"The aim of this Expose is to present the project's work in the form of landscape planning and design work, by taking case studies of ten thematic village sites in the city of Bogor. This is a form of recommendation for alternative thinking that is useful for developing landscape arrangements in thematic villages," said the Coordinator of the MK for the Landscape Studio Project, Dr Bambang Sulistyantara.
The activity which took place at the Toyib Hadiwijaya Auditorium, Dramaga Campus of IPB was enlivened by an exhibition of Studio Project Works at the Landscape Architecture Gallery. Expose Studio Project Works as a venue for the presentation of the results of practicum activities for one semester. The exhibition is in the form of alternative planning and landscape design presented by three teams of student representatives selected from a total of 20 teams. They are grouped into two parallel classes with a total of 82 students.
The Dean of the Faculty of Agriculture, IPB University, Prof Suryo Wiyono, gave high appreciation to the Landscape Studio Project MK teaching team who had developed a project-based learning (ProBL) program. The program was carried out through planning and landscape design project activities in 10 thematic villages selected from 39 thematic villages in Bogor City.
The Bogor City Regional Development Planning Agency (Bappeda), represented by Dr Arif Wicaksono, also expressed his appreciation for the implementation of this activity.
The three best project works presented were the landscape planning and design of Maggot Village, Ekoriparian Village and Tebing Gricil Village. Each team presents their work in a very interesting way, because in addition to presenting the results of the design in the form of architectural graphics, it is also equipped with 3D illustrations and animated videos, so that the audience feels invited to enjoy the atmosphere of the planned dream spaces.
The presentations of the three teams were followed by a panel discussion between the presenters and the Bogor City Bappeda, namely the Research and Development Division and the Economic Section, moderated by Dr Kaswanto, one of the MK supporting lecturers for the Landscape Studio Project. From this discussion, very important input was obtained for the presenter team, so that they pay more attention to legal aspects, user security and project financing efficiency.
Students expressed their hope that the results of the planning and landscape design of these thematic villages could make a positive contribution to the development of thematic villages, which in turn would become the forerunners of the development of tourist villages in the city of Bogor. Not to forget, Dr Bambang Sulistyantara as the coordinator of the course plans to compile all the graphic works of the studio project which includes the work of 20 teams into a Landscape Architecture Studio Project Workbook.
