Studio terakhir di Harvard GSD sebelum memulai tesis/skripsi akhir pada semester depan 🎉🎉🎉 Apa yang membuat semester ini benar-benar unik adalah saya memilih untuk mengambil studio Arsitektur Lansekap daripada Arsitektur, dan dari studio ini membuatku bisa mengeksplorasi perspektif yang berbeda dalam desain. Through this experience, I have gained invaluable insights that have enhanced my understanding of how these two disciplines intertwine and complement each other.

Project Title: “Resurfacing Mannahatta”
The name Manhattan originated from the word “Mannahatta”, which can be traced back to the Indigenous American’s Lenape language, meaning "island of many hills." This project aims to resurface Mannahatta, transforming the current Manhattan to its natural landscape, reconnecting it with nature, and harnessing the city's power to thrive in harmony. Urbanization has resulted in a loss of green spaces and ecological disruption, leading to issues like flooding and the urban heat island effect. The proposal suggests creating a "third landscape" on rooftops, utilizing abandoned and inaccessible spaces throughout the city. These rooftops would be transformed into natural habitats with native plants and trees, promoting biodiversity and providing ecological services. The project envisions a revitalized Manhattan skyline that seamlessly blends nature with the existing built environment, harnessing the city's intrinsic energy to sustain itself and thrive harmoniously with the environment. Ultimately, this undertaking aspires to cultivate a more ecologically balanced and biodiverse urban environment that not only supports native wildlife but also enhances the overall quality of life for its residents.
