Andra is the first Indonesian architect to be featured at the prestigious Venetian Biennale. He brought “Elevation” back to Indonesia to become part of “Matter and Place”, which explores the relationship between people and place, featuring six large-scale works by Indonesian and international artists.

Nature displays lessons in pattern, texture, colour and art composition that sooth the soul and spark innovative thinking. At the end of the discussion, Andra reveals that his long held dream project, to design a museum, is finally coming about. “I hope everything goes well and that the building will be open to the public. Andra Martens Design Studio is a full service interior design firm, established in 2006 and currently serving homeowners in and around Toronto, Canada. This farmhouse is part of sustainable eco community-Ikigai located in Vikarabad. Together with our team of architects, builders, tradespeople and artisans, AMDS will help ensure a well-crafted, beautifully detailed, intelligent and functional interior with timeless appeal.

This rattan weaving was made with a holographic technique and inspired by the traditional weaving technique of the Dayak tribe in Kalimantan. Andra also presents how the unique diversity and history of architecture in Indonesia are fundamental to understand the contemporary way of living in harmony with the environment. Interior environments have an enormous impact on the social and emotional well-being of those living and working in them. As the renovator of my own homes, I know first hand how design can affect the dynamic of a space and I also know how unexpected costs can creep up and put pressure on a budget.

Aside from that, Andra told us that “Elevation” is one of the strategies on how to master a 5 x 5,5 of space and to make an impression from the beginning to the end when people inside a space. “When you enter this installation, not only you will see the Indonesia’s vernacular architecture, you will also experience the Andramatin studio office space. You get an alley when you enter, there’s textures from the weaving, you get natural lighting, but also there’s some space in shadows, there’s different level of heights, and your sense will be heightened. “I thought if I could survive at the lowest condition, I would be fine for the rest of my life. I had to be positive and have some courage to set up my own studio.”Andra won a project with LeBoYe design and built Dia Lo Gue in Kemang.

Known for his clean and modern approach to architecture, his work has always emphasised a sense of harmony with the environment. He’s one of the founders of AMI (Arsitek Muda Indonesia, or Young Architects of Indonesia) and this has put him in the vanguard of progressive Indonesian architecture. Andra started her Design Studio over fifteen years ago on the charming island of Belvedere, California just across from the Golden Gate Bridge and San Francisco. She’s a native Alaskan, long-time California resident and now a Canadian transplant. She’s had the pleasure of experiencing some of the most beautiful, natural places on earth that intrinsically inform her interior design sensibility. She’s fascinated by the relationship between the natural and built environments.

Whatever level of involvement you prefer, we have the capability to manage your project with good communication and various online tools. Surprisingly enough, his journey in architecture was not entirely based on passion in the beginning. He studied Architecture at Parahyangan University Bandung, but this subject wasn’t his only choice.

“Elevation” was featured at the 16th International Architecture Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia in 2018. The work was awarded a special mention, as “a sensitive installation that provides a framework to reflect on the material and form of traditional vernacular structure”.

We intend to avoid plastering and painting the exteriors. Exposed concrete with filler slab are other techniques which are being explored here for this project.

“Before you got into university, you had to do a test to determine which major suited you best,” Andra recalls. “I scored well for both medicine and architecture, so naturally I applied for those two types of major in university. I got accepted as both a Medicine major at Padjajaran University and also for Architecture at Parahyangan.

She said that they did not benefit the city's residents because they only visited for a "couple of hours", ate meals at "international brands" and had "little time" to visit museums. "The polluting cruise is not in line with Amsterdam's sustainable ambitions," she wrote on Twitter. The proposal was adopted by a large majority of the city's council, which is run by a coalition of the centrist Democrats 66 party (D66), the social democratic PvdA and the GroenLinks environmentalists. “Although sustainable marine fuels and technologies are not yet available at scale, cruise lines are addressing these challenges with significant investments and innovative approaches,” the statement said.

The main cruise terminal on the River IJ, which is adjacent to the city’s main train station, will close as a result of the ban. Besides the influx of tourists in the city, the environmental footprint of the large cruise ships docking in the town is a primary concern. In addition, Amsterdam has a reputation as one of Europe's most notorious cities, famed for its cannabis cafes and red light district, with around 22 million tourists flocking there every year. In recent years, city officials have sought to reinvent the image of the Dutch capital by reducing party tourism and upping their sustainability stakes.

The council claims cruise ship vessels are not conducive to the city's efforts to limit tourism and boost sustainability, according to a statement from the Democrats 66 party. Amsterdam’s latest measure against out-of-control tourism and worsening pollution is closing down a cruise ship terminal in the city center. The Dutch city’s municipal council voted on Thursday (July 21) to restrict large ships from docking in the center with aims to eventually close the terminal, the BBC reported. Amsterdam’s city council has voted to ban cruise ships in its latest attempt to curb mass tourism and pollution.

Amsterdam wants to decrease the number of visitors—or, at the very least, attract those who won’t create headaches for residents. To that end, earlier this year, the city launched a “stay away” advertising campaign targeting poorly behaved tourists. The trade group said about 1 percent of Amsterdam’s visitors arrive by cruise ship every year and noted that cruise tourism contributes about 105 million euros to the city every year. Industry group CLIA has clarified that cruise ships are currently still being welcomed to the city, and upcoming cruises with scheduled stops in Amsterdam are still allowed to port there.

In 2019 the city introduced a tourist tax on cruise ship passengers which, at the time, led to lines including MSC Cruises, P&O Cruises and Cunard replacing or canceling calls at Amsterdam. With 20 million tourists each year, some of whom are attracted by the city’s reputation as a party destination, Amsterdam has over time become a victim of its own popularity, reported BBC. Dick de Graaff, director of Cruise Port Amsterdam which operates the terminal in the city centre, told the news agency that the company had taken note of the vote and is awaiting the municipality’s next move. The council’s call is to relocate the terminal – and we await a follow-up from the alderman on investigations,” he wrote in an email response. Amsterdam is one of the biggest cruise ports in Europe, which annually welcomes 700,000 cruise passengers and hundreds of mega-ships.

Amsterdam’s city council voted last week to ban cruise ships from docking at the city’s main terminal. Officials hope the decision will help curb the number of tourists roaming around the Dutch capital, as well as protect the environment from the vessels’ emissions, reports the New York Times’ Isabella Kwai. Amsterdam's city council on July 20 voted to ban cruise ships from the center of Amsterdam in order to limit tourism and ease pollution in the Dutch capital.

And residents of Key West voted to ban giant ships in late 2020 — though that vote was overturned the following year. Amsterdam voted to ban cruise ships in an effort to cut back on the inflow of tourists and reduce pollution from the giant vessels. The number of tourists arriving by cruise ship pales compared to those visiting the city through the Amsterdam Schiphol Airport on cheap, extremely polluting short-haul flights. However, the council believes banning cruise ships will send out a message that it is serious about limiting tourism. The Dutch capital’s council voted on Thursday to restrict the jumbo ships from docking in the city and aims to close its central cruise-ship terminal, according to a municipality spokesperson. The timeline and details of implementation will be decided after consultations with various stakeholders, the spokesperson said.

“This will take some time, so at the moment we cannot give any details on how or when the proposal will be implemented,” she wrote. "This has to be discussed with our partners within the North Sea Canal area. This will take some time, so at the moment we cannot give any details on how or when the proposal will be implemented." The campaign, targeting young British men, involved online advertisements warning people searching for getaways to Amsterdam of the “consequences of antisocial behaviour and excessive drug and alcohol abuse”. De Graaff said that the Amsterdam terminal expects 114 ships to stop there this year and 130 next year. The city has outlined its aim to find nightclub locations such as disused tunnels and garages to develop the talent of "creative young people who want to organise something at night".

Barcelona—Barcelona's regional government last year said it will limit cruise liners arriving at what was once Europe’s busiest cruise terminal. The city has struggled with over tourism since travel resumed post-Covid, Bloomberg reported, and short-term visitors from cruise ships aren’t seen as overly helpful to the local economy. Pollution was also a concern for the Spanish port—Barcelona was the European city most polluted by cruise ship emissions in 2019, per Bloomberg, and in 2017 there were 32.8 tons of sulfur oxides emitted at the port. "[Cruise pollution] does not match the sustainable ambitions of our city," D66 politician Ilana Rooderkerk said in a statement. "In addition, cruise ships in the city center do not fit into Amsterdam's task to reduce the number of tourists. In other words, Amsterdam sails better without cruises."

For now, he said, “It is business as usual at the terminal.” Cruise Port Amsterdam also operates the river cruise terminals near the city center, but it wasn’t immediately clear whether those docks would need to move as well. “There is certainly no immediate ban on ships, let alone an immediate closure of the terminal,” Dick de Graaff, director of Cruise Port Amsterdam, said in a statement sent to AFAR. He added that the cruise port is expecting to welcome 125,000 cruise ship passengers this year, and 175,000 cruise ship passengers next year. French Polynesia—It's been 18 months since the government of French Polynesia banned cruise ships carrying more than 3,500 passengers at any of the country's ports, including at popular destination Bora Bora. Tahiti now only welcomes ships with fewer than 2,500 passengers and those with more than 1,200 can't dock at all in Bora Bora, according to Conde Nast Traveler.

Amsterdam will bar cruise ships from docking in the city center as part of a broader effort to curb pollution and reduce the large numbers of tourists who visit the Dutch capital.

The move, to ban ships from the city's central cruise terminal, comes after Amsterdam launched a "stay away" campaign to discourage British party-goers and banned the smoking of cannabis on the streets of its famous red light district.

Santorini—Santorini started limiting the number of cruise ship passengers allowed per day to 8,000 in 2019. Santorini also saw spikes in air pollution in 2018, according to The Independent, which the Hellenic Ornithological Society blamed on the cruise ship industry's use of heavy fuel oil. Amsterdam Mayor Femke Halsema complained last year that cruise ships brought nothing substantial to the city, BBC reported, only letting visitors hit the streets for a few hours of partying before they were called back on board. For its part, the cruise industry is offering potential solutions to help ease the environmental impacts of the ships, like upgrading the current Amsterdam port with shore power to cut the amount of pollution emitted while vessels are docked, according to CLIA’s statement. Such efforts would likely be actioned through multiple phases over the next few years.

Other measures include banning people from smoking weed in the narrow streets of its red light district and a proposal to move out of the city center many of the windows where scantily-clad prostitutes stand. The mayor of Marseille, France’s largest cruise port, has recently denounced cruise lines, saying their air pollution is “suffocating” the city. Amsterdam (Netherlands) is taking decisive action to alleviate the strain of over-tourism by significantly reducing the number of river boat cruises permitted to dock in the city. As part of a comprehensive plan comprising "a hundred" measures, the city aims to curtail the influx of cruise ships to its waterfront. “The city’s executive branch still needs to work out the details and it was unclear when the measure might be implemented.

Cruise ships have become a symbol of the problem, with more than 100 mooring in the capital every year. ✋ Targeting young British men with the “Stay Away” campaign, warning those searching for getaways to Amsterdam of the “consequences of antisocial behaviour and excessive drug and alcohol abuse,” including fines, arrest, criminal records, hospitalisation, and health issues. The Cruise Lines International Association, a trade group representing the cruise industry, did not respond to a request for comment. "It's not a form of tourism we welcome or don't welcome - it's a form of behaviour. What we do not welcome is people who come here on a vacation from morals.

Holland America Line’s ms Rotterdam is scheduled to make nine visits, making a total of 15 visits for Holland America Line. Norwegian Cruise Line also has 15 calls scheduled this year, six of these will be from the cruise line’s flagship, Norwegian Prima. Mayor Femke Halsema has been spearheading a campaign to discourage visitors from taking what she has called a “vacation from morals”. The decision comes amid a wider crackdown on the tourist influx and sense of disruption they bring to Amsterdam, a city famed for its red-light district and coffee shops that sell marijuana. More than 3.8 million passengers have gone through the Cruise Port Amsterdam since 2000, its website says, and more than 2,100 ships have docked in that port. In order to cultivate the skills of “creative young people who want to organise something at night,” it has stated its intention to locate nightclub settings such as abandoned tunnels and garages.

Amsterdam has banned cruise ships from docking in the city centre in its latest attempt to cut tourism and pollution. AMSTERDAM - Amsterdam voted to ban cruise ships, in an effort to cut back on the inflow of tourists and reduce pollution from the giant vessels. Cruise Lines International Association, an industry trade group, says in a statement that 1 percent of visitors to Amsterdam arrive via cruise ships, which contribute some 105 million euros to the city each year. Additionally, the group says that the terminal and port have pledged to “undertake investments worth millions of euros in port infrastructure and shoreside electricity for the long-term.” Whether those changes would be enough to address city officials’ concerns is unclear. In 2021, Italy’s government said large cruise ships would no longer be allowed to sail directly into Venice. Dubrovnik, in Croatia, took steps several years ago to limit the number of cruise passengers visiting at once.
