Documentary 01 | Studio Garasi - DNA of RAW DOT OMAH

This short movie is based on 2011-2015 setting. This cut is published together with launching or RAW Architecture's book titled "DNA of RAW DOT OMAH" in January 2026, the book is been written for 14 years since the beginning.

DNA of RAW DOT OMAH book took 14 years to complete, reaching 294 pages. It contains prototypes of residential designs. This is a phase that many architects and individual clients often go through. It also applies to Indonesian architectural firms in general, as well as global architects like Frank Lloyd Wright, Frank Gehry in America, and Laurie Baker in India, before moving on to broader, public projects.

Studio Garasi short movie highlight the importance of the growing studio system. Captures the dynamics of Studio Garasi RAW Architecture from 2010 to 2015. Amidst personal mental pressures, client demands as external factors, and cost issues as a studio reality, an important realization emerges: many things change, but one thing remains constant—DNA. This DNA is not just a common thread, but a regularity that persists, repeats itself, and persists amidst change. This fourteen-year process was used to explore, reread, and realize this DNA, leading to the birth of the OMAH Library in 2015.

The importance of including multiple perspectives. This video is also enriched by RAW DOT OMAH Team in 2011-2015, who provide perspectives explaining in RAW DOT OMAH that there are a sense of community within the hermitage, spiritual bonds, and finally, the goal of practice: Building architecture and passing on design knowledge to the next generation.

Ultimately, this short movie is a wake-up call—an exploratory search for a community of bureaucrats that requires a collaborative mindset, which becomes knowledge with a learner's attitude, with the aim of bringing this knowledge of architecture to life so it can be passed on, reread in late 2025-early 2026, and developed by future generations.
