As specialists in affordable, sustainable housing, the Akanoma practice sought to engage with the rural community when building its own premises. In addition to the architectural office/studio, a kitchen, and accommodation for unmarried architects, the project includes a ground-floor multifunctional social space and library, both for villagers’ use. For cost and ecological reasons, most of the construction materials are local, natural and/or recycled. The first-floor office space is a modified ‘joglo’ - a traditional Javanese house - with bamboo walls allowing natural ventilation. These are treated with used cooking oil. Reclaimed plywood is used for louvered windows, and car windscreens form one wall. Rainwater tanks are planned to irrigate the organic garden and farm. Source: Aga Khan Trust for Culture

This is not so much a restoration of a building, as a total remodelling. The height of the mosque has been raised - from 3.7 metres to 9 metres - to create a more serene ambience for the prayer hall and better air circulation, while the 'onion domes' on the towers have been replaced with pitched roofs, which are more in keeping with the local architectural idiom. The local community - including women - has been directly involved in raising funds for the renovation and in the decision-making process. Work is being carried out in phases, as funds become available. Source: Aga Khan Trust for Culture

Al-Irsyad Mosque in Indonesia has a unique cubical form with stacked concrete blocks which create a tectonic effect and a graphic element in Islamic calligraphy. By night, the calligraphy on the façade is illuminated from the interior light in the mosque. The structural columns are arranged in such a way that the façade appears as if it was not supported by any frame.The blocks' systems create a natural ventilation without the usage of air-conditioning. Ninety-nine light boxes, symbolising 99 names of Allah, are shadowed naturally on the lighting box, without the use of artificial light. Source: Aga Khan Trust for Culture

By 1987, Universitas Islam Bandung (UNISBA) had grown to the point where it required a proper campus to accommodate its 5000 students. A ten year programme for the development of the campus had been prepared and stage I, which contains the classroom facilities, had to be constructed in the very short time span of four months. The project comprises four blocks, three of which have been completed and are built around a central square or plaza. The colourful buildings are 3-4 storeys in height and have pitched roofs. The site is relatively small and slopes sharply in certain parts. The campus facilities had to be completed to allow the development of the first phase - 1987 to 1992 - and in order to provide the education, research and service to the public aimed at in the second phase. The campus building programme was scheduled as follows: First stage, Classroom buildings; Second stage, Library, laboratories and lecturers' lounge; Third stage, Mosque and auditorium; and Fourth stage, Rector's offices. The overall design concept is one of an inner court or plaza for use as a communal area with the buildings oriented around the plaza. This area is intended as a meeting place for the students and for car parking. It constitutes the focus of the campus design. The layout is composed of four building blocks identifying the four stages of development. Architectural principles typical of tropical regions have been adopted in the design of the campus such as the use of steeply pitched roofs, wide eaves, and covered walkways.

This project - designed in the late 90s, in the midst of Indonesia's political and economic crisis - is offered as a model of a low-cost, low-maintenance family house. It uses off-the-shelf materials, such as hollow door panels and plaster cement, in innovative ways. The walls are made of hollow concrete blocks, with the ribs hollowed out in places to allow for the insertion of load-bearing columns. The porosity of the material also helps to create an airflow that counteracts the humidity of the climate. Blank modules under the roof further increase ventilation.
