Extending the design arm of the family company (AKSEN, established in 2001 by our dad), I founded Aksen China and we work with our sister company in Indonesia. AKSEN (China and Indonesia)’s scope of projects ranges from experimental architecture and built environment projects, to artisanal design work which is encapsulated in KALA Artisanal brand. Craftsmanship, sustainability and design research are at the core of the company value. Follow growing KALA design and products on Instagram @kalaartdecor , on WeChat official account: kala_artisanal or KALA’s tag on this website. We are also brewing a non-profit platform for architects around the world, called AWB- Architects without Borders. More to publish soon on AWB. My research interests include: computational design, design cognition and processes, bamboo architecture, design pedagogy, Augmented Reality and combinations of the above.
I obtained my doctoral degree in the University of Nottingham UK in 2018. A typical year for me is spent in three countries: China, UK and Indonesia.I completed PGCHE (Postgraduate Certificate in Higher Education- a British recognised HE teaching qualification from Falmouth University UK) in 2020 whilst expanding my portfolio in architecture & design and my teaching portfolio. Currently I am serving as an Assistant Professor in Architecture in XJTLU (Xi’an Jiaotong – Liverpool University) in a beautiful city Suzhou, twenty minutes away from Shanghai. I also serve the department as the Deputy Head and Digital Design and Fabrication research lab coordinator.
Indonesian-born, with great enthusiasm for architecture, photography, road cycling, triathlon, flying quadcopters/UAV, travelling, camping and scuba diving. Had the opportunity to study in Indonesia and United Kingdom, and worked in Singapore and China.
