Zürich February 28 2013 Dear Professor Hadi, I am writing to invite you and your team of IPB students to participate in an internation-al design workshop on the Ciliwung river in Jakarta that will take place from March 15th to March 22nd 2013 in Jakarta and Singapore. Students from four different schools will participate in the event. These schools are the ETH in Zürich (Professor Christophe Girot), The NUS in Singapore (Professor Jörg Rekittke), The UI in Depok ( Professor Herlily) and the IPB in Bogor (Professor Hadi). The goal of this workshop is to look at the present landscape and urban situation in Kampung Melayu and develop a set of alternative proposals that take into account flood risks together with urban and landscape potentials. We welcome the 6 IPB students that you have selected. The workshop will be organized in 2 parts the first part will be in Jakarta and will last 4 days it will start on the evening of March 15th and will conclude with a review on Tuesday morning March 19th in the Harris Hotel Tebet Jakarta followed by a lunch. We would also be glad to invite Dean Rustadi to this review if he is available on that morning. The workshop will then continue in Singapore from the evening of March 19th to March 22nd. The final review will take place on the afternoon of March 22nd. at the Singapore ETH center (SEC) in the Create building. Jakarta Workshop: The goal of the Jakarta workshop is to do some site reconnaissance in small groups of students in Kampung Melayu, Bukit Duri and Kampung Pulo and then to meet together each afternoon in the hotel to brainstorm ideas about possible improvements and change. Participating in the workshop there will be 22 students from the ETH in Swit-zerland, 9 Students from NUS in Singapore, 10 Students from UI in Depok and 6 stu-dents from IPB. We will break-up the students into 9 or 10 small groups of mixed nationalities. -Friday March 15th afternoon arrival of the students from Switzerland and Singapore at: Aston at Kuningan Suites Hotel Jl.

INTRODUCTION

THE KAmPUNG AND THE CILIWUNG RIVER

The Design Research Studio on the Ciliwung River in Jakarta is part of the ETH Future Cities Laboratory in Singapore and will involve architecture students for one semester on one of the most challenging sites in Jakarta: the Kampung Melayu. During the course of the semester one workshop will be taught in March jointly with NUS, UI and IPB students in Jakarta and Singapore. The operational framework and methodology of the studio will involve landscape, architecture as well as urban design thinking and will follow the precepts of a site-specific topological approach. Emphasis of the design work will be on the role of landscape and dwelling structures as they interact with the adjacent river in the flood prone neighbourhoods of Kampung Melayu and Bukit Duri in Jakarta. Can the widening of the Ciliwung river corridor become an incentive to doubling the population density in the remainder of the kampong? This would avoid the problem of population displacement, but would require a clear strategy in terms of landscape and architecture. The studio will operate at three distinct scales, the scale of the unit, the scale of the urban block and the scale of the kampung. Students will be asked to develop prototypes on given cross sections of the river to be widened. This will enable advanced design experimentation and transformation of the sections under study. The goal of this studio, with the help of design tools is to develop methodologies capable of dealing with the physical and spatial complexity of this highly urbanized “natural” environment. The underlying thesis is that landscape and architecture can be worked-out together, to bring forth solutions that can help restore the quality and purpose of the river withinits degraded context while allowing for higher living densities. With a healthy dose of heuristic terrain analysis, prospection and design vision, students will be asked to develop a new positive foothold on the landscape and architectural challenges posed by the Ciliwung River. The studio results will serve as example towards a new combined approach to urban landscape and architecture in Southeast Asian cities. The goal is to set some clear topological rules that can help define generative principles for both landscape and architecture as a way of restructuring urban river profiles in response to flooding, overcrowding and insalubrious conditions. The studio will result in a set of comprehensive architectural and landscape design proposals that will serve towards the melioration of rivers in Jakarta.

OBJECTIVES

FIELD TRIP To JAKARTA AND SINGAPoREsite reading, architecture, landscape and urban design - developing a design hypothesis

Students will develop a preliminary design hypothesis over the course of their field trip. The goal is to confirm or question certain architectural and landscape design ideas that appeared in phase 1. The proposed hypothesis must work at all 3 scales combined and needs to define a clear spatial and developmental organization for the kampung and its relationship to the city and river.During the field trip and workshop, students will come together with students of the MLA programme at NUS, students of Architecture at U.I. Depok and students of landscape architecture at IPB Bogor. They will be asked together to think about the unit, the block and the overall river landscape site, to determine a clear spatial hierarchy between them. The main question will be how to “invert” the relationship of the kampung to the river? The inversion of the status of the river from garbage disposer and cloaca to that of landscape riverfront will become a key element to the solution of the block, its common public spaces and units. It is, therefore, important that students constantly work their ideas through at different scales and imagine how some of these ideas may translate from the housing scale to the entire river scale. During the field trip students will be asked to concentrate their design on specific sections of Kanpung Melayu, Bukit Duri and Kampung Pulo.

Each student group during the workshop will be asked to present a clear design statement and formulate a future vision on: - The Kampung unit and its combinatory potential - The Kampung block and its specific answer to river edge conditions - Widening of the river with volume shifting and carving - Water collection systems (wadoks and cisterns) - Flood risks and levels - The new edge condition between River Park and City - Landscape vegetation strategies, such as urban forestry, habitat and urban farming

All these aspects are to be addressed by the kampong design project: - Water types, systems and surfaces - Vegetation, types, design and structures - Spatial qualities and ambiances - Urban uses and program - Architectural edges (water/land, open/built) - Maintenance and recycling(control/freedom) - Accessibility and circulation(facilities/restrictions)
