"..Which brings us back to Vitruvius, that monkey on the back of architecture, and to the modern version of his triad: function,tectonics, and aesthetics. These are areas in which architects feel they can exercise their expert knowledge: function as an abstraction of the complexities of use, tectonics as a codification of the vagaries of construction, and aesthetics as the maintenance of taste through various theories of form and composition." (Till, 2009)

Architecture is a storyteller I think that, architecture is a way to tell a story, a canvas for our uncertainty as being and a stage for the theater of an everyday life. There’s a dialogue between seen and unseen, people and surrounding, actor and background, order and “the other of order”, encapsulated into a being and structured matters. To see architecture merely as an object of function and form is boring yet degrading.

"You have to read the architecture as you read a novel. You need to understand the way the conflict happened, the actors that is involved in the story, and the way how the story told" Prof. Yandi Andri Atmo

The Story of BIGNESS

Sudirman Cocoon Sudirman cocoon is a building designed as a meeting place between civilianz and the POLRI to close the gap between these two oftenly-conflicting sides. Proposed in the middle of Jakartaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s iconic context, It does not only deal with the need of iconicity and complex programatic requirements, but also with the issue of BIGNESS (Koolhass, 1994). The intention here is to create a threshold space that can be transgressed so the user will be aware of the existence of intended memory transfer. The skin does not only become a media of separation, but also creates a continuous narration between outside and inside, day and night, real and surreal. It becomes a story teller, with two distinct story; one for the outsiders, and one for the user.

The Story of a Story : Flow and Separation

The Tanjung Barat The Tanjung Barat is a community center that aims to raise the people’s awareness towards the importance of waste management. In order to do so, the building was designed just like a story. The program and space hierarchy offers a dialogue between the actors and the detailed step of waste processing to create a whole understanding. By creating pause and play area, The actors are encouraged to make some improvisation towards the “story”, so they would feel a sense of belonging. Just like a novel, there is a twist in every corner of the project that reveal the unseen beauty of the context.

The Story from the Kampung Origin: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Otherâ&#x20AC;? of Order

Omah Dhuwur Modern people somehow tends to get easily iritated when it comes to chaos, the thing that they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t control and put into order (Till, 2009). Especially in dealing with the problem of mass housing. More often the rulers (can I say so?) neglects the fact that informal settlements mixed-use, ultra dense configuration, and so called chaos promotes an interweaving of overlapping territories that strengthen social, economic, and cultural networks (Muniz, 2013). The keyword here is informality and the other of order. Therefore, in this project I try to look deeper into the story of the kampung alley, the story of architecture that somehow denied.

The Story from the Useless: Reuse of the Unused

Warung Musik This project inspired by the warmth and delight quality that indonesia traditional warung have to attract more customer to a music store. The intention of the design is not only to present and organize an already familiar things, but also to introduce a new purpose and representation to the object. in term of altering function and celebrating unseen aestethic. Another thing that came to my consideration, is to make the design as standout as possible (of course to attract more consumer) by using a distinct tectonic representation of bamboo that inspired by â&#x20AC;&#x153;anyamanâ&#x20AC;? mechanism.

The story of the architecture and its unknown Limit

Reading Limit of Architecture through design process The paper discuss the readings of limits in architecture through design process. Architecture is always evolving; it’s changing its position and shifting everything within it. But if I ask you now, can we define architecture position now? Tommorow? How?. The concept of Limit in architecture appears to define architecture’s position in more appropriate manner (Tschumi, 1980). However, there is no variables and parameters that can be used to determine limit. The study concluded that limit in architecture is an important concept in defining “new architecture”. Through deep analysis towards the design process that happen in several different

period of era, the study conclude that it can be used to read the limit in architecture, either be seen or not. Moreover, the studies also found that changes in design process has encouraged a displacement of limit in architecture that provoke a new architecture.

The Story of The Forgotten: Deep Down to The Origin

Asah Asih Asuh There’s a sundanese philosophy called asah-asih-asuh that become a fundamental aspect of sundanese tradition. It is filled with positive message towards the interdependence relationship between human, nature and god. These philosophy somehow forgotten, or seen as an irrelevant philosophy that are buried by the complexity of today’s issues such as energy crysis, food security , global warming, etc. making it unadaptable for modern world. This becomes the main inspiration for the project as the initial idea that intends to implement the retelling of the story of asah-asih-asuh in the inhabitant’s everyday life. The implementation of the concept was reconstrudted the way traditional sundanese house form, plan, configuration, performance, with a consideration of todays issue to tell the story that might be forgotten.

The Story of Imagination

Folk(S)lore Folks lore is a child playground that situated in the middle of terminal 3 ultimate airport, designed to reintroduce a new way of designing children playground inspired by forgotten child folklore. The main idea of the project is to questioned the status quo of boring and unchallanging playground that exist in indonesia today, that somehow restricted by parents paranoia towards safety. The main playground is inspired by folkloreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s background-context, a big tree, designed with affordance theory, so the children can perceive the space with a lot of possibilities as they move-in into the playground

The Story from Above

From Korowai, to Korowai The Korowai tribe in Papua known for their unique way of dwelling; in a tree house called boluf, on top of a giant tree, with elevation up to 50 meters high. They live in the middle of Bumahai, Papua with a sense of interdependece with nature. In 1979, their pattern of life gradually changed when the government did some intervention, moving Korowai people from above to ground for â&#x20AC;&#x153;decent resetlementâ&#x20AC;?, argue that it is to civilized them. To add some more irony to that, now theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been struggling with the force of modernization, being a tourism material and slowly being objectified as an ancient artefact. The story of the interdependence between the tribe and nature begin to collapse and somehow gone in the middle of the process of change. The pupose of the design is to make a mediator for that process of change by creating a new story of interdependence between korowai people and the world.
