Awaludin Aryanto - Indonesian, Asia and the Pacific

2017 Winner | | Indonesian

I want to create a collaboration space that connect local artisan, makers, and marginalized communities in rural Indonesia with designers and young professional to create product from waste and build community business. We will optimize furniture industry, fashion industry and agricultural industry waste to develop new product that have high economic value. We will create crafts, fashion products, home decoration, and plastic packaging substitutes. Simultaneously, the space acts as a business accelerator to encourage the local community to build sustainable enterprises with the help of professional mentorship. The makerspace will be built in 4 regions in Indonesia that have different characteristics and cultural backgrounds. We will develop a replicable framework which can to be applied in other regions.

I am civil engineer mastering in hydrology, building structure, and project scheduling with 3 years of experience in PT Wijaya Karya. I have been working for Rumah Zakat and Indonesia Mengajar Foundation who work with rural community in Solo, Central Java and Majene, West Sulawesi. During my professional career, I have undertaken research on climate change and earthquakes. I am currently managing a social enterprise called Timba (www.kitatimba.com) focused on the design and community empowerment sector. We are working with local craftsman to improve new design of traditional product, and connect them with young professional to collaborate and create new product.
