a new eco-friendly town // KOTA BARU PARAHYANGAN // bandung, indonesia // 2010
The area is part of Kota Baru Parahyangan (KBP) town center that is easily accessed from the main road. Site town center KBP approximately 14.8 Ha, 630-647 me ers above sea level. The town cen er s location is on a valley and hid by the 44 meters hill also water spring perfectly provided.
Kota Baru Parahyangan (KBP) is an independent smart city and eco friendly. The main concept based on history, culture, and also education from itself Those three points are the criteria that would be trans ormed to all the elements of KBP.
To complete the mission to make an independent smart city that covered history, culture, education, and the nature itself instead of a massive block, the building divide by some gaps that linked all the element into one compact area. The mass itself shaped into a continuous curve that covered more view from the surrounding.

COMMERCIAL ZERO POINT

commer cial area should be cited acr oss Bank Indonesia which is poles apar with the current cir cums ance. The pr oposed designed, including relocation of this commer cial area, using Macapat (an old Javanese tr aditional song) as a concept. Macapat means 'maca papat-papat' (reading four by four). It is tr ansformed into size and also space allocation: for each set canopy consists of four booths with trees planted in ever y 11 meter
The former design of pedestrian area at the nor th side of 0 KM area merely emphasized the space only by the size without any specif ic theme. Using adial pattern, hopefully could maximize the dynamic ambience and lexibility within the 0 KM area.
THE G ATE
The initial concept of the gate is making a new one with the modern feeling without dominating the old gate and instead, strengthening the existence of old gates directing people to AlunAlun Ut ar a. Taking an old Javanese agline 'Dwi Nogo Roso Tunggal' (two dr agons with one soul), the shape of the gate is channeling the shape of the dr agons itself which is at the end of imaginar y line tr ack being together in the sign placed on the main gate of Kr aton Yogyakar a.

SEMARANG CHINATOWN (known as Pecinan Semarang) is one of historical-heritage area. Nowadays, this district star t to be forgotten by people. To make it liveable again, a small recover y through tourism is one of the options.
With PEDESTRIAN ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT, the tourism concept offered ‘an upgrade’ to the district by emphasizing the ‘WALKING EXPERIENCE’ in ever y alleys which hopefully can be one of the tourism objects that bring benefits to the people inside, both financially and social ways.
Various type of building a Vacant area that can be designed a Temple at the end of alleys - from there we can see another temple a
Chinatown area in Semarang had 4 gates back in the past. The design concept here tries to bring them back. The gates concept is not only in a statue or pillar shape but more to he meaning of gate which is an entrance and welcoming.
OBSERVATIONDECK
An already-existed intersection is designed into commercial area. Together with the stone shop and other small shop, a small café placed into this area to gather more attention to this alley
WALKING EXPERIENCE offered by this concept concluded in a design that fills the abandoned area which’s connecting two alleys in this chinatown area. This area located between Gang Gambiran and Gang Tengah. As mentioned before, in the mouth of Gang Gambiran, there was a gate to enter this area in the past. By recovering that gate, Gang Gambiran becoming one of the main paths that offered.
To attract people back to the walking trend, this OBSERVATION DECK is designed. This obser vation deck works in two way. First, because of the shape, the height, and also the materials, people expected to walk closer approaching this deck. That means, people expected to got their first waking experience. The second way by going up this obser vation deck, they can enjoy the view of the whole area, and find the traditional temples and other preser ved buildings that they haven’t seen before in the first walking experience. Therefore, af ter seeing it, they expected to star t the new steps exploring this chinatown area.
Complimenting the new sightseeing deck, another existing building tur ned into a guesthouse. With the location which more private, tourist can enjoy the ‘real’ feel of chinatown with less crowded.
A vacant space also used to connect the an alley one to another Since a chinatown has a crowd and compact ambience, the development brought to ‘higher level. A sightseeing deck designed to enjoy the whole area and create new meeting point.
This intersection connect the alley to the other street which also connected the temple as well. There for not only gate, a treatment for the pedestrian is needed for landmark developing. To complete that concept, the old residential building tur ned into a guesthouse with interior replica of old Chinese houses.
THE f iveELEMENT S
The concept of the obser vation deck itself, came from the five basic elements that Chinese believed. There are water, fire, metal, wood, and ear th.
These elements transfor med through its philosophy and give something new something different, something moder n in this historical area, but still close to the Chinese culture.
By using all of these elements, this design expected to bring new tourism attraction and also balancing the energy of this area.
WATER FIRE METAL WOOD EARTH
The water element in this area comes as a small pond in the middle of the obser vation deck. As the symbol of bir th, it expected to bring new ‘life’ to this area.
The fire element is a symbol of youth, which in this idea comes in the glass of the railing. Hopefully this youth spirit comes through the district as well.
Metal represent ‘old age’, which is suitable with the historical background briefly showed up as the main str ucture, expected to be easy maintain and long last. Wood material brought to this concept are plant, wood itself, and spaces. Greener y also being the par t of this space that connects two alleys in this district.
This element obviously seen as where the str ucture took a place. Moreover the shadows that created from the shape are par t of this element itself.
This obser vation deck’s connecting two different alleys (gangways), Gang Gambiran and Gang Tengah. The existing data from Gang Gambiran shows that almost 90% of the area are family neighbor hood. The 10% lef t are an ar t galler y traditional temple, few small shops, stone’s craf house, and swallow’s nest. There are also some old houses that lef t behind in Gang Gambiran because of the high maintenance cost of the building.
These type of building proposed to be recovered and preser ved as guest houses where tourists can enjoy the traditional architecture during their leisure time.
In the other hand, Gang Tengah is more actives and looks more moder n due to the building types. It is fulfilled by public facilities and business activities such as banks, shops, and other offices. Even there are some family houses, most of it are already renovated to the more moder n face and also used as shop or restaurant in the ground floor.
Through this obser vation deck’s, hopefully those two alleys connected well and shared the different ‘attractions’ between them.

Lots of Italian old houses tend to be buildings under conservation rules. Including this building that I got to work with during my time with COPRAT. We want to keep the building as original as possible, but due to the building orientation, during certain time, the building will get too much sun expossure. In this case, I worked for several alternatives to give the facade a make over but still preserve the original setting. New facade and new emergency staircase are added to bring out the best feature on this building.
