ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Mapping Transitions: Exploring Spatial Shifts as Substitute Urban Thresholds for Kampung Dwellers
Deepest gratitude to our studio tutor, Florian, for guiding us through the intricacies of our projects and facilitating our learning process. Additionally, to my studio mates whose collaboration and friendship have made this 13-week studio a memorable one.
This design journal documents the design process of the individual project aside from the initial case study and group research & masterplan. The journal illustrates the weekly progress of this studio.

PROJECT SUMMARY
Urban development in Indonesia often exacts a toll on kampung dwellers, frequently resulting in forced evictions, as evident in past masterplans. This displacement extends beyond physical relocation, contributing to the exacerbation of social and economic disparities. The project addresses this issue by proposing the creation of a transitional space to facilitate the integration of kampung dwellers into the developing urban area, primarily through education and empowerment initiatives.
The methodology employed involves mapping parameters related to programmatic connectivity and accessibility based on the types of activities and their perceived formality. This data is aggregated through a discrete assembly method, resulting in a transitional space that manipulates the layering of surfaces, volumes and ultimately, programmes. The architectural outcome is modular yet provides variations in spatial quality. This approach recognizes that the key to sustainable development lies in empowering individuals to navigate and thrive in their changing surroundings. Education becomes a pivotal component, acting as a catalyst for empowerment. Through workshops, skill development programs, and community-centric educational initiatives, the project aims to equip kampung dwellers with the tools necessary for active participation in the broader urban landscape.
In summary, the project seeks to address the inherent challenges in the urban development process in Indonesia by proposing a pragmatic solution. The focus on education and empowerment, coupled with a methodical mapping approach, aims to create a transitional space that not only bridges the physical gap but also fosters a sustainable and inclusive transition for the affected communities.
