Located
at
the
heart
of
BSD
City,
one
of
the
largest
township
developments
in
Jabodetabek
area,
southwest
of
Ja-‐ karta,
Indonesia.
With
excellent
access,
quality
facilities
and
infrastructure,
fastest
growth
area,
and
also
biggest
in-‐ vestment
opportunities,
this
new
city
is
chosen
for
the
location
of
the
project. Site-‐planning,
building,
and
designing
are
the
proposed
solutions
for
the
challenges
in
this
project,
such
as
how
to
integrate
the
performance
area,
public
space
in
one
big
area,
and
the
other
facilities
surround
the
site,
how
to
order
all
the
space
programmes
in
the
effective
way
with
good
circulation
in
one
building,
and
how
to
design
an
iconic
building
without
avoid
the
local
culture. About
5
(five)
kinds
of
analysis
have
been
conducted
to
find
out
the
right
concept
for
this
project,
including
site
About analysis,
activity
analysis,
user
analysis,
space
and
shape
analysis,
and
structure
and
utility
analysis.
Those
analysis
were
supported
with
some
literatures
about
performing
arts
centre,
due
to
the
many
requirements
that
need
to
be
prepared
for
this
5-‐acre
site. As
the
result
of
the
research,
the
main
idea
for
shaping
the
buildings
is
from
the
logo
of
BSD
City
as
the
client
to
rep-‐ resent
the
location
of
this
complex.
The
design
concept
is
also
inspired
by
some
references
related
to
performing
arts
centre,
high-‐tech
buildings
and
green
concept.

The
masterplan
consists
of
two
buildings:
a
performance
building
(north)
and
a
public
building
(south).
The
performance
building
is
de-‐ signed
to
be
an
iconic
building,
and
still
keep
the
modern
and
private
features.
Concert
Hall,
Opera
House
and
management
offices
are
the
main
function
in
this
building,
while
the
outdoor
theatre
is
standing
between
the
performance
and
public
building. The
public
building
is
open
for
the
public,
drowned
to
blend
with
the
landscape
and
give
a
respect
for
the
performance
building
as
the
main
building.
This
building
for
commercial
use
with
greenroof
at
the
top
of
it,
so
there
is
no
financial
problem
regarding
to
the
concept. No
parking
area
is
designed
in
the
site
as
there
is
many
parking
spaces
next
to
the
site,
but
there
is
still
around
200
parking
spaces
in
the
basement
only
for
players,
management
and
VIP.
There
is
also
a
cross-‐circulation
in
the
master
plan
to
make
the
site
accessible
and
con-‐ nect
all
of
the
surrounding
areas. Overall,
the
site
is
created
as
a
mixed-‐use
between
free-‐park
for
public,
commercial
uses
and
entertainment
facilities
for
music
lovers
that
can
provide
a
vibrant
place
between
busy
places
around
the
site.
As
one
of
the
urban
design
studio
assignment
while
taking
Master
Degree,
this
project
is
more
focused
on
the
process
of
determine
the
main
problems
on
the
area,
then
answer
them
without
changing
the
existing
buildings
and
spending
much
expenses.
The
area
is
one
of
London’s
high
streets
that
has
Surbiton
Railway
Station
as
the
main
hub
of
the
area
and
many
commercial
facilities
along
the
high
street.
Two
sites
were
chosen
as
the
object
of
the
project
for
improve-‐ ment
because
of
their
potential
and
importance
within
the
area.
The
proposed
design
were
based
on
comprehensive
literature
review,
site
analysis
and
public
consultation.
The
concept
of
a
better
high
street
in
Mary
Portas’
Review
were
taken
as
theory
references,
while
the
area
study
was
supported
by
guidance
from
Core
Strategy
and
Local
Development
Framework
(LDF)
of
Royal
Borough
of
Kingston
(RBK). Land Use
Map,
Density
and
Circulation
Map
and
Sidewalk
Width
analysis
are
some
of
the
sIte
analysis
that
have
been
Land
conducted
as
part
of
the
research.
The
width
of
the
main
highstreet
(Victoria
st)
then
redesigned
to
prioritise
the
access
only
for
public
transport
and
pedestrian.
Menwhile,
for
public
consultation
method,
video
interview
and
questionnaire
are
quite
useful
for
seeking
the
problems
and
solutions
regarding
the
site.
The
main
aim/vision
of
this
project
is
creating
‘Surbiton
as
a
key
commuting
and
business
hub
of
RBK
with
a
vibrant
and
sustainable
retail
environment’.
It
can
be
seen
on
the
pro-‐ posed
design
of
the
new
masterplan,
in
which
two
potential
areas
have
been
optimised
to
enhance
the
use
of
public
places.
Both
areas
are
located
in
the
different
edge
of
the
district
centre
with
different
function,
but
connected
by
the
highstreet
as
the
heart
of
main
accessibility.
They
are
station
forecourt
in
the
east
side
and
community
space
in
the
west
side. The
new
Surbiton
station
forecourt
concept
is
integrating
the
connection
between
the
station
and
its
high
street
to
create
a
‘gateway’
to/from
the
station
and
public
realm
around
the
place,
by
widening
public
space
and
access
in
front
the
station
as
the
main
entrance,
moving
the
vehicle
access
(both
drop
off
and
parking
area)
and
provide
some
public
furni-‐ tures.
Meanwhile,
the
Community
Space
is
designed
to
enhance
public
realm
among
the
retail
centre
by
creating
facilities
to
all
kinds
of
users.
There
are
5
facilities
provided,
includ-‐ ing
Playground,
Seating
Area,
Meeting
Point,
Eating/Market
Area
and
Retail
Area.
In
addition,
proposed
circulation
route
was
also
provided
to
create
the
area
more
friendly
for
pe-‐ ing destrian.
