Description
Loop is an entry for the Indocement awards in the Tiga Roda architectural artwork design category for the year 2010.

Plant - Care
Global warming issue has triggered a new trend in the community. People tend to held communal activity under the “green” banner. one of those is by greening the city with tree planting.

On the other hand, inconsistency often harms this seemingly noble activity. Young trees are often left with such insufficient care that they wither slowly but surely until they finally die.

An Engagement
Based on the phenomenon, the concept of engagement is chosen to be applied on the design as a form of bonding commitment between human and nature.

Form Concept
As a symbol of eternal bondage, the interlocking of two rings forming a continuous loop is taken as the form of loop. Smaller ring connected to a bigger ring together looping one another in a never ending track.

It symbolizes:

Natural environment in a smaller scale is inseparable with that of in the larger scale.

just like a single tree as a part of a natural ecosystem and the ecosystem itself as a part of the whole biosphere.

Function Shifting
when the tree is still young and fragile,
LOOP acts as a signage that there is a young tree which need attention at the point where it is located. hoping that the nearby people would be more aware on the trees existence thus giving more care for the tree.

Loop acts as a supporting device for the tree while it is still fragile until it grows bigger and able to stand alone more firmly. When the tree has grown bigger, LOOP along with the tree provide a lush mini oasis around the sheltered area for the people to come together.
