Upon furthering my research I decided to search Google.com to find a conference that highlighted the aspects of culture and Architecture. Considering my interests in design, sustainable architecture, and green architecture it came to great surprise that that I stumbled upon a site highlighting a conference held in Indonesia. The conference's main goals were to combine the culture, natural environment of the tropical rainforest and urban society to maintain and further all three of these key aspects. The conference was held in Jogjakarta hosted by Duta Wacana Christian University April 3-5 of this past year, 2006.
According to the site conference, the goals of the conference were as follows:
1. Traditions, Vernacular Architecture and Urban Forms
2. Tropical buildings construction using local materials
3. Comfort and Quality of Tropical Urban Spaces
4. Design Paradigms and Strategies, Complex Decision Making Processes
5. Parametric Comp Tools for Analysis, CAAD Design & Knowledge Systems
6. Planning and Building Regulations, Criteria for Sustainable Design Standards
7. Planning and design for disaster response and reconstruction
The overall theme was "Tropical Architecture: Harmony in Culture and Nature". The place the conference was held, in Jogjakarta is a center occupied by roughly half a population of college students and is one of the leading places in Indonesia having the highest rate of education. The reason I decided to further pursue the study of this conference and why it peaked my interest was because it prompted me to learn about another culture a little further through getting a taste through what I've read about the city and to see how other's plan to teach other's about the environment around them to preserve it but adapt it to their growing needs of urbanism.
