JKT / Chinatown

Image
I remember strolling around Glodok, Asemka, Beos, and Pasar Pagi as parts of Jakarta Chinatown a month ago. This could be my happiest site- surveying ever.

If I can say view words to describe this area, I would choose, organic, multicultural, claustrophobic and above all, warmest part of the city. Shoutout to every kind people I made acquaintance, to every people struggling and smiling for better days they've been wanting to see. for never give up hope.

It was hideously dificult to find his full album, but lucky for me, I found his first shoegaze album, called 美化 (Bika). This one is my favorite, titled 17 in english And next, I have Shugo Tokumaru, a singer son...

Not a Bilbao Effect; A Babel Effect

Talking about architecture nowadays from the perspective of an undergraduate college girl who happens to had read some of the books about contemporary architecture. Contemporer architecture itself had long lists down to the meaning but we can safely call it broadly as an architecture of the present day. I'm surfing on the internet, strolling around libraries and bookstore for collect data for my final task. I was taking a look at built and or conceptual building nowadays and subjectively think they're sort of had a Babel Effect in them.

They wanted to build a tower so high it touch the sky, so high it meet their creator, God. They wanted to build a highest tower ever made by the mankind. They picture as a united and smart civilization but unfortunately arrogant. Long story short, in...
