Bali è una famosa destinazione turistica internazionale che ha una storia di trecento anni legata alla colonia olandese che ha reso l’isola così com’è oggi. Negli ultimi decenni, l’isola ha subito un nuovo sviluppo. Nuovi centri commerciali, alberghi e abitazioni sono stati costruiti in tutta l’isola. Tuttavia, la parte meridionale dell’isola ha ricevuto priorità di sviluppo più elevate creando aree densamente popolate e aumentando la domanda di terra. La tesi inizia con la questione dell’identità in architettura. Ritiene che la globalizzazione abbia portato nuove influenze a Bali. I balinesi percepiscono l’architettura in modo diverso rispetto al passato. Al giorno d’oggi, è difficile e quasi impossibile costruire un tipico complesso residenziale balinese con l’attuale alto valore del terreno e i prezzi dei materiali tradizionali. Tuttavia, la Tesi vede le influenze della globalizzazione come un’arma a doppio taglio che tende a diminuire l’importanza della cultura tradizionale e della tradizione in divenire. Sulla base della ricerca, il progetto affronta l’attuale dibattito tra architettura e identità in un sito a Denpasar. La tesi mira a ripensare come il design può integrare cultura e tradizione nell’architettura contemporanea imparando dal passato per informare il futuro. Nel processo, diverse architetture provenienti da tutto il mondo svolgono un ruolo essenziale nella realizzazione. Prendere idee agisce come un trasferimento di conoscenza per informare un design futuro. Con queste idee, il progetto sperimenta nuove idee “aliene” e le adatta al contesto locale, che crea una forma di ibridazione. Inoltre, il progetto affronta anche questioni ambientali e tenta di creare un’architettura resiliente con le questioni definite nella ricerca di tesi. In conclusione, il progetto funge da luogo per discussioni future su come procedere con la nuova architettura e portare una via di mezzo tra globale e locale.

Abstract
Bali is a famous international tourist destination which has a three-hundred-year-old history related to the Dutch colony making the island as it is today. Over the last few decades, new development has been undergone on the island. New commercial centres, hotels and housings have been built all over the island. However, the southern part of the island has received higher development priorities creating densely populated areas and increasing land demand. The Thesis begins with the question of identity in architecture. It believes that globalisation has brought new influences to Bali. Balinese people perceive architecture differently as they did in the past. Nowadays, it is hard and almost impossible to build a typical Balinese residential compound with the current high land value and prices of traditional materials. However, the Thesis views the influences of globalisation as a double-edged sword that tend to diminish the importance of traditional culture and tradition in the making. Based on the research, the project addresses the current debate between architecture and identity on a site in Denpasar. The Thesis aims to rethink how design can integrate culture and tradition in contemporary architecture by learning from the past to inform the future. In the process, different architectures from around the world play an essential role in the making. Taking ideas acts as a transfer of knowledge to inform a future design. With these ideas, the project experiments with new ‘alien’ ideas and adapt them to the local context, which creates a form of hybridity. Moreover, the project also addresses environmental issues and attempts to create a resilient architecture with the matters defined in the thesis research. In conclusion, the project acts as a place for future discussion on how to proceed with new architecture and bring a middle ground between global and local.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
