xyzpodcast x realrich sjarief (feat. ryoga dipowikoro)

“ I have invited Realrich for a sharing session and discussion, along with Jan and Sarah to talk about other ways of doing architecture in PAM Event that I co-moderated with Joyee and Haziq. This topic comes even stronger in this second conversation, co-hosted with my friend Ryoga to further explore the architectural knowledge from both practical and pedagogical perspectives. In the end of this interview session, Realrich asked, ‘ what is the best ingredient of Indonesian architectural DNA?” – We wish to invite you to reflect and share with us as well! – Some might not think the cultural identity or locality is an important reference point in the design process, but it is, perhaps, subconsciously designing the thought and mentality of a designer to translate into produced works for the users. Maybe my take to answer Realrich, that the best ingredient is actually the awareness and actualisation with the materiality as a realistic composition… and most of the time this composition might be an incomplete collage of unpredictably beautiful pieces of time and memories… for more to come.” – garyeow, xyz
