2011 - 2014

HELLO!

I graduated from Oxford Brookes University this year, major-ing in City and Regional Planning. I have a proficient skill set, passion for design, architecture and photography, and the desire to gain experience through a collaborative, innovative, studio environment.

Throughout the course I developed further interests in Urban Design and heritage conservation; whic is the topic of my final year research study. The research was done on the Urban De-sign values of Indonesian traditional urban settlements, and how they are related to or influence community well-being.

I am hoping to continue my study to a higher level to fur-ther develop my skills and understanding in Urban Design and masterplanning. The purpose of this portfolio is to show my previous planning and urban design related works, and to showcase design skills including graphic design, sketch, mod-elling, and rendering.

The course provides a flexible pattern of education and training, enabling me to match my individual interests and specific career intentions with the requirements of the planning profession. The course covers the range of knowledge and skills needed by plan-ners, both in Britain and the rest of the world. I have also devel-oped an understanding of environment, community, design and commercial approaches. I had then chosen at the beginning of my second year to specialise in urban design and urban regen-eration.

Throughout the course I developed understanding and prob-lem-solving skills in areas which are fundamental to the envi-ronment, design and development of cities. The course also in-troduced me to a variety of subjects which prepared me for a degree-level course.

Worked with a team to produce sets of Design Codes for the city’s districts. A Design Code a docu-ment that sets rules for the design of a new devel-opment. It is a tool that can be used in the design and planning process, but goes further and is more regulatory than other forms of guidance commonly used in the planning system over recent decades. These codes are used for developments in the city’s historic districts and economically strategic areas.

PERSONALPROJECTThis first part of the portfolio shows my best self-initiated works over the past year. I enjoy working on urban design projects, the reason why I came up with these site-specific project briefs myself and work on them during my own free time.

I often consult the urban design lecturers at Oxford Brookes, in which they were happy to help and provide me with feed-backs for improvements.

Oxpens QuarterOxford, United Kingdom

Oxpens QuarterOxford, United Kingdom

The Oxpens site represents one of the most significant development opportunities within Oxford city centre. Located in the Oxford West End, close to the Railway Station, the University and the Westgate Shopping Centre which subject to major redevelopment plan itself. The site has potential to make a valuable contribution to the life and economy of the City through the delivery of new office space, a ho-tel, leisure facilities, dwellinghouses, local facilities and public open space.

This project was done during my free time at universi-ty. This project is purposefully created to showcase my understanding of place making and a good public realm.

Oxpens Quarter is a development consiting of office buildings, retail and shopping, a hotel, an art gallery, a business centre, and some student accommodation and housing. This development is located on the outside of the core centre of Oxford, in proximity to trhe river Thames as well as the train station.

The Oxpens Quarter is designed to have three main public squares located between the buildings, all lead-ing to the central civic square where the basin is locat-ed. Pedestrian connectivity has been put as priority in the design process, resulting in many aspects of the de-velopment from the layout of the site, the design and massing of the buildings,to the type of materials picked to ensure an attractive environment with good public spaces and high-quality design is delivered.

This is another project done during my free time at uni-versity. This project is intended to show my ability and understading the process of masterplanning.

Cowley Marsh is located on the busy Cowley Road, in the suburb of Oxford. This development utilises the un-developed greenfield land on the Cowley Road, and next to the recently-developed Reliance Way housing de-velopment and the 1930’s Marsh Road houses. On the northeast of the site there is a vast amount of protected green area, and some local community allotments and Florence Park on the southwest.

The development aims to connect the missing link be-tween the two housing developments however without creating disturbance to or breaking the existing green corridor (southwest - northeast axis).

Urban Design Guidelines for Jakarta’s Transit Oriented DevelopmentMRT Stations: Corridor One

2013

LocationType/ RoleBody

Jakarta | IndonesiaTeam work Jakarta Capital City GovernmentDepartment of Spatial PlanningStudy Centre for Urban Design

Jakarta is currently planning to build a mega infrastruc-ture which is the first Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) corridor to serve the city of 20 million people. In the summer of 2013 I served as an intern for the City’s Capital City Government, and was involved in the preparation of the project, mainly from the city and urban planning per-spectives.

I worked as part of a team under the supervision of my manager, to prepare a design code document or Urban Design Guidelines (UDGL) for areas adjacent to the MRT stations, intoducing the concept of Transport Oriented Development (TOD) into those areas. The document provides guidelines for aspects such as density, move-ments and netwoks, landscape, building massing and form, and in some areas to the extent of materials used and colour palletes to make sure a good public realm is achieved.

I worked with a team of 30 people, with different back-grounds such as architects, urban designers, city plan-ners, conservationists, and so on. My main role was to undertake research on the concepts of TOD, and pro-duce relating reports. I also undertook research on dif-ferent examples and case studies from different plac-es around the world, went out on site visits, attended all internal meetings and some inter city departments meetings,.

The MRT corridor stretches out from the core of Jakar-ta’s city centre to the suburb in the south of the city. The corridor is divided into five different sections, the CBD 1, CBD 2, Garden City, Southern Downtown, and the Gate-way; based on the characteristics of each sections.

Jakarta | IndonesiaTeam work Best House Propertyand Constructions

The Menteng Granit residence is a proposed gated com-munity in the suburb of Jakarta. During my time serv-ing as an intern, I was assigned to design a house for the housing development. The biggest challange here was the very limited amount of land available for de-velopment, the reason behind chossing to go for the terrace-style house; which is a very uncommon style of housing in Indonesia.

Redeveloping St. Clements Carpark2013


Oxford | United KingdomIndividualOxford Brookes University

Done as a part of the second year urban design mod-ule, I was given the task to develop a design code docu-ment for the St. Clements carpark site in Oxford. Deliv-ered and assessed in two stages, the first stage included series of site appraisals including the surroundings in order to determine the most appropriate design objec-tives for the site. Using the SWOT method for the site and further analysis of local strees and corners from the surrounding area, design objectives were outlined and carried forward to form the vision, including an initial site plan.

The second stage included the actual design code, which sets out the built form gudelines for future devel-opment of the site. This doccument includes a set of de-sign sheets revolving around the main regulating plan, and another more specific plan for each zone.

An economic feasibility study was conducted after the designing stage, which could be used for developers as a guideline for financing the development.

Facade AAThe facade must accommodate floor to

ceiling windows in order to create an active frontage. All floors must have bal-conies, including ground floor. However, access are restricted to be obtained only

from the atrium. The ground floor is raised by 60cm, to prevent access, and promote

surveillance without disturbing privacy.

Design Qualities AAStrong emphasise on horizontal fenestra-tion line must be given. Flats on the top floor may have overhanging structures to compliment the balcony and to break the continuity. Bright colour could be used on ‘unique’ structure, only to compliment the main soft tone of the rest of the building.

of the building may be between 9 to 10 metres

for zone AA or 9.5 me-tres for zone AB, which

must consist three floors of individual flats. Flats cannot be merged

together, nor be split into two. There is a

flexibility on deciding the height of each indi-vidual floor, however it

should not exceed or be less than what stated.

Grandpont Development2012



This design project was undertaken as one of the pro-jects of my second year urban design module. The aim of the project was to include and incorporate new ana-lytical techniques and concepts applied and taught dur-ing the semester, such as the responsive environment, townscape, morphology, and the image of the city.

The project started with a series of design evolution, starting from the initial design and design action done earlier in the semester; followed by diagrams illustrat-ing the movement framework, density, building form, landscape, block and steet structure, parking provision, energy and resources efficiency, and character and its sense of place. Lastly, the final masterplan and scheme was formed, and presented to the lecturers and the rest of the class.

Site Analysisfor St. Clements Carpark

2012



This project was done to provide th base for the further development and designing of the design code docu-ment for St. Clements carpark in Oxford. During the pe-riod of two months I had to to analysise the site, as well as the surrounding area and had to come up with a set of design objectives and design actions.

Morphology Analysisinter-war period housing development

2012



The aim of this project was to develop my understand-ing in different characteristics of different types of hous-ing development in Britain. There were three types of housing developments available to be analysed individ-ually, and I personally picked this part of the city which holds the characteristics of an inter-war period housing development.

The analysis included street, block, plot, and housing style. Further analysis of the housing itself also includ-ed architectural details such as roof or bay windows, as well as materials.

Imageability AnalysisKevin Lynch’s the Image of the City

2012



The aim of this project was to develop an understand-ing of the priciples of the Image of the city by Kevin Lynch. By using a mental map of Oxford, I exchanged my mental map with three other students and each of us individually counted how many times paths, landmarks, edges and districts are mentioned and drawn, which re-flect to one’s ability to remember, and therefore shows whether Oxford has a character or not as a city.
