About Discussions Projects45 Journals13 Competitions3

Indonesian architecture responds to a tropical climate, dense island geography, and rising sea levels. Designers working here address ventilation, shading, material choice, and the relationship between built form and landscape. Local building traditions and contemporary practice both inform the work.

Community projects on this topic include tropical houses in Bali, Jakarta, and Sukabumi, along with speculative floating city proposals and adaptive dwelling studies. Together they examine how housing and urban settlement can adapt to water, heat, and changing coastal conditions.

First, the triangular roof extended to the surface of the ocean, and then the roof extended to create platforms inside and outside the building. Thanks to this change in the traditional form of the Bajau house, the building has been able to be floated.

Motion Onions

Housing estate that adjusts to the surrounding context. It is completely independent of the land, therefore it can adapt to the changes occuring in the coastline. The only permanent elements of the estate are bulwarks, which is also used as a breakwater. Each housing unit is situated on a frame with a float, which is an integral part of the 3D farm system.
