From community center to the sewage treatment station

People have different roles in the site, and the will meet at each public spaces, such as research center, market and community center.

Community center

The visions from day to night shows that the market and community center produce the ideal open space for the residence.

Farmland and research center

The wok on the land will lead to the unique landscape in the urban area.

The residential area can support itself by producing food and experience of farming activities.

Deterring crime & Building communities around river Apuran

Ekta Rakholiya

The project concern start from very personal experiences during site visit regarding theft and presence of rehab centers. Through further studies, it is found that Indonesia was formally a transit country for drugs, with much of its supply coming from Europe and other parts of Asia.1 But During the last five years, the domestic manufacture of crystal math has increased and is predicted that Indonesia will soon rival Europe as a provider for the world’s MDMA consumption.2 This indicates high presence of organized crime and certainly unfolding prominently in Jakarta.

Looking further into the issue, it is found that usually young adults of age group 15 to 35 tend to engage in such organized crime. Most of them are either unemployed youth or migrant workers. Digging deeper into what motivates them to engage in the drug trade, three major factors are found

:

1. Quick money making - hence helps to achieve financial independence,

2. Strong sense of Community and brotherhood - as they are often unwelcomed lone migrants in the Urban centers3

3. Addiction

Hence, the project aim is to create systems that not only deter crime but make a gradual transition towards healthier transformation of the society. This is done through three major strategies largely borrowed from theory “Defensible spaces : Crime prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED) ”. This is achieved through three major strategies.

1. System Creations : To create cohesive society environment through job creation and social activities ;

2. Land use appropriation: To develop mix landuse and carefully re-laying road network to decrease the blind spots ;

3. On the ground : By transforming four different zones along the stretch of rive as per the immediate neighbourhood context.

Drug trade is not just an urban problem but a “Landscape issue” as well. When the cities act as breeding ground for drug trade - in the backdrop, large mass of rural land is transformed to cultivate the plants used for these stimulants. I believe, the solution to this also lies in Urban landscapes reforms. The proposed design interventions make an attempt to act as a circuit breaker for smuggling issues in urban centers by creating better opportunities for social well being and financial independence of the people engaged in this risky industry

As the title suggests, the quest is to explore the idea of “Fence”; the notion of boundary and [de] fence i.e. the idea of “un-fencing” with the aim of “defence” against crime. Responding to the rapidly rising organized crime in Jakarta (especially the drug trade & narcotics addiction), this project aims to transform the four different zones around the portion of river Kali Apuran into a vibrant space that not only act as a programmatic defense against existing crime, but also provide opportunity to achieve social well-being and financial Independence, hence making a move towards a better tomorrow. On a broader spectrum, the proposal tend to touch upon defense against rising economic inequality and flood issues as well.
