RE-interpretation of Tropical Architecture


One tends to relate tropical architecture as traditional and conservative design. However in the design for the Surabaya Riverwalk, I attempted to reinterprete it in a de-constructive manner, by giving the traditional kampung house on stilts new look, with the use of innovative sun-shading devices. It adds interest along the riverwalk with different use of local materials, as well as kioks to create nodes along the promenade.
