HOW TO SEE THE VARIETIES OF URBAN POOR SETTLEMENT FROM UNSTABLE EXISTING


People and environment have always stand in one circle of Urban Issues. Some community submit to their less properly and unacceptable conditions. Architecture pressured to assist and accommodate a good urbanism, based on its inner possibilities and potentialities. Proposed site in Industri Dalam is quite complex and diverse of settlement problems within Bandung context, where the situate should give an additional value especially for themselves. Deeply seeing the multiple problems in life of dwelling activity opened the alternative improvement concepts which offer sustainable and better living status for these unique society. This approaches are wished to established strategies and thinking of design process in the reaching of proper settlement

PLACEMAKING

PLACEMAKING DESIGN
The essence of place making is the creation of economically vibrant, aesthetically attractive, lively and engaging, pedestrian-friendly places. Increasingly, another factor is coming into play—sustainability—leading to an increased focus on infill, mixed-use, walkable, and transit-served development projects as critical components for building healthy and enduring communities. However, delivering these dividends continues to be full of challenges for both developers and public officials.
Place making offers developers, public officials, and consumers unbeatable opportunities to collaboratively create thriving, profitable, sustainable environments to live, work, and play. Great place making requires bold vision, entrepreneurial business models, and long-term commitment from private and public sector players. Optimizing these opportunities can challenge even the most inventive professionals.

“questions”
what is the place making edge today?
what does it take to make mixed-use benefits outweigh risks?
what strategies do successful place making developers use?
what lessons do past place making projects offer?
how can public transit investment create value for place making?
how can place making principles add value to single use properties?

why it becomes a placemaking?

focus activity areas
The best public space often have nodes of activity (with pavement/street cafes or markets), complemented quiet zones for rest and people-watching.
Deciding the relative positioning of activity areas requires attention to :
visibility – enabling people to have views across spaces, while giving them a choices of areas to sit or linger in relation to activity “hot spot”
orientation – facing sunny and well sheltered spots with seating provide the most popular spaces for lingering
facilities for sitting and stopping at activity nodes and crossing
places for play

Uses in and around the spaces
encourage street performers
transform squares into evening film auditoria or theatres
accommodate markets, carnivals or parades

Build in versatility
designing versatile spaces that enable different people to enjoy different activity in the same spaces as far as possible

Routes through space : enable people to pass directly from A to B

MVRDV's DESIGN METHODS

by Michael Lengkey 25209009



the architectural approaches of the three famous figures who proceed as a team namely MVRDV where they combining a range of disciplines, including urban planning, landscape design, furniture design and architecture also fair enough known for their active role in developing and implementing a broad-minded approaches in their architectural theories.

URBAN PLANNING
radical methodical research on density and on public realms, through investigation and use of the complex amounts of data that accompany contemporary design processes and space are shape methodically also they stick to emphasised the conflicting character of the various program components by weaving them together.

ARCHITECTURE DESIGN & FURNITURE DESIGN
clients and users are intensively involved at an early stage of the design process. reactions to the first designs can be processed quickly, creating a high degree of support for the design and encouraging the sort of new insights that can lead to specific innovative solutions, generalism and verve is linked with the specialization and thoroughness of the other team members. The products of this approach can vary therefore completely. They range from buildings of all types and sizes, to urban designs, publications and installations.

theoretical approaches
turning the process of conception into spatial or organizational research, in which they involve, from the project’s premises onward, the greatest possible number of contributors and data. in every instance, the spatial consequences, and the limits and potential of a sweeping overview of situations, are examined and shown. the limits encountered are tested by a systematic intensification, so as to reveal the extremities. this constitutes a radicalization that helps to identify these limits, and makes the formulation of a discourse about them possible. the extreme diversity of these data thus finds a pragmatic transcription in a spatial matrix consisting of the superposition of the diagrams that distribute these data (datascapes).

At last,
MVRDV have a utopian quality even though critics would be tempted to slam some of their plans as Le Corbusier-inspired modernist dystopias.
