This artical english version from (Mengenal Thomas Karsten)
Herman Thomas Karsten (Amsterdam, Netherlands 22 April 1884 - Cimahi, Indonesia 1945) is an architect and urban planner of the Dutch East Indies. He is the son of a professor of Philosophy and Vice Chairman of the Chancellor ("Provost") at the University of Amsterdam, while his mother was a born in Central Java. Herman Thomas Karsten is a graduate engineer architect in Delft Technische Hoogeschool who entered the year l904. In this career he was a planner and advisor to several public construction projects in several cities when it began to grow due to the improving economy, among others, Batavia (Jakarta), Meester Cornelis ( Jatinegara) Bandung, Buitenzorg (Bogor), Semarang (Pasar Johar), Surakarta (Pasar Gede), Malang, Purwokerto, Palembang, Padang, Medan, Banjarmasin, and even to design a low-cost housing in the southwestern city of Magelang, namely Kwarasan. Karsten distinctive style is concern for the environment and respect for human values. He never forgot the interests of low-income, something that is rarely encountered in the Dutch period. Karsten influence in the development of the city is by the division of environment is no longer based on ethnicity, but economic classes, namely high, medium and low Karsten argues that urban planning is an inter-related activities (social, technological, economic, physical basis, etc.) that must be keselasaran be considered for the creation of the urban environment. Based on the background concept of town planning is always towards the urban theme of building the UK (a mixture of European culture or the Netherlands with a local or Java) Karsten considered the city as a living organism that continues to grow.
In the city development plan, Karsten importance to the existence city parks and open space, two things that seem now starting neglected. As a result of this philosophy comes the style of architecture 'Indies' popular in pre-independence. In Java Karsten plan nine of the nineteen cities that have local authorities. In Semarang Karsten apply the principles of planning patterns, penzoningan, the hierarchy of streets like in Europe. Semarang rise and fall of a small hill hill to the Old City which is located on the waterfront does look designed one of the fruits of thought Thomas Karsten. Since the founding of the Technische Hoogeschool in Bandung (ITB now) Karsten became one of the instructors. In 1941 he became professor. The first generation of architects Indonesia many are students. Politically, Karsten was the pro-independence, a stance that was taken only by a small circle of European descent (Indo) in his time. Unfortunately, he was captured by the Japanese occupation army in 1942 until he died in the internment camp Cimahi 1945. This aspiration to die in the land of Indonesia must be achieved even in a tragic situation.
