Beginning with Gedung Sate
Bandung’s landmark became the architectural anchor of the experience. An existing model was adapted in Cinema 4D so its distinctive silhouette remained recognisable within the transformed city.
A city reimagined

The starting point
A recognisable place in a new atmosphere
Created for Scuad’s online event on 13 March 2021, the project places the familiar architecture and street culture of Bandung inside a stylised cyberpunk environment that visitors could explore through a web browser.
02
Bringing in street life
Food carts were designed as original props and arranged around the building. Their smaller scale and familiar form bring everyday Bandung into the larger architectural scene.
03
From Unity to the browser
The environment was assembled in Unity, where lighting, colour and urban elements established the night-time mood. A WebGL build then turned the scene into an explorable browser experience.

Reflection
Virtual Bandung explores how a real place can stay culturally recognisable while taking on a very different visual identity. Combining a landmark with everyday street elements gave the speculative environment a stronger sense of place.
