Summary
Putrikinasih Santoso is an R&D specialist and PhD candidate in Architecture at The University of Hong Kong, combining over a decade of practice in architecture, urban design, and urbanism across Indonesia and the Netherlands. Her doctoral research investigates roads and sidewalks as contested sites shaping post‑independence Jakarta, reflecting a rare focus on everyday infrastructure as political and spatial negotiators. She has led applied urban design work—including MRT Jakarta TOD guidelines—and directed R&D and archival initiatives at PDW, where she now curates institutional research, publications, and archival strategy. Comfortable moving between practice, academia, and publication, she founded RUBRIK to document Indonesian urban design discourse and has a proven track record of turning historical archives and masterplans into forward-looking research and design outputs.
