For decades, mass development of housing blocks area (Mikrorayon) focused only on the functionality and density, creates urban voids that are formed by high-density blocks. The proposal will be reconsidering urban void to become productive spaces that generate community resilience and a circular economy. By eliminating massive parking lots, the proposal brings the module filled with productive functions generates by the community and for the community itself. The parameters measurement adjusts the configuration of the productive functions determined by solar radiation, the ages and types of population, and the physical layout of the block. Hence, the configuration of the module in each void block will be variant and create inter-relation of circular exchange of resources and production between the Mikrorayons. It is a strategy to create not only the community scale self-sufficient resilience but also mutualism link between each block bringing circular economy in a broader urban scale.

2017 / Academic / 1st Master Degree Dissertation 2
Utilising Space Syntax methodology along with observation in a real site, this research focuses on finding the pattern of spatial configuration among pavilion. Following the theory of Espace Synthetique by Davalon (2003), this research looks for the possibility of pavilions to become a participatory element with visitors. It is shown from the comparative study of pavilions that several shared principles among pavilions emerged from specific variables. Moreover, by adopting Psarra’s (2009) idea of narrative and sequence in the spatial configuration of exhibition space, the present research looks at the possibility of changing visitor narrative affected by the pavilion presence. By the data resulted from Space Syntax and observation, the case study of 2017 Serpentine’s Summer Pavilion shows that pavilion has a strategy to distribute visitor movement from all entrances affecting the access of visitors to the Serpentine Gallery.
The research project comprises two studies i.e. comparative and case study, which seek the shared principles and the relation of geometry with visitor movement in the Serpentine Summer Pavilions as temporary exhibition space. Serpentine Summer Pavilion as an architecture laboratory has many spatial configuration and geometry since 2000. The comparative study compares 17 pavilions and the case study focused only on 2017 Serpentine’s Summer Pavilion with on-site observation.

Agent analysis A.I Space Syntax. The analysis shows the character of each pavilion in a response to creating user behaviour patterns. This is also related to the hotspot area, which is denser by the user occupying space. The hotter colour indicates that the high-intensity numbers of A.I pass the space than the cooler space which has less A.I movement.
The hotter colour indicates that the space ability to drive visitor movements by high visibility while the cold colour shows less integrated and more secluded.
The classification of pavilions by shape and geometric form.
Superimposed analysis for the 2017 pavilion. The axial analysis shows that only two entrance facing each other that has better visual for interaction to the Serpentine Gallery (indicated by the red line). However, the people movement analysis shows that many people come from the entrance which does not have a direct visual connection to the gallery instead it’s connected to the entrance gate of the Serpentine lawn.

The image above shows the Artificial Intelligent (AI) analysis from Depthmap X for the 2017 pavilion. The analysis shows the possibilities of human behaviour and the movement through the spaces. It is shown that the centre space of the pavilion has more human interaction and move towards just only to two exit ways.

Pos Indonesia mixed-use is a project to re-visioning Pos Indonesia Jakarta Headquarter. Combining heritage building and modern development, the master plan consists of a new office tower with two high-rises residential and retail strips. The site is located in the heritage district of Sawah Besar, formerly named Weltvreden in the colonial ages.

Spatial analysis Space Syntax Enhancing plaza creating opportunities The models run in Space Syntax analysis shows that making a plaza creates a possibility of agglomeration of people in between the heritage and new development. The open space plaza in the centre could distribute the opportunity for shops to grow in the inner space.
Equally spaceagglomerationdistributedofoccupied How to create equal opportunities for the commercial strip within the new development? The answer was to distribute the agglomeration of people occupied spaces and pedestrian movement equally. With the centre plaza within the precinct, pedestrians will distribute better to the surrounding precinct and equal opportunities for the commercial as in the corner plaza.High Intensity A.I Steps.

Creating an in-between space between heritage building and new development aims to create a simultaneous communication between two-generation, shaping public understanding of the time era of architectural legacy. The space will provide an open space for cultural performance in an open-air amphitheatre and a public plaza. Cultural Space Lumion + Adobe Photosop Old and new cultural space

A 500 sqm reflecting pond is designed as a reflecting element to emphasise the heritage theatre building. Moreover, reflecting pond as an element to reduce heat from the pavement and plaza in the midday.
The new theatre building is shaped in a curvy form inspired by the Roman amphitheatre. The concave parabolic form can improve the sound by reflecting sound waves to the centre.
The new theatre building mass stretched on each opposite corner, responded to the two activities nodes, The public plaza in front of the heritage theatre and the central plaza in the development. Cultural Hub

The new development has potential for a cultural hub with the new modern theatre and amphitheatre plaza supporting existing heritage theatre.

A Thegroundscraper:PertaminaHeadquarter
Pertamina Headquarters is a project to design headquarter of the Indonesian energy company, Pertamina. The concept is a ground scraper, a horizontal building that arises from the floor requirements while the heights are restricted to 21 storeys and respond to the heritage building in the street side. The new building stands on the same former building footprint but with a plaza in the centre as an open square.
