VIDA Bekasi
SSJ
Architect: andramatin architects
Location: Bekasi
About
The Vida project can be seen along
the gate of a residential complex in Bekasi. The façade can also be visualized
as an artwork; therefore, our hand-weaving panels need to implicate a certain
amount of flexibility to follow the design intention. The synthetic materials
are taken from industrial leftovers to reduce waste and to contribute to a
better environment.
Challenges
This façade is located directly
adjacent to the public highway with a high level of traffics activities, the
durability of materials is seen as the most questionable aspect.
Solution
Following its surrounding
environment, it is necessary for the raw materials to feature flexibility and
durability. After almost 5 years put in place, this Vida façade keep showing
its UV resistance, weatherproof, high tensile strength, chemical resistance,
and colourfast towards Bekasi environment without any single complaint from the
client.
