Saya tidak pernah menyangka studio kami bisa masuk ke Wallpaper Magazine. Saya mengenal Wallpaper dari publikasi yang selalu mencari cerita / design yang avant garde. Proyek ini dinamakan direktori arsitek 2021. yang dimulai pada tahun 2000 yang berisi daftar bakat biro arsitek yang menjanjikan, Direktori Arsitek Wallpaper* adalah daftar tahunan tentang praktik “menjanjikan” dari seluruh dunia. Proyek dari Wallpaper ini telah, selama bertahun-tahun menampilkan gaya dan antar benua, sambil selalu memperjuangkan studio muda terbaik dan paling menarik. Proyek ini juga menampilkan karya inspiratif dengan penekanan pada tempat tinggal. Sekarang termasuk lebih dari 500 alumni dan terus bertambah, Direktori Arsitek kembali untuk edisi ke-21. Bergabunglah dengan kami saat kami meluncurkan survei tahun ini – 20 studio muda, dari Australia, Kanada, Cina, Kolombia, Ghana, India, Indonesia, Jepang, Malaysia, Meksiko, Belanda, Nigeria, Afrika Selatan, Korea Selatan, Spanyol, Swedia, AS, dan Inggris yang menjanjikan, penuh ide, dan arsitektur yang menarik.

Ellie Stathaki mengirim email 3 bulan yang lalu, dan setelah itu kita berdiskusi melalui email berkali – kali untuk menseleksi apakah studio kami bisa masuk di Wallpaper kali ini. Apa yang saya lakukan di studio beserta tim semoga bisa membawa kasus – kasus yang memberikan dampak pembelajaran bagi banyak orang. Dari praktik yang menggunakan lokal, adaptasi kekriyaan, dan bagaimana metode desain kritis, desain – membangun, dan integratif antar disiplin memberikan kelenturan bagi sebuah proses desain yang bisa berganti rupa.

The Indonesian architect, the founder of RAW Architecture, the organizer of the scholarship program and the free school of architecture OMAH, the author of the books told BERLOGOS about architecture as a cultural form, locality, general architectural education and specificity of Indonesian architecture.

– Realrich, you founded RAW Architecture in 2011, continuing the dynasty of builders in your family. Did this affect your practice?

– True, my father and my grandfather are respected construction engineers, well known for their skill. I went the other way, deciding to become an architect and creating my own architectural firm in 2011. The task of the RAW office, like many other firms, is to offer a professional product in a residential environment and improve the quality of life. But we focus on exploring the possibilities of each material and realize the importance of skill.

I take projects with which I can experiment, establish a connection using local solutions, it is always a point of growth.

– You organize a scholarship program, which annually attracts people from all over Southeast Asia, who want to study architecture from the very foundations. And you introduced a free OMAH school for young people. Personally for you, why is the architectural education of the population necessary no less than any other? What is most concerned about people, what are they more interested in?

– This is the fundamental basis in the career of the architect. I offer not only theory, but also real practice – the whole spectrum of the profession that we all love. Participants in the fellowship and fellowship program are interested in how to adapt in the rapidly changing architectural practice.

If you have seen the work of Paul Klee Versunkenheit (nach der Zeichuung), depicting a man without an ear, but with eyes, a huge nose and a mouth; then I would add a huge ear and one more detail – to be an architect, a person must have a huge heart.

I think after you get the basics and pass the internship, all you need is to believe in intuition and yourself. Your heart will follow the design.

– Does it happen that your students ask questions and try to answer them in their projects?

– Whole projects have always appeared on their own, as unique people. I ask students to rely on children’s experience or the most vivid memories (spatial or not) that they had. Then I ask you to translate it into the language of design. Form planning begins and the initial sketch begins. I put before them the main problem in the form of a site plan, and they often come up with very interesting solutions to how to design this site in accordance with their own understanding of architecture. Sometimes they are curious to develop a new language, and, I think, it’s worth knowing yourself to find your passion for design.

– What does stability mean to you? How do you interpret this term?

– First, when the design copes with a local problem and displays it in a workable urban environment. It is a viable design that can react to surrounding challenges. Secondly, sustainable design is not just an existing form of modern materials. It can adapt the strengths of the terrain, surroundings and local craftsmanship. Stable design is also able to solve any problems, whether economic or social.

For example, my project Alpha Omega from the beginning to the end exists due to the social involvement of the local community. The building determined the material that corresponds to the site and conditions. Since the site is a swamp, we raised the floor 210 cm above the ground. The object is designed with several holes, allowing the natural airflow to freely enter the room. Material for construction was found within a radius of 5 km.

– One of your projects is a bioclimatic house. What is their future? Will they be the privilege of some “elite”, or will it become the norm for all people in the world?

– This was my first project and experiment, a local solution to the housing problem. Bioclimatics means that design can support itself, like the body. For example, making holes, we can control the flow of air, which allows us to always maintain the optimum temperature inside the building. I think that to some extent such a design can be the next paradigm for the formation of a residential environment in the future. This is practically feasible and has already been used in many cases as a basis.

– You wrote Alpha: Never-Ending Discussion in Strange Architecture, which mentioned several levels of architecture and evaluation that shape our culture. Could you tell us about them in brief?

And, do you think, has the place of architecture in culture changed over time?

– I had an idea to gather thoughts to improve literacy in architecture, try to talk with young people in the OMAH library, based on the provisions of many books and lectures. One of them – “Understanding Architecture” Conway and Roenich – explains the importance of understanding the architecture, rather than its assessment. In one layer, architecture serves as an art, in the other Architecture as a form of cultural expression has not undergone major changes. Today’s architecture, especially the housing problem associated with the use and restriction of land, has raised interest in efficiency. It’s about what you can do with small spaces. The challenge is to shift project constraints through design.

– What is the role of architecture in Indonesian culture? How would you describe Indonesian architecture?

“My last project of the Alfa Omega school is probably an example of my interpretation of Indonesian architecture. Since the school is in a remote location, the construction depended on what was available on the site. It turned out that with the help of material and human resources, with bamboo, brick and steel for 4 months, you can build an object that can accommodate 1200 students.

In short, Indonesian architecture, in my opinion, is a design that depends on locality, attitudes to the specifics of the context and the specific situation of the site.

Located in Alam Sutera, Tangerang, as it completed in 2016, Puncak Keemasan Group Office occupies 2.450 sqm of built area. The building is intended as office for several companies, which is a noticeable challenge in programming scheme. As part of given solution, the design proposes permeable transition to create unifying ambience with structural parabolic shape made by plywood while maintaining separation inside each chamber. Material that used as main language is plywood that covered almost all interior office. The result is jungle-like hall which connect every room with tree bookshelf and library as its main hub.

Primary concern of the design is to restrain any unecessary cost while maintain sense of playfulness and creativity.

Form of design was expressed in two main sequences. The first sequence is to convey the flow by continuous circle form of tree structured bookshelves along the path of the office. The Second sequence is the type of flow expressed through plywood ceilling placement, which creating sense of wave, thus also resulted in dynamic interior lighting. Another use of plywood is manifested in giant curvature bookshelf that also works as room partition. This bookshelf formed double curvature for a reason. The curve reversed each other vertically, like a section of double helix. This way, it has stable load point in the middle of double arch as self-supporting barrier.

The design also aims for material efficiency. By using 600 x 600 waffle module of bare plywood to cover the ceiling, gave results to its cost efficiency up to 50% to compare with normal cost. Not only as transitional element, plywood also became main form for its ceiling structure. Giant waffle is also functioned for mantling cables and pipes by the least usage of material.

Entire interior element is consistent with same porous detail; from square module bookshelf to various high for ceiling, while some part of supporting areas is using modular rectangle layout form. The detail is enhanced by low hanging edison lamp along the office, and synthetic grass carpet to heighten the jungle mood.

RAW Architecture’s Brava Casa 99 Percent Sumarah was inspired by an Indonesian form of meditation centered on the philosophy of life. Sumarah is defined as a “total surrender,” allowing the partial ego to give way to the universal self.

The practice is based on developing sensitivity and acceptance through deep relaxation of body, feelings and mind. Its aim is to create inside ourself the inner space and the silence necessary for the true self to manifest and to speak to us said the architects.

Raw Architecture’s team explained that a total surrender to life allows one to see the real beauty in the world. They added that this cycle between mind and soul is a continuous loop, which was the inspiration behind their plan for the structure.

Created with polycarbonate by Danpalon, the project is connected with steel elbow and screw bolt. By creating space within space, the architects have, in essence, created life within life by filling each box with plants or fish.

Looking at the elevation of the structure resonates with the Indonesian mountains that possess sacred meanings of human achievement. Moreover, the box-like composition was influenced by the stacking system in Indonesian temples. Ancient temples, like Borobudur and Prambanan, were formed by stacking many blocks of stone.

The best part of the structure? Its transparency. One can see through the boxes and into other forms of its life systems.

Indonesian architect Realrich Sjarief’s fondness for geometric forms is expressed in the circular and arch-shaped windows of this house and studio he designed for himself in Jakarta.

Located in Taman Meruya Ilir, West Jakarta region, Istakagrha meaning brick house,Situated in the increasingly crowded West Jakarta area, the 180 sqm house occupies a 150 sqm plot of land, 10m x 15m. Istakagrha is reflected by its name, brick House, it is a small and compact house with a orange painted color on the light weight brick, black colour , and rough concrete texture finishes.The expression creates humble and distinctive look

“We have a dream to have a house which like a villa in Bali. A house more than a functional but a place to live and grow with feel of nature, we really love staying in tranquil house” explains homeowner Mr. Ferdian Septiono and Ms. Joice Verawati Realrich Sjarief. The clients are graphic designer who are willing to have a compact sustainable house.

The architecture of istakagrha separated inside and outside with the landscape of a barrier wall made by light weight brick. The combination is stacked with pattern of solid void, which provide sense of privacy and security, meanwhile allowing sunlight and air circulation to flow inside the living room. The house faces east side allowing morning sunlight come to the space at 9 am. The stair is placed at the west side, the west side is walled with brick to provide thermal insulation. The air ventilator is placed at the west side of the house above the stair from ground to 1st floor providing fresh air circulation throught air stacking effect. The house has one open air receiving area as anteroom then no more separation wall between living, dining, and cooking which In the living room, the kitchen also takes some importance its final layout is the result of few adjustments based on the owner’s domestic habits. The only enclosed space in the ground floor is guest room, which doubles as a working space and guest bed room. A simple foyer and a light well integrated with stair, and art work is placed after the receiving area at the west side of the building. The first story houses private spaces. At the end of the corridor is 1 bedroom with shared bathroom and a walk-in closet. An simple and functional feel showering area is attached to the bathroom. The material used in this building is choosed based on the best craftmenship available in Jakarta, concrete structure is used because of the cost efficiency, engineered wood is used because of the look and lightness, metal frame for facade and sunshading are used because of durability.

3 types of brick was used based on each character. First, is light weight brick, 200 x 600 x 100 mm, for the facade. Light weight brick was chosed because of the lightness, precision and can be easily molded and constructed as facade/ Second, orange brick which is most common material used in Jakarta, The third one is the ceramic brick 50 mm x 150 mm x 10 mm which is used for covering the stair wall as insulation and interior surface. An additional bedroom, bathroom and a stair way to the attic on the 1st floor is linked by a corridor leading to an open space beside the void leading to the stairwell and stair case through compact space. Istakagrha showed an example of small house in Jakarta with small plot of land with sustainable design approach and keeping privacy from out side to inside through simple form which is stacking brick.

The Guild is in Kompas Newspaper. The writer Fransisca Romana Ninik wrote title Labirin yang Menenangkan.

RAW’s work, Akanaka is published in Archdaily

“I want a residence where is comfortable, natural, and energy efficient,” said Mr. Yuwono to Realrich Sjarief when he stated the brief of Akanaka. Akanaka is located on 800 sqm lands, consists 19 serviced bedrooms, in 2 levels building with an open-air corridor. It is in Kemang, South Jakarta, a precinct where is well known as the art district.

From the facade, Akanaka’s 4.5 meters cantilevered canopy blocks the east-west sun while giving a tropical device for heavy rainfall. The orangish terracotta facade module 300 mm x 300 mm made by craftsmen at Pamulang gives a private, solid void, an expression which is functional and beauty. The balustrade is made from steel painted with brownish colour with gaps to allow cross air ventilation coming inside the building. The floor is concrete, one at the outdoor is grass block and the one inside the building is 1200 mm x 1200 mm cast concrete with glass grout.

The linear and communal courtyards are introduced at the centre of the building as a communal space, sculpture garden providing air stacking effect, and natural sunlight coming to the communal space. The size of the rooms varies from 16 sqm, 24 sqm, to 35 sqm which each of the room provide cross air circulations, functional interior design, and dual aspect window providing sunlight to the room.

Inside the building, there is much feeling of wood and concrete. The teak wood was engineered by cut into 3mm thin slices, glued on top of plywood to increase lightness, cost, and availability of teakwood. The engineered teak wood panel in module 200 x 1200 mm is hung by stainless steel pin, this construction technique allows the system to be prefabricated, dismantled, maintained whenever it is necessary. Akanaka is one of the examples of how the passive design executed in simple method opening side for air and sunlight to the building.

An award-winning design team from Jakarta, Indonesia has breathed new life into the boxy home design. The Realrich Architecture Workshop (RAW architecture) team led by Realrich Sjarief created an airy upscale home in Indonesia called Rumah Kotak Kayu or Wooden Box House. The three-level home features immaculate wooden floors, sprawling windows, and multiple terrace gardens. The result is a unique residence that allows its owners to enjoy life inside, outside, and sometimes both at the same time.

The Jakarta-based architecture firm created the home for a client in Puri Indah, an upscale residential area of West Jakarta. Completed earlier this year, the Wooden Box House sprawls across 5,300 square feet of living space. It includes a spacious owner’s suite, multiple guest rooms, as well as a housekeeper’s suite. Nearly every interior space (except for the bathrooms) is connected to the outdoors, either directly via a private balcony or terrace with a lush green garden, or visually through floor-to-ceiling windows. The unique multi-level building shape means the terraced gardens add to the view from inside the home.

The architects called for five different types of locally-sourced wood to be used throughout the home’s design, both inside and out. The facade and interior ceiling are composed of dried pine wood planks of various dimensions, chosen for its durability and coloration. Iron wood reclaimed from a phinisi boat adorns the home’s floors, along with the slightly less expensive bengkirai wood, which also makes up the outdoor decking. The Wooden Box Home also features elegant teakwood in the main area bedroom, library, and foyer area. Merbau wood comprises the home’s single front door. It is the most readily available material in Jakarta, making it a sustainable option that is particularly suited to the environment because of its tolerance on expansion.

Situated in the increasingly crowded gated community at West Jakarta, Indonesia, the 110 sqm design architecture office “RAW architecture” occupies a 150 sqm in 375 sqm plot of land and built at the periphery and inside main house’s garage. Reflected by its name, RAW architecture office, the finishes is bare and using natural material. Size-wise it is extremely efficient, and relatively small, but its dotted exposed plywood facade combined with exposed concrete, black painted wall gives it a distinctive look yet privacy from outside the gated neighbourhood.

The office is divided by 2 main structure located at the garden and the garage of the existing house. The first structure is meeting space which made by plywood structure located at outdoor The office has one meeting room dedicated for OMAH library, which is made by plywood which housed all of the architecture books, OMAH is community based library and sometimes is used for hosting architecture talks and discussion. OMAH is made by plywood forming an arch as its geometry, This 2.4 m x 8.0 m wide span arch pavillion is made entirely from prefabricated plywood. The office was built by local craftsmen. The design was prefabricated in the workshop by creating 120 (200 mm x 400 mm x 600 mm ) boxes, and 120 leaning 3 equal trapezoid boxes for arch modulethe detail is exercised on spot by the plywood by bolt ,ring, and hand in time of 1.5 week construction.

The fabricated system is designed to be built within 2 weeks accommodating efficiency, affordability, movability as temporary structure without using many people and can be built by hand with minimum tools. You can see omah’s program in here http://www.omahlibrary.com

the second structure is working space located at the garage of the main existing house. The office space is designed based on efficiency to create intimate feeling for designers working on intense architecture projects. The working space has no receiving area, no permanent wall. A simple foyer and a big openingwith generous footwear storage- guests are to take off and store theirs there before entering-precede the lounging area. After the entrance, the separation between technical and designer also takes some importance its final layout is the result of few adjustments based on the designer and technical’s domestic habits. The only enclosed space in the first story is administration room study, which doubles as a office storage. The second story mezanine area is more private spaces to store vast material library, and some drinks for chill out time.

RAW has been arranging summer architecture fellowship program which invites 50 people per year in South East Asia to be trainee, learning skill of programming, designing space, and more is to understand the local craftsmanship available developed in the office. http://raw.co.id/summerarchitectureworkshop/
The office shows example of small home office in Jakarta tries to explore design in its space situated in very limited space in Jakarta.

RAW is like a roseto that believe on the workshop between the craftsmen and designer for having the best solution in the design, I want to create roseto that is intimate, fun and breaking the boundary to create innovation as much as we can.”

Pencapaian seseorang tidak hanya terlihat dari seberapa banyak ia menghasilkan karya, namun juga kontribusinya untuk disiplin ilmu yang dianutnya. Lebih jauh lagi, adalah kewajiban untuk menurunkan ilmunya kepada generasi baru yang akan melanjutkan perkembangan dan menyempurnakan pengetahuan yang telah ada.
Hal inilah yang mendefinisikan seorang Realrich Sjarief: seorang arsitek kenamaan yang menjadi salah satu generasi terdepan di kalangan arsitek dan desainer tanah air. Kesibukan profesinya tidak membuatnya lupa untuk meluangkan waktu demi membagi ilmu dan pengalamannya untuk mencetak bibit-bibit arsitek unggul di masa depan.
Jalan Realrich untuk menjadi seorang dimulai sejak lulus dari Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB) pada tahun 2005, ia berpraktek di beberapa biro ternama baik di dalam maupun luar negeri, antara lain Urbane Indonesia di Bandung, DP Architects di Singapore, dan Foster and Partners di London, biro yang dimiliki Lord Norman Foster, arsitek peraih Pritzker Prize sebagai penghargaan bergengsi di arsitektur.
Masa – masa belajar di ITB berperan besar dalam membentuk karakter Realrich, di mana pengalaman kuliah bersama dosen – dosen terbaik, pengalaman organisasi bersama IMA Gunadharma, dan pengalaman bersosialisasi dengan berbagai budaya yang ada di kampus membawa pola pikir dan sikap untuk selalu belajar di manapun ia berada.
Di London, ia dan timnya sempat berkolaborasi dengan Muir Livingstone, Iwona Schwedo Wilmot, dan John Blythe, associcate, partner, dan senior partner di Foster and Partners untuk mendesain beberapa bangunan seperti Masdar City dan Al-Reems Island Apartment di Abu Dhabi serta YTL headquarter di Kuala Lumpur. Realrich juga menjadi anggota afiliasi dari Royal Institute of British Architect (RIBA).
Setelah mengenyam berbagai pengalaman, ia lalu memutuskan untuk meneruskan gelar master di urban desain and development di University of New South Wales (UNSW) Australia dengan studi master of urban design di bawah bimbingan Jon Lang dan James Weirick. Di sini ia berhasil lulus secara memuaskan, dan sekembalinya ke Jakarta, Realrich memberanikan diri mendirikan biro desainnya sendiri… (Lihat selengkapnya di Majalah Home Diary #012/2015)

Omah Library, one of RAW’s design was published in konteks.org for its spirit , please check the article here “Sekitar tiga tahun lalu saya berkunjung ke garasi sebuah rumah bernomor 1 di jalan Pulau Ayer II, Puri Indah, Jakarta Barat. Kurang lebih 20 orang meramaikan garasi tersebut dan kami menghabiskan lebih dari dua jam menonton dan berdiskusi tentang film “How Much Your Building Weigh Mr. Foster?”. Di tempat yang sama berkali-kali setelahnya diadakan pula acara arsitektural yang menyenangkan nan edukatif lainnya….”

RAW supports OMAH Library. OMAH Architecture Library was established by Realrich Sjarief, sponsored by RAW Architecture at the end of 2014 to accomodate young people for accessible knowledge about architecture in Indonesia. We are working on part time basis to support the architecture community which is why the library is only open during saturday and sunday. Louis Kahn once shared about his wisdom, quotations from Kahn, one of which reads: “Schools began with a man under a tree who did not know he was a teacher, sharing his realization with a few others who did not know they were students.” It’s the beginning to from a society of education, an institution of man. It is simply like what we have been doing, we start with small things, one thing at a time. We do hope the positive mindset might improve architecture as a profession or as good culture basis in greater scale. At the end, while we do not know what will happen at the end our journey, let’s deepen our understanding about architecture and its beauty, the spirit which envelope our life, like it or not, it shapes our culture.

Eco Resort Arum Dalu designed by RAW  is launched

We are currently researching Landscape Urbanism Paradigm for Urban Design Development in Made in Jakarta.

W H Y L A N D S C A P E U R B A N I S M ?

Current urban developments in Indonesian cities construct its field with prioritizing the arrangement of grey infrastructures, such as road, building blocks and utility network; rather than the incorporation of open space and existing natural ecosystem. Eventually, cities become too dense and unhealthy for its inhabitants. The generic approach tend to create acontextual and unsustainable developments, where city lacks livable and enjoyable public spaces; as well as flooding, pollution, traffic jam becoming the cities’ major problems.

This come from inability of the present paradigm to balance the development of grey and green infrastructures. We need to seriously start to rethink the importance of infrastructural landscapes, instead only grey as the new possible framework for city-making. In order to achieve a sustainable future for Jakarta.

Realrich is interviewed in Archinesia Vol.5 – Good Design in Architecture Now. Please check the note from Archinesia :

One of the most important (and now quite dominant) processes in architecture is design process, and the goal of architecture design is to attain good design.

Good design has a double meaning, aesthetic and ethic. In architecture the two should be united as a single goal that a design process should strive for. Moreover, an architectural product does not only affect its client and architect. On a broader level, architectural products also affect their surrounding environments. In a larger scale, they may even have an effect on the economy and the social and political condition.

The question is: how does an architectural design attain the label ‘good design’? We tried to find the answer through a round table discussion by inviting the two groups of architecture professionals in Indonesia: practitioners and academics. What are their thoughts on this matter? You can peruse them in the Main Coverage of Archinesia Bookgazine Volume 5. The main coverage is a transcription of the presentation of each speakers of the round table discussion, with no intervention whatsoever from our writers, which tends to steer the readers’ opinions. Why did we choose to run the transcription as is? Through this direct transcription we invite our readers to be present in the midst of the conversation circle. But what about the arguments and the formed opinions? We let them open for our readers to process, analyze, and summarize. Because we know there are no such things as standard parameters for good design. Whether or not good design is achieved by an architectural product, it is highly dependent to the condition and context of where we are.

Good designs can aslo be enjoyed through architectural works. This time we have several architects whose works are exhibited for the first time in the pages of ARCHINESIA Bookgazine, even though they are quite famous in ASEAN’s architectural scene. They are Duangrit Bunnag from Bangkok and Singapore based DP Architects and ONG&ONG. We are also delighted to show the works of young architects who are always emerging in ASEAN area, such as Revano Satria (Semarang, Indonesia), Archimetric (Surabaya, Indonesia), and Studiodasar (Jakarta, Indonesia). Are their works entitled to be called good design? We’ll let you, readers, to be the judge. At the very least, these select works are an effort to bring good design to architecture today.

Imelda Akmal

RAW supports Konteks.org which is one publication unit of University of Pelita Harapan [UPH] lead by David Hutama.

catatan tentang konteks.org

ada suatu hari, kami mendiskusikan kemungkinan membuat publikasi arsitektur yang, selain bisa berguna dan tidak mengulang apa yang memang sudah ada, cocok juga dengan minat kami. Beberapa ide seru bermunculan: sketsa, dialog, cerita, proses, dan berbagai hal yang justru diam-diam bersembunyi di balik kehadiran suatu karya. Rupanya, ketertarikan kami pada arsitektur justru terletak bukan pada karya tok, melainkan pada interaksi karya tersebut dengan segala hal yang melingkunginya.

Melalui inisiasi dan dukungan dari Universitas Pelita Harapan, maka inilahKonteks, publikasi online seputar arsitektur yang tidak ingin berputar-putar membahas karya arsitektur saja. Harafiahnya, “konteks” berarti keadaan yang melingkungi suatu keberadaan. Kata ini mengingatkan kami juga akan peribahasa lawas “di mana bumi dipijak, di situ langit dijunjung”. Dengan semangat yang sama, Konteks bermaksud merenangi dan menyelami samudra pembahasan arsitektur, dari karya, tokoh, sampai wacana, sambil tetap meletakkan apa yang dibahas pada tempatnya.

Sketsa, Tampak, Perspektif dan Kolase menjadi judul rubrik untuk menggambarkan apa yang kami lihat dan bagaimana cara kami melihatnya.Sketsa—sebagai alegori dari catatan ringkas, ringan, personal dan mungkin saja tidak tuntas—menampilkan kilasan arsitektural yang kaya jejak. Tampak—sebagai alegori dari apa yang terlihat dari satu sisi—menampilkan ulasan karya atau acara. Perspektif—sebagai alegori atas apa yang terlihat dari sudut pandang tertentu—menampilkan berbagai ulasan mendalam yang sarat pendapat. Kolase—sebagai alegori dari perpaduan potongan-potongan gambar yang semula tak berhubungan—menampilkan bahasan lintas disiplin demi menemukan pemahaman segar.

The countries in this region seem to have been overlooked, whereas they have distinctive characteristics resulting from their similarities, which, among others, are similarity in historical background as some of the countries were colonized by the same colonizers (Portuguese, British, Dutch, and Japanese); identical climate condition as the countries lie near the equator; and closeness in ethnicity, ways of life, culture, and even foods. All these influence the region’s architectural development.

Then, two coincidences happened: first, we were preparing ARCHINESIA Volume 4 on the theme of “Cross-Border”, and, second, Association Southeast Asian Nation (ASEAN) apparently has prepared the ASEAN Mutual Recognition Arrangement on Architectural Services which will take effect next two years. Therefore, in this edition we discuss the theme of “Cross-Border” with a particular context of Southeast Asia. We interviewed some sources to collect the agreement-related information that Southeast Asian architects must know about.

Moreover, this edition also covered a special report on the World Architecture Festival 2013 (WAF 2013), which took place recently in Singapore from 2 to 4 October. This year’s festival was more vibrant from that of last year, especially with the presence of architects’ latest creations, which include the winner or Building of the Year category from New Zealand.

As you would expect the ARCHINESIA Volume 4 also presents architecture creations from ASEAN architects, news, agenda, and many more reports that will broaden horizons of readers and architecture enthusiasts in Southeast Asia.

Mengenai Ruang – Memasyarakatkan Arsitektur

Ruang membentuk individu, individu membentuk masyarakat, dan masyarakat membentuk ruang. Seolah siklus, yang tak berujung dan tak bermula; seperti kisah telur dan ayam. Ruang dibentuk oleh individu-individu kemudian merupa individu-individu lain. Kita, manusia, dicipta oleh ruang, dan kita, manusia, mencipta ruang. Arsitektur bermula dari sebuah ruang.

Ruang adalah saya, kamu dan dia. Kita membentuk ruang, ruang berusaha menawarkan cara pandang kepada masyarakat yang nantinya akan kembali akan merupa diri kita sendiri. Ruang adalah kita. Ruang adalah keterkaitan, jaringan dan semangat kita – yang hidup dan dihidupkan oleh kontribusi kita. Ruang menawarkan kacamata dalam melihat arsitektur dan berusaha memasyarakatkannya.

Description
Based at Jakarta, Indonesia… We try to bring newest information and trends in architecture, interior design and life style on each of our edition every month. And since January 2012, we come to you with a new concept “DISCOVER LOCAL AND GLOBAL LIVING TREND”

Lobang Kayu is in Archinesia 3rd Edition : Does Architecture shape the city or vise versa ?

Does Architecture Shape the City or Vice Versa ?

When we first set foot on a city, the first objects we are aware of are the buildings standing on it, because architecture is a visual object that most strongly shape the face of any city. Then, inevitably, the question arises in our minds: “Does architecture shape the city, or vice versa?” We asked the question to several urban experts and they all said that a city is not only shaped by its architecture, but also by its government policies, politics, economy, capital, people, transportation, and even by events held inside it. Although—undoubtedly—architecture is often used and exploited in pursuit of the ambition to create a memorable city, so much so that many cities in the world race to invite world renowned architects—or star architects, if you will—to design a number of awe inspiring urban objects or architecture. And oftentimes these constructions are nothing more than display ‘objects’, or will someday become one.

In this volume, ARCHINESIA Bookgazine observes and discusses cities in their relation to architecture. Jakarta is recently criticized by its own governor as a city bereft of identity with ‘faceless’ and generic buildings standing on it, making it identical with thousands of other cities in the world. But is identity truly the most important thing to develop in a city that is often considered grievously ill by its own citizens? We invited seven experts to give an answer about the architecture of Jakarta. Post-war Cambodia is also interesting to peruse. This Southeast Asia country is currently rebuilding its cities in the aftermath of a long fought war. On the other hand, London is changing the face of its eastern parts after the Olympic Games. Melaka, a city recognized as a world heritage city, is struggling to conserve its old architecture. Singapore, on the other hand, invited world renowned architect to design and construct a new iconic building on the Marina Bay Sands area in an attempt to fulfill the ambition to be among the top cities in the world. Almere, a small town in the Netherlands built several eye-catching buildings to grab the attention of not only the world, but also its own citizens.

The minuscule observations of the abovementioned cities are of course insufficient to answer all our questions about cities and architecture. But they will at least try to give you an idea of how the relation between a city and its architecture can affect each other, how architecture may fill a void, or even have its functions questioned and contested, since, in essence, architecture is meant to improve the quality of the people that conducted their activities inside it.

Realrich Sjarief is in 50 Indonesian architects + Emergings book by Imelda Akmal Architecture Writer. Here is the description by Jakarta Post : Over the past decade, Indonesian architects have redefined and rediscovered Indonesian architecture. By consistently building and experimenting, they have created a new face for contemporary Indonesian architecture.

Their efforts have paid off. Now the world has begun to recognize the remarkable work of Indonesian architects, many of whom have won several contests.

Indonesians have also begun to acknowledge architecture by adoring tall buildings and skyscrapers that flourissh in cities across the country that have been designed by local architects.

No doubt Indonesian architects have shaped this country and its society. Through the distinctive character of Indonesian architecture that they have brought to the surface, they have changed the perspective about Indonesian architecture and changed society to be the part of architecture as well.

But who would care to write about the people who were in charge of constructing dreams in the concrete jungle? It could only be Imelda Akmal.

Local architects should give a toast to Imelda for publishing another architecture book, 50 Indonesian Architects + Emergings. Once again, she has proven her passion for architecture by publishing books. Earlier, she published Indonesian Architecture Now and Indonesian Architecture Now 2.

Imelda is one of a few architects who enjoy careers as architectural writers. With her team members at the Imelda Akmal Architectural Writers Studio (Studio IAAW), she has published over 70 architectural works, though she said that there were numerous Indonesian architects who had a tremendous amount of work experience who should write about architecture.

“It doesn’t mean that they can’t write. They just haven’t wanted to, though I think they are competent to write architectural reviews or probably architectural critiques. That’s why I always encourage my colleagues to start writing. I hope this book also can be a trigger,” Imelda said at the book’s launch at The Dharmawangsa, South Jakarta.

Her new book is comprised of 50 short profiles of well-known Indonesian architectural firms and 13 new architectural firms (the “emergings”), who are considered influential on Indonesian architecture these days.

Imelda and her team separated the groups based on their years of experience. The Indonesian Architects group was dominated by architectural firms that were formed at least five years ago, while the Emergings category has profiles of new firms established less than five years ago.

Those 13 young names on the Emergings list include 12akitek, Aboday, Avianti Armand, Boy Bhirawa, DX6, HMP Architects, Labo, Made Dharmendra, Parametr architecture, Realrich sjarief, SUB Studio, Suwardana Winata, and Zenin Adrian, while the 50 Architects category included big names such as Andra Matin, Baskoro Tedjo, Grahacipta Hadiprana, PTI Architects, Sardjono Sani, Urbane and Yori Antar.
