Generating A New Typology Of An Urban Village

The urgent need to rethink the current living conditions in the urban villages of Bandung was established by a desire to regain self-empowerment through creative urban design intervention. Contextual analysis was thoroughly conducted to understand the urban grain of these places. Since the beginning of its establishment, the villages have undergone significant transformations from the basic dwelling spaces to the complex interlocking units of the existing typologies. The proposed pixilated modules are the key in improving the quality of life here as the demand for spaces become a major commodity to population implosion within the city's boundary. As Bandung is set to be a major tourist destination in Asia, the Pixel Village will be a new brand of indigenous living symbolizing an era of uniqueness and rarity through reformation of the public realm and private domains of the city. As the Pixel Village matures, the dwellers will attain self-sufficiency through shared community spirit and aspirations.
