Material-Based Architectural Practice

Material and craftsmanship define the architectural practice of andyrahman architect. Architecture is developed through a deep engagement with material—particularly earth and brick—treated as active mediums with physical, historical, and cultural agency in shaping space.

Design is driven by hands-on experimentation and close collaboration with local artisans. Through tectonic exploration, modular systems, and construction techniques, architectural knowledge emerges from the act of making, where craftsmanship becomes a central mode of inquiry.

Through this material–craft dialogue, architecture is framed as an honest and contextual practice, where brick functions as both medium and language, shaping spatial expression through skill, precision, and sensitivity to material.

Principal as well as the founder of andyrahman architect. This bureau was made not long after Andy finished his study in Architecture Major at ITS (Institut Teknologi Sepuluh November), Surabaya. Aside from actively speaking in the seminar, talkshow and architectural workshop in both national and international scale, Andy Rahman is also active in building a culture in Indonesian Architectural literacy.

In the architecture practice, Andy Rahman often involved in craftsmanship that explores local material, because during the process he frequently corresponds with craftsmen as the executor on the field. For him, the craftsman is colleague, discussion partner, and a place to study. This leads to awareness about Nusantara Architecture’s importance as an architecture that is worth to be presented in our land, Indonesia. The self-architecture searching process finally gave spiritual belief as never-ending reflection in his architecture works, and it is “Architecture as a path to return” .
