AUB #52 by Andre Pradiktha


Kemarin (8/8), saya sempat berbicara di acara AUB (architects under big three) yang diselenggarakan oleh popo danes architect. AUB kali ini sudah tahun ke empat dan berseri aub #52. Pada kesempatan itu saya berbicara tentang arsitektur, dengan tema architecture under new wave yang, bercerita tentang kemungkinan dan apa yang akan terjadi pada arsitektur di masa depan, saya juga menjabarkan kronologi kehidupan manusia mulai dari zaman purba hingga sekarang yang merepresentasikan ide saya tentang esensi arsitektur. saat acara berlangsung beberapa teman dari firma-firma arsitektur di Bali datang, termasuk teman-teman di popo danes, selain itu ada juga mahasiswa arsitektur udayana yang hadir dari berbagai angkatan, namun dengan topik ini acara tidak terlalu ramai, mungkin saya kurang gencar dalam mempromosikan acara ini. Beberapa pertanyaan dan tanggapan yang dilayangkan ternyata memancing diskusi yang terjadi setelah acara berlangsung. Kiranya teman-teman saya over-estimate tentang topik yang saya usung akan membicarakan hal-hal mengenai desain secara spesifik, maupun dunia keprofesionalan yang mungkin dijalani di masa depan. ternyata saya hanya memberikan gambaran maupun inspirasi tentang perjalanan arsitektur dan teknologi masa depan. Hal ini memang saya sengaja tampilkan untuk memancing pertanyaan dan sebenarnya untuk menarik minat lebih banyak orang untuk datang, namun hal ini pun tidak berhasil pada kenyataannya. Seperti halnya pada film box office, trailer-nya akan lebih terlihat keren dari pada film aslinya, mungkin itu juga yang sebenarnya terjadi pada acara kali ini. Terlepas dari hal itu sebenarnya topik yang luas yang saya bicarakan kala itu justru mendorong hadirin untuk berpikir dan intropeksi tentang kehadiran arsitektur dari masa ke masa, khususnya bangunan di kehidupan kita, bagaimana sebenarnya arti asli arsitektur, kenapa kita terpaut dengannya, kenapa arsitektur berkembang, dan dunia politik di bumi yang memengaruhinya, semuanya saya jabarkan dengan luas dengan tujuan membuka cakrawala teman-teman saya seluasnya, supaya mereka tidak berpikiran tentang kerja saja secara sempit, namun bagaimana mengaktualisasi ide, bagaimana mereka dapat berkarya dengan sepenuhnya sembari bekerja sebagai arsitek. intinya saya memberikan bocoran tentang masa depan yang saya ketahui kepada mereka, meskipun mungkin mereka sudah tahu, namun saya berusaha menghimpun dan menjadikannya narasi dari pandangan saya.
Panitia juga bertanya kepada saya tentang tantangan sebagai arsitek di masa depan, khususnya di Bali yang semakin lama semakin sulit dan banyaknya pesaing yang masuk karena demand/permintaan properti di Bali yang meningkat tahun-tahun belakangan. Mereka juga bertanya dan menanggapi tentang asean MRA, dan AFTA yang berlaku 2015 dan dampaknya kepada keprofesian arsitek. Pada akhirnya saat itu adik-adik mahasiswa yang datang akhirnya terpapar pada radiasi kelam dunia keprofesian arsitek yang semestinya tidak perlu mereka ketahui dan pikirkan dimasa mereka bereksplorasi di bangku kuliah, pada saat itu semuanya akhirnya bisa sharing dan saling belajar.

Lately (8/8), i was talking at Architects Under Big Three (AUB) held by popo danes architect in Bali. In the time i was discussing about architecture in the theme of architecture under new wave, which explain about future possibilities of architecture, also i mentioned about historical chronology about the human lifetime with their culture and building architecture in the essence. Some friends from other firms in Bali also coming, with architects working in popo danes, and students of udayana university. However in this occasion, there aren't enough crowd visiting my presentation, probably it is my mistake that i haven't get enough promotion about the activity. Some questions are quite interesting come from my fellows, in fact my friends are over estimating about the topic i presented that time, they thought about something specific about my design ideas and professional experience, the reality i only gave them pictures, and inspiration of what the topic might directed in general. This moment is quite similar to box offices trailers, which you need only to see them to know the entire coolness of a film, possibly. Along side with that situation, my intention was only to ignite their paradigm of late architecture and to  expand their knowledge, which probably they have already know, yet in this case at least i can tell them in my point of view, based on my narrative-descriptive presentation.
The organizer of AUB also try to give my question and comments about the topics, some of them point about the future profession proofing in Bali, that is harder time to time. They also commented on ASEAN MRA and AFTA plan and its impact to architecture field. In the mean time, students who were also hear the presentation and discussion also exposed to this 'kind' matter which is might be improper to their time being to study, however all the participants including me have a well-shared information an discussion at that night.

South Bali Development

this video present six core developments to alter the rapid development of south Bali mainly in tourism that is not sustainable to public facilities development that's collective funded rather than from sole sectors (private or government). the development would be sustainable because increased order of balance from the new core development to existing tourism development. in easy word, these development would facilitate the near-limit tourism development in south Bali.

Ekspansi Bandara Internasional Ngurah Rai Denpasar (WADD)

Pesatnya perkembangan Bali Selatan telah mendorong batas puncak fasilitas transportasi udara seperti bandara. Pada tahun 2010, pemerintah Bali memperluas bandara untuk memiliki terminal yang lebih besar, termasuk terminal internasional baru 65000 meter persegi . Seperti tahun lalu , keramaian dan hiruk pikuk Ngurah Rai International Airport Bali didorong lagi hingga batas kapasitas akhirnya , yang memaksa pemerintah untuk memilih untuk mengembangkan bandara baru ini untuk membagi trafik udara yang padat . Bandara baru yang direncanakan di Bali utara pada tahun 2013 . hasil yang diharapkan adalah untuk mempercepat pembangunan Bali secara keseluruhan , bukan hanya di wilayah selatan. Tapi ketika tuntutan transportasi udara terus naik , hal memberikan pilihan yang sangat terbatas solusi apakah akan dibangun bandara internasional besar lain , atau menemukan konsep baru perluasan bandara sebelumnya.
Pertanyaan pertama adalah bagaimana mengakomodasi aliran lebih besar dari jumlah pesawat dengan melayani lebih parkir , dan lebih landasan pacu untuk mendarat . Dengan demikian perpanjangan ini konsep masa depan Bandara Internasional Ngurah Rai akan menambah runway sepanjang 4000m lain mampu mengambil pesawat seperti A380 atau dua pesawat kecil yang bisa tinggal landas dalam waktu bersamaan. runway baru ini akan lebih baik untuk dibangun di lepas pantai tidak dengan reklamasi pulau pasir , melainkan menciptakan platform struktur baja buatan manusia yang tidak bisa menghalangi gelombang yang bisa merusak pantai dekat Kuta dan teluk Jimbaran . Struktur baja ini ditanamkan ke dasar laut dan kemudian terumbu karang bisa muncul antara celah struktur baja .Setelah perluasan landasan pacu selesai , ekspansi berikutnya akan menjadi terminal ketiga di bagian selatan dari perimeter bandara . Ukuran terminal kira-kira 40000 meter persegi dan mampu menangani penerbangan baik internasional ( pindahan ) maupun domestik.

The rapid development of South Bali has pushed the boundaries of public transportation such as airport to their limit capacity. In 2010, Bali government expand the airport to have bigger terminals, including new 65000 sqm international terminal. As the year past, hustle and bustle of the Ngurah Rai International Airport Bali is being pushed again to the limit of thr capacity, that it force the government to opt for developing a new airport to divide these dense air traffics. The new airport was planed to be in Northern Bali in 2013. the intented result should be to accelerate the Bali development as a whole, not just its southern region. But when the demands of air transportation continued to rise, then it gives very limited choice of solution whether to built another big international airport, or to find a new concept of the expansion of the prior airport. The 
first question is how to accomodate bigger flow of airplanes quantity by serving more parking, and more runways to land. Thus this extension future concept of Ngurah Rai International Airport would be adding another 4000m runway capable of take up like a double decker a380 or two smaller planes that could take-off linearly in a time. This new runway would be best to build off coast not by reclaiming island of sand, but rather creating platform of man made steel structure that could not obstruct waves that could tear up nearby Kuta beach and Jimbaran bay. These steel structures are implanted to the sea bed and then the coral reef could spring up between the rift of steel structure. After the runway expansion finished, the next expansion would be the third terminal in the south part of the airport perimeter. The size of the terminal is approximately equal to 40000 sqm and capable to handle both international (transit) and domestic flights.

Bali Future Smart Solar Power Plant





Bali to built the idea of smart offshore solar power plant to fulfill local electricity neccesity. The hundreds of hybrid reflectors equiped with thermal converter and the reflector layer itself to produce power from the sun. The 'LDR' detect sun path and light intensity, thus the reflectors act like plants which looking for sunlight. Capability of moving in certain angular directions makes these reflectors work very efficienly either to catch power or reflect sunlight to the center light-power harvester. The intention to build this power plant in offshore to get the ideal place where land couldn't offer. The such requirements of site size of 630.000sqm with gigantic pieces of mechanics, the no habitable zone buffer perimeter and the ease of moving the structure onto another water surface are all the reasoning of such an idea to be built upon the future era when clean energy are common and affordable to such region like Bali. If we assume the plant produce 1 MWpeak per are per day. The approximately total electricity that could be produced for a day is 6300 MWp or 6,3 GWp, this should be enough to light up entire Denpasar city area in one night. at last the electricity needs of Southern Bali could be fulfilled entirely. The plant could be added progressively on Bali inter island open water such as straits, bays, and lakes, and in the future the innovation could be endless with the possibilities of different concept of solar power. The power plant also act as weather control and monitoring, lighting catcher, and provide marine biodiversity beneath it. The solar power plant also only produce 'UV' radiation and no hazardous radiation such in nuclear or pollution in petrol based power plant. This is ultimately produce clean electricity same as the water based power plant (waterfall, wave, and geothermal/steam). The power output transmitted via above sea water cable pipes transmission and magnetic induction, all would be adjusted with the future technology to come.

The New Apple Gallery in Bali

I design the first spectacular apple gallery in the far east part of the earth. Inspired by the Apple campus in California, the cube design is mimicry of high efficiency design of the new mac pro that offer sophisticated inside hardware as well exclusivity from the outside. The Gallery consisting of apple store, sits on a very tiny footprint, this is an example of environment responsible application, where the building open only nearly eight meters in diameter. The rest of the building sunken into the ground where the hill shape landscape shaped by gallery space beneath it. The exterior is very non-destructive to the environment, means low profile. also it open possibility of large area of green space as hardscape only for parking. The connection between exterior and interior is by a continuous ramp from the entry to the gallery. Interior concept is designed as simple as possible to fit with apple tradition. With white glossy finish dominant, the interior feel very techy and futuristic. The Apple Gallery building is three stories in height, two sunken basement and one above the ground. The lowest level is for storage and the management office.
