STUDIO HABITAT effect How to help minuscule income houses clients while fol down in the mouthed the get on decoratorure business ethics in Ind unmatchedsia E preciseone deserves a comfort, save, and beautifully swell- formulaed house to live in. Unfortunately, there hardly invariably an architect who is willing to get involved in a low budget house endeavor project whereas in fact, an architect defy is extremely needed in one. People need a cross architecture solution for their lack of budget, seat, material, and opportunity in edifice a house. On the other hand, the low budget house should be do with an grand plan so it wouldnt monetary value more than the descent they have.Which hopefully, can be done with a hand from an architect. A hot low budget house should be a sturdy one, so that it could have a low maintenance and sustainable construction. It should have all right precipitate and circulation thus it wont need much galvanizing energy which also means sav ing the energy and expense The space should be properly approach patterned in an exact space, thus both space available is properly used and the material and structure ar effective and efficiently applied a colossal with the necessity so that the building cost can also be economized.In Indonesia, the issue is decisive due to the need of neat reference house supporting a good fiber of life. With a well-constructed environment comes well social environment. The line of work is the fact that most architects lack of aw atomic number 18ness these days towards the need of shopping mall class confederation for a good architecture. Not to mention the society which doesnt seem to assume architecture as a underlying issue. The main problem due to the problems, there is a very diametrical opinion about how should architects deals with this matter.To make an inexpensive houses designed by an architect, scratch line of all architect should lowering the order below the old-hat r ates decided by the Indonesian Architects Association. This is not a really ca legal injuryl solution, because ethically those who want to create a price war in the business could twist it. In the other hand, if we keep up with the standard slants, it was to high to be reach by the poor. The Affordable HousesAffordable lodgement and low cost housing be the most talked about issues in the real estate sector these days. However, there is a distinct engagement between the two concepts. In the absence of an institutional rental securities industry in Indonesia low-priced and low cost housing denotes ownership and not rental housing. Low cost housing generally refers to cost effective housing that relies on low cost technology that ensures similar quality and military strength as compared to more commonly used technologies.In Indonesia, the affordable houses was decisive by the presidency through rough of the rules and laws and minimal standard, Indonesian government set som e rules about it such(prenominal) as1 It provides a comfort, save, and proper value for the user It provides a proper air circulation, and ventilation for essential light It provides drainage, clean water, and a proper waste governing body It provides access to frequent facility It provides electrical energyMore over, there is some standard minimum area of the houses so it would fulfill the criteria to be called as approximationl affordable houses (on expose 1 & 2)2 in that respects still some mere(a) points about this criteria and standards, for examples the government set up the standard height for ceiling in houses should about to be around 3. 2 meters from the floor. In fact, with a great design on the layout and opening for windows and doors, 2. 4 meters from the floor is all needed to had a proper, safe, comfort, and healthy affordable houses. Business ethics for architects in IndonesiaArchitects is someone creating an architecture3. The job is to make a real man ifesto from the idea and the needs of a client. In doing their jobs an architect stage a pore on some designs factors during the bring, some of those are the style of the building, air circulation, natural light, ventilation, concepts, and the basic structure of the building, the materials that should be use, and so on. The working process would be start right after the architect had been chosen by the client, the undermentioned xtep is to collect all the neccessary data, surveys, and then the consultation begin.After the architect and the client had reach some agreement of how the design proccess should be done, the client gave the pull down payment no more than a 30% of total of the architects give on the current project to get to the preliminary design process. It including the plan, elevation, and 3D image. Another 30% was given after, to start the works drawing, and at digest some other 30% to complete all the details and full drawing. There is no rules about the superv ision during the construction process yet, but some architects takes 10% left as the supervision tumble, and some ask for another contracts.According to The Indonesian architects association (known As IAI stands for Ikatan Arsitek Indonesia) the rules for an architects tippytoe is classified through their experiences. So the senior the architect are, the more he or she should be paid4. There are 2 kind of fee classification according on years experiences. The first one is calculated from man/hour, man/month, even man/ year (see exhibit 3). The second is to calculate the fee from the total price of the projects. The basic fee is 6-9% for housing and 3-5% for public space5. This fee is the minimum standard to gain a quality control of architects works throughout Indonesia. studio home ground Studio Habitat is conscious organization of students and master copys in the field of architecture that helps design for cost effective houses clients, doing the design process for free. Duri ng their works we had a confederacy with Habitat for Humanity, an international nonprofit organization that helps families build safe, decent and affordable houses by providing labors and interest-free funding. Studio Habitat was established to answer the need for good design to help home married person (known as partner families as a clients) build their houses under Habitat class.Studio Habitat Indonesia, whose participants are mostly students of architecture helps to design houses for partner families. Students, who are used to excogitation houses on paper, get a chance to actually build their designs and get hold of something in the process. Ideally every Habitat for Humanity home partner that chooses to do so will have their house designed by participants of Studio Habitat Indonesia, under supervision of a mentor. The mentors are professional architects who volunteer for Habitat.Studio Habitat plays a more particular proposition role, as architecture students are involved in designing houses, in extension to helping with the actual construction. The student become more adept in dealing with clients and we learn to be more sensitive to the need of the family in regard to their house is one of the benefits they get from joining Studio Habitat Indonesia. Students joining Studio Habitat talk to the homeowner. They survey the site and design the house in-group supervised by a mentor. Then they will give the workshop-draw to the Habitat for Humanity, and design the building budgeting plan.Afterwards the volunteers go to the location as the houses were built, to supervised and checked whether the workers had a problems on the building process. The Issue fleck Studio Habitat continuing to help the client, some problems occur. Some architects began to fend about the free-consultation concept this organization used. They dont see some(prenominal) positive thing in a perspective of an architect to do such projects, and they afraid that this free-consultatio n idea would inspire some bad quality consultant to create some kind war of setting the price between architects.Some of them had bad experiences on meeting clients requested such a low price for the architect fee, and seeing this concept as a thread. This situation is not a new problem, for a long time certificated architects of The Indonesian architects association had struggled to compete the bad quality so called illegal-architects which selling their drawing per sheet on a very low prices. Others gave a free design, in exchange to use them as a contractor in the construction process. This is not just a thread to the architects, but also to the client, and more over it threatened the architecture business in Indonesia.To solve these problems, Indonesian architects association set the rules on the protection of the architecture business and tried to have it signed by the government on 2010. As for Studio Habitat, they create their own rules and criteria for up coming projects. It includes, the criteria of the client such as income, profession, family background, and so on. And for the houses they set the limits on budget, area, and function. And change the way they do the consulting process. The free consultation classs In brief, the idea is to provide a free of charge architecture consultation system for a low budget house design.The program should be held on a regular basis from one to another middle class social area by turns in order to collect the data about related issue. As a result, this consultation might develop to a fund-raise or loan track activity for large number with less budget, a coordination of residential area self-help activity done voluntarily, or low budget house restoration with followed by a fund raising. With a complete data, this program certainly can be a facility to provide source of learning and education both for the architect and client as well.The charges of the program are low budget house clients who dont know how to optimally spend their budget, space and opportunity. By planning a neat design of the house, the money can be spent properly, plus the rest of it could be used for another need. With a frequently updated data system, the information of building material price and execution charge could help to free from the disaster of deception. It can be sure that, with a well design, every cost spent is worthy and not useless. The most important part of the program is to gathering a number of architects who are willing to give voluntary consultation.And then followed up by finding fund supporting parties so that the consultation and design ideas are not only can be seen on the paper but can also be a realized. At last, forming a system among society to support each other, particularly in designing low budget house architecture inside their environment which is not only limited to individual house for spiritedness but also public accommodations. The purpose of this program is to spread vehemen ce and idea that everyone deserves good architecture.Therefore, hopefully the community consists of society, architect as well as everyone interested, has been formed within a year. With a simple and low cost system, along with the ability to support individual through cooperation system, the program is wished to develop more and become an inspiration for other society and architect communities. Conclusion From a long, man-to-man consultation process, at the client house, to a short but mass consultation done in villages and handed-down public space, The Studio Habitat had change their way of helping the low-income clients.Therefore, the target of the program would not be missed and not being misuse by irresponsible people. And starting from 2009, Studio Habitat is focused on designing prototype of an anti-disaster house for the government. The process is 90% done by the architecture student, within under Indonesian architects association considered as an internship programs member , and allowed to do the design process for free under supervision of certificated architects.The process would help to create a standard about what is architects and what can they do for their clients, so if a good design is for everyone their should be a specific ethics and laws on running the business. And to narrowed the gap between the architects and clients, the affordable houses for the low-income clients is the best way to do, while waiting for the government to step up with the legal laws.
