WISNU [W] WISDANTIO

Wisnu Wisdantio is an Architect who is passionate about research activities and adventures to learn about science, ecology, history, culture, and local wisdom. A few subjects underlie his various thoughts when engaging in activities and work, from his time studying at Atma Jaya University in Yogyakarta to the present, where he spends most of his time working as an Architect, urban designer, and urban planning analyst within his own studio, “WieStudio”.

His enthusiasm for research and adventure activities drove Wisnu, or “Wawies,” to develop an interest in travelling and self-learning photography, which he studied autodidactically, leading him to explore creative documentation as a medium for telling stories and even as part of a research process. Eventually, it also allowed “Wawies” to develop his early works as a writer and an editor when joining www.landscapeindonesia.com in 2010, an open online platform to archive travellers’ notes when exploring Indonesia. It became a place for him to accomplish several projects as a researcher and travel writer on several travel e-book collaboration projects organised and self-published by www.landscapeindonesia.com

His works expanded widely after taking part in a long-term cross-disciplinary project called “Jogja River Project” which was organised by Lifepatch in 2012, a community-based organisation working in the creative and appropriate application in the field of art, science, and technology. Within that project, he got an opportunity to explore creative visual documentation methods to support a research process through the development of the DIY Panohead Tool as part of the development of 360-degree photo documentation techniques. Since then, Lifepatch has become his platform for most of his work lately while maintaining his daily routine of working in his small Studio as an Architect and Urban planner.

Nowadays, Wisnu or “Wawies” has developed various experiments and works, ranging from the exploration of various exhibition space designs, exploring the utilization of visual documentation as part of a research process and a medium for transferring knowledge, developing various interactive works based on scientific interpretation and research on site-specific projects, as well as explore any possibilities to bring architecture and urban design as part of various cross-disciplinary activities and community conversations.
