which will be constructed out of bamboo will replace half of the front facade that got torn down in the great Jakarta flood of 2008.

2. Bring back key elements of the facade for repetition

3. Design a simple installation made from bamboo to bring back facade

Bamboo is used because it’s a common material found in Java

Bamboo flexible for construction and can be used in many ways

Bamboo is flexible and can be curved.

It also can be preserved.

The aim of the project was to design an installation for Kota Tua Creative Festival 2014. This installation was designed to be temporary, and was kept for one month by the Samudera Company.

Two alternatives of the Samudera Building program.

A timeline of the Samudera Building history. It was built in 1920 by a dutch architect, and then owned by the Samudera company in the late 1900s. In 2008 there was the great flood of Jakarta that collapsed half of the buildings facade.

In 2013 an initiative was made to renew seven buildings in the Kota Tua area (including Gedung Samudera). In mid 2014 a bamboo installation was installed for KTCF 2014.

The third alternative for the Samudera Building. This alternative removes the bamboo installationcompletely, and results in a full office building with the old facade being restored to its natural state.

03 Architecture Studio Final Project Institut Teknologi Bandung Dago Endah Golf Clubhouse and Resort | Bandung, Indonesia Dago Endah Golf Clubhouse and Resort was my final project to get my Bachelors degree in ITB. The project was to design a golf clubhouse replacing the existing one and adding features such as a resort hotel and spa. The golf clubhouse is situated at the top of the hill to maximize view and circulation to the golf course. The resort is connected by a large boulevard that also acts as a viewing deck along the first hole. This configuration of the plan should maximize the land of this golfing resort.

04 Architecture Studio 4th Year Institut Teknologi Bandung Revitalisation of Stasiun Semut | Surabaya, Indonesia Stasiun Semut is a heritage building in the city of Surabaya, Indonesia. In 2012 I was a participant in a joint studio workshop to revitalize the station as a museum because of its close proximity to the newly built Stasiun Semut station.

The design will improve the landscape of the museum by creating a new urban green space in front of the museum, which will divert the existing motor vehicle road in front of it. Two new buildings will be added to the plan, one right behind the old building, and one across the tracks. The museum buildings will be connected by a skybridge that goes over the train tracks.

Musealization of the Archaeological Site of Praça Nova of São Jorge Castle by JLCG Arquitectos is designed by adding a simple white block mass that compliments the details of the castle.

Designed by renowned architect Santiago Calatrava, Satolas TGV station is built over the train tracks. It brings an extra activity of watching the train pass under the bridge structure.

Workshops and discussions were held by ITS, ITB, and FHE alongside the professors with the people from the Indonesian Railways Company.

The drawings are initial design ideas from my 4 person group.

Our main concept was to create a green museum, with a large park designed to enclose the museum.
