Synopsis

Therefore, I Am is a philosophical memoir that weaves together personal reflection, architectural thinking, and existential inquiry into a meditation on identity, time, and becoming.

Written originally at the age of nineteen and revisited a decade later, the book unfolds as a dialogue between two versions of the author: the idealistic young thinker searching for meaning and the older self shaped by experience, doubt, and growth. Through this temporal conversation, the work explores how identity is not fixed but continuously constructed through time, choices, and encounters with the world.

Structured in four parts: Seeds of Wonder, Integrity vs. Society, Masters and Mentors, and Looking Forward, the book traces the evolution of a creative mind navigating personal ambition, societal expectations, and intellectual influence. Drawing from philosophy, literature, architecture, and lived experience, the essays examine how cities, systems, and design quietly shape human existence and self-understanding.

More than a design book, Therefore, I Am proposes that design is not merely aesthetic production but an infrastructure for being — a framework through which individuals negotiate meaning, freedom, and responsibility within collective life.

Blending memoir, manifesto, and philosophical reflection, the book speaks to readers who feel lost, questioning, or in transition, offering companionship rather than instruction.

Ultimately, it is an invitation to embrace uncertainty, reclaim agency over time, and recognize that identity emerges not from certainty, but from the continuous act of becoming.

Sinopsis

The process leading up to the DNA formation of RAW >O+ OMAH was like a game of blending various aspects of personal identity and skills as an architect, craftsmen, and librarian to reach a single point. This process involves an effort to balance the right and left sides of the brain. It includes long periods of practice and intense interaction with the team in the studio, workshop and library. The presence of Bare Minimalist as our first completed project marked the beginning of enriching this process, with the involvement of clients, architect, engineers, craftsmen and eventually librarian, further complementing the existing network of relationships. Formulating a genesis that underlies an established practice pattern is certainly not an easy task. This explains the lengthy time required to publish Bare Minimalist in the form of a book. The DNA of RAW >O+ OMAH could perhaps serve as a reference for newly-founded studios in formulating the design method which also acts as an initial prototype then further develop the design ecosytem, with the note that this reference needs to be refined to suit the most appropriate context for the reader.

Sinopsis

Saya adalah orang yang menjalani apa yang ada di depan saya, klien, teknologi bangunan, kontraktor dengan sederhana. Sistem kerja dikordinasi langsung oleh Yudi Atang selaku pengawas tukang. Proses pekerjaan relatif berjalan lancar sampai rumah akan ditempati. Saya menghitung bahwa rumah ini ada sisi menghadap barat dan itu adalah sisi yang terbuka dan besar. Prediksi saya bahwa pohon di sisi barat akan menghalangi cahaya matahari sore dan memberikan siluet bayang-bayang di saat-saat terang menuju gelap, saat-saat klien saya ini akan beristirahat dan menikmati malam-malam indah dengan keluarganya. Saya menghitung benar beserta tim saya, setiap garis lengkungan juga lengkungan-lengkungan kecil yang konsisten diulang-ulang menjadi sebuah tata bahasa bentuk untuk rumah ini supaya rumah ini memiliki karakter yang kuat – Realrich Sjarief

Synopsis

This book was born into a chapter about the dialogue of tectonic and detailed experiments with various materials that Realrich Sjarief and his entire RAW team did when designing and building his works. Tectonics which has its own grammar, distinctive grammar. This book does not want to be a narcissistic or theoretical book, but hopefully it can be a more real architectural learning process for younger students, prospective architects, or novice architects. This book will also be the starting point, the gateway to the design methodology carried out in RAW and the opening point of the archipelago 4.0 craftsmanship.

Sinopsis

The Guild portrays an architectural journey as a phenomenon. The journey is not only illustrated by a teamwork with the product of the architecture work alone, but weaved in the form of story with all of its griefs and lessons that have been attained. The introductory chapter begins with the memory of the former office and how the limitation becomes both spatial boundaries and design challenges. The first chapter explains The Guild as a microcosm and the interpretations that arised from. The next chapter is a transition of problem approach taken by RAW when completing complex designs in the Teluk Naga area, and how opportunities become a hidden passage towards something new. The next two chapters undermine the lessons received with an analogy that is common to everyday life and a fairy tale about the responsibilities of the architect’s profession.
