Genealogy versus Genomics: The Architecture of the Future – A Case Study of Kampung Tanjung Gedong, Jakarta

This study explores the phenomenon of the Genealogy of Modern Architecture theory as a Millennium architectural discourse, with its central issues on the analysis of iconic modern buildings from 1924 to the 2000s. While the concentration draws global attention towards the new approaches to dissecting the typology of modern interventions, the gap remains on the main agenda to advance genealogy, which includes serving deeper and larger undertakings. The problem lies in the stagnancy of focus on individual buildings and the query of networks' continuance, as the theory was not aimed at presenting origin and lineage, but the feature and signature of starchitects. The research aims to encourage a continuation of genealogy theory by presenting the genomic as an architectural builder, an organic system defined to mirror the genealogy theory. Methodology combines bibliography on typomorphology to present a comparison between genealogy and genomics while stimulating a new framework, allowing for extensive research into collective form, urban fabric, and the city. The steps are: 1) redefinition, 2) comparison, and 3) transformation in constructing genomic theory. Finding discovers a connection between genealogy and genomics to build a theoretical framework and to prompt collaboration between architects and planners to engage a deeper layer of typology and morphology of actual urban fabrics. Novelty is the genomic concept to encourage the utilization of surface and deep structures in typology for futuristic strategies.
