A glimpse of the studio journey …
MSD Travelling Studio – Indonesia Semester 2 – 2019
Bringing together teaching staff and students from the MSD, the University of Stuttgart (Germany), and ITB (Indonesia), this studio exposes students to the global discourses of informal urbanism and emerging design thinking in this field.
In the survey stage, students will observe contrasting urban forms and spatial conditions along the riverscapes of the Indonesian cities of Jakarta and Bandung where formal and informal urban developments have long co-existed. In the design stage, students will focus on Bandung, where urban renewal and gentrification are gaining momentum. These have situated riverside settlements, public green open space, tourism development, and high-rise upper middle-class residential developments as seemingly competing urban ingredients. This studio will then address the question “How can we envision the in-between city?” It will explore how a more inclusive urbanism could be initiated through considered spatial and material configurations, integrating architectural, urban design and landscape architecture thinking.
