Bagi pecinta kereta api, mengumpulkan dan mengoleksi segala sesuai hal yang berbentuk kereta api tentu menjadi kepuasan tersendiri. Mulai dari replika berbagai jenis kereta api sampai dengan menelusuri jalur-jalur kereta api.
Di masa sekarang ini dimana semua berbentuk digital maka koleksi-koleksi tersebut dengan sangat mudah bisa dipamerkan melalui media sosial. Akun instagram @keretadeli sejak 2 tahun terakhir telah mewarnai instagram dengan sejarah dan gambar-gambar perkembangan kereta api di Pantai Timur Sumatra.
Kereta api di Pantai Timur Sumatra lahir, berkembang untuk mendukung industri perkebunan. Tanpa perkebunan, belum tentu sabuk besi hadir di Tanah Deli.
Tahun 1869 Nienhuys mendirikan NV Deli Maatschappij. Kereta api pun menjadi salah satu infrastruktur transportasi utama pertama di Sumatra Timur diikuti dengan bangunan-bangunan kantor, salah satunya gedung kantor NV Deli Maatschappij yang didesain oleh Thomas Karsten di Medan.
Sebelum dilarang mudik lebaran, hari Sabtu ini kita naik kereta api dulu sambil menunggu berbuka puasa, kemana tujuan kita? ke Tanah Deli.. Tut tut tuut…

Le Corbusier's Ghetto (and how the Dutch deal with it)

Last night I took a part in an online discussion for television and live stream programs with the representatives of the Municipality of Amsterdam and the Housing Corporation Rochdale about living in Amsterdam Southeast. It was organized by the New Metropolis Zuidoost, a branch of Pakhuis de Zwijger, a think tank for urban and sustainability issues.  I had to be bold in five minutes that I had during the broadcasting. So what I said is that Amsterdam Southeast was built based on the ideals of Le Corbusier, the Swiss architect, that everyone no matter from which background has the right to light, air, and space. He dreamed of urban development that separated work, living, recreation, and various modes of mobility. This ideal was applied in Amsterdam Zuidoost in the 1960s to be the largest experiment ever in the world in terms of scale and innovations. The experiment was lead by Cornelis van Eesteren, the pioneer of modern architecture in the Netherlands. The reality showed that some...

INFILL DEVELOPMENT

Perpaduan antara bangunan lama dan baru selalu menarik perhatian saya karena saya percaya pelestarian pusaka (heritage conservation) haruslah aktual dan menjawab kebutuhan zaman. Jadi tidak semata-mata dan sama sekali bukan untuk nostalgia. Jika memang niat ada banyak cara untuk mempertahankan bangunan lama dan mengkombinasikannya dengan bangunan baru. Dengan cara ini pelestarian pusaka dan pembangunan baru secara simultan terakomodasi. Solusi seperti ini umumnya disebut Infill Development . Definisinya menurut BUILD, is the economic use of vacant land, or restoration or rehabilitation of existing structures or infrastructure, in already urbanized areas where water, sewer, and other public services are in place, that maintains the continuity of the original community fabric. Solusi Infill Development juga berdasar pada semakin meningkatnya kesadaran tentang pembangunan berkelanjutan dan pelestarian lingkungan hidup. Pendekatan Infill adalah tanggapan terhadap kebijakan pemerintahan ...

REFLECTION ON 2023

Bandung, October 2023 The end of 2023 gets closer.  I am thankful for the health, safety, and opportunities that I have this year.  The year started with good walks to the countryside of Austria. I had to thank my Austrian friends who introduced me to the beauty of nature, the farming life, and also the rich culture of a big city like Vienna. I fell in love with the philosophy of the architect  Friedensreich Hundertwasser: inspired by and back to nature.  In the spring, I had to thank my senior, Donovan Rypkema,  who introduced me to his heritage networks and works around Washington DC. I learned a lot about revitalization of the historical districts of the city.   I continued my journey with the train adventures following the history of the Dutch along the Hudson River until the border of  Canada. The experience with WWOOF USA impressed me. I think I will do it again, in another country next year. Staying in new surroundings with new people deli...
