INTRODUCTION
My architectural journey is rooted in a deep appreciation for Indonesia’s diverse cultural identity, as a developing national and its expression through architectural process and making. I received my formal education in University of Indonesia, where I received an award as the most outstanding student of the department of architecture, University of Indonesia in 2021.
In the pursuit of my career as an Architect, I am working under the guidance of Kengo Kuma, Tokyo from 2023. I learned how traditional essence and disicpline can move forward along with the digital/intelligence age.
This portfolio highlights my exploration of digital making and traditional process, showcasing the method of design in architectural realm for the creative / critical design journey.
