Soehardi Hartono of HDS, will be a featured speaker at the upcoming event at Pos Bloc Medan. He will deliver a presentation on the topic of Sustainable Design (Daur Rupa), emphasizing the critical importance of sustainability in urban development and architectural design. This presentation will draw from HDS's landmark project, The Revitalization of Lapangan Merdeka, using it as a case study to highlight key principles and approaches in creating sustainable public spaces.

In his talk, Soehardi Hartono will delve into how the Daur Rupa philosophy—centered around reuse, renewal, and environmentally-conscious design—was integrated into the revitalization efforts of Lapangan Merdeka, one of Medan's most historically significant urban spaces. The discussion will explore the balance between preserving cultural heritage and adapting to modern needs, showcasing how thoughtful, sustainable interventions can enhance public spaces without compromising their historical essence.
Attendees can expect to learn about innovative design strategies used in the Lapangan Merdeka project, including the incorporation of green infrastructure, the use of eco-friendly materials, and the engagement of local communities in the process. Hartono will also discuss the challenges and successes encountered during the revitalization, providing insights on how sustainable design can contribute to the long-term social, environmental, and cultural well-being of urban centers like Medan.
