Supervisor: Dr. Eng. M. Donny Koerniawan S.T., M.T.

Location: Nipah Island, Bulang District, Batam

In the design of this project, it is assumed that the selected land is vacant and the project is initiated by the private sector that sees opportunities to empower the potential of natural resources in the Barelang area as well as to improve the welfare of the local community.

The food hub has 5 main components according to the food cycle chain, which are food production, food processing, food distribution, food consumption, and food waste management. The food hub space programming will allow visitors to have a behind the scene tour, giving visitors an exclusive look at the workings of the food hub. The purpose of this tour is to educate the public about food and introduce Indonesian food and culinary delights to foreign tourists.

issue & theme

Based on the analysis of millennial and gen z lifestyle trends in this digital era, there’s a tendency to strengthen their personal branding, especially social media. They are ‘thirsty’ for content, visuals, and uniqueness. The keywords that are trending are “Instagramable”, “Stories”, and “Aesthetics”. A survey from Business Insider and McKinsey shows the trend of space needs of today’s youth, namely “Fun and Interactive”, “Technology Integrated”, and “Flexible Spaces”. From these keywords and the study of placemaking precedents, the concept of “Art” was selected as the theme of this lifestyle centre. This concept refers to bold art in the hope that visitors can feel the flow of creativity and feel more alive when they are in this lifestyle center. But why art?

• Emphasizes freedom of expression and collaboration

• Art is a field that consist wide range of creative activities

• Answering the needs of unique and instagramable places

The name ‘The Ato’ comes from the Japanese pronunciation ア ー ト which means art. The lifestyle center design concept is also inspired by the colors of the Harajuku area in Japan, Haji Lane in Singapore, and Melaka Street Art in Malaysia. This concept provides a place to create and hone creativity for local artists and tenants who will rent.

Domestic Design Submission | Awarded 1st Place

In collaboration with Kenny Sunjaya and George Michael

DAKOCAN is a modular ‘kost-an’ room in a small size that fits in a common Colt Truck Diesel in Indonesia. The module can easily delivered and stack up to 4 floors height on an empty site.

Other Works: Covidtecture - Podkes

Covidtecture Competition by FACADE ITB 2020

Emergency Design Submission | Awarded Top 3

In collaboration with Kenny Sunjaya and George Michael

Podkes is a modular emergency hospital room. The name of Podkes came from the abbreviation of Pod Kesehatan which means health pod. COVID-19 Pandemic that currently happening on earth brought us to the importance of the medical unit for an emergency because we would never know when and how will the pandemic waves come to us. Most countries such as China, England, and Korea are able to build an emergency hospital in a very short time. Meanwhile in Indonesia, the government transformed a lodge into an emergency hospital and took longer time than the other country that made a new one.

Podkes serves a modular hospital room in case of an emergency. It can be stored into a small cart and when it necessary, it can be assembled into a 10 square meter hospital room, complete with bed and other utilities at once. That makes Podkes different than the other emergency hospital which separates the room and utilities. With Podkes, an emergency hospital can be built faster in a big quantity on a big hall or site in case of an emergency situation.
