Department of Architecture Architecture. Thesis: M. Arch., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Department of Architecture, February, 2021 Cataloged from the official thesis. Includes bibliographical references (page 156). Post -arium is a search for a new form and tectonics, an exploration of new standards and other ways to produce comfort. If -arium is a suffix denoting a location in which things are kept, often alluding to architecture as containers of comfort sustained by carbon forms, in Post -arium, we question comfort: on whose and what terms are we basing it on? In the face of temperature change, we need a new kind of comfort; ask for new standards, idea, strategies and form; probing further what is comfort or discomfort, how we can achieve it, and who can achieve it. Post -arium looks at the flow of energy (often felt as heat) between the "source" and "sink" states, and further using this as a methodology to explore its possible forms. Here, we discuss issues relating to flooding and modes of living in Jakarta, Indonesia, through the lens of Post-arium. As a low-lying delta, surrounding cities send water through the rivers and canals of the city, before all the water drains out to Jakarta Bay. Specifically, the site in discussion is Waduk Pluit, a crucial end point of the water routes in North Jakarta, a small reservoir with a water gate that pumps out to the sea. Like many other bodies of water in Jakarta, informal settlements have developed around the edges of the reservoir. The gap between the high-rise lifestyle of the rusunawa (rental housing flats for low-income residents) and these informal settlements calls for a hybrid between urban living and its need for densification, with models of housing that aligns with the cultural desires of the residents. Post -arium looks to bring into the site the strategies for density that are sensible to the cultural aspirations and environmental reality, and thus challenges the notion of comfort thermally and culturally. by Arditha Auriyane.
