Among multiple new settlement types having emerged in the last century, the Indonesian variant of desakota is one of the most intriguing. It is an unplanned development happening in the landscape surrounding cities mostly in Asia, a mixture of agricultural and urban landscape with the potential of becoming highly sustainable, but likely to become the opposite. Krill office for resilient Cities and architecture has been studying the desakota south of Yogyakarta, Indonesia, for a longer period of time and invited four other architecture studios, as well as experts of four universities to help create a vision on future development. Without new tools for development these areas are bound to disappear.
Proto Tamansari aims to create new planning tools and therefore relies on a new method, combining architects with scientific researchers, using the insiders perspective of Indonesian professionals as well as the outsiders perspective of European professionals. The distinctive challenges of this specific area, as well as the general desakota challenges, has lead to the identification of five themes that needed addressing first: restricted mobility infrastructure, resilient agriculture, green realm, water and flood resilience, and village economy.
Concept and initiative of Proto Tamansari by Harmen van de Wal-Krill Office for Resilient Cities and Architecture.
Proto Tamansari is supported through funds from the Creative Industries Funds, and the EFL-Van Eesteren fund.
