yu sing.

Graduated from Institut Teknologi Bandung in 1999, he then, together with a college friend, established an architecture design studio. Yu Sing has always been actively joining in various architectural competitions, which many of them he won. And since, he got frequently invited to give public lectures, seminars and workshops by architecture colleges in Indonesia.

In 2008, answering his life long search for meanings, Yu Sing established akanoma, an independent architecture design studio that provides affordable designs for the middle and lower income families. He has also continuously been working with young apprentices and students catering the dream of middle-lower income families to have their own architect-designd houses. 

By the year 2009, Yu Sing published ‘Mimpi Rumah Murah’, a book of affordable houses.

Akanoma itself has four main design philosophy:

1. Put forth architecture for all
2. Bring traditional architecture forward
3. Build nature-culture-economy-architecture interdependency
4. Promote eco-tourism along the locals
