Modern architecture, especially in Indonesia, is (again) in the trend for referring back to the traditional architecture and incorporating it as part of the design. However, I believe by incorporating vernacular architecture in the modern context does not simply mean copy-pasting the form of the vernacular. It shows how lazy and shallow we are in the process of design thinking.
What should we make then?
What are things that make architecture meaningful?
Why should we copy if we can make our own?
