The city I'm choosing is certainly Jakarta, and not Bandung. Bandung has a very potential abandoned landscape but is already a city with so much greenery. And it also got many outdoor activity held in the public area, so it's not a so much difficult case to create a great design in Bandung. But, Jakarta is some other thing. It also possess many potential abandoned landscape, but almost zero activity were held at those public area. I guess it's because it's not interesting to a metropolitan citizen, and also not safe and hot. Not much people would like to go somewhere outdoor and public with so much more activity can be held indoor (mall, game center, etc.), not to mention the traffic. With so much problem, I think, Jakarta would be a potential site to design a playscape with its own uniqueness. The second reason to choose Jakarta would be: it is where I live.
By the way, I'm going to try to post twice a day because of my absence for a week. Hohooo... This is what I've been going through all those days:
This is what my teammate doing for almost 2 weeks.
This is what I made in 32 freaking hours, just to fix what she threw on me (just the landscape, so that does not include the building and the aisle). I'm not bragging or anything, but it takes effort to finish something and laziness is not the key that helps. God, what have she been doing all those times. I really can think of something worthy.
Uh, if you're wondering what competition it is, it's the Tropical Architecture Design Competition 2013 by International High Learning from Singapore. Maybe you should join it next year, it's fun! :D
