Point of View AI sebagai Rekan Manusia: Kemampuan ChatGPT dalam Desain Arsitektur

Oleh Muhammad Habib Alfakhri

Batas dalam perancangan rumah sering dipahami sebagai keterbatasan, dari waktu yang sempit, pengetahuan yang parsial, atau memori manusia yang terbatas. Namun justru di antara batas-batas inilah proses desain berlangsung: seperti merangkai puzzle tanpa gambar utuh, di mana setiap potongan ditentukan oleh pengalaman, kebutuhan, maupun perubahan kehidupan. Tulisan ini mengeksplorasi bagaimana kehadiran AI seperti ChatGPT dapat menjadi jembatan dialog antara manusia dan bangunan, membantu menavigasi kebutuhan yang kerap berubah dan membuka perspektif baru dalam merancang ruang yang adaptif.

CORRECTION: Please note the previous post contained an incorrect date, this is the right post. The event will be held on 8th and 15th November 2025. Thank you for your understanding.

For ten years, Architecture Sans Frontières-Indonesia (ASF-ID) has positioned itself through voluntarism, aiming to alternate the mainstream spatial practices through architectural interventions—deliberating its process via participatory approaches that treat context as an active, generative agent. Within its framework, context is a prerequisite, and will is the driving force. Yet paradoxically, ‘Architecture' itself sets the limitation: as part of a larger system, it remains confined by institutional norms and market imperatives, isolating alternative possibilities within the narrow realms of ‘pro-bono practices’, ‘community services’, or ‘humanitarian architecture’.

This begins with rethinking the participatory approaches as a process of collective imagining that is grounded on structural issues on realities: how these approaches can contribute to the discourse of critical spatial practice in Indonesia, especially on issues of climate crisis and spatial justice?

Kafe: Manifestasi Spasial Kelas Menengah Terdidik Indonesia

Oleh Hafiz Muhammad Dwi Sumarno/

Kafe bukan sekadar tempat ngopi, ia hadir dan tumbuh menjadi ruang kelas menengah terdidik untuk membangun jejaring, merawat kapital, dan menjaga posisi sosialnya. Di tengah kampus yang kehilangan ruang kolektif dan kota yang kekurangan ruang publik, kafe jadi alternatif yang terasa akrab tapi penuh seleksi. Ruang yang tampak terbuka, tapi tidak untuk semua.

Di Balik Tembok-Tembok: Merawat Tensi, Melampaui Batas

Oleh Josef Christofer Benedict & Kristoforus Lintang Mahadewa

Batas antara formal dan informal kerap kali dilihat sebagai hambatan yang perlu dilompati: yang informal dituntut untuk berkembang menjadi formal, atau digusur sama sekali. Namun pada realita sehari-hari, batas ini justru menjadi ruang yang lentur, di mana berbagai kepentingan dinegosiasikan dan dijalin. Melalui tulisan ini, Josef & Lintang merefleksikan bahwa relasi lintas batas tidak selalu tentang oposisi atau dominasi, melainkan berada dalam tensegritas sosial yang saling menopang dalam sebuah keseimbangan.
