PLASTIC CHAIR VERSATILITY AS AN APPROACH TO CONSTRUCT PASAR 1 BARU INFORMAL SPACE

Abstract

This paper investigates materiality as architecture manifestation in commercial informal space. The materiality approach in this paper revolves around the Manuel De Landa idea of material’s properties and capacity, which interact 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 process in 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 be studied 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 on interaction system between the physical material and the context.
