Reka Rupa Rasa Kalimas

Revitalizing Historic Areas with Immersive Experiences

The abandoned Kalimas River activity and fading cultural values in the Pabean area, Surabaya, indicate serious challenges to the sustainability and diversity of the urban environment. In the context of Kalimas River revitalization, it refers to efforts to design or beautify the physical appearance and environment around the river, including architectural arrangements, garden arrangements, construction of public facilities, and the like, which will increase the beauty and comfort so that it can be used by the community. The concept we have adopted is a concept that considers sustainable and inclusive strategies, not only accommodating physical and economic needs, but also respecting cultural heritage and the environment.

The site is located in the middle Kalimas River corridor. Therefore, the site is a strategic point in supporting the activation of the Kalimas River corridor. The site is located around an industrial area and has easy access

Our concept planning encourages various activities in the river corridor area. Locations that were previously neglected have now become functional public spaces for the surrounding community, while maintaining cultural and environmental values.
