The Context
Contextual Problems and Demands

1. Uncontrolled Change of Use


2. Reclamation of Public Space into Business
Activities Space
3. Overcrowded Space due to Cumulative RECONTEXTUALIZATION
Effect from Various Activities
4. Traffic Networks and System Malfunction
5. Reinterpretation of Public Open Space into
Agile ‘Temporary Infrastructure’

THE NEW INTERVENTION AS A NON-CONSOLIDATED AREA

CREATING A NEW INTERVENTION WITHOUT ADDING


NEW FORCES/ TENSION TO THE SURROUNDING

‘DISAPPEARING’ NEW ‘COMPETITOR’ BUT COMPLEMENTING


THE CURRENT SITUATION
Inserting Potential Programmes

1. COMMERCIAL BASED ACTIVITIES


(REPLACING CURRENT STREET
HAWKERS ALONG LAPANGAN GASIBU)

2. WALKABLE SHOPPING STRIPS


PENETRATING THROUGH THE
PROGRAMMED SUNKEN GROUND

3. OTHER PUBLIC FACILITIES FOR


PUBLIC EASEMENT (I.e. toilets,
shaded rest area, landscaped
garden, parking area, public
transport networks, etc.
Transgressing Intervention

Reclaim (find new territories) Reject (deem unnecessary) Reinterpret (new interpretation
or new context for)

CORNERSTONES HEURISTIC READING


IN PRACTICES OF TOPICS AND ISSUES

1. CLIENT (who engages it) 1. RECLAMATION


2. PROGRAM (that justifies it) 2. REJECTION
3. SITE (that grounds it) 3. REINTERPRETATION
4. BUDGET (that pays for it) 4. RECONTEXTUALIZATION
Approaches a.k.a Exploiting New Territories of Design Methods

Provoking publicness
An architecture that is only barely there; installing minimal interventions to promote civil society building

SUBVERTING REGULATIONS
An architecture that is just barely legal; coercing clients and manipulating laws to our advantages

SUBVERTING BORDERS
An architecture of enclosure in places of separation; undoing or ignoring territorial restrictions to
improve living conditions

PRE-EMPTIVE CONSULTANCY
An architecture that anticipates disaster; developing interventions that counteract and respond towards disaster

MISUSING CLIENTS
An architecture of deception and inaction; how to remain unsolicited when approached by the client
