Eko Prawoto's The Transitory Place: A Housing Project for the Urban Poor in Yogyakarta Project Archive 埃科．普拉沃圖「過渡之所：日惹城市貧民住屋 」項目檔案
Eko Prawoto, an architect and educator based in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, received his training at Gadjah Mada University in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, and the Berlage Institute in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Influenced by mentors such as Yusuf Bilyarta Mangunwijaya, Herman Hertzberger, and Balkrishna Doshi, Prawoto is known for his architectural designs informed by social, cultural, and environmental considerations. In 1985, he joined the Faculty of Architecture and Design at Duta Wacana Christian University in Yogyakarta as a lecturer. Later, he carried out small-scale projects and eventually established the Eko Prawoto Architecture Workshop in 2000.
Some of Prawoto’s notable projects include the gallery spaces at Cemeti Art House (1999) and Langgeng Gallery (2002), both of which showcase his signature open-ended design approach, tailored to the tropical climate. One of his most representative projects is Ngibikan Village (2006), a remarkable reconstruction project carried out in aid of earthquake victims. Prawoto showed his work in Europe, East Asia, and elsewhere, garnering international recognition for his artistic endeavours. His installations displayed at various venues include Shrine for Mother Nature (2003) at the Echigo Tsumari Art Triennial, Japan; Wormhole (2013) at the Singapore Biennale, Singapore; Shells at The Sea (2016) at Holbaek, Denmark; and Bale Kembang (2017) at Europalia, Belgium.
The focus of this archive is Prawoto's project The Transitory Place: A Housing Project for the Urban Poor in Yogyakarta (1993). It features a collection of twelve sketches and documents that reflect his dedication to addressing the needs of the urban underprivileged. Prawato’s project concept, a community designed to extend the slum village Kampung Kali Code in Yogyakarta, originated from his master's thesis at the Berlage Institute. His mentors Mangunwijaya and Hertzberger would later influence his further development of the idea. By utilising readily available materials like bamboo and steel, Prawoto's design aimed to provide a versatile space for community activities and gatherings, empowering residents to gradually improve their living conditions.
Prawoto’s innovative approaches to restoration and post-disaster reconstruction projects have had a significant impact on Indonesia’s architectural landscape. He inspired a new generation of architects to engage with refugees and carry out reconstruction projects, the organisation ARKOMJOGJA serving as one example (refer to fonds CA75 ARKOMJOGJA Project Archives).
