Week03 - Analysis of Proposed Program

The Week03 task for students is about analyzing the hospitality program to be placed in Kemang area. The students need to take account the following questions:

• what are the potencies of kemang area has?
• what kind of program that appropriate to be developed in kemang relative to the contex?
• which spot -specifically- of kemang that appropriate for the proposed program and what reasons that make so? (comparing to the other available spot/spaces

Further, the students will have to choose 5 keywords that can represent or describe the potencies of kemang related to the program they propose. Those keywords will be applied into individual experimental-model called Design Vehicle (DV). The individual DV is expected to be a generator of idea for design exploration in all stages of the designing process.

Week01 - Appreciating Context

What is meant by context? Context is the character and setting of the area within which a projected scheme will sit. It is its natural as well as human history;the forms of the settlements,buildings and spaces;its ecology and archaeology;its location,and the routes that pass through it.Context also includes people,the individuals living in or near an area and how communities are organised so that citizens become real participants in the projected development. A thorough appreciation of the overall site context is the starting point for designing a distinct place. (Urban Design Compendium. English Partnerships and The Housing Corporation)

The Week01 and week02 tasks for the students are to establish their basic knowledge and understanding about Kemang area as a context for the project01. The students will make an observation about kemang context through mapping and diagramming to illustrate the following aspects:

Role and relationships of Kemang area to its strategic context

• Position in Jakarta region

output of the task: 2d mapping, 2d diagramming, analogue 3d modeling of kemang area
