ARCHIFEST 2019 | Indonesian Architecture at the Crossroad of Making: A Roundtable Discussion

Description

Making in Indonesian architecture is synonymous with traditional crafts and associated with words like handmade, slow-made and artisanal – terms that are the seeming opposite of what modernity requires: efficiency, digitization, and mass-scaling.

How do architects respond and wrestle with the tension between the two? Is there a happy middle ground, and if so, what does that
look like?

This roundtable discussion aims to discuss these questions and cast light on the creative tensions involved in craft-making with emerging Indonesian makers and architects.
