Visionary Metropolis Urbanism Foundation continues to expand its impact through various innovative research projects in the fields of urbanism and architecture. One of our flagship research projects, Jakarta Disconnected City, produced a strategic vision for Jakarta 2030 that was showcased at the American Institute of Architects (AIA) in New York, highlighting solutions to urban connectivity challenges in Jakarta. Additionally, research on the Bintaro area as a secondary city has given rise to the prestigious Bintaro Design District (BDD) initiative, which serves as a platform for design collaboration and urban innovation.

Internationally, our research on migration from the Middle East to Europe has resulted in the monumental work Fortress Europe. This research was also presented through a prestigious exhibition in Venice, Italy, which drew global attention to the issues of migration and inclusive urban design. Through research, exhibitions, and publications, Visionary Metropolis Urbanism Foundation continues to contribute to the development of more sustainable, connected, and resilient cities, both in Indonesia and around the world.

Omah Tanah is a reflection of an architectural journey that departs from sensitivity to place, material wisdom, and contemporary life. Through the exploration of rammed earth walls combined with the distinctive architecture of the Indonesian archipelago, this work presents living spaces that are responsive to the climate, blend in with the landscape, and respect local culture. A personal narrative of cross-border experiences—from China to Indonesia—is connected with material experimentation, sustainability, and social value for the local community. This book is not merely a documentation of the project, but also a reminder that true architecture is born from a dialogue between humans, nature, and time.
