RAD+AR (Research Artistic Design + architecture) is an Indonesian-based group of architects, designers, and thinkers operating within the field of architecture, urbanism, research, and development – which focuses on bringing the idea of architecture as an art of utilizing space in the most provocative, utopian-research-based approach.

Formed from the curiosity of the advancement of Tropical Architecture by Antonius Richard Rusli, RAD+AR believes that in order to shape a better and more sustainable version of today’s challenges, architecture can profitably be one of the most worth-exploring fields.

RAD+AR explores and experiments to redefine the value of architecture in both globalization and localization. Beyond spaces and buildings, it connects history, narratives of cultures, expanding beyond the limits of what we call architecture. Collaboration across disciplines in each portfolio through systematic integration allows RAD+AR to continually innovate and experiment.
