ABSTRACT

An earthquake that hit Lombok, Indonesia in 2018 destroyed more than 32,000 brick houses. The houses collapsed because they were built informally without calculating the structural strength and local wisdom available in the area. The number of victims who died was allegedly caused by the rubble of their own houses, not directly due to the earthquake. Based on this phenomenon, this article intends to present an exploratory project to develop a concept of inexpensive disaster-resistant houses, utilizing local wisdom, while being able to flexibly accommodate the needs of the residents following the growth of the inhabitants of the house. The proposed design solution departs from the background of the 2018 Lombok earthquake. Literature review related to informal settlements known as urban villages were also carried out to complement the initial data. This refers to the formation of a similar type of settlement in most of the areas affected by the earthquake. To recover after a natural disaster, disaster victims need new housing that can be built quickly and inexpensively. Also, there must be an area to help them carry out simple economic activities, for example, a small shop or a food stall. As a result, this study proposes a disaster-resistant incremental house design from bamboo material that can be developed according to the needs of residents and accommodate the economic activities of residents who have just recovered from natural disasters. These design solutions are not only affordable but also promote sustainable building design to the wider community.
