Madya Stadium or Stadion Madya is one among the original venues that was built for 4th Asian Games, therefore it is listed as a registered heritage. The venue mostly hosts athletics and other outdoor competitions. It consists of main tribune and secondary tribune; originally only the main tribune was sheltered. There was no appropriate connectivity between the two, leaving spectators without cover or proper access. For so many decades the venue was home to the athletics associations and had been altered by unsightly additions including temporary accommodations for athletes. For enabling the venue to host the 18th Asian Games, Madya Stadium must comply to several requirements: a clean spectator access control and circulation system, weather protected seatings, and adequate access for diffables. The primary challenge lies on how to provide a big span roof on top of the protected monument without disturbing the original structure and its significant architectural features. Intended as a low key approach, the architectural idea for Madya Stadium is to build a new wide cantilever roof over the original structure and to add a row of new columns in front of the original structure. Apart from the new roof, the architect employs small simple masses at the end of the two original structures which function as the main entrance gates. The two gates will direct spectators to Adding Gaps Between The New And The Old Elements the tribunes, linked with covered circular walkway. New Elements Existing Building Special Treatment Renovation
1962 Facade
The main idea is to design a modern contemporary architecture that resembles the 4th Asian Games while preserving the old existing building and bring the soul back to its original state that has been built in 1962 for the first Asian Games. Therefore, the elements that have been added thus far is demolished and redesigned.

The main subjective is to create a flexible 2 building prototype that could be applied into 12 different sites with each unique characteristic. It is also intended to transform negative space in Jakarta such as inhabitant of the space beneath a bridge, abandoned parks and other unpopulated spaces. Shelter typology was chosen for the building concept. It has an excess of simplicity, easily applicable, and low cost building with passive design, that is designing with maximum cross ventilation to enhance low energy consumption of natural lighting and air flow.

As time passes, the development of museum reach two logical paradigm, museum as a public commons and the logic of the private collection, how this two logics entangled in contemporary institutions can reflect the relationship between a museum and its audiences. It conclude that as the time being, the possibility to separate the main collection and the public area where people could access freely, though the idea to blend them together could still be applicated through visual experiences and design. The main theme for the museum is Traditional children’s games , it is the result of cultures containing the values of educational, therapeutic, recreational, normative, creative, etc that teach an educational values. It was also a legacy which is socialized for generations.

A few essential elements of museum is taken and combined with public playground. The idea is to conserve the two idea of museum that is Italian memory theatre, that classified every knowledge as an exhibition, and Germany Wunderkammern that arrange the collection inside a mysterious, eccentric, closed box that drive curiousity. As for the story line, it take us into a journey around Indonesia, to see the diversity of the traditional games culture which was classified by Jakob Soemardjo as a collection agglomeration. Salad Bowl, is a term used for a methapor of opposing the homogeneous levelling of Melting Pot. It is described that Indonesian diverse culture and race live harmoniously side by side with its unique characteristic without mixing them just like Peanut Salad.

Heavy pollution of river water by household and industrial waste in Jakarta, is threatening the health of its citizen and the ecosystem that lives in it. Among thirteen river that flow through jakarta, Pesanggrahan river have a lot of potential to support the living of the region. With the majority of residential area, pesanggrahan has agricultural potential that can support settlement activities, such as food production, waste management, and water treatment but on the contrary absence of regional tourism in the surrounding area. The main idea is to build a recreational centre that aims to grow that potential, to build a clean riverbanks and recreate the ecosystem that once were there. Through a well developed public

space, people can enjoy recreational activity then learn an aquaphonic culture and water purification system at the same time, while the building itself is cleaning the water. Through connecting the local central park to the site with Canoe Trail and Riverside Walk, at the same time sort up the riverbanks along to the building site, and supposedly continue to spread along the river.

To keep the thermal comfort, expanded metal is selected for exterior use. Core, Steel Truss & Reinforced Concrete
Reinforced concrete core is one of the main structure that support this 5 storey building. Although Reinforced Concrete is the main construction, steel truss is the main supporting construction for the bridge area.

The water purification system is designed by John Todd, the concept is to mimic natural water treatment process. The system is divided into 6 stages: Solid settlement tanks, Anoxic tanks, Constructed wetlands, Aerated lagoons, Recirculating sand filter, and Dispersal fields.

Zimbabwe is one region with distinctive building construction and materiality in Africa. Instead of using mud based materials for the building, the ancient civilization have the craftmenship to build massive masonry buildings. Imba Huru, the Great Enclosure, is Great Zimbabwe’s crowning achievement and Africa’s largest masonry structure by the Shona Civilization. There is some special characteristic of spatial configuration of a dwelling in ancient Zimbabwe, as seen at the examples of Imba Huru, Nalatale, and Khami Ruins. They formed an enclosure womb of a pregnant mother.

The design needs to achieve 3 goals: aesthetic, functionality, and cultural value. Therefore, the design approach needs to emodied the holistic transformation of traditional to modern language. Our design process avoiding to naively replicate the traditional form to our design, but still we maintain the traditional value and spirit. This is the challege of us, as the architects of nowadays to revive our traditional value, spirit, and culture to be presented in this modern era as our proud identity through modern architectural expressions. As study the fundamentals of living, we found 3 basic aspects: harmony and security. We refer the symbolic expression of Adinkra Aya of resourcefulness and endurance, and Kete Pa of good bed and marriage (harmony) to be reinterpreted as building elements pattern.

The construction and materials are considered to be as simple and as low cost as possible. The materials are choosen by the local availability and simple assembly method, without devalue the aesthetic and functionability of the building. The wall construction are mostly made of cob wall, the earth based material supported by concrete structure. The concrete roof choosen for its durability to hold its additional function to catch rainwater and store it as secondary water supply. But to prevent cracks and heat absorbtion in summer, the surface are covered by locally available thatch and gravel to avoid the heat directly touch the concrete surface.
STRUCTURE & CONSTRUCTION SYSTEM Thatch Roof Coverage Finishing cover for concerete roof, also works as thermal isolation.

Zimbabwe climate is markedly varied by altitude. There is a dry season, including a short cool season during the period May to September when the whole country has very little rain. The main idea is to utilize sustainability through maximizing passive energy, it incarnate to the selection of perforated material as the wall divider so the natural air can get through as passive cooling. Then the inner courtyard as the center of the house brings natural light that can illuminate the whole living area. The reflecting pond is also placed in front of the house to control the humidity inside, and also to filter small unwanted subtance such as dust and sand.
