Wiswakharman Expo is an annual architecture event series held by architecture students of Universitas Gadjah Mada. Every year, Wiswakharman Expo brings a fascinating theme. This year we hold an International Architecture Competition with the theme of “Communal Space for Social Raise”
[INTRODUCTION OF THEME]
Around 7% of urban residents live in poverty, just above the poverty line, often in slums, informal settlements, and overcrowded housing. These settlements are self-built on government land without legal ownership and are often crammed with buildings that serve as both residences and trading places. The unevenness of settlement arrangement can lead to the creation of new slum areas.
The lack of communal spaces in underdeveloped settlements creates problems for the community, as proper spaces for social interactions and recreational activities are often inadequate or non-existent. The third place, a public space for community gathering and activities other than home and the working place, is essential for social interactions. Public spaces in settlements reflect the values of the community and can be transformed through architectural thinking.
Therefore, architecture that promotes sustainability and accessibility can empower society and help eradicate poverty - a notion inspiring this year’s theme.
[ELIGIBILITY]
Architecture undergraduate students worldwide are welcome for individual participants or group leaders, and students from the same or other majors as group members. The registration fee is paid per team of at least one person and a maximum of three people, with at least one architecture student as the group leader. You are required to fill in your personal details, including student identity card, in the registration form.
