1 DELIRIOUS NEW WORLD Static City and the Engineering of Collective Spaces of Otherness Eka Swadiansa

2 The world is changing. The Earth is crumbling. And if the world is confined as Mother Nature and human being; then the destruction of the planet will also means the downfall of the human civilization. However through science and history, it is rational enough to imagine that even the extinction of the millions years old humankind will not bring total annihilation to the billions years old Earth. It is the human world that needs to be save, not necessary the planet itself. Because even after worst case scenario of human extinction happened, nature will most likely find its way. To heal itself, and finally move on with or without the presence of human civilization (Ecological premise).

5 Human civilization is a paradox. Naturally progress over one entity would always means degradation on the other. Catastrophic turmoil was generated when generations after generations of human being failed to see this paradox, only to be deceived by what they believed to be the ever-growing (economic) progress. Progress are engineered to enhance competitiveness. Competition will not exist when there is no more habitat to live in. However superior or inferior nation, group of nations, race are, we are all living on a single Spaceship Earth (Economic premise).

98 Spaceship Earth as hosting entity (nature) is actually limitless. What limit it has is its ability to support living condition for its occupants (humankind). Living condition that is essential to all human regardless to their race, gender, nationality, religion, social status... Hence in the breach of ecological collapse; this condition can only be achieved through a state of common sovereignty and prosperity, a state where all human shall be equally aware and able- to make radical change (Political premise).

129 Radical change is what required for humankind to survive, for the question that our generation must answer today is definitely not exclusively ecological one nor, it is politically or economically secluded. It is about all the ism- there is combined. Despite of its name, Static City theory is not just another traditionally blind-folded urbanism talks. Through this paper the theory will jump from discussing macro economy performance and Political Economy remapping, to philosophically tackle urban disorders as attempt to solve problems right in the heart where three quarter of human lives.

159 STATIC CITY on MOVEMENT NORMALIZATION EXPERIMENTS

160 All the states of Heterotopias must be considered as complete elementary facts to arrive at the right solution. Mobility is the main issue as most densely populated emerging cities failed to provide affordable and fast mobility services. The dependency upon international aid and the issue of fossil fuel depletion make the mobility reformation even harder, if not an impossible task. Thus, the city must be deconstructed into Static City: city without mobility.

161 To provide the low and middle income groups with spaces, city s collages must also be deconstructed further, creating a series of reforms that not only recycle the city but also revolutionise it completely. The Urban Design needs to be transformed onto more focus Urban Architecture a building-sized architecture that is designed to create impact on the city-scale.
