The speakers and work represented various parts Indonesia, Australia, other parts of Southeast Asia and beyond. Presentations were peppered with inspiration and material richness on\u00a0tropical built environments from tropical Jakarta to subtropical Brisbane.\u00a0For anyone who wanted to attend, who did attend or who are\u00a0simply curious, this article\u00a0reports on two days of dynamic presentations and discussions from the event.<\/p>\n<p>The Australian Institute of Architect\u2019s National President <strong>David Karotkin<\/strong>\u00a0asked early in the conference, &#8216;How do we and\u00a0should we respond to climate?&#8217; Whether stated explicitly or not, building fabric and air conditioning were very hot topics on both days.\u00a0In this conference more than most others, it was easier to be corporeally aware of the ever-present air-conditioning, simultaneously providing relief and\u00a0disconnecting delegates from the local setting.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><em>Tropfix: Palimpsest &#8211;\u00a0layers of inhabitation<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The history of international relations in northern Australia is linked to sea cucumbers. The peoples of the lands now a part of Indonesia and Australia had active international relations well before European settlement. The relations between the Indigenous Australians in the Darwin area (Larrakia and others) and the Makassar people of Sulawesi date back to the 1700s \u2013 or even as far back as the 1600s or 1400s some historians argue.\u00a0The Makkasans came to the Top End to harvest sea cucumber, sometimes with the help of the Larrakia and other indigenous people and there is abundant <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Makassan_contact_with_Australia\">evidence of this\u00a0contact<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Each of the speakers in this first segment acknowledged the physical, cultural and historic links between the two modern nations. In addition to retelling the story of the region\u2019s shared past, each speaker also shared their personal experiences. Larrakia elder <strong>Bilawara Lee,<\/strong> one of two Indigenous Australian speakers at this architecture conference, spoke of Indigenous Australian paradigms and languages, noting that many Makassan words have been embedded into the region&#8217;s Indigenous Australian languages. Bilawara Lee also described her childhood home which had gaps between the floors and walls for cooling \u2013 both with airflow and when washed down with water.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Professor Baharuddin<\/strong> <strong>Hamzah<\/strong> sampled an ambitiously wide range of topics, from the Bugis-Makassar exchange with the Top End, to the thermal comfort of Indonesian vernacular architecture, to daylighting research. One highlight included a study of Indonesian Toraja buildings evolving over time and the thermal comfort impacts of replacing traditional bamboo roofs with modern day zinc-tin roofs.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6943\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6943\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/wp.architecture.com.au\/news-media\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2014\/11\/ausindoarch-urban.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6943 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/wp.architecture.com.au\/news-media\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2014\/11\/ausindoarch-urban.jpg\" alt=\"ausindoarch - urban\" width=\"650\" height=\"362\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6943\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mahditia Paramita, Lawrence Nield and Steve Thorne<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><em>Tropfix: Urban<\/em><\/h3>\n<p>A few hundred years after the early exchange, we now have two tropical regions with very similar climates, some similarities in culture and\u00a0a very different population density. In the segment on tropical urbanisation,\u00a0NT Government Architect<strong> Lawrence Nield <\/strong>suggested that good streets or &#8216;complete streets&#8217; provide the music of a city; to separate people from the street is to create a &#8216;toxic&#8217; place. Streets in tropical cities suffer from expanses of asphalt leading\u00a0to a heat island effect over an already warm, humid city. Encouraging canopy cover over the street and reflective materials for street paving were cited as ways of improving thermal conditions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mahditia Paramita <\/strong>presented work by the Housing Resource Centre Indonesia on affordable urban housing projects, including creative ways of managing seasonal flooding and dwelling organisation in these often low-lying or hillside communities.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Steve Thorne<\/strong> of Design Urban in Melbourne presented urban design research from the UK on how people move through cities. He described how the newer street typologies (ie collector roads and freeways which replaced high streets and regional roads respectively) separate people from streets, which then become devoid of street\u00a0life. From here, he shared a proposed master plan for Darwin\u00a0and also began to explore what urban design means in the tropics.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6945\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6945\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/wp.architecture.com.au\/news-media\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2014\/11\/ausindoarch-fabric.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6945 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/wp.architecture.com.au\/news-media\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2014\/11\/ausindoarch-fabric.jpg\" alt=\"ausindoarch - fabric\" width=\"650\" height=\"392\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6945\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Eko Prawoto, Patrick Coulombel, Andrea Nield and Ninotschka Titchkosky\u00a0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><strong><em>Tropfix: Fabric<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>In the segment <em>Tropfix Fabric<\/em>,<strong> Jo Best<\/strong> of <a title=\"Troppo Architects website\" href=\"http:\/\/www.troppo.com.au\/\" target=\"_blank\">Troppo Architects<\/a>\u00a0questioned the use of materials like concrete block in tropical climate. She also observed that of our buildings codes appear to be biased toward the &#8216;air-conditioned Esky&#8217; rather than breathing buildings with fans.<\/p>\n<p>The work of <strong>Adi Purnomo<\/strong> of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mamostudio.net\/\">Mamostudio<\/a>\u00a0seemed to approach architecture as strategic interventions with an urban-scale impact. Starting with an examination of what&#8217;s missing in an urban site context, the Bogor based studio&#8217;s work introduces smart moves like rainwater collection pools, green roofs, walls and grass berms into cities that have\u00a0very limited green space and use vast amounts of electricity for cooling.

Large projects are not necessarily more interesting or meaningful or useful simply due to their size.<\/li>\n<li>Problems not understood holistically cannot be addressed holistically.
