Abstract
This paper investigates materiality as architecture manifestation in commercial informal space. The materialityapproach in this paper revolves around the Manuel De Landa idea of material’s properties and capacity, whichinteract to each other to create unlimited possibilities. This cycle of interaction is what Manuel DeLanda called as morphogenic power of its own. Understanding material system and existing context are two essential processin order to produce a responsive design in this random, unpredictable pattern of informal space, which in this paper, the context that will be specifically studied is Pasar Baru. In the further study, the material which will bestudied along with Pasar Baru context is the versatile usage of plastic chair. This paper will investigate materiality approach as a relevant method to create a contextual design, as this approach will be highly based oninteraction system between the physical material and the context.
Highlights
In this paper I would like to discuss about materiality in informal space
As we discuss earlier that material works as a mediator, we must carefully pay attention to the objects that construct the informal space, as the materiality of these objects will determine the interaction with the context
We can see that certain material will have a specific materiality that only happen and work on specific site context
Summary
In this paper I would like to discuss about materiality in informal space. The informal space I would like to discuss here is the commercial one. Back to the existing context, the location I would to discuss in this paper is Pasar Baru, the main street where the main commercial activities are. This informal space at Pasar Baru and its potential, will be the basis of the design, along with the materiality approach.
