        "summary": "The architectural landscape in Indonesia is becoming increasingly dynamic, with women now comprising 5,500 of the 27,000 members of the Indonesian Institute of Architects, representing 20% of the profession and signalling greater inclusivity in the creative industry ecosystem. This growth is highlighted at the upcoming ARCH:ID 2026 event, themed 'Synthesis Scheme: Collaborative Architecture Integration', which emphasises cross-disciplinary knowledge flow and features an all-female collaborated installation 'Paviliun Cahya' inspired by Raden Ajeng Kartini. The involvement of women brings collaborative, integrative approaches focused on harmony, enriching design processes with diverse, humanistic perspectives rooted in Nusantara architecture.",
        "content": "<p>JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - The architectural scene in Indonesia is\nbecoming increasingly dynamic. This is not only marked by the number of\narchitectural works but also by the growth in female architects.<\/p>\n<p>Out of around 27,000 members of the Indonesian Institute of\nArchitects (IAI), 5,500 are women.<\/p>\n<p>This 20% proportion paints a picture of a professional space that\ncontinues to grow to achieve fuller inclusivity.<\/p>\n<p>The growth in the number of female architects in Indonesia is seen as\na manifestation of cultural change within the creative industry\necosystem.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn this year\u2019s event, we are encouraging inclusive collaboration. I\nsee the synthesis theme reflecting the way women work. In the\narchitecture community, women are becoming more vocal and visible. This\nis real progress that continues to happen,\u201d said Afwina.<\/p>\n<p>The presence of these female architects brings a distinctive way of\nworking: collaborative, integrative, and emphasising harmony.<\/p>\n<p>This spirit also underpins the ARCH:ID 2026 event at ICE BSD City\nfrom 24 to 26 April 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Carrying the theme \u201cSynthesis Scheme: Collaborative Architecture\nIntegration\u201d, this exhibition stresses that buildings are an ecology\nwhere knowledge flows across disciplines without rigid barriers.<\/p>\n<p>One of the installations that stole the spotlight at the ARCH:ID 2026\npreview is \u201cPaviliun Cahya\u201d. This project is special because all the\ncollaborators involved are women.<\/p>\n<p>Commercial Director of in-Lite LED, Fransiska Darmawan, revealed that\nthe work is a tribute to the thoughts of Raden Ajeng Kartini.<\/p>\n<p>Fransiska views light as a medium that connects space with human\nperception, a transition process from absence to tangible presence.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe encourage women\u2019s involvement because diversity of perspectives\ncan enrich the creative process and bring more inclusive and humanistic\ndesign approaches,\u201d said Fransiska.<\/p>\n<p>In line with this vision, architect and artist Jessica Soekidi, who\ndesigned the pavilion, draws on the roots of Nusantara architecture.<\/p>",
