Perspective

Community-Based Architecture

Community-based architecture is an approach to planning, designing, and building that prioritizes the involvement of the communities affected by the proposed project. it is associated with various backgrounds and aspects that shape a system within a particular community. In a community, there must be a shared vision and mission as the background for forming the community. This approach draws people in and gives them a sense of ownership over the buildings they work, play, and live in which directly engages users in the design process. The aim is to built collaborative environment, aiming to enhance the culture, heritage, and identity of a place.

What makes a community?

McMillan and Chavis (1986) stated that a community is a group of members who possess a sense of belonging, are interconnected, and believe that the needs of the members will be fulfilled as long as they remain committed to staying together.

Ailurophile Community

Human connection with felines began about 9,500 years ago, with the earliest evidence of a mutual relationship. The unique characteristics of cats captivate humans and foster an emotional connection between them. This bond has led to the formation of a community of cat lovers aiming for networking, sharing knowledge, providing supportive environment, and creating an entertaining. The essence of this community revolves around the well-being of cats and its members

Inserting Non-Humans in Urban Interiority

To change the paradigm from human centered urbanity to a multi-species. This allows us to perceive cats as an inherent component of the ecosystem.

A well-being space provides for the needs of both humans and cats, with every aspect of its design involving human aspects, specifically the community of cat lovers, as well as the cats themselves. This is intended to be an idea for the future so that humans become aware once again that there are other species living in urban environments that also require attention
