Project idea

Identified Issues :
Start from the issues according to Indonesia's national disaster agency, there were 328,724 hectares of forest and land burnt this year from January to August alone. Then took some news for the sample- 3 news for each year from 2017 till 2020. According to these issues, this project took the "ecosystem stability" for the design theme and "ecological sustainability" for the main theme. Then, it made the brainstorming ideas and 3 terms; a resistant and resilience ecosystem (from the design theme) and 'ecocentric' system for the third terms from the main theme.

Architectural Solution :
By combining these terms of ideas, the aim of this project is to conserve a forest and build a connection between the nature and communal. Instead of just give the people some education to take care of the environment, this project want to give some physical move for the environment and give some economical benefit too with took the empathy response from the users ; so the solution to reach these aims is build the Ecological Sustainability Park.

Project description

Location : Djawatan Forest, Banyuwangi - East Java, Indonesia
This project based on green tourism which means we can build something to make a better landscape instead of ruin the original forest. We took a survey on the spot to know which part of the forest that can be built. Then we've been searching for the massing concept. It's according to the activities that we've made for the users. So there are main activities :
1. Give the information and education for the users about the environment
2. Cultivation for the hydroponic
3. Research for the forest needs
4. Process the waste that come from our own project
5. Conserve the forest

So there are :
1. Education center
2. Dome of the plants
3. Research center
4. Waste Process Center
5. Forest Conservation Area

To took the empathy of the users for the environment, we will give a Interactive spiritual and nature room in the education center. This room will have only a void that make this room being so dark and the natural lighting comes from the void as if it's a God rays so that connecting between nature- God - and people. This would make us be grateful to our God.
