PDW joined IndoBuildTech Surabaya, for a session titled βBeyond Building: PDW, Inside Our Practiceβ, led by Irene.
The session took place on Friday, 18 September 2026, at Archi-Lab, Grand City Convex, Surabaya.
Agitha spoke about how PDW values internal collaboration, and how it shapes the way teams work together. Roy shared his approach to design by values, where decisions are anchored in what a project should stand for. Gito walked through participatory planning from an architectβs point of view.
The conversation continued with the audience. One student asked what they need to learn to be able to do participatory planning. Gito admitted it was a tricky one: a facilitator needs more than design skill. It takes the humility to see what βgoodβ means like to the community, not only to the architect.
Thank you, Surabaya, for being part of our journey.
