7 log17//AW01 euphoria theme; Inhabit Remote Ground | hiker shelter _Oregon, United States academic work; 2nd year project 2017 supervisor; Jacky Theodore 01
8 As one of the first project, the design mainly focus on using narrative as a tool to create a storyline in the design. By doing that, designers have learnt to anticipate a lot of factors and situations that might happen in certain scenarios. Euphoria is a conceptual design for a hikers shelter which is located in Oregon, United States. The waterfall works as a remote oasis behind the thickness of the forest. The design and the waterfall cooperate together as an oasis that function as a shelter and campsite/checkpoint for the hikers. ARCHITECTURE IS STORYTELLING EUPHORIA - REMOTE OASIS “ euphoria - a feeling or state of intense excitement and happiness, as... hikers walk through the mountain trails and invited by the sound of... the waterfall seems like calling the people to go there... and behind the depth of the forest, there’s a contrast of the water, leaving the monotone forest behind. “
9 The main theme of the project itself is to design an architecture suited to inhabit remote ground. The main aim is within the wilderness, the design is able to provide a space which is safe, sustainable for the nature and the users itself. This specific waterfall was chosen as the site as it is able to provide certain qualification for the theme. The waterfall is a 37 metres multi-step waterfall which surrounded by douglas fir trees, and columnar basalt. The impressive thought is in the presence of the waterfall, nothing seems matter anymore and leaving all the monotone forest behind. The scale of the whole thing is able to mesmerized everyone who is drawn to it. As a result of the circumstances of the site, such as the difficulty of the contour, extreme conditions and how little actually the space is, using pre-fabrication concrete and steel are set to be the main material as they are able to provide with lighter frame and disguise themselves within the columnar basalt. This way the waterfall and the design have to work together as a whole to be a checkpoint or campsite in the mountain trail for the hikers to rest and enjoy the nature. Architecture Within Nature
10 As the waterfall is the main element of the whole concept, the design tries to disguise the architecture as much as possible to the surrounding cliffs, in order to resolve the concern which is trying not to take the essence of the waterall. To create a basalt-like features, the design is adapting a modular form and The moment each module join in with each other, the form itself indirectly creating certain texture which turns out similar to the columnar basalt stone which is located in the surroundings area. Therefore the design set to use parallelogram shape to creates a basalt-like features. This way all the opening of the rooms are facing towards the waterfall clearly and the modules are all opposing the cliff. The modular forms are set to depict an image of “pack of tents”. The modules are 2x3 metres cubicle that are able to contain 3-4 people per unit. Therefore, the whole design consist of 15 sleeping cubicles that are able to accomodate for at least 60 people inside. By utilizing the limited space of the area, the architectural design is able to accomodate people and grow through the uniqueness of the contour of the cliffs. Disguised Form
11 The rows of modules are stacked setback to the 1/3 of the origin point which will be used as the interactive space between users inside the shelter and by leaning the architecture towards the cliff, it will lessen the obstruction of the view of the waterfall. The setback which following the contour of the cliff is intended to creates an interactive space for the hikers, which is also able to strengthen the interrelationship between the hikers. By creating this multi-level shelter, it is capable to accomodate a lot of people and as well as accomplishing the purpose of hiking to create a harmony relationship with nature and the surrounding human as well. To keep it traditional, all the programs within the building are set to be the most minimum and only concern to the most neccesary function. It only consists of sleeping space, social space and public space which is used as public bathroom. In this sense, it does not eliminate the whole hiking experience within the journey but also including the architecture inside it. In fact, this design is able to become a platform for the hiking community and creating their own community center inside it. Interactive Space maquettes
12 “an open architecture which opens to all surroundings, and bring closer to the nature”
13 “other than shelter as a place to rest... it is also a meditation space to closen the relationship with mind and nature, accompanied with the soothing sound of waterfall..” - “all modules are orientated to center of the waterfall to create an image of an arrow aiming to the center of the site, therefore all rooms may able to get the same quality of the view of waterfall and have it just for themselves in their cubicle.”

15 log18//AW03 CLANDESTINE theme; Sports Institution | basketball academy _Tangerang, Indonesia academic work; 3rd year 2018 supervisor; Dani Hermawan 02
16 site plan
17 This project is a sport institution themed project which serves as basketball academy in Daan Mogot, Tangerang. Basketball is chosen as the course of the academy because the lack of proper basketball facility around the town and most appropriate regarding the size of the site. Due to the site is being located in front of Cisadane river, the design emphasizes on creating a waterfront friendly design to harmonize with the nature. The concept itself is trying to lessen the distruption and obstacle to the nature or river as much as possible. As basketball halls tend to be big and massive in form and size, so in order to avoid that, the design is purposely made to be half buried to maintain the massiveness of the building and the level between waterfront and the architecture. Having limited space into account, the form itself revolves on the elevation of the building. Resulting, the design based on human circulation which is deeply differentiate between private and public area since the building itself also works as a public sports arena. Therefore, the form of terraced rice field-shaped design is created which also focuses on increasing greenery. Burying Architecture
18 orientating around two basketball courts which serves as private and public courts. burying the full basketball court to lessen the massive form and creating service area for public and private on ground floor. placing the half basketball court on the second floor which become the center of the academy. creating setback terraces to accomodate greenery and maintaining the elevation of the building.
19 The first floor is mainly focused on the services area either for public audience and students from academy. Public audience itself is only able to access through the front part which are only terraced gallery, restaurant and full basketball court for matches. This floor works as transitional zone between full and half court which makes the whole circulation for the students moving around between those two courts. The second floor works as a transitional public space and where the office, clasrooms and half basketball court takes place. The transitional space is a mediator between public and private area where it is accessible both by public audience and students. This space is orientated towards the waterfront that serves as gallery, lounge and terrace. The third floor is the only private floors that is detached from public. This floor is an open plan focused on gym space which exposed from the half basketball court. Cascade Flow flow of circulation block plan

21 log19//AW04 morphed theme; Transit-Oriented Development | mixed-use apartment _Jakarta, Indonesia academic work; 3rd year 2019 supervisor; Ayu Larasati 03
22 This project is a mixed-use project which focus on implementing Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) in Blok M, Jakarta. Since a new Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) developed in 2019, Jakarta has been focusing on addressing people to use mass public transportations to develop into a TOD city. Blok M has always been known as Little Tokyo in Jakarta because of their high number of Japanese expatriates who works, lives and even own businesses there. Despite the fact that Blok M is called as “Little Tokyo” Blok M shows too less of Tokyo to be called as “Little Tokyo”. The concept in designing this project itself is based on cultural Japanese image and identity as a part of urban fabric. In order to do that, this project aims to introduce Japanese culture by using Shotengai as its study cases. Due to the similar conditions and requirements, Shotengai will work as a good example in implementing a transit-oriented development and also introducing the Japanese culture itself. Even though culturally there are also variety of differences between them, this project can be one of methods to adapt the society into a TOD city. “Little Tokyo” 1 2 3 4 1 3 4 2 Mall Sports Arena Govt Facility MRT Stations Commercial & Residential Area
23 As it is mentioned before, the image itself comes from the concept of Shotengai 商店街, a traditional Japanese-style commercial arcade which depict how Japanese lives and commute in their transit-oriented development city. Beyond their role as commercial district, the area serves as vital social spaces for Japanese neighborhoods. Shotengai becomes part of cultural function between society. It is not only just a common commercial district but the deep-rooted connection to their localities tie the relationship between local comunity. It is able to show the cultural sustainabilty, community’s culture and elderly’s role in helping communities to sustain themselves. Certainly the design itself could not adopt the concept exactly as the way it is, but by taking similar type kind of form of typology, it is able to recreate adapted image of Tokyo or Japan at the least. The final design emphasize on creating variety islands of stand-alone buildings which provides variance of programming and public functions in a semi-outdoor spaces. These coordinated islands are producing alluring alleyways which work as human circulation. Japanese-Style Commercial Arcade Shotengai 商店街 Commercial and public area are placed on the lower floor of the buildings. There are few access which connect all the circulations. This design works as a bridge or transitional area between commercial and residential district which leading to the MRT stations, bus stop and other mass public transportations. Apartment Complex All of the residential area are placed on the upper floor which has different elevation on every buildings. All of the apartment complex are connected on third floor which providing apublic facilities
24 The design is formed and adapted from diagonal grids that directs people to the MRT station. These grids are 4x4 metres squares which serves as a standards bounding space for a room and space in general. By subdiving plot area, the form is split into different variety of islands which have different programs and at certain levels, this projections of form is morphed into one entity to integrate activities and functions. The design maintain its scale and elevation, to keep it intimate and closed. Morphed 2 1 4 3 7-13 6 5 MRT Station Mall Commercial & Residential Area Sports Arena site plan
25 14 sets of irregular bedroom plans create variety types of room typologies which make up the whole units as one form. Although the organic forms create some inconsistency through the plan, every single plans have been adjusted to 4x4 grids which demonstrate the sufficency of the rooms.

27 City Inside a City Shotengai itself supposed to feel organic rather than planned because it consisted of different programs and functions by different variety of owners. Therefore, the organic and fluid forms of the design comes from the progressively changing programs and other elements in time. Organic form does not neccessarily unproductive as long as it is fulfilling the standard requirements. In fact through the form, the design is giving great potential and endless possibilities through transformation into the space. To comply with the needs and wants, rather than creating a “big form” like typical topology of a mall, the design itself is big as a “group form “which consist interactive flexible units. From those group form makes the users feel like they are standing in a city not in a building because these group of buildings are parts of the urban fabric which depict Tokyo city inside Jakarta city.

29 04 log20//AW10 green link theme; Architecture & Memory | urban green space & cultural center _Jakarta, Indonesia academic work; research-based design [THESIS] 2020 supervisor; Denis Indramawan The increasing of urbanization and globalization at high rates in large cities tend to result in a creation of slums. This issues eventually leads to violations and misuse of city spaces. Riverbank environments tend to become one of the most affected locations due to urbanization which eventually damages the quality of urban rivers. Compression in the city environment eventually takes up urban green space and results in the loss of direct access for people to come and interact with the urban rivers because of the slums. This is one of the factors which results in the loss of urban rivers’ values and starts to be forgotten in several places. The lack of awareness and place attachment towards the urban rivers became one of the important issues that have been going on nowadays. Urban rivers are only considered a water disposal and causing the riverbank environment to suffer. Besides their functional element, urban rivers need to be seen in different perspective. It is important to realize their potential to be useful and beneficial public space for the community and environment. In the attempt of solving these issues, this research study uses urban waterfront theory that aims to improve waterfront qualities that initially had good conditions but experienced a decline in quality due to human behaviour. Accompanied with place attachment theory that has major role in developing awareness and attachment to riverbank environment and picking up forgotten values that already existed beforehand. In order for this research study to have successful outcome, it must be based on activities, spaces and facilities in the riverbank environment that are actively encouraging an attachment and engagement between the community and the rivers. The result of this research study is a basic tool and design guide for designing a riverbank environment that is able to increase place attachment towards urban rivers and their surroundings while improving their qualities. This can be achieved by connecting place attachment predictors that are applicable on dimensions of urban waterfront theory to create parameters for design strategy. The predictors will work to measure the attachment of the community to the place and improve the qualities of urban waterfront space accordingly based on its result. The final product is in form of application of the design parameters to the riverbank environments of Chinatown, Glodok. Expectantly, this research study is also able to be used not only in this specific site, but also in any other place with similar context. keywords : riverbank environment, waterfront, urban rivers, place attachment “The Role of Place Attachment in Designing Rivebank Environment in Glodok”
30 Restoration of Urban Rivers Jakarta government has made efforts into restoring urban rivers by doing normalization and naturalisation of river space. However, in most cases, this is limited as a disaster prevention project as they put sheet pile on the riverbank to prevent floods. It is important to prevent for future disaster that might happen, but a restoration needs to actively integrate rivers with its community to put awareness of rivers’ values. Since the floods itself frequently occurred because of littering on the rivers. As this pollution goes on and no improvement in the rivers, the awareness of people to stop littering on the river will stay constant. There is a need to change and improve current methods so it may able to come with more suitable solution. Therefore, this research study aims to research on creating a design method that is capable of increasing people’s awareness towards urban rivers values. With the increase in their attachment towards rivers, it will raise their awareness to stop littering in the place that they are attached to. The research is not limited to the waterfront area only, but also the relation with their surrounding environment. background issues
31 before after Glodok is known as Chinatown in Jakarta, it is one of important places in Jakarta which has very strong historical Chinese background and cultural values that can be seen from daily activities of its community. It is area that is well known and used by the majority of Chinese community for their dwellings, religious activities and business trades. Additionaly, other than the local communities, one of the factors that keeps this place alive are its visitors from the temples, businesses and even tourists. The most important and truly visible characteristics of Chinatown in this area are the temples, there are several temples that have existed for few hundred years and act as community centers, as well as being symbols of preservation of Chinese culture in Jakarta. Although this area is culturally strong, architecturally it does not strongly define this place as Chinatown because architectural features that remained and able to define the word “Chinatown” are mostly just the temples. Furthermore, with Jakarta being the center of major metropolitan area in Indonesia, this area is still considered as underdeveloped. Chinatown’s Waterfront
32 The design starts to regenerate the area as a whole to be able to create harmony relation with each other. Therefore, the design process is divided into 3 intervention zones, starting from the waterfront, urban, and architecture. The design starts by relocating the slums into “Rusun” translated as a flat in english provided by government to people who is being relocated from slums. By removing the slums, the existing plot of land is used as urban green architecture site as the absence of urban green space in the radius of 400 metres. Additionaly, as it is mentioned before by removing the slums, it creates a whole new access and integrated circulation that able to connect all the community in the center of the neighborhood. Rebuilding the Slum main activities slums’ restoration connecting circulation intervention zones zoning 1 2 1 2 3 3
33 The final outcome in the urban zone is re-adjustment to the zoning plan with focus on natural environment and sustainability, along with creating a seamless and integrated pedestrian life in the neighborhood and waterfront. A lot of cultural and commercial zone which attract visitors are very valuable factors for the well-being of the community, but poor zoning also creates a disturbance for the residence. Since this neigborhood is a cultural environment which is surrounded by historical sites, the design starts from distinguishing the private housing zone with the public zone, in order for residence can have proper safety and privacy. The enclosed area is used for private housing zone, as for the outer area that connects to the main street is mostly dominated on using “ruko” [mixed-use] topography. This is largely concentrated on adapting to the historical religious zone for the community and visitors. However, the design is still preserving all the values of this neighborhood to maintain their strong historical identity and image. All of these elements have enormous role in affecting the form and concept of architecture design. Integrated Neighborhood program concept site location existing green space
34 private access [existing] private access [existing] public access [new] public access [new] public access [blocked by slum] drop off [gateway] amphitheatre public gathering space housing [private zone] housing [private zone] housing [private zone] temple urban green space “ruko” [mixed-use zone ] The non-existent of clear distinction of road and riverbank is making the visibility of urban rivers became one of the main concerns. This design will focus on engaging openness of the urban rivers by replacing concrete sheet pile that is blocking visibility of the river with proper safety railing but still be able to reduce the potential of floods. Amphitheatre space adjacent with the main site is an extension from the urban green space which brings people closer to the body of water and create harmony elevation between urban rivers and the main site. It is connected directly from street food vendor space. The absence of proper stop for vehicle is pushing bajaj park their vehicle carelessly which taking pedestrian and road spaces. By creating special stop for bajaj, it can help to decrease the congestion on the inner road. Relocating the pedestrian bridge closer to the middle of the site which is reachable from both directions. “pedagang kaki lima” street food vendor bajaj stop As one of the main activity along this river is coming from the activities in the temple, a specific place as a gathering space is needed to accomodate the users in front of the temple. The lack of spaces for street food vendors are making them spread in the street without proper place. Providing specific places for these vendors are able to maintain and avoid crowdness in private area and direct it to the specific public area.
35 private access [existing] Urban river zone is still sticking to the initial plan which set by the government as disaster prevention’s purpose, the waterfront design itself focus on recovering the function of riverbank as waterfront space. There are 4 main programs in the waterfront that will provide the neccesities of local community and visitors. Starting from providing specific places for “Pedagang Kaki Lima” or street food vendor in english and Bajaj stop as traditional transportation that is very common around the area. These existing Activities that have been accustomed to by the community have destructive quality which taking pedestrian spaces and creating a huge congestion in the inner area of the site which ended up endangering pedestrian’s safety. In the attempt to provide safety and privacy for the private residential zone besides the temple, there is also public gathering space around the temple which also used as transition space before entering the residential zone. It does not mean at every pedestrian lane needs to be provided with new spaces and facilities, it will just end up making unneccessary adjustment for the community. On this account, only certain spots in the waterfront that is adjacent to center activity are provided waterfront spaces that accommodate them. All of this approach and attempt concentrate on connecting waterfront to adjacent neighborhood and the main site. Urban Waterfront public access [existing] public access [new] urban square courtyard public access [blocked by slum] drop off [gateway] housing [private zone] housing [private zone] housing [private zone] housing [private zone] temple temple school temple urban green space urban green space water features entrance [main activity] main problematic “ruko” [mixed-use zone ] “ruko” [mixed-use zone] “ruko” [ mixed-use zone ] “ruko” [mixed-use zone ] “ruko” [ mixed-use zone ] application of program concept community center “pedagang kaki lima” street food vendor “pedagang kaki lima” street food vendor Every programs in the design is based on the waterfront theory that pay attention to street quality and walkability, connectivity, accessibility, public realm, natural environment and safety of the pedestrian.
36 The design is in the form of green architecture that provides gathering and communal spaces for the whole neighborhood. In that sense, the design is able to simultaniously fix urban problems within the architecture. The consequence in creating a big urban green space is it will seem like foreign object in the community’s eyes, because they have been long accustomed to small scale spaces. The small scale typology in this area itself is the attraction of the area. Therefore, by using similar scale of typology of the surrounding building, the design is adapting to the existing building’s scale of 4x4 metres wide to make fragmented pocket spaces that are capable to fit the community and visitors. The small scale spaces creates lighting issues that prevent light to reach a lot of places. Hence by using gradual level, the massing is divided every 4 metres and rose by 40 centimetre at every platform creating amphitheatre-liked space which uses glass at every platform’s risers that enable light to reach every place inside the building. At the same time, it also harmonizes and creates seamless design from waterfront to the architecture itself. Public Space as Green Space amphitheatre drop off pedestrian bridge The urban green space itself is in a big scale but the circular grids create some kind of invisible boundary that maintain the scale the space. The design attempts to reduce congestion levels, by directing transportation to pass through the outer area along with providing transportation drop off so traffic level in the inner area will decrease. Although this area is surrounded by temples, churches, schools, residential and mixed-use buildings, the neighborhood itself does not really provide any gathering space for visitors and residence. As the community does not have any “public space” at all, most of the time they socialize in the streets and in front of their houses. This has became a crucial point to determine and design architectural programs to regenerate this neighborhood zone.
37 cultural center drop off open gallery / museum urban square urban green space public space The design attempts to reduce congestion levels, by directing transportation to pass through the outer area along with providing transportation drop off so traffic level in the inner area will decrease. Even though this place is a monumental area, on the surface, it seemingly looks like slums and does not identify to a specific place. This place needs something to introduce itself to people as identity of the place. By using color as the place identity to introduce and define the Chinese culture into the site, people recognize the impression when they see the red color at first glance. As a result, red linear mass is placed above urban green space that shows a hiearachy and image of cultural center to symbolize the place as “Chinatown”. Although this area is surrounded by temples, churches, schools, residential and mixed-use buildings, the neighborhood itself does not really provide any gathering space for visitors and residence. As the community does not have any “public space” at all, most of the time they socialize in the streets and in front of their houses. This has became a crucial point to determine and design architectural programs to regenerate this neighborhood zone.
38 courtyard community space micro library As the riverbank only has limited space, the architecture design connects waterfront space to the neighborhood, in order to create seamless design that harmonizes with the riverbank. The design works as an extension for the limited waterfront space which link community centers, cultural center, urban green space and all access in the neighborhood. This community center which is located at the center of the site works as the backyard of private housing zone and the temples. This place depicts the space as a connected backyard for the community to gather and socialize with each other. This community center accomodates micro library, office and various community’s facilities which revolves around the greenery and water features. Taking from Chinese culture and temple’s typology, the design and plan lend towards a balanced and symmetrical form which is able to offer equal qualities and harmony for everyone. The urban green space, cultural center and the community center act as one entity which is showed from continued linear form that is integrated with each other at all levels. Linked Backyard One of common issues in densed residential area in Jakarta is lack of public facilities and space intended for them. Therefore, this space works as courtyard which local community can gather and socialize accompanied with greenery and water features. The community’s space also provides indoor micro library along with restroom, office and other functional neccessary spaces for activities, events and festivals.
39 urban square 1 2 1 2 The massing is divided into 3 sections which creates 2 entrances as access to the waterfront. All access and circulation starts from small scale typology and gradually get bigger to open and welcome the view to the river and nature. The community’s space also provides indoor micro library along with restroom, office and other functional neccessary spaces for activities, events and festivals. This architectural design forms the heart of the area as urban square which is connected from all access and used as gathering space. Thereby, the design is used as a transitional space between outer area and inner area that is directing whole activities and circulations to pass through the urban square.
40 The use of arch is also one of the main strategy to create boundary which works as an entrance, as arch is commonly used around the area and Chinese culture to distinguish one area from another one. Water feature at the entrance works as a transition and sign implying that users have entered a part of river spaces. This is able to create a welcoming feeling for people to enter the space.
41 All of the elements of the design uses architectural features and language which understandable and familiar by the community and all levels of society. The design is not only about “changing” but also preserving existing elements inside the community. The whole concept itself works to support and accommodate the community to live, involve with each other and support their cultural and religious events. This architectural product is implemented accordingly to the community’s place attachment that is able to strengthen attachment of the community to this place and to the river, as well as regenerating the poor condition on the site and creates a good and sustainable environment. glodok gateway Architectural Manifestation

44 Integrating “Everyday” Space reanimate : to animate or become animated again, such as to bring [ someone or something ] back to life or to come back to life. “Everyday life is lived in the medium of cultural form.” - Peter Osborne Everyday life is a result of a habitual practices, but it opens to the unpredictability of random encounters which creates a social opportunity for human. In that sense, the spaces which supporting the “everyday” life should meet certain requirements of quality to create a pleasant and appropriate space for the people. Along the process of understanding the concept of “everyday” space and analyzing specific site for the project, it is reached to a conclusion that produced 3 objectives to approach the design in this project, especially the categorized “under-developed” spaces in the city of Karawaci. First, to restore the quality of “everyday” space which is deserted and seems out of place. Second, to discover a pocket space that could potentially be used as a public space. Lastly, to integrate the “everyday” life with the public space and creates a seamless harmony between those two. pedestrian life
45 Reanimation As “everyday” space works as a place of encounters, people does not want their everyday life to be a dead space. The terms of dead space itself does not only mean as empty space, on the contrary it can also be a space which highly occupied, yet devoid of any social interaction between people. This makes people feels reluctant to be in the place and only exists solely just to fulfill its purpose. Due to that, the design focuses on reanimating the whole site as an urban structure, as one place is depending on each other to create a whole lively neighborhood. Hence, as a result of disconnected access and circulation, the masterplan is revolved around the integration and connectivity of key locations within the targeted area continuously and uninterrupted. From the mixed-use area in the south of the site is facilitated with pedestrian bridge to cross the road and it is directly integrated to the mall and bus stop across the street. Then by providing hardscape for pedestrian path as a proper circulation to connect and direct people to the key areas within the site. It is also designed to provide direct access from the mall to the public space, therefore all of the key areas are connected into one circulation that also branched off to multiples places. reanimate : to animate or become animated again, such as to bring [ someone or something ] back to life or to come back to life. abandoned pocket space
46 Reanimating Pedestrian Life The project is located in front of grocery store and commercial area that mainly works as a bus stop. Even though the pedestrian life itself has always been very crowded and lively, the place does not have any proper infrastructure and facilities. However, because of its functional element people keeps coming in, as this place is essential for the community. Furthermore, with the site is located close to highway gate, the absence of pedestrian bridge has been very unsafe and fatal which causing a lot of jaywalkers crossing the road carelessly and end up making traffic jam and accidents. The existing bus stop is not facilitated with any facilities and pedestrian road which is causing pedestrian to walk on the car lane. With no proper positioning and platform for the users, it is generating “Terminal Bayangan”. The term of “Terminal Bayangan or Shadow Terminal in english is unofficial public transportation stop which often results in creating congestion on the street because of careless drivers. The drivers usually stop anywhere according to their will without following the regulations and paying attention to other safety. grocery store “ Te r m i n a l Bayangan” vehicle drop off access (comercial area) transjakarta platform access (bus stop) access (mall) mixed-use area transjakarta platform grocery store public transport platform stairs street food vendors stairs mixed-use area bus stop plan mixed-use area urban green space 1 2 1 2 bus stop access
47 Reanimating Public Pocket Space The pocket abandoned space is located besides a loading dock and parking lot of a grocery stores, as a result, it indirectly creates negative space that has never been used before. This specific place is set as the site, because of its high potential and close to the bus station. Therefore, this abandoned space is going to be developed and utilized as a public space and park. Urban green space is the key element to regenerate the area because the lack of facilities and public space are making the area can not function well. The first approach of the design is to put the space below the ground level to avoid air and sound pollution from road and loading dock. Making an exclusive design isolated from the busyness of the city which purpose to create its own nuance out of all the existing surroundings. That way the design creates an inviting feelings from the perspective of the ground level to enter and experience the design itself. With the variety range of user’s age, the design provides access and programs which pay close attention to safety and users friendliness. These programs have been calculated based on interviews and needs of society. grocery store mixed-use area gas station access (mall) access (residential area) access (bus stop) playground street food vendor restroom amphitheatre stage outdoor gym highway stairs ramp ramp ramp 1 2 3 4 urban green space access 1 2 3 4 integrated masterplan urban green space plan
48 The design provides integrated pedestrian bridge to cross the road in orde to decrease and lessen the traffic jam along the road and create safety for the pedestrian because it has been isolated by frontage road. before & after There are 5 main programs which are going to impact the bus stop design. These elements are pedestrian crossing, pedestrian road, street food vendor, vehicle drop off and bus stop. Creating 3 proper platforms for 4 types of transportation in the stop, to remove or reduce the “Terminal Bayangan” bus stop a full loop jogging track surrounded by greenery and undistrupted from other circulations An outdoor street food space with seatings and covered with canopy which act as one of the main center of the design. Compact Transjakarta bus platform with waiting area, queuing space and other facilities. Platform for other public transportations such as taxi, bus, “Angkot” (Angkutan Umum) and “Ojek” Improving pedestrian road with hardscape and greenery. Along with providing specific space for street food vendors in order to avoid selling in pedestrian space.
