THE BOX CREATIVE HUB

2.500 m2 | third-year studio | Bandung | commercial | 2023

Supervisor: Ir. Wiwik Dwi Pratiwi, M.E.S., Ph.D.

Tools: AutoCAD, SketchUp, Enscape, Adobe Photoshop

This project was completed within half a semester and focused on creating a community-based public space in Bandung under the Pasupati Bridge. We were instructed to accommodate social and commercial functions that are integrated into a placemaking-oriented design, emphasizing community, creativity, and safety.

In this project, I designed the building mass with a box shape composed of steel structure modules as the main material, which is relatively easy to construct. The building embodies a vibrant concept with a dominant color scheme of red and orange, appealing to the younger generation, combined with a diverse range of perforated metal facades.

design concepts

Open Public Space

The concept of open space answers the security challenges of the site located under the bridge, with many negative spaces that can enhance surveillance.

Universal Design Facilities

The concept of universal design accommodates the diverse backgrounds of visitors, including the elderly and people with disabilities.

Low Maintenance

The site being under the bridge also implies the need for a building that is easy to assemble and maintain for the comfort and safety of visitors.

Vibrant Design

Considering the proximity to the campus area, I aimed to offer a vibrant concept that would be appealing to the students around the site.

With its facilities and design concepts, The Box aims to become a creative space that brings together various visitors, especially students around the site, for creative and collaborative learning and creating.

STONE GARDEN VISITOR CENTER

1.200 m2 | third-year studio | Bandung | commercial | 2022

Supervisor: Ir. Achmad Deni Tardiyana, MUDD.

Tools: AutoCAD, SketchUp, Enscape, Adobe Photoshop

This project was completed within half a semester and focused on creating a visitor center in the Stone Garden Citatah, Bandung. We were instructed to accommodate various functions such as ticket sales, exhibitions, and commercial areas in an integrated approach to multi-mass design.

In this project, I designed the building mass with an analogy to the existing karst rock formations on the site, using exposed concrete materials to blend with the surrounding environment. As one of the main attraction of the visitor center, the exhibition is designed to provide visitors with a spatial experience, not just to see the rocks, but also to feel the prehistoric landscape of Bandung filled with ancient lakes.

VISITOR CENTER

Stone Garden Citatah is a karst rock area formed by the erosion that has happened over thousands of years. These rocks are formed from coral reefs in Bandung, which was once a ancient lake millions of years ago. Today, this area becomes one of the oldest evidences of the history of Java Island formation. The visitor center itself was inspired by the history of the area.

design concepts

subtraction & addition

The visitor center itself was inspired by the history of the area. It consists of three masses separated based on their functions, the exhibition area, commercial area, and service area. These three masses are then bent following the golden ratio shape to create a more fluid form. Finally, the masses are then added and subtracted to create an analogy to the dynamic shape of Citatah karst rocks.

One of the exhibition spaces is the visual experience room, which presents a reflecting pool at the end of the indoor exhibition path. The use of the reflecting pool is intended to create a water reflection effect on the concrete walls due to the play of light produced by the lamps at the bottom of the pool. This lighting produces water reflections with various color variations that are appealing to visitors.

The visitor center is oriented towards the northeast and southwest, providing vistas towards the scenic views of the Stone Garden area. To enhance visitors experience in enjoying the beautiful karst rock landscape, the visitor center provides a spacious outdoor terrace at the back of the building, equipped with a viewing deck.

On the west side, there is a cafe intended for visitors to dine and drink while enjoying the karst rock landscape. The cafe consists of two floors, each with large openings towards the view. The cafe also has an outdoor area, allowing visitors to further immerse themselves in the experience of dining and drinking amidst the beautiful expanse of rocks.

GEMPOL MARKET & CO-LIVING

1.600 m2 | third-year studio | Bandung | commercial & residential | 2022

Supervisor: Ir. Achmad Deni Tardiyana, MUDD.

Tools: AutoCAD, SketchUp, Enscape, Adobe Photoshop

This project was completed within half a semester and focused on redesigning the Gempol Market area with retail, market, and housing units that are safe and comfortable for users. Additionally, we were instructed to create a more public-friendly Gempol Market area with supporting facilities such as public toilets and open public spaces.

In this project, I designed a four-story mixed-use building that is divided based on residential and commercial zoning. The building is designed to obtain natural lighting and ventilation through openings on each side of the building. Public open space is presented in the form of a courtyard located on the main axis of Gempol Street, making it able to form a circulation towards the back street of Gempol which is also filled with food and beverage shops.

design concepts

To respond to the site's climatic and social conditions, the original box-shaped building mass is subtracted in the middle to create a void that functions to transfer natural light to the courtyard on the ground floor.

The void is then enlarged by pushing back a portion of the building mass to conform to the applicable land regulations on the site. This supports the courtyard's function as a communal area and main circulation path, ensuring sufficient sunlight.

Then, the mass is added and subtracted according to the residential and commercial zoning on each floor to create a form that can respond to lighting and ventilation on each side of the building through a unique form approach view of parking area

The building facade is constructed using wood materials arranged repetitively to create an aesthetic rhythm when viewed by visitors. However, this facade also serves a functional purpose as sun shading to prevent direct sunlight from entering the interior spaces. The direction of the sun shading is adjusted based on the orientation of sunlight. Additionally, the facade also serves to maintain user privacy by preventing views from the street.

OTHER WORKS

These are a compilation of my other academic and non-academic architectural work from 2021 to 2023 such as structural explorations, maquettes, posters, and hand sketches.

| VECTOR ACTIVE SYSTEM EXPLORATION

VECTOR ACTIVE SYSTEM

third-year studio | team project | structural exploration | 2023

Supervisor: Dibya Kusyala, S.T., M.T. & Fauzan Alfi

Agirachman, S.T., M.T., Ph.D.

Tools: AutoCAD, SketchUp, Enscape

This project focuses on exploring vector active and bulk active structures. I had the opportunity to explore the vector active structural system in this project. We were instructed to apply this structure to a building that has a certain approach in form.

The analogy of the form that we chose is the shape of a blue jay bird, which was inspired by the mockingjay bird in Suzanne Collins' series The Hunger Games. By applying the vector active structure system, we used bamboo material to form the "backbone" and "wings" structure of the blue jay bird. The building we created functions as a pavilion that can be used for communal activities such as weddings.

STEEL CONSTRUCTION

third-year studio | team project | structural exploration | 2022

Supervisor: Mochamad Donny Koerniawan, S.T, M.T.

Tools: AutoCAD, SketchUp, Enscape

This project focuses on the exploration of advanced steel construction. I had the opportunity to explore a steel construction system inspired by the Hamburg International Airport in this project. We were instructed to apply steel construction that has a specific function and can be used in daily life.

The function we chose is a sports arena with a span of about 25 meters that can be built on the ITB campus. This sports arena is also equipped with perforated metal facade that adds to the aesthetics and sun shadings.
