GO LOCAL!

-

There is a positive movement in Indonesia for at least two decades. It is a movement to dig tangible and intangible localities: from local materials, local agriculture, to local traditions in a broad sense.

Fithrorozi Belitong is one of the leading actors in the locality movement. He has been reviving and keeping the local language of Belitung alive. He writes books, organizes a youth group, and publishes e-flyers to raise awareness of identity through local language and literature. Indonesia needs more of Fithrorozi’s.
The webinar is in Bahasa Indonesia.

Fithrorozi adalah penulis kolom budaya, sekaligus pendiri komunitas penggiat literasi Komunitas Telinsong Budaya di Belitung.
Konsentrasinya adalah identifikasi dan pengembangan nilai lokalitas serta pengkajian kebudayaan. Karyanya berupa enam buku, karya teater, dan kegiatan pengembangan literasi Sekolah Alam Republik Kelekak.
Fithrorozi akan mengupas bagaimana kita menggali pengetahuan melalui tutur orang tua untuk mengenalkan sejarah budaya.
Contohnya adalah sejarah dan asal mula Pulau Sumatra yang diilhami oleh istilah ‘akar bahar’.
Kata ‘bahar’ ditemukan di banyak rupa dari akar, timbangan, budaya, hingga kata petunjuk masa. Jaman barik, kakek mendapatkan ongkos ke haji dari siro dengan menumpang kapal berbulan-bulan lamanya. Tutur kakek kemudian dituliskan cucunya. Sang cucu mentransformasikan jejak teraga ke dalam warisan tak teraga berupa aksara. Dari aksara sang cucu paham bahwa Ibnu Batutah menyebut samudera dengan ‘Samatrah’ dalam kitab Rihlah Ilal Masyriq, yang kemudian menjadi Sumatra.
Dari bahar lalu ke bandar. Bandar Sri Begawan digiring sejarah hingga sampai ke Darussalam. Ada jejak lintasan samudera yang ia pelajari. Jaringan warisan sejarah Sumatra teryata ada di masa bahari yakni sejak Nusantara memasok rempah dari Tanah Barus ke Timur Tengah.

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...
