The existing Sidomulyo kampung community thrives upon social networks and organizations that are fundamental to the functionality of the kampung environment. The practice of Gotong Royong (spirit of collaboration) establishes identities within the cell network through individual participation and contribution to the greater good of the community. These characteristics establish positive connections to people and place making the kampung societies so unique. This proposal hopes to build upon these functioning social networks but also encourage and incorporate the youth within the society who seem to struggle with a sense of identity and connection to place. Through a series of public and private insertions, ranging from performance and social stages, a Javanese arts centre, river jetties, vegetation + sanitation blocks and active shade meshes the youth are given a sense of purpose and are provided with opportunities to work, rest and play (alongside the rest of the community). The new developments are designed to engage all users of the kampung and bring a new and holistic social scene to the centre of the urban environment. The re-incorporation of the youth will result in a re-invigorating community filled with energy. The ‘celebration of the river’ has been lost through the current sanitation and waste issues. This proposal intends to revive both the tradition of the river and the issues of waste and sanitation. It aims at drawing in the waste material to utilize it in the ‘mesh’ installations. Whilst maintaining visual connections to the rivers edge, the sanitation installations seek to establish a sense of pride through the unique nature of each individual installation. The stage and jetties seek to ‘reach out’ to the river to form a platform extension connecting the kampung dwellers to the river and encourage a new sense of pride of place. The community gardens, the integration of the Javanese arts and the celebration of everyday activities such as washing and cooking are all initiatives seeking to encourage contribution and participation within the kampung community.

kampung
yogyakarta is the arts capital of indonesia therefore it seemed fitting that the community building intervention for the bina karya site fitted the potential of the site. given the significance of arts in indonesian culture it also has the potential to be a strong educational tool for the individuals and the community as a whole.
river waste
The proposal seeks to reuse and recycle and use waste material where possible - the mesh being made of plastic bottles retrieved from the waters edge and its surrounds, as well as using reneweable resources such as bamboo
1:500 bina karya incremental development
The arts centre seeks to promote the enjoyment of learning, this is added to by the reading room wedged between the existing library and the pendopo/arts centre. The project tries to address many forms of learning - by reading and observing but predominantely by participating. The arts centre encompasses fabric and textiles in the batik making area, the making of the mesh screens, the community garden, the handicraft of making the shadow puppets. The shadow puppets are a traditional indonesian artform where by expert craftspeople mould the puppets and then perform in the open pavillion known as a pendopo with an orchestra known as gamelan.
entry’s
The arts centre can be seen as a catalyst project for using waste and materials with a local stigma attached such as bamboo in community/public buildings - this will start to develop a new association with these materials that has a more positive light. This project seeks to maintain the indonesian traditional identity but also to develop an identity where a modern more localised community and individual identity is established through the built form and the interactions it influences.

useable mesh
diagram below shows the network of cells at a greater density than northern sidomulyo (9m2 per person) includes 20-30% agriculture, and the remainder split between private space, public space and open space provided by the mesh. tenure is secured collectively, with 20-30 members required for each cell. the system of incremental growth allows for a flexibility of the space over time so long as the ‘rules of the game’ are adhered to. the most significant of the rules relates to the mesh and to the entry point - the mesh rule has been adapted slightly since playing the game as it led to too many cul de sac’s evolving.
learning and education
this growth means that the development can happen over time, and the density can incrementally increase. the ratio of agriculture is likely to be higher initially and then houses creep into the agricultural space gradually over time where necessary. this pattern of access to 1 communal bench, 1 composting toilet block & 1 identity pad means it can be adapted across the whole bina karya site.

bu eri’s house has a vertical division of privacy rather than standard walls, this allows for flexible use of the entire floor plate. her animals sit alongside the mesh element, her children play in the agriculture within close proximity of the house, fresh market produce is easily accessible, the breaking down of the bina karya wall provides a public private interface that is an habitable wall
1:100 section b-b community space
materiality - bottles and bamboo are collected/harvested nearby to be used as the building material, bu eri oversees the installation of these mesh elements in the house and the sidomulyo community. the community spaces include a reading room, a pendopo for wayang (shadow puppetry) and a viewing space for the audience as well as batik making to encourage participation from the community to make fabrics to be installed on the inside of the pendopo. the building of the mesh brings the waste away from the rivers edge allowing it to become more of a social space than a space of sanitary issues. this project seeks to bring back the spirit of gotong royong and the celebration of the river through these small interventions.

bu eri is pak eri’s sister and maintains a close relationship with the adjacent community due to her family ties. she is a unique individual aspiring to incorporate the youth within the community through the arts. she runs the new centre of javanese arts for the youth + rehabilitation clients within the community, her involvement is paramount in developing exhibitions and performances in the new river stage installation linking the bina karya site to the entirety of the adjacent sidomulyo community. in her spare time she works on her own pottery pieces at the front of her house which becomes quite a social hangout for her neighbours that gather around to watch. she then displays and sells her clay pots from the steps of her home. the eri children go to school and in the afternoons enjoy participating in their mothers work. the family require a small house for sleeping that is close to the arts centre but also would benefit from open space to the front of the house to openly work on community projects swelling out into the public arena, bu heri and her husband work alongside bu atomo (the community cell leader) in producing the recycled screen meshes that are believed to utilized waste materials and provide shade and shared outdoor ‘hangouts’.
