Installation driven by empathy eliminates material redundancy.
What if an installation could transcend its role as a mere showcase to find a second life rooted in inclusivity?
Design inverted the conventional thinking process. Rather than starting with a temporary installation, we began by conceptualizing an inclusive prayer hall. We then reconfigured this core idea, constructing a zero-waste installation along the way.
Architectural displays should not exist for purely hedonistic purposes. Instead, they must act as catalysts-ones that inspire practitioners and academics alike to demonstrate sustainability in pragmatic, tangible ways.
We were honored to collaborate on Tatalogam's booth at ARCH:ID 2026 .id.indonesia Driven by the brand's material innovation, the pavilion explores how steel can be transformed into a dynamic and highly inclusive environment.
Positioned directly in front of the alun-alun, the pavilion deliberately adopts an attitude of humility. Its façade acts as a civic stage, offering public seating while extending the visual axis toward the space beyond.
Rather than isolating itself, the architecture frames and amplifies the life of the public realm. Pushing the boundaries of steel's flexibility, the inclusive roofscape emerges as the project's central statement. The structure simultaneously acts as floor, roof, and façade-functioning as shelter, circulation, and a piece of contemporary artwork in one continuous gesture.
