Recent efforts of restoration on the Muslim religious sites in Jakarta take place in several old mosques that were built around the old settlements (kampung) of creole communities in Pekojan. This historic kampung is situated on the western fringe of Jakarta Old Town since eighteenth century and adjacent to the other diverse ethnic groups’ neighbourhood. The challenges emerge when the old mosque continues to expand its space volumes and adapt to accommodate the users’ needs and so the expansion impacts the ethics of restoration. This research specifically took a case study in Jami Mosque of Kampung Baru as one of the heritage mosques built in Pekojan. The early process of the documentation and historical research found various levels of deteriorations and extensions in the building. By applying participatory action research, it showed the early efforts of restoration led by locals. This research also concerned with the responsibility of the owners, functionaries, community officials, and users towards the cultural heritage to be contested. It also extended the conceptual meaning of “ownership” of cultural heritage by definition in terms of religious building in Indonesia.
In Architecture context is a glorious substitute, although in reason, context can deliver architecture to a more humane product, but is it possible to adapt the context without empathy? Does the designer experience the process of empathy in the architecture of the designer? By studying how empathy works and seeing its impact on an event, can provides new narratives rather then just seeing the user purely as an object of observation. Political decisions, a view of culture, and an understanding of local traditions can be used an important inform in defining a quality of space. the presence of empathy can contribute to decisions taken by the perpetrator on the object of empathy. How can empathy be used in architecture? how empathy affect human decision? This Paper will study Empathy Thoroughly both from it’s origin and how years of discourses have change it, anlyze how it can be used for architecture. Later, the understood concept will be reflected towards the 1950’s of Indonesian urban and architecture.
The beginning of the 20th century can be regarded as a point of cultural and development shift towards modernity in Indonesia. These change comes along with the shifting paradigm of Colonialization that occurred in Dutch Indies, presenting figures of Dutch who were complained of having empathy towards Indies people. Multatuli with Max Havelar, Wilhelmina with Ethical Politics, Tillema with Kromoblanda, and a series Dutch Architects who are considered to have contributed to the development in Indonesia. Even thought so, there was a variety of declination from the Indies people thanks to the inability from both parties to understand each other, or as people says it lack of empathy. As the times goes on, Dutch-Indies people slowly accept the appropriated modernity offered by Dutch architect, however, it came with cost. The build environment culture that always been there with Indies people are seemingly lost in transition. This research paper seeks to elaborate on the discourse of empathy theory & examine it effects toward architectural dynamics in Dutch Indies in the 20th Century. The study was conducted through precedent studies. The understood elaboration then later will become a framework for understanding the development dynamics that occurred in Dutch East Indies at the early 20th century.
