ABSTRAK
Sebuah kota hadir tidak melalui fisiknya saja, tetapi juga melalui hal-hal yang kasatmata, seperti memori. Ingatan manusia terhadap lingkung sekitarnya menjadi hal yang perlu diperhatikan dalam ranah perancangan perkotaan karena persepsi manusia juga terkait dengannya, terlebih jika ingatan tersebut terkait dengan kehilangan atau duka yang dirasakan akibat suatu peristiwa yang terjadi di suatu kota. Berkaitan dengan hal itu, tesis ini diawali dari keingintahuan saya, sebagai mahasiswi perancangan perkotaan, terhadap pengaruh suatu peristiwa yang tragis—atau kerap disebut “tragedi”—pada ruang mengenang di sebuah kota. Dalam menghadapi suatu kehilangan akibat peristiwa tragis, seseorang sering kali merasakan kesan tertentu yang menuntut untuk diejawantahkan. Kesan atau fitur yang muncul karena ketidakhadirann peristiwa yang menghentak rutinitas itu disebut “absential feature”. Konsepsi inilah yang mengaitkan ‘tragedi’ dengan urgensi ruang mengenang di ranah publik. Dari hasil penilikan hal tersebut, munculah ide perancangan kawasan mengenang sebuah peristiwa kelam di ruang Kota Jakarta: Tragedi Semanggi. Dengan memetaforakan Semanggi yang begitu riuh dengan lalu lalang manusia dan kendaraan, serta menilik ‘absential feature’ yang timbul akibat persitiwa di tahun 1998/1999 tersebut, munculah beberapa hal yang menjadi dasar hasil akhir dari tesis perancangan ini, yakni guidelines perancangan Persimpangan Reformasi—titik singgah pengenangan Tragedi Semanggi.

ABSTRACT
A city presents not only with its physical appearance but also with its intangible thing within it, such as memory. Human’s memory about their environing space needs to be noticed in urban design because it also impacts on their perception, especially if it is about loss or grief as an effect of an event in a city. Regarding that fact, this thesis was began by me, as an urban design student, questioning impact of a tragic event—or is usually called as “tragedy”—on commemorating space in a city. Human tend to feel certain impression to face their grief as an impact of a tragic event. Impression or feature created by an absence stomping event is called “absential feature”. This conception gives a link between ‘tragedy’ and the urgency of commemorating space in public. By assessing deeper towards that conception, I found an idea to create a memorial area for commemorating a dark event in Jakarta: Semanggi Tragedy. By metaphorizing Semanggi, which was full of the hustle and bustle of vehicles and human’s circulation, and comparing its physical change before and after the tragedy, I could decide basic things for this design thesis that was eventually manifested into some guidelines for Persimpangan Reformasi—a transit point for the commemoration of Semanggi Tragedy.

Jeffrey Kipnis's writing, thinking, and teaching casts architecture as both an intellectual discourse and a lived, affective experience. His essays on contemporary architects are less about making critical judgments than about explication, exegesis, and provocation. In these eleven essays, written between 1990 and 2008, he considers projects, concepts, and buildings by some of the most recognized architects working today, with special attention to the productions of affect. He explores "intuition" in the work of Morphosis, "exhilaration" in Coop Himmelb(l)au, "freedom" in the work of Rem Koolhaas and OMA, "magic" in Steven Holl's buildings, and "anxiety" in Rafael Moneo's writing about contemporary architecture. Kipnis's deft integration of art, critical theory, philosophy, pop culture, classical music, and science -- what the volume's editor Alexander Maymind calls "ancillary material"--Into a rigorous architectural theory and criticism makes A Question of Qualities an exemplar of a new way to write about architecture. It is also a distinct pleasure to read. Kipnis transcends the fractious intellectual climate in architecture, stepping outside the boundaries mandated by the vast specialized criteria that the discipline now claims to address. The essays in this volume demonstrate a style of writing that is not so much about architecture as it is an affect of architecture itself
