"Journey", Andra Matin Architects installation at CP Biennale 2005 [Exhibition Project for Andra Matin Architect, 2005]

The project led by Andra Matin Architect was exhibited at CP Biennale 2005: "urban/culture" held by CP Foundation (http://www.cp-foundation.org/) at the Bank Indonesia Museum in Kota, Jakarta from September 5, 2005 to October 5, 2005. This second CP Biennale has been designed to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Republic of Indonesia and the 50th anniversary of the Asia-Africa Conference.

The curation of CP Biennale II, 2005 is meant to provide a clearer look at the social function of art, particularly in Indonesia. The Theme Urban/Culturesets forth a variety of issues: development and progress, social problems, economics and politics, as well as the matter of history. A seminar with the theme "Urban Reflection", which was held on September 6, during the CP Biennale II, 2005, deal specifically with the various dimensions of the problems facing urban communities.

project #1: Gedong Panjang and Pluit Interchange under-toll road settlement
Ever since roadways in Jakarta multiply in dimension, I believe we need to start thinking about new spaces emerging around it. The team focused on studying the spatial typology of spaces beneath the flyover and came out with creative and realistic solutions.



Two sections of the flyover that circles around Jakarta have been chosen: Gedong Panjang and Pluit Interchange.



Each space has unique characters that clearly differentiate its core problems with one another.



Together, the problems will envisage the diverse problems that surfaced along with the development of flyovers in a developing metropolis like Jakarta.




project #2: Blok M - Taman Puring (Puring Park) strip
The ideas for the project emerged from an interesting phenomenon about spatial experience that will be seen if we can further explore our walk from Blok M through Taman Puring. There is a vivid differentiation of economic levels and an abundance of spatial experiences between Blok M area and Mayestik if we seriously develop the analysis from the walk.



There is an enormous potential of roadside street vendors. The secondhand electronic market, bird market, fruit market, flower market, fish market, food-stalls, and the two lush parks will form a coagulation whose presence, when unmasked from the roadside vendors lining up around them, will be felt more significantly by the people living around that area.
