ABOUT KAMPUNG CIKINI

Jakarta is one of the biggest megacities which have a population of over 10 million, and it is expanding its area rapidly. Cikini is one of high density town in Jakarta. Kampung Cikini is in the center of Jakarta. Kampung, in English “a village�, was swallowed into the city along the urbanization to form the informal residential district. (fig.1) In Cikini, around 3,200 people are staying on 4 hectare land. around 3,200 people are staying on 4 hectare landIncluding temporary residents, 5,000 people have their life here. Many small houses from one to three stories are gathering and making super high density built environment. A shopping street, which was railway track in Dutch colonial age, is now making a strong axis of this area. Because of the low living cost, good access to the city center, and rich community of neighborhood, many people are thinking to keep staying here. But, many problems such as polluted groundwater, illegally-disposed garbage on a street, or high risk of disaster are necessary to be solved.(fig.2) We have proposed a strategic approach in micro scale to tackle with megacities pragmatically since 2011. Topical interventions should be applied frequently to give immediate solutions to actual problems, at the same time to manage strategically the entire megacity.

Urban structure is spatially continuous and everywhere is affecting each other from macro scale to micro scale. What micro scale projects have to think is how they could contribute to the entire Jakarta megacity and how their value could be accepted in the global standard of value.

JKT WS 2012

Megacity Design Studio Indonesia-Japan was firstly started in 2011. More than 30 students from Japan and Indonesia collaborated in loads of creative discussions, which excelled by the supports from University professors and young architects from both countries to facilitate tremendous process during the workshop period. The workshop was divided into two main phases: the field survey and the proposal.

Based on workshop in 2011, 2012ʼs workshop tried to do one real physical construction on site. The main aim was to let local people aware about the value of the river.

The workshop explored “Alternative Helicopter”, which gives local people a chance to reevaluate the river. In order to turn the river into a place for relaxation or a playground for children, an architectural installation was designed with local people.

JKT WS 2015

JKT WS 2016

In this WS, we focused on “water”. Kampung that sometimes identical to informal area is actually connected with the formal (city) area by “water”. There are possibilities to link our bottom up and top down urban planning through the “water”. We conducted some detail surveys to grasp the current situation and to learn conventional knowledge from local people. After that, we made some proposals to improve the water infrastructure.

In this workshop, keyword is CELEBRATION. The CELEBRATION as a key and an integrated approach of design practice. In the end of workshop (August 21st 2016), students and local people together arranged celebration “Wedding Party of Kazuki Ueda” as a media of design implementation. About 20 participants from each country (Indonesia and Japan) participated for this yearʼs workshop.

In JKTWS 2013 we were working for the extension area of After Fire Project. The extension area were designed by students based on discussion with local people. Local people then voted one of three proposals made by students. The construction of extension area was done together by students and local community.

The aim of 2014 Workshop “VOID PROPOSAL” is to grasp how we implement VOID idea (AFPʼs main concept) in real living environment. In kampung, local people design and construct the houses by themselves. In addition, they often renovate their own houses depend on needs. House is not like a “trade” for them.

Therefore itʼs important to confirm and to discuss with them about how to integrate the idea with real condition.

JKT WS 2017

The points of this WS is the practice of micro approach. The theme is Imminent Commons. What is Imminent Commons?

The definition of Imminent Commons is observing situations precisely and finding force of necessity, which was the theme of Seoul Biennnale. We also set Bricolage as the keyword of micro approach.

Started from environmental void idea, After Fire Project was designed with the elements which are easy to understand for everyone such as daylight or wind, and was simply composed so that community residents can learn the idea and apply it to their own practice. Some workshops and meetings with local people were held for community engagement in this project.

In 2014, we started to think the next project which is MCK. Same as previous project, After Fire Project "Rumah Pintar", some workshops and meetings were conducted together with local people to grasp the knowledge and need of local people regarding MCK. Both Japanese and Indonesian students together with local people decided design alternatives and built the MCK. The MCK project was done mostly with youth community at Kampung Cikini.

Mapping -Macro

observation and Micro practice-

In JKTWS 2017, we made the local creation on the theme of bricolage (Levi Strauss). Residents of informal settlements skillfully divert given functions and create new. (Bricoleur). While “strategy” is built upon a holistic point of view, concerning political, economic and scientific efficiency, “Tactics” can be taken on improvising manner with flexibility in order to manage one’s living.

In the S2 term(May to July), we dealt with the former (super-macro, general). We explored the strategy of 'Micro practice in Cikini' with mapping [in] formalities.

"Informal residences naturally generate, how should we cope with it?" Mapping holds the key to it. And on this local WS we handle the latter (super-micro, small station).It is important to be conscious of both, and this is the purpose of the studio.

Global Comparison Mapping allows us to compare cities and informal areas in the world in a uniďŹ ed standard. It gives us new perspective to the cities as we can see from the maps above. However, for informal areas, it is diďŹƒcult for there are little datas and diďŹ nition is unclear.

17

Team-1Our team focused on the periodical transition of the urban structure. Usually the urban informality is defined by its current conditions, like the quality of housings and residents income. However, Urban Kampungs in Indonesia or Urban Villages in China obviously have their uniqueness in its historical characters. We aimed to define these informality s from the change in the city s street pattern change. Our procedure involved two steps, the first one is to classify the temporal informality of the each divided cell using street density and its regularity. Then, the corresponding cells of each time period were compared. In this analysis, the dynamics of the informal urban development can be visualized. For example, the analysis of the Canton showed the unique contrast of the transformations between the each side of now demolished city .

Comparative Analysis

Our hypotheses is that Sharp slopes where houses that can not get access to the road gather, are informal area , and we analyzed Tokyo, Jakarta, Mumbai, Shanghai and Rio in 3 scales-- 5, 10 and 50 km square.

1st we got the satellite images of 5 cities from Google Earth, divided them into 555m or 1.4km squares and marked the altitude. Then we knew the altitude difference between each unit and have a Topographical grid Map. 2nd we evaluated the Accessibility to road of houses in each square, and got a graph of accessibility. 3rd we combined these 2 graghs, and got the mapping of Gradient＊accessibility.

We checked the places that are considered informal with street view and compared them with mappings in the book 『Mapping urbanities: Morphologies, flows, possibilities』, and found that the two mappings are basically coincident, especially on the darkest place. Which is to say, the index gradient * accessibility to road is helpful in finding the most informal area. Besides, While gradient and informality are not necessarily related, accessibility to the road is a very strong index of informality.

This group maps boundaries between formal area and informal area. By focusing on boundaries of buildings, streets, and blocks, the mapping shows gaps in cities and this indicates the (in)formality regardless of the patterns or codes of buildings, streets. We mapped boundaries of the density of buildings and that of the codes of blocks. We attempted to ďŹ nd informality in the relation of these two boundaries.

1. Boundaries in a city

When we see aerial images, we can find some boundaries of

areas depending on its codes of streets ofbuldings(density, hight, similarity, etc ).

2. Find informality as a gap

Our method to map informality is to find boundaries which

show a gap between two areas. Informality is relative context and we thought its difference shows up as a gap.

3-1. Boundaries of the density of buildings We can find bordaries where the density of buildings changes. This shows the differnece of density of two districes regardless of the degrees of density.

3-2. Boundaries of the codes of blocks.

We also focus on codes of blocks and streets. We founds the boundaries where the codes or rules of blocks and streets change, regardless of types of codes or rules.

The cases of boundaries were; 1)The boundary of the density of buildings and the boundary of blocks are coincide: 2) These two boundaries are not coincede: 3)There is no clear boundary: In this mapping, the case no.2 shows more diversity of patterns and we found informality in this type of area.

We focused on two major things in mapping.The first is the number of public facilities .

Public facilities is a facility that basically target various people such as shops and hospitals. The second is Urban pattern . While formal areas are easy to understand for everyone, we thought that informal areas are easy to understand for only certain people. We thought of these two items together and defined the formal area as an area that is more accessible to various facilities, while the informal area is a plain place for a specific person. As a mapping method, we first create a map with two indicators the number of public facilities and Urban pattern). Next, multiply that item and create a map of 9 colors (3 x 3). By doing so, you can see the area with potential even in the mixed area: an area where there are attractive facilities, but the road is difficult to understand. There is no facility but an easy-to-understand area for anyone. Finally, mapping was done with formal-informal index in one color

are in progress in urban nodes such as Shibuya and Shinjuku. Private initiatives are leading the projects and the whole district has turned as if a monstrous shopping mall. You are obliged to consume, spend money on shopping, drinking or eating, if you wish to enjoy and feel comfortable there. Curiously there is a scarce criticism against commercialization of public spaces. Moreover, they are appreciated as good practices of publicprivate partnership. Why Japanese people welcome the private oriented upgrading urban spaces rather than striving for the right to the city?

fig1.The private and public realm

fig2.The rise of the common realm

Public, common and private Public space is generally translated into Japanese kokyo-kukan ( 公 共 空 間 ). Ko( 公 ) means ‘public’ and kukan ( 空間 ) means ‘space’. Then, what is kyo ( 共 )? It means ‘common’. The precise meaning of kokyo-kukan ( 公 共 空 間 ) is public-common space, and not public space. Japanese cities haven’t had symbolic squares or main streets such as European cities (Okabe 2017). The traditional urban fabric of Japanese neighborhoods is characterized by a network of narrow alleys (Sand 2013). They are common spaces for neighbors rather than public spaces. They are regarded as public-common spaces.

Gibson (1986) also wrote about nesting and hierarchy. He suggests that there is a hierarchy in nesting and units can take subordinate and superordinate roles and may also be transitional and overlapping.

The research was conducted in the HI Roundabout, one of the most popular places in Jakarta. The HI Roundabout is surrounded by tall buildings with commercial functions such as shopping malls, offices, and hotels. Every Sunday from 6:00 to 11:00 a.m., this area is used for Car Free Day (CFD) events to provide an opportunity for Jakarta citizens to

Observations were carried out on a weekly basis to reveal the types of activities, the actors, and the places of activity. These data show patterns in the use of the space around the HI Roundabout by those attending the CFD events.

Teenagers and communities often hold many attractions, campaigns, promotional events, and performances while selling food and other merchandise. The observation shows that there are events nested within the main event (Gibson,1986).

In CFD events, a variety of activities overlap in the space; they are interrelated and provide mutual support to each another. The main

Tactical Urban Wedding -What Bridges the SUPER MACRO and the SUPER MICRO?-

Local construction workshop on micro practice in informal residential area ‘Cikini’, located in the center of Jakarta. Chikini is a district where Okabe, a studio coordinator, has been using as a project field since 2011.

We have practiced this short-term workshop everyear, while carrying out activities to construct shared facilities with the community.

This workshop, with community, will carry out from planning, preparing and celebrating of a wedding party, of a former member of Cikini project as a practice of tactical urbanism.

1. Reconsider informality from wedding?

Tactical urbanism is characterized by its tactics. With a tactic to question something to the society, it takes action on a specific site.

The terms and conditions of this workshop are: 1) Using a wedding party as a tactic.

2) Question informality of residence. (One idea can be regarding ‘Water’) As you thinking about informal settlement issues, I would like you to design a wedding party as an effective tactic.

2. Why can wedding be a tactic It is the second time following 2016 to make wedding the subject of this workshop. The groom of 2016 was a former project member from the first communal facility project. We tried to think about informality by setting the parade route to bridge formal and informal.

In order to raise a question socially, it is crucial to involve people from different backgrounds, and 2016 WS suggested that wedding is with tactical potential.

3. Informal residences as Tactical urbanism While urban designing and planning by the professional seeming to have shown its limit, tactical urbanism encourages local people to act for themselves to enrich their place. <Independence, activeness> are emphasized here. From this point of view, informal residential districts can be viewed as developed areas of the tactical urbanism practice. As a former project member in Cikini, Mr. Genta Sawai, the groom of this wedding party, investigated the water problems typical to informal districts, and designed and constructed a meeting facility and shared toilets. He investigated how the residents manage their wastewater on their own initiative in the absence of sewage infrastructure, although with problems of sanitation.

members Valdo Karya/Raynald Santika Fiona Alexandra Nizomi Rana Fitri Athaya/Achmad Soerio Hutomo Nisrina Nur Septriyani Mizuki Iseki Fen/Takehiro Okada This site is located at the start of the parade, and is one of the largest open spaces in the whole community.

As we pursue the survey, we came to realize the rich possibility of the site. It was used as an extension to a personal residence, a gathering spot, and a playing field for children. A guardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shed, usually unused, was a physical infrastructure with a potential. However, the site has been taken up as a motorcycle parking. They are essential means of transportation where large vehicles and public services are unavailable. Although motorcycles presence is unavoidable, we found that they also have positive affordances, that it was used as a chair to sit on, or even a playground toy that children can play on.

To maximize these potentials, we planned a small stairs that connected the shed to the center of the site. Paintings to celebrate the wedding was done on the shed and the stairs, creating a stage for bride and groom. Motorcycles that previously had occupied the site was rearranged around kembang kelapa, a Betawi wedding ornament, to be used as seats for the audience.

These temporal interventions aims at two long term goals. By connecting the guardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shed and the site, the shed will be recognized as a part of the open space and utilized by the locals. This axis can also change the alignment of the motorcycles to leave the center vacant. Secondly, the idea that parked motorcycles can be included in open space composition, will be passed on in the community after the wedding ended.

Re-Design Re-Born members Muhammad Razaq Raudhi Hutari Maya Rianty/Ziqo Birgita /Dhanendra Prathama Dwik Ristanto/Haruko Dong Jingyao/So Nishimura This site is located in a place that can be called Cikiniâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s entrance.There is a motorcycle repair hall next to the site, so parking a lot on the premises such as bikes waiting for repair.

There is a chickenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meeting place on the far side of the site.In front of that there are plenty of plants on a tall shelf and there is a closed atmosphere.

We thought that we could improve this site by utilizing what we had until now rather than creating something new on this premises. In other words, we thought that we could improve the environment of the premises by using only the materials that are available as much as possible and make a good shooting spot at the wedding ceremony. So I looked at the wooden box.

Many wooden boxes are used in the market to bring fruits and grains. The wooden boxes are made by the farmers at the time of shipment, they are made roughly and the strength etc. varies greatly depending on the box. Residents in the area use wooden boxes as garbage boxes and luggage compartments, but many wooden boxes are thrown away. For that reason we will pick up the wooden box and reinforce it as a bench and plants shelf by applying appropriate reinforcement. And by arranging this arrangement various spaces are born. I divided the bike parking lot and the space chosen by the residents so that they could talk more safely or changed the space to open space by creating a space like the edge before the meeting place.

We will create this box with local residents.

And I ask local residents to know the convenience of this box and I hope that people in the area will devise newly and create various other ways of use.

Site 3 is a small square in front of an elementary school in Cikini. Since elementary schools in Indonesia are generally separated in the morning for lower grades and in afternoon for upper grades, this square is always full of children. At the same time, street venders of snacks, lotteries also was gathering, targeting these children.

When we conducted field survey, we were surprised by the number of children, but also surprised by a number of staff on the street which occupied most space of this small square. The width of this square was 4.9 m, however, these staff was occupying more than 4m, which means people only used 1m in the middle for passing by.

So our idea was to make this space larger by organizing these things to show the spatial potential of this square. We wanted local people to get different impression about this small square that was always occupied by staff like motorbikes. We thought if we can do so, this place will be used for more fun events, not always, but sometimes.

What if we organize these staff....

members Domic Vincent A.K/ Rizqy Mulya Alfiyanti Muhammad Iqbal/ Husni Fadhil Maulana Helga Sania Putri Masashi Sugiura Gong Xinjie Masatora Atarashi As the end of the route, site 4 is where the wedding ceremony takes place. It includes 3 spots—the road, the building MCK and a parking lot. Between MCK and the parking lot there is a garbage dump, so the site is very smelly.

Sometimes people hold weddings and events on the parking lot.

Some local people are worried about the quality of water provided in MCK because it is next to the garbage dump.Based on the current situation, we proposed 3 super macro targets—garbage, water and accessibility to organized public space.

For the first 2 targets— garbage and water, we hope to take the wedding as an opportuni- ty to clean up the garbage dump and the surrounding, so that people’s impression of the site would be somehow different. First, we want to encourage people to use garbage bags. The site is smelly mostly because they always throw garbage directly into the dump, so we plan to make a cute trash can and encourage people to throw garbage into it. In addition, we intend to distribute good-looking garbage bags to local people and ask they to bring these bags back on the wedding day filled with garbage as invitations. Second, since consumption of bottled water in Jakarta is amazing, as an attempt to exploit the potential of garbage, we choose to make most of the wedding decorations with used bottles. About the last target, we believe that everyone has the right to get access to organized public space. Therefore, we take investigation about the current situation of the space , design and draw lines, and arrange the wedding scene using these lines.

My promise

Genta Sawai(groom)

The first time I visited Cikini was Feb 2013, it was also my first experience for me to visit foreign countries. I still remember that I was overwhelmed with the power of Cikini’s life. When I had got used to the life I recognized the event which is often held in the alley is the wedding ceremony and I encountered the ceremony about once a week in Cikini. In the beginning, the scene seemed a little bit strange for me because wedding ceremony in Japan often conducted in the specific place for wedding cerebration. However as I got used to the life in Cikini I became to feel the strong attraction to the wedding ceremony which is made by preparing tent, chairs, dishes and ornament by themselves.

I had stayed in Cikini for one and half years totally. During the period, I asked by residences many times that I’ll hold wedding ceremony at Cikini and introduce my family to them and I promised it.

In this year I visited Cikini for the first time in 2 years, and I was able to hold wedding party. Though I expected smaller scale event during the planning stage, finally magnificent event which involves whole area of Cikini was carried out. I was really surprised by it. The contents and stage which was made by students and residents were wonderful. Those expressed the attractiveness of Cikini fully. And parade which involved whole area of Cikini seemed very powerful event. Especially, I was deeply moved to see the parade being outside of kampong CIKINI and walking proudly around.

My parents are also really moved by this wedding party. This wedding party has became a proud wedding for me that can not be experienced elsewhere.

I would like to express my gratitude to everyone who prepared in this wedding party. Especially, I’d like to express my gratitude to Okabe-sensei who gave me this opportunity.

Special place "Cikini"

Yuri Onuki(bride)

I’ve visited Jakarta in 2013,September for a workshop (UI & Okabe lab). At that time, I was surprised by the density and quantity of people. But people in Cikini were vety kind.

First time I heard about this wedding plan, Although it is not common in Japan, I thought it was very interesting. Probably because I knew that Cikini is a nice place. so I didn’t have big worries about having a party in Cikini. Five years have passed since last visit. I was worried that people and town changed.

We arrived at Jakarta in 13 September. The way from the airport to Cikini, Jakarta seemed to become clean.

But when we stepped into Cikini, there were people who didn’t change and smile to us heartily. I am extremely grateful for teachers and students to be pleased to work hard for the party. Despite limited time, materials and power, you made nice venues. The stairs where various materials were put in the concrete was beautiful. When I found a message on the blackboard I was happy and smiled. A picture of we pass through curtains with straws appeared in “Kompass(a popular newspaper in Indonesia)”. The decorations using PET bottles that were in the party venue were also beautiful. It was a nice photo spot. When children showed off dance and songs, I was about to cry a little more. It was a pleasure to celebrate what each person can do. My family and friends also said they enjoyed this party.

We were celebrated a lot and I wondered if there is nothing to be celebrated by so many people from now on. Cikini and Jakarta are special places for me. If we have children, I want to take them to there. Possibly, the city will change but I hope people who have warm hearts and nice smiles will not change.

the elements that constitute the built environment. The meaning of the element has been deprived, and a flat space where everything is nonhierarchically juxtaposed has spread.

However, the circumstances change completely at the event where large people gather. “Sajjāda” is laid not only in the mosque but also on the ordinary alley, which is transformed into the place of worship immediately. Just by temporarily setting the extremely small formal element “Sajjāda”, the formal space is created in a blink of an eye. I was surprised at the vividness of the transformation because most parts are routinely made (fig.2).

Place-Making by Wedding Parade This year's workshop "Tactical Urban Wedding" gave me a chance to think about the relationship between temporary formal event and “things” again. It is a kind of moving event that the wedding parade creates a temporary festival space, just like “Sajjāda” created a temporary worship space.

singing, residents properly took out the ceremonial rituals that can not be seen in everyday life. Kampong stores the festival ritual resources in it.

One example is a small square occupied with motorbikes.

Since the dispatch service such as GoJEK had got popular recently, the 125cc class small motorcycle has become an important tool around Kampong, not only for transportation but for the business tool for young residents. Yet, seeing motorbikes parked on a sidewalk or square, we often regard it as damaging the landscape and interfere with the activities of the original plaza, such as the children play or neighborhood communication. Students who participated this time also had a similar idea. One of the proposal was made to redeploy the parking bike that occupied the small square on the route of the wedding into the shape of flower petal to change the square into a temporary festival space.

It was not a bad idea as a temporary landscape design. However, once we visited the plaza, we saw the residence had been using already those bikes more than we expected. The parked bikes were utilized like outdoor furniture. Some of the bikes parked in the plaza are used like one badminton net, the other children sitting on the bicycle seat as outdoor benches. Surrounding these children, adults in the neighbor were chatting.

Small motor bikes are highly versatile mobility. It is a "traffic machine" that travels at speeds equal to those of trucks and cars on Jakarta's main streets and highways, but also the bikes squeeze into a small alley with a width of less than 1 meter. Jakarta motorbike is a medium that crosses
