Who We Are

An architectural designer who dreams of being a postman, hoping that the footprint he left in various communities can pronounce the gospel of Christ. Holding a strong belief that architects in the coming decades should positioned themselves as change capturers and truth finders. And only can a change capturer design habitable built space under the rapidly changing global situation. Technologically advanced design tools proliferate in the industry recently. Yet, without an accurate narration of the truth as foundation, none of the design decision can be justified. Having a vision of designing a home not a house in mind, I made a bold hypothesis that any architect who does not value the time spent with family can never design a good home.

With a background in advanced architecture, my work focus on creating immersive experience as a participatory approach to design architecture in the post-natural-disaster context. Exploring the use of generative design as a space planning methodology to iterate through programmatically complex urban and architectural scenarios, and to speculate how a planar interpretation of the human and algorithmic perspective can lead to intervention that contribute to the growth of settlements, redefining our urban landscape.

LAST GIFT, the name of my master thesis, and also the development of a system that is ongoing, represents a gift the important lost ones of the surviving victims of a disaster, who knows every detail about the living habits of the person the architect is designing for, would have urged the architect to prepare for their close ones. Imagine what is the “home” that the people who experience catastrophe have lost? Is it their houses? Or is it their important ones? My project encourages architect to be present in the aftermath, to accompany those in needs and to embrace them as family member in the journey of hardship, until they regain their strength to walk the path ahead of them.

If someone asks an AI to generate a house after studying every single housing in this world, it masters, but it will just create another poor one since 90% of housing in the world doesn’t give people a pleasant living condition. Nevertheless, only we are empathetic human.
