Erasmus Huis Jakarta spotlights sustainable buildings for a better world.
Exhibitions can sometimes feel intimidating and even unwelcoming. Held in secure establishments, visitors usually walk around in silence, seeing and admiring items being displayed at a respectful distance. Touching or even getting too close to these items are often frowned upon.
But the Building With Nature exhibit at the Erasmus Huis in Kuningan, South Jakarta, aims to feel different. Held in the exhibition hall of the Dutch cultural center, visitors can be seen rubbing, smelling and moving things around. On July 12, which was opening day, many also sat around the space, engaging in passionate discussions about the items being displayed.
“You may touch everything,” said Lucas de Man, cofounder and CEO of Company New Heroes. “You can take [the display items] off and rebuild the expo.”
Company New Heroes is a Dutch creative company based in Amsterdam. Until Aug. 27, it is presenting an exhibition on sustainable buildings at the Erasmus Huis in collaboration with Dutch and Indonesian designers.
