On the People’s Identity
MARIO YOHANES RINALDY 917889
THE INDONESIAN EMBASSY IN CANBERRA The discourse surrounding contemporary Indonesian architecture to superficially follow traditional based forms and patterns highlighted a broader issue on what is perceived to be our national identity. As the Indonesian government tries to increase the nation’s standing on the international scene, it is unfortunate that this literal aesthetic translation is being indirectly supported and replicated to reflect our advancements in society, culture, economy, and global participation.

Through a speculative redesign of the Indonesian embassy in Canberra, Australia, it is hoped that an updated Indonesian architectural identity and message defined by the people’s identity will be conveyed without relying on visual superficiality.

In an everchanging modern Indonesian society, resorting to visual traditionalism to define our modernity is an unsuitable solution. This thesis attempts to reinterpret a new national identity by using the Festival Indonesia opengate event as a basis to investigate the intrinsic spatial qualities and established cultural values on meeting and gathering, what kind of spaces they require both contemporarily and traditionally, while also balancing the formal, pragmatics, and security requirements of the embassy typology within the surrounding context.

Water greets the entry of the cultural section as well as the chancery. Reflective pools provides an intimate linkage inbetween building forms and programs.
The central courtyard greets the visitory upon entering the compound. A vast sightline into the rear of the building views into the grassland beyond. The court acts as a central uniting space for staff, visitors, ceremonies, and gatherings.
PERSPECTIVE 4
PERSPECTIVE 5
A three-story atrium decompresses the scale upon entering and reorient the layers of privacy within the chancery. Colorful pillars contrasted the formal nature of materiality and function.
During festival days, temporary tents and shelter can be erected within the central courtyard and surrounding spaces. Performances, displays, and visitors floods the public ground floor of the embassy.
