Green Tasting: Architectural Installations on Sustainability
The concern about the climate crisis has risen among Indonesian architects. In the first semester of 2022 in Jakarta alone, there had been at least four installations that architects used to promote the importance of sustainability. They were: (1) Melting Iceberg, by Arkitekton 5, (2) Noto Wastu, by monokroma architect, (3) Prolonged Aorta, by Studio Aliri, and (4) Under Our Hill, by Atelier Larasati. However, on the surface level, the temporality of installations and the idea of sustainability they brought seemed contradictory. This paper does not intend to measure or compare the degree of communication effectiveness between the installations. Instead, it aims to find out how architecture installation, which is temporary and thus seemed not sustainable, can be used to represent the idea they bring, which is sustainability. Using a narratological perspective, this research first delineated how installation was effectively used as a storytelling device; it had the characteristics to show and tell, as well as to allow people to experience the message it intended to communicate. Second, through written interviews with the architects, this research examined: the installations’ context (1), the tools they used to show and tell (2), and to allow the exhibition visitors to experience the message regarding sustainability that the installations aim to convey (3), the installations’ post-exhibition status (4), and the architects’ reflection on their installations (5). By highlighting these installations, we hope to inspire more sustainable installations in the future.
