Banjarejo Market Phase1 is part of the redevelopment of a traditional market in Bojonegoro in East Java. The parking roof in form of alternating zigzagging stripes transmits natural light and serves temporarily as market space during phase2, when the adjacent existing market will be torn down and rebuild. The Grain market’s linearity is structured by applying and mixing three different pitched roof types, also to relate to the neighboring scale.
Blue & Green Mosque A mosque design via an overlapping and stepping timber frame construction, radially arrayed along a Rub el Hizb, an eight pointed star as underlying organization. This results in a permeable vaulting space, where light and air can enter, while the structure itself obtains ornamental qualities in three dimensions. Hence ornament and structure become one system.

about Architecture firm Shau has built a library in Semarang, Indonesia, featuring a grand staircase, a net floor and a large communal swing. Microlibrary Warak Kayu is a public reading room for the Central Java city, but also functions as a mini community centre. Not only does it offer a variety of spaces for reading and study, it can also be used to host group events and workshops. It is the fifth “microlibrary” that Shau – a studio with offices in Rotterdam, Munich and Bandung – has built in Indonesia. Shau’s aim is to improve access to learning for those living in the country’s poorest communities. Microlibrary Warak Kayu was funded through through a donation from the Arkatama Isvara Foundation and will be managed by Harvey Center, a local charity group. It will become part of the city’s tourism route, served by a free bus tour, to encourage as many visitors as possible.

concept
Warak ngendog (egg laying bird) is a mythical creature resembling a rhinoceros carrying eggs on its back. This creature, celebrated during the Dugderan Festival held annually on September 23 a few days before the holiday of Ramadan, is believed to represent three different ethnic groups in Semarang: Javanese, Chinese and Arabian. Its head is like a dragon (Chinese), its body is the combination of buraq (a special animal resembling the winged horse with a human head believed to take Muhammad to Sidratil Muntaha -> Arabian) and goat (Javanese). Warak Ngendog is a children’s toy that was once very popular in the city of Semarang and its surroundings, and is usually sold during the Dugderan Festival, a folk festival in Semarang held to welcome the coming of Ramadan. The Dugderan celebration itself is a public market that is held at the Johar Market every Sya’ban month in the Islamic calendar. This celebration is held once a year to welcome the arrival of the Holy Month of Ramadan. The Dugderan celebration will be filled with people’s market activities in the heart of Semarang City, precisely in Johar Market. Dugderan usually lasts for a week before entering the month of Ramadan. The highlight of Dugderan itself is the street festival where Warak Ngendog is paraded along the Semarang city area. The day before Ramadan arrives, the top of the Dugderan Festival will be held. There will be a carnival which will be attended by red and white troops, drumband, warak ngendhog, residents who wear traditional clothes, cannons, and various other arts from Semarang. The creature is described to be part giraffe, part lion, part Chinese dragon, part horse, and part bird and is made into popular toys for the children to play with during the festival.
facilities The architecture studio deliberately added some playful details, so that the library would engage children and families. But most of its unusual features also serve some kind of function. For instance, the hammock-like net floor creates a comfortable setting for children to sit down and read a book, while parents can observes them from below. Similarly, the giant staircase creates an auditorium-style seating area for watching performances or movies. “It is important to have this multi-programmatic approach to make the library a popular place, since reading alone is not yet considered a fun activity in the country,� explained architects Florian Heinzelmann and Daliana Suryawinata. The building is raised up from the ground on wooden columns, which creates a reading room on the first floor and a sheltered, open space at ground level. This layout is designed to make the building appear more welcoming to new visitors.

ZA “Smart
Aarchitects t Masonry�
When one hears the term masonry arc not the first ideas to come to m heavy, massive, and inco proposal for “Sm them and an
chitecture, digital fabrication and automated construction processes are probably mind. By its very nature, the architecture produced with stone masonry is often orporates less natural light than alternative methods. However, with their research mart Masonry,� ZAarchitects are proposing to change masonry buildings as we know d open opportunities for digital fabrication techniques in stone and other previously ntiquated materials. Read on after the break to get a glimpse of what these new masonry buildings could look like and learn more about the process behind their construction. Designers Dmytro Zhuikov and Arina Agieieva derived the foundations and construction methods of their new structural system from the techniques used in traditional masonry buildings. As a construction method that has its roots in ancient history, the vast array of masonry building precedents offer contemporary architects a wealth of information to draw upon. One of the most significant challenges in designing masonry structures throughout history has been ensuring structural loading requirements and minimizing building mass wherever possible to encourage the flow of light and air. Because modern technologies allow us to optimize and minimize deadweight, the structural skeleton of Smart Masonry is incredibly light. Additionally, complex geometries can be achieved through the use of robotic construction techniques, ensuring that each element can be replicated with the same precision each time.
This proposed method is linked to the program and location of the building-makers center in Berlin. The machinery which will be used to construct the building will later be preserved at its core, serving as a reminder of the building’s origin and addressing its present functions. Conceptualized as a seamless mesh, overlapping and wrapping elements replace walls, columns, and beams. Saving on material and costs, the entire area of the building is designed as a “minimal surface� whose stress-pattern is optimized and materialized as a load-bearing pattern.
Mixing advantages of 3D printing and large prefabricated elements, the concept seeks to maximize construction efficiency, further reducing costs and enhancing precision. A robotic arm construction station enables the production of complex geometries on each floor. Compared to traditional methods, this robotic arm method is more compact and reduces labor costs throughout the entirety of the construction process. Additionally, it is much faster than 3D printing and can produce complex digital forms in a fraction of the time. The overall form of the structure is derived by beginning with basic geometries and manipulating them according to structural efficiency, with a technique known as “positive casting� used to conserve resources and to produce the design’s unique elements and geometries.
“spare”
table lamp
26 light-bulbs are stuck together like a cluster of bubbles. One light-bulb is connected to the power-source and burns.
This bulb will light up the other bulbs, wich function as a lampshade, diffusing and spreading the light.
When the bulb is burned out: simply screw the lampholder on to an other bulb.
“SPARE” is constructed from 25 classic clear lightbulbs and 1 clear LED-bulb that looks just like a classic bulb. Let a classic bulb or a LED-bulb burn. After +/- 50 years all the bulbs are burned up.
