Architects Under Big 3 #26 Oryza Angga Irawan

“Learning from Japan”

Mendapat kesempatan langka untuk mengikuti program pertukaran ke Jepang yang diprakarsai oleh Tadao Ando menjadi sebuah titik tolak bagi saya dalam memperkaya wawasan dan membuka mata akan perkembangan dunia arsitektur di luar Indonesia.

Jepang menjadi sebuah pembelajaran yang menarik dalam perjalanan berarsitektur saya. Saya dapat menikmati karya Tadao Ando dan memahaminya secara “live”. Selain itu, saya juga berkesempatan merasakan bagaimana atmosfir kerja yang terjadi di dalamnya melalui program internship. 

Berbekal dari pengalaman tersebut, kita harus mengambil setiap kesempatan yang ada, bahkan kesempatan kecil sekalipun.

Salam,

Oryza

“Learning from Japan”

Got a rare opportunity for an exchange program to Japan, initiated by Tadao Ando was a starting point for me in enriching and eye-opening into the development of architecture’s world outside of Indonesia.

Japan became an interesting learning in my architecture’s journey. I can enjoy the works of Tadao Ando and understand it lively. In addition, I also had the opportunity to feel how the work’s atmosphere through the internship program.

Armed with these experiences, we must take every opportunity, even the smallest chance though.
