A Celebration of Urban Design

A discussion forum was held and attended by Indonesian architects from multiple generations. The topic addressed was architecture being more than just buildings, which was the big idea of a well respected architect and a mentor to many younger ones, Mohammad Danisworo. The event was a part of a celebration series of Danisworo’s 80th birthday and 53 years of career in architecture. Later in this year, two books will be launched, “Architecture: Beyond Building” by PDW Architects and “Urban Design in Indonesia” by PSUD (Centre of Urban Design Studies) – both founded by Danisworo. The books are aimed to enrich the literature of Indonesian architecture. A celebration dinner followed, jazzed up with live music performance.
