Competition for a greener Indonesia, projects may never happen, but a small step is still a step and I compliment them. http://bit.ly/V2JSq

Yes, I do believe this projects will never be realized. The core of the problem is way too complicated to be fixed by high rise building with circulation ramp. Most of Indonesian people are not educated enough to follow complicated instruction for waste processing machine. I think, instead of creating projects that only shouts with no action; why not create a competition that let architects to deal with the culture of people living in kampong. Working inside out, instead of outside-in? We need to look into each area, how their system works, identify the problems and solve it. But not removing the whole lot and put them in a high rise building.

But, I do have to give a compliment on the effort. A small step is a step after all.

Are you kidding me!?!? …This is so wrong in every level. Has any of the jury ever lived in Jakarta, or visited this city?
Lot of cute little fantasy that doesn’t work; (“A waste processing machine will sit on top of the high-rise, thus providing jobs for those who are struggling financially.”) ..what..?!, carved out mosque – with living units stacked above it?, circulation ramp? what do you think these people suppose to do with it?… ooh.. aahh, then what? urgh… ouch?
Put this proposal somewhere else. Jakarta has far deeper problem to solve and it would take couple of more generations to go through before it can integrate such theory.
Other entries may have not seem so fantastical, but perhaps more understanding and sensitive. who knows.

Putting people into high-rises to create green space? How very Corbusian of you! Nice utopian vision, however it seems to lack a real understanding of modern social dynamics.
