Maulana Murdan

There are similarities between China World Trade Center Tower in Beijing, China, and Telkom Landmark Tower in Jakarta. In both buildings, there is a Maulana Murdan’s signature.

Maulana Murdan, Principal at Woods Bagot, a global design and consulting firm in San Francisco, started his career since 1995. The graduate architect of the Faculty of Architectural Engineering, ITB, has proved that Indonesian college graduates can compete in the world of international work.

Along with eighteen years of international experience in large, mixed-use projects, his architecture career has given him the opportunity to design projects across the globe. With extensive experience in Singapore, where he worked for seven years, as well as projects in Indonesia, Malaysia, India, China and Middle East.

Ideas, Innovation and Inspirational Thought will certainly encourage you.  

The role of architects is not really limited to designing buildings, Architects must also be able to elaborate various aspects such as art, technology, humanities, history, social politics, nature and provide meaning for those who live and work in that space or environment.

Identify your own uniqueness. Exploration of innovation and creativity, may not only an added value but also crucial in creating an ideal design.

The diversity of thinking and habit with different culture may an obstacle. Although in the end, that it creates a much more dynamic dialogue and all problems are solved by good design.

My passion and great enjoyment for architecture, and the reason the older I get the more I enjoy it. I believe, it can affect the people’s quality of life.

“American Aesthetics First. American classics and neoclassicists with art deco elements take it leads in 2018”.

Acquainted with the fashion, upcoming designing trends is about a luxurious modernity with elements of neo-art deco. This is a partial return to the 70-ies of the last century, but with a cleaner and simple stylistics. Hence a new round of fashion for vintage furniture, but not the 50's, as it was before, but approximately 60-70. Another trend in 2018 is the use of graphics in the interior. Topical combinations of white with black, green with black, pink and black. In the decor, it can be sculpted objects with simple geometric shapes, graffiti on walls, black and white paintings and photographs. There is growing interest in simple geometric shapes and clean lines in the proportions and configuration of rooms, the surface finish.

However, in conjunction with expensive materials. Again in favor of expensive fabrics and leather, as it was in the era of art deco, precious wood, marble. At the peak of fashion - fabric wallpaper and wall panels made from the same fabric or expensive wood. Choose mostly warm metals - copper, brass. Interesting will be a combination of marble and metal, various brass parts, metal sculptures, a combination of various parquet patterns or parquet layout with metal inserts.

A popular trend is the complication of the internal architecture of the walls with additional punchings, edging, cornices, moldings. Simple wallpaper is now out of fashion. They are replaced by expensive fabric. Wall panels are also in demand, especially from valuable wood. In modern design windows, doors, floors are fashionable to make of wood. The design of the doors should be modern, but with a certain reference to art deco - in the geometry of lines, layout, use of expensive wood species.

In the design of rooms you can use many glossy surfaces. Along with modern, popular are Scandinavian interiors, classical, modern Parisian. But the fashion trend

is American aesthetics. Interiors are becoming popular in the style of American classics and neoclassicists with art deco elements.

Jordana Fortaleza

One day, five years ago, while eating a sandwich from a food truck, Jordana Fortaleza had an idea: What about a mobile boutique, or, as she calls it, a "truck-and-mortar store"?

She and her business partner bought a van on Craigslist and opened J.D. Luxe, a Los Angeles-based lifestyle brand and fashion house on wheels. Fortaleza says they've received tickets and even had the truck impounded, but the city has let the young entrepreneurs keep on truckin'.

In the video above, Fortaleza explains the importance, as a small fashion brand, of curating items from local designers, especially American ones. In today's world, she says, many people want to know the origins of their products and who made them, as opposed to buying mass-produced items.

Fortaleza also reveals which social media platform is most important for fashion businesses.

M I U M O S A Shoe

M I U M O S A, a Brand to Know? Classics High Heels, Made in Indonesia.

Finding right shoe should be not unlike finding a lover. Go toward the thing that excites you the most. Stand up straight. Keep your chin up. Spend some time practicing. But don’t obsess over mechanics. Novices worry about balance, fear missteps, fret over seeming too tall or giraffelike. High heels are some sort of magnetic orbit of beauty. Step into them, and you become the gravitational center. Focus on acting the part of a graceful woman. You have to feel elegant to look it.
