By 2032, about two billion people are expected to live in urban slums (Ooni & Phua, 2007). In Indonesia, according to the Ministry of Public Works in 2014, there is 38,431 ha of slums, and about 61.1% of them are in urban areas. Kampung Braga, which is located in the city of Bandung, has a heavy category slum level value, a low area quality index, fewer open areas, and an enclave village with low accessibility. After site analysis and literature study, urban acupuncture and space syntax theory were used. Urban acupuncture is an effort that aims to improve and maximize the improvement of the quality of life of urban village residents through small interventions. The application of urban acupuncture in Kampung Braga is useful for improving the quality of infrastructure and public facilities of the village by focusing on sensitive point aspects and creating places using a spatial analysis approach through DepthMapX software. The analysis and literature review results produce synthesis in the form of superimposition of the criteria for creating places and sensitive points. The superimposition results showed the two main anchors of the most optimal intervention in RW08, Kampung Braga. From these criteria, several indicators were developed, namely: typologies of activities, accessibility and circulation, open space, institutional and amenities, frontage, and public facilities. These indicators are shaded in one main concept: 'Patches!'. Patches elaborate on intangible intervention as well as tangible intervention. Intangible intervention is carried out in the form of activity and thematic circulation in accordance with the habits and abilities of residents who are improved in quality. Meanwhile, tangible intervention is the form of intervention in the form of several spatial typologies in order to achieve the main goal of making Braga Village a livable community. These building typologies include parasitic architecture, pop-up buildings, open spaces, and new residentials. Each typology is designed to answer the challenges that exist in Kampung Braga and is expected to achieve the objectives of this design. After re-analysis with DepthMapX, the design in this thesis showed the results of a twofold increase compared to the existing aspects of connectivity, integration, and agent analysis. In addition to the two main anchor locations in the North and South, the design increased the public open area from 2.8% to 6.7%. This thesis is a pilot project and iterations of the design in a study format so that the resulting product is in the form of an initial conceptual design. So that in the future further studies can be carried out to maximize the solution to the challenges in Braga Village.
