Jakarta Cathedral: Architectural Animation of a Neo-Gothic Interior
This architectural animation explores the interior of Jakarta Cathedral, also known as Katedral Jakarta, through a digital study of its neo-Gothic architecture. It presents the cathedral’s spatial character and offers a perspective on the relationship between architectural form, proportion, detail, and light.
The animation provides a way to consider the interior as a connected spatial experience. It invites attention to the cathedral’s verticality, visual hierarchy, and the relationship between its architectural elements and liturgical focal points.
Presented within Herwin Gunawan’s portfolio, the study also provides context for exploring lighting design within sacred architecture. Its design considerations include revealing architectural details, supporting visual comfort, and creating an atmosphere for worship and contemplation while respecting the building’s historical character.
For architects, interior designers, lighting designers, and those interested in sacred spaces, the video offers a visual reference for considering how architecture and light can contribute to spiritual and liturgical experience.
