embrarch embracing architecture

overviewing my 3 year journey in the field of architecture as opening sequences to embrace the bigger narratives of my architecture coming-of-age story. embracing architecture becomes set list of storyboards consisting early stages act(s) in the narratives, depicted on several selected project(s) created over the 3 year plot(s).

Hello! I am the narrative creator & actor of this story namely...

Maheswara Rizky Pasopati

I am a 3rd year undergraduate from Universitas Diponegoro currently majoring in Architecture. Having immense enthusiasm in exploratory and research-based architecture with enthusiastic, jolly, open-minded and easygoing persona, I always seek for new adventurous opportunity that boosts me to be more observant of life itself, constantly develop self motivation, and try to spread knowledges and benefits.

Out of the fields of architecture, I am actively keeping up with local art scene such as cinema, cinematic narratives and music. I am always eager to challenge myself to adapt to new situations, which makes me enjoy being a leader and working as a team.

: 2023 : academic project for 2nd Perancangan Arsitektur : underground pedestrian hub : Tugu Muda Park, Semarang

observing contextual aspects at Tugu Muda Park area- one of the highest mobility and most popular monumental city nodes in Semarang- famous for it’s Tugu Muda monument, the design of lingkar pemuda formed an effort to connect & “encircle” an environment with urban connectivity, pedestrians, and historical preservation software used: AutoCAD, Sketch Up, Enscape Miro Board, Figma language: English

underground connection hub

environment connectivity is reached with viewing the park as a contextual urban connector from its varied activity

The issue.

Dangerous Accessibility Tugu Muda City Park has not yet achieved good environmental connectivity parameters, due to its dangerous accessibility. each of these roads has traffic lights and zebra crossings. as a result of busy traffic, Tugu Muda Park in the center can only be accessed via a zebra crossing. this makes accessibility to the inside quite difficult because it is dangerous for pedestrians and traffic, considering people tend to cross to the park not via zebra cross

Vista blockade

from various points of view, which are dense with traffic and dense pedestrians in the environment, it appears that the view from and to the environment is blocked. causing the accumulated blockade to be unable to obtain space processing above ground

as the environment connector

tugu muda park Historical Preservation

even though the existing neighborhood already has many historical aspects in the form of museums and historic buildings, the landmarks that have become the identity of the neighborhood have not yet received sufficient historical respect and commemoration.

Underground connection becomes the solution! stormwater control

01 Lingkar Pemuda

underground connection hub

chosing the Tugu Muda park site as an environmental node

defining area to explore the site configuration

adding area for pedestrian paths, inward and outward iterations of 8 meters

pedestrians outward. additional transition space in the form of gates which are placed according to the location of landmarks which become environmental beacons

pedestrians inward. additional transition space in the form of gates whose placement corresponds to the location of landmarks which become environmental beacons

adding checkpoints and corridors to circulation where the reach is too far, then reducing the area that is considered negative space because it does not pass through the main reach

the outward pedestrian iteration is considered not efficient because it adds quite a large area, also considering safety because it is under the main road.

placing spaces along the circulation as a result of considering the importance of circulation and accessibility from the environmental connectivity program. the addition of open gardens and ramps is intended to increase aboveground underground connectivity, so that natural light and air can still enter below, as well as easy accessibility to aboveground

a split-level house belonging to an ideal family of 2 children and 1 household member on contoured land as a place for representation, adaptation, implementation of the surrounding culture, the values it contains, and its philosophical meaning

software used: AutoCAD, Sketch Up, Enscape Figma language: English

02 TRIAS House

split-level dwelling house

user-based dwelling

describing the life activities inside and outside the dwelling of each user, then finding the room needs and requirements that can accommodate analyzed activities. it was found that there were several similarities in the needs for primary and hobby space, as well as the need for housekeeping space

abstract metaphore architecture

adapting whispers of the intangible such as theoretical design principles & contextual background, woving it into the very fabric of the dwelling.

theoretical design

which translated by Richard Buchanan to it’s designing implementation

02 TRIAS House

split-level dwelling house

designing a contoured site proposed site located at a moderate mobility settlement in Semarang, with site area of +1.100 m². having a descending contour towards North downward up to 4m height, comes the responsive need to make the house a split level architecture

zoning

mass forming

composing earliest site mass filling the contour (making it flat) before deciding how to work with the contour

cutting contours into 3 level with height of 2m each, making the site to be 3 level of split level. then placing 3 rectangular mass into 3 different levels to work with as earliest mass composition

public semi-private private service

creating voids on several point from the mass compositions to enable natural lighting and natural ventilation as a design respond of its context climate and tropical concept

dividing mass composition considering the dwelling needs and its space requirements such as space characters, spaces connectivity, and room configuration
