Craftmanship Within the History of Architecture in Indonesia. In the sixth edition of "ARCHINESIA Bookgazine" we explore what the Indonesian team of curators does in the 14th International Architecture Exhibition in Venice, Italy that is still going until November 16, 2014. In response to the biennale’s title, “Fundamentals”, with the theme pitched by Rem Koolhaas to all participants about “Absorbing Modernity: 1914-2014”, the Indonesian team presents a historical record of the influence of craftsmanship and materials in the course of modern Indonesian architecture. This perspective was not widely discussed, although given the region’s many similarities it would not be a surprise that craftsmanship and materials also play a significant role in other Southeast Asian countries besides Indonesia. It may be that the topic is a reflection of what is happening in cognate countries.

GOOD DESIGN IN ARCHITECTURE NOW. One of the most important quite dominant processes in architecture is design process, and the goal of architecture design is to obtain good design. Good design has double meaning, aesthetic and ethic. In architecture the two should be united as a single goal that a design process should strive for. Moreover, an architectural product does not only effect its client and architect. On a broader level, architectural products also effect their surrounding environments. In a large scale, they may even have an effect on the economy and the social and political condition. The question is : How does an architectural design attain the label ‘good design’? We tried to find the answer through a round table discussion by inviting the two groups of professionals in Indonesia: practitioners and academics. What are their thought on this matter ? You can peruse them in the main coverage of Archinesia vol.5.

CITY, PEOPLE and ARCHITECTURE No matter hom impressive or iconic building or tall skyscraperis upon the skyline of a city, these buildings are concieved with people as their users. Yet the question is, for which layer of citizenship do they serve ? Have the stakeholder of the built environment give adequte attention towards the lives of those in between the cities’ sprawl of structures ? The topic of Archinesia vol.10 is “City, People and Architecture”, in which we try to reassess the position of architectural projects apart from being iconic attractors in the cityscapes. We ought to examine the role of architects in the ever-crucial process of creation within an increasingly populous contect. Without understanding how architects impact people, the profession will fatally disconnect itself from society.

Hotels and resorts are not an easy building to design. The relationships of hotels and the city are also an important notion of landmark within cities.
