PW (PatchWork) Market: Shopping comfortably with discomfort
by I Gusti Lanang Satwika Dananjaya
Corona Virus Disease 2019 pandemic, also known as COVID-19 Pandemic has ‘terrorized’ the whole world for more than a year. Time goes on, and there’s almost no end for Pandemic as of now. In Bali, as the situation not getting any better as time goes on, the various problem comes to the surface, one of them that people started to feel bored by staying at home for too long. As a result, people started to reluctantly accept this condition and act normally much like in pre-pandemic times, such as going to the mall, restaurant, and other public spaces. This behaviour started normally; health protocol and various mitigation strategies are conducted in public spaces. However, as most people started to feel normal, they tend to disobey the said protocols — neglectful of the fact that the possibility of COVID-19 infection is still high.
In response to this condition, the architectural design should be ‘mobile’ and can adapt easily to the changes of behaviour of the potentially-infected users, while at the same time, fulfilling the needs of people around it, regardless of the time. PW (abbreviation of PatchWork) Market is designed as a local market-lounge hybrid commercial spaces to accommodate the needs of dwellers in Canggu, Bali who like to hang out, shop, and play at the same time regardless of time, even in the pandemic. The objective is design is to create a place that is safe, clean, and pandemic-responsive for anyone to hang out in, as well as relieving stress from staying at home for too long.
The rise of post-pandemic restaurant for car
by Muhammad Habib Al-Fakhri
Changes in the various elements of life are absolutely necessary during a pandemic like now. changes were made to suit the needs and recommended security, the architecture did not escape the impact of the pandemic
The proposed design responds to speculation, what if a failed vaccine scenario will actually make the air even more filled with Covid? what if the house and the car were the only safe places? what if we design an extreme adaptive architecture?
The design uses a pragmatic method and a placemaking approach to produce innovative public place designs accompanied by new interpretations of building access.
Casa Tobago Mobile Gym Clubhouse
by Ahmad Ali Khatami Syam
As a result of Covid-19 virus, many facilities have been closed. This pandemic has also lowered people’s enthusiasm for adopting good sports habits, even though clubhouse managers have implemented various virus control measures. The benefits of regular exercise can clearly prevent depression and improve physical health, and staying fit may be a way to avoid cases of Covid-19. But exercising in a fitness facility is also very risky as many people move around in closed rooms with air conditioning, share equipment and air, and breathing heavily can be a doorway for the spread of the virus.
This design focuses on 2 stages: Now — How are the current conditions changing the pattern of human life with increasingly difficult access to entertainment and sports facilities (clubhouses) during a pandemic? How is the public space configured in an effort to stop the spread of the Covid-19 virus? Future — What if a vaccine has not been invented or how effective it is in breaking the chain of spread of the virus so that reallocation of public spaces where distance is considered is still the main consideration in reducing human contact? Can we create more flexibility into the design of this post-pandemic public space? It is possible that Covid-19 is not the only pandemic that has occurred, are you ready for this design in the face of another pandemic?
The Pods: Royal Residence Playground
by Carissa Cahyani Pratiwi
What If Kids Had An Infection-free Playground? When the pandemic began, one by one public facility was closed to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus. In the context of housing, there are several public facilities such as a children’s playground. Even though, the need for children to play is quite important so as not to cause cabin fever and to help children to develop physically and emotionally. With the presence of COVID-19, children’s play spaces that seem free can become a place at high risk for the spread of this virus. Not only for children, but the greatest risk is for parents who have congenital diseases or age factors that make the body’s immune system weak.
This design tries to answer these problems by presenting an innovation in the children’s playground, where the designer wants to play with circulation and boundaries that can make the playground a safe place for children and parents. In this design, the approach taken is the child’s behavior, so that the resulting shape and spatial make the child move and interested in playing in the area provided, although physically playing is done individually but with features that make children able to feel playing with friends. From this picture, a hypothesis emerges in the design which is the main point of this concept, namely: how do children feel togetherness in solitude?
