Architecture Graduate — ITERA, Indonesia
I'm Rafi — I design spaces that begin with people, place, and context, then grow into conceptual, sustainable, and quietly futuristic architecture.

Plate 01 — Profile
I'm a fresh Bachelor of Architecture graduate from Institut Teknologi Sumatera (ITERA), with a strong interest in conceptual design and problem-solving. I believe architecture begins with understanding people, place, and context — long before it becomes a drawing, a model, or a building.
My practical grounding comes from an internship at LokaNata Aestetika Studio (LNA & Associates) in Bandung, where I worked across schematic design, 3D visualization, and project coordination. Alongside that, I've mentored first-year students as a lecture assistant, led divisions in campus-wide design competitions, and volunteered to design a community multipurpose hall that was actually built. I'm drawn to work that sits between the conceptual and the futuristic — without losing sight of the people who will use the space.
