Jakarta can be understood as a blend of Kota (the formal city) and Kampung, the (traditional villages).The great ‘taste’ of the city can be found within these Kampung. Our research group aimed to map and understand some of the major issues Jakarata is facing. From a larger scale towards the smallest scale, many problems seem to be interlinked.
Viewed from the larger and the smaller scale at the same time, my designs try to mediate between the needs of the city and the needs of the common Kampung inhabitant. The approach is an attempt to incorporate the need for infrastructural change and the economic potential in the benefit of the smaller local context.
