Competition of Innovation and Architectural Facade Design Ideas by GBCI

May 22, 2019

The increasingly challenging task of Earth improvement in the future requires a variety of innovations, especially in the way buildings are constructed. The Green Building Council Indonesia (GBCI) seeks to explore this potential for innovation by organizing the "Competition of Innovation and Architectural Facade Design Ideas." As the title suggests, this competition pits innovations and architectural facade design ideas against each other, open to students from all over Indonesia.

The judging took place on April 25, 2019, in the training room of the GBCI office, featuring a judging panel consisting of Tiyok Prasetyoadi, Ariko Andikabina, Adi Purnomo, Yudianto Sofyan, Vivian Kristiarto, and the chairman of the jury, Eddy Indarto. After a lengthy and thorough discussion, the jury decided that only two winners were entitled to receive prizes as the Champion and Runner-Up.

The Champion title was awarded to the team of Muhammad Irhash Maulana, Laras Wirawan, and I Putu Eva Mahayana from Lambung Mangkurat University. Meanwhile, the Runner-Up title was earned by the team of Oliver Kenny, Chathleen Charity Chandra, and Arnott Ferels from Podomoro University.

The competition aims to gather fresh ideas and innovations in building facade design within the framework of passive design thinking. It aims to demonstrate facade design strategies that result in energy efficiency and maximum emission reduction as the initial basis for a net-zero building. The presented ideas can take the form of hypotheses and/or initial design schemes that can be further tested in a series of continuous research. The final results of the research are expected to enrich the repertoire of energy-efficient building design strategies, low carbon, and a shift towards renewable energy, as well as contribute to the completeness of the GREENSHIP rating tool as a benchmark for green buildings. ― Construction+ Indonesia
