Bale Kambang II

            Europalia Indonesia 2017 in Bonaparte dock, Antwerp.

Bamboo is part of daily life in Indonesia. It is much more than a sustainable alternative to scarce tropical wood. Bamboo culture is deeply rooted in most of the ethnics groups spread across the Indonesian archipelago. 

Bale Kambang (“floating platform”) is a gathering place on the water, designed and created especially for the EUROPALIA INDONESIA festival. It is built completely out of bamboo, using a traditional joints technique with bamboo pegs. The bamboo was harvested from several villages around Yogyakarta, which is known for the high quality and strength of its bamboo thanks to the volcanic ash that enriches the soil. The bamboo was then prepared by local carpenters before being sent to Antwerp for assembly by experienced bamboo carpenters assisted by enthusiastic architecture students.

This floating platform by Eko Prawoto aims to create a new public space, where people can experience the smells, sounds and atmosphere of Indonesia’s bamboo culture. It is an open invitation for organising various kinds of community activities. The platform’s open structure is an expression of hospitality, and its frame - resembling leaf buds – expresses a desire for better relations between nations.

Europalia Indonésie 2017 à Bonapartedok, Anvers.

En Indonésie, le bambou fait partie intégrale de la vie quotidienne et est bien plus qu'un simple matériau de construction durable comme alternative au bois tropical. La culture du bambou est très profondément ancrée dans la plupart des groupes ethniques répartis dans l'archipel indonésien.

Bale Kambang (« plate-forme flottante ») est un lieu de rassemblement flottant sur l'eau, conçu et créé spécialement par Eko Prawoto dans le cadre d'EUROPALIA INDONESIA. Entièrement en bambou,  il est construit en utilisant des chevilles en bambou, une technique de jointure traditionnelle. Le bambou utilisé pour l'installation a été récolté dans plusieurs villages autour de Yogyakarta. Grâce à la silice dans son sol, provenant des cendres volcaniques, la région est réputée pour l'excellente qualité et solidité de son bambou. 

Celui-ci a ensuite été préparé par des charpentiers locaux avant d'être envoyé à Anvers. Le processus d'assemblage est effectué par des charpentiers expérimentés et qualifiés, spécialisés dans le bambou, avec l'aide enthousiaste d'étudiants en architecture.

Cette installation d'Eko Prawoto vise à devenir un nouvel espace public, où les gens ressentent les odeurs, les couleurs, les sons et l'atmosphère des cultures du bambou. Elle invite à organiser des activités communautaires sur sa structure. La forme ouverte de sa structure exprime l'hospitalité, ses contours - ressemblant à des feuilles croissantes - le souhait d'une meilleure relation entre les nations.
