Project descrip­tion

The San­ta Maria Karu­nia Bak­ti Church on Mengkait Island is a tes­ta­ment to col­lab­o­ra­tion, resilience, and com­mu­ni­ty spir­it. Fac­ing logis­ti­cal chal­lenges and the impact of the Covid-19 pan­dem­ic, the project brought togeth­er local com­mu­ni­ties and exter­nal part­ners to address the needs of the Catholic com­mu­ni­ty on the island. The church’s respon­sive design to the envi­ron­men­tal fac­tors like wind direc­tion and fresh­wa­ter scarci­ty reflects both the local cul­ture and prac­ti­cal con­sid­er­a­tions. Despite chal­lenges such as lim­it­ed mate­r­i­al avail­abil­i­ty, com­mu­ni­ca­tion bar­ri­ers, and the Covid-19 pan­dem­ic, the project embod­ies the spir­it of ‘gotong royong’—collective coop­er­a­tion. The active involve­ment of the indige­nous Oang Laot peo­ple under­scores the pro­jec­t’s sig­nif­i­cance to the entire com­mu­ni­ty. While chal­lenges per­sist­ed, the pro­jec­t’s suc­cess high­lights the pow­er of col­lec­tive effort and the poten­tial for pos­i­tive change in remote communities.
