"The Twisting Paradigm of A Paradise”
is the Philosophy that initiated this whole development. It is inspired by the Cultural Background of the site where
The island of Nusa Penida has only been recently famous for its tourist attraction. Before that, it used to have a negative stigma as a place of ‘witchcraft’ practice by many people. That stigma has to be shifted without ‘changing’ entirely the ‘Spirit of The Place’ itself.
Hence, it is important to retain the Traditional Form, Building Materials, & Construction Techniques, in order not to make this architectural movement alienating the local culture, but instead emerging to its context.
