Dear friends,
Om Swastiastu!
RMIT ARCHITECTURE + DESIGN ALUMNI REUNION EVENT
Welcome to Design Life Bali 2009!
Thank you for participating and making it happen! After less than 3 months of preparation,
inviting friends, guest speakers, calling resorts and artists, we are finally in our final couple of
days before the Big Design Life opening party!
What a relief!
Design Life has a humble beginning. It started of as our wants to get together with friends, and
re-connect with like-minded creative people from our RMIT days. Many of our friends are now
based in Asia, Australia and throughout the region; being designers in their own rights, doing the
things that they are passionate about! For most of us, working in this creative industries mean
full-on late hours work almost everyday! (Not that we are complaining! ;) but you know what we
are talking about!
So creating Design Life is meant to be a pause (a coma as what Made Wijaya called it) for us to
have a chance to get together with friends and get to know new friends. To be inspired by each
other’s wealth of experiences and celebrate our Design Lives! We hope that it will be a wonderful
exchange of ideas/experiences/networks for all of us across the creative disciplines, and that we
will come out of this refreshed, and ready to face the ‘world’ again!
During these past months, we have had the support and help from many dear friends. We would
like to especially thank Andrea Mina, Sand Helsel, and Ross Mcleod of RMIT, as well as our
International guest speakers Made Wijaya, John Hardy and Richard Hassell & Wong Mun Summ
of WOHA, who have all been very generous and inspiring. You helped to make this happen! To
Lina Ooi, Hadi, Winy Wijaya (who unfortunately will not be at the event this time), Thank you for
your exchanges of ideas and inputs for the event. A special thank to Sant Qiu who shared with us
important pointers on how to put this event together in such a short period of time. We love you!
We would also like to thank our team at Cush.Cush, Ayu Manik, Novianti, Martini, Komang Adi,
Eny, and others who have worked on this event. Thank you for sharing our enthusiasm!
Last but not least we thank our family for your timeless support! Thank you Mama, Sherrene and
Sherrie!! :) Big hugs!!!
It has been an awarding journey with many new found friends along the way and is well worth the
many late nights and delayed meals!!
Enjoy YOUR Design Life!
Om Santhi Santhi Shanti Om!

RMIT GUEST
Andrea Mina is Associate Professor in Interior Design and one of the School’s Director of
International Development. His teaching responsibilities include design tutor 4th year major
projects and theses and Design Studio leader at 2nd/3rd year levels. Andrea coordinates 1st year
Technical Studies and Study Abroad/Student Exchange activities; he is the International Student

has organised student travel studios to Morocco, Spain and India.
Sand Helsel is an Associate Professor in Architecture and the Co-Director of International
Development. She is the Associate Professor of Architectural Design - Expanded Field and is the
Expanded Field Stream Coordinator. Her teaching includes Expanded Field, Portfolio and Asian
Architecture and Urbanism Course Coordinator. She researches into Expanded Field which is a
cross-disciplinary design research stream within the RMIT School of Architecture and Design that
incorporates project based design research across the disciplines of art, architecture and
landscape architecture. “Instead of focusing upon the differences between the disciplines, we
capitalise on the common ground: the design methods, the scales and nature of engagement, the
sites for action, and the methods of production and dissemination of the research. The project is
inclusive rather than exclusive. An cross-disciplinary practice can identify the gaps that conventional practice has marginalised – as fertile sites for action. Broad areas of research include
public art and public space; ephemeral architectures; social, political and economic infrastructures; and a lateral approach towards social and environmental sustainability.”
Ross McLeod is a Senior Lecturer in Interior Design and the Research Director of the School of
Architecture and Design Furniture Laboratory.
Over the past twenty years Ross has worked as both a designer and as an academic, completing
a wide range of one-off and production furniture designs, interior architecture projects, exhibitions designs and sculptural works both locally and internationally.
As a lecturer he has been involved in innovative design studio education and program planning
at RMIT, University of Tasmania, Lasalle College Singapore and the University of Fine Arts and
Music in Tokyo.

RE-INVENTING BALI
INTERNATIONAL GUEST SPEAKERS
5 DECEMBER 2009 | 2 - 6 PM

GAYA ARTSPACE
Re-inventing Bali – International guest speakers
Bali is world famous for its beauty. Its rich culture is steep in tradition and rituals, its magical dances, its hypnotic music, its unique ceremonies, its simple religious yet open
minded people… Balinese landscapes, craftsmanship, tropical architectural design are all a reflection of this refined culture. With its unique culture, Bali has been able to attract
Designers from all over the world to come to Bali, and create a piece of Bali for themselves. It is fascinating to see how Bali has managed to keep re-inventing itself and remain
sustainable and uniquely Bali throughout these years. We believe Bali will continue to inspire Designers to create layers of ‘Bali’ which is very close to nature, spirit and humanity.
In this inaugural Design Life event in Bali, we are honored to present 3 creative and passionate individuals who have made a difference in Bali.
Made Wijaya
“TROPICAL INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL and
Post-Zen Depression”
John Hardy
“Green Life Green school Green building
Green future”
Richard Hassell + Wong Mun Summ
“Alila Uluwatu & recent works”
Made Wijaya was born Michael White in Sydney,
Australia. He has created more than 1000 gardens,
including legendary works for hospitality icons like Bali
Oberoi, Bali Hyatt, Amandari Resort and the recent
luxurious Bvlgari Resort, to name a few. He is a
recognized authority on tropical gardens and South East
Asian architecture, as well as a passionate writer who
brings the concept of tropical gardens to the world. He
has published numerous books, among them: The Best
of Stranger in Paradise 1996 – 2008; Balinese
Architecture: Towards an Encyclopaedia; Tropical
Garden Design; At Home in Bali; Modern Tropical
Garden Design; and Architecture of Bali – A Source
Book of Traditional and Modern Forms. He also
contributed to Tropical Asian Style and was the main
author of a pocket guidebook to Bali.
John Hardy is a designer and artist who has built a
jewelry empire under the John Hardy brand name. John
arrived in Bali with only a couple of hundred dollars in
his pocket in the early 70s. Noting the exquisite
craftsmanship of local artisans, he combined traditional
jewelry making techniques that goes back to thousands
of years with European Design, and has since then built
a huge cult following for the John Hardy brand all over
the world. Recently, John sold his share in pursuit of his
next venture, the revolutionary Green School and the
unique Bamboo construction company.
Australian Richard Hassell and Singaporean Wong Mun
Summ are the founders of multiple award-winning
Singapore-based architecture firm WOHA. Coming from
different background and culture, the partners have
been awarded with the prestigious Aga-khan award for
Architecture. In their recent award-winning Balinese
project Alila Villas Uluwatu, they have re-created their
version of Bali, artfully interpreting traditional Balinese
elements with modern aesthetic and eco-design.

Green School is founded by John Hardy and aims to
connect learning and creativity in an inquiry based
approach to education. The campus is built of
sustainable materials (Indonesian bamboo, traditional
mud walls, local alang-alang grass) and is
cooled/powered by sustainable energy solutions
(micro-hydro power, solar power, bio-diesel, and natural
air-conditioning).
Alila Villas Uluwatu is designed by award-winning
Singapore architectural firm, WOHA. The resort
comprising of 34 residential villas and a hotel with 40
villa suites was designed in 2004 and officially opened in
July 2009. The site is situated on the southern coast of
Bali where individual villas are tiered and oriented for
maximum exposure to the panoramic views of the sea
and the horizon. The architectural language combines
refreshing contemporary lines and detailing with
traditional materials that allude to the rich Balinese
culture and built heritage. The interiors are lushly
furnished and resonate with a soft, clean chic-ness that
contrasts with the rich and rugged gardens and site.
The word for temple in Bali is “pura”, which in Sanskrit
means “space surrounded by a wall”. The temple is
certainly the most important institution on the island and
the clearest illustration of the spirit of the Balinese
religion.
Learn more about the rules that dictate the intriguing
design of Balinese temple from its architectural and
sculptural articulation to its rituals, ceremonies & temple
etiquettes.*
*Dress appropriately before entering any temple. Women
should not wear shorts or bare their shoulders. Shoes
have to be removed while a traditional adat or sash must
be tied around the waist. If the temple requires a sarong
to be worn, there is always one for hire around the area.
Ladies take note; do not enter the temple if you are
menstruating. Anyone with a bleeding cut should also
avoid entry because there is a general sanction against
blood on holy soil.
The campus is remarkable with their unique application
of bamboo structures. The central building, "Heart of
School", is one of the largest bamboo structures in the
world and has an architectural beauty usually witnessed
only in cathedrals and opera houses.
This tour of Alila Uluwatu will be led by Richard Hassell
of WOHA who will be sharing his insights on the making
of the resort.

AFTERNOON SESSION
AMANDARI RESORT
13.30 – 15.00
Designed by Australian architect Peter Muller, Amandari was the second of Adrian Zecha's respected Aman resorts to be built in the 80’s. Amandari or ‘peaceful spirits,’
embraces the quintessence of Bali’s ancient striking traditions, reflecting the harmony and inner peace of a people whose lifeblood is a manifestation of a combined dedication
to virtuousness, warmth and inner prosperity. Designed as a Balinese village, Amandari in Ubud has river-stone walkways and high paras-stone walls. A visit to Amandari will
help us understand why its understated elegance and authentic Balinese design has inspired countless imitators until today!

“First and foremost, Begawan Giri is a home,” declares
founder Bradley Gardner, “albeit an extremely luxurious
one. That’s why it’s called a private estate, not a hotel.”
And it pushes the boundaries of hospitality.
A joint endeavor of the Royal Sukawati Family and
Japanese Cosmetics Company Shiseido, the elegant
Kirana Spa is a stand alone destination spa that offers
treatments fit for a king.

resort in Sayan, Ubud as “the hot hotel for the close of
