Antonius Richard Rusli, Founder and Principal of RAD+ar, shared his expertise with the next generation as a featured speaker at the Architalks: Business in Architecture event.
Organized by Yogyakarta Young Architects (@yyaf_id), this specialized session was part of their Meeting Marathon #13 Cycle, held on Saturday, August 23, 2025, at Cinépolis, Lippo Plaza Jogja.
The Architalks addressed the crucial balance required to bridge artistic vision with strategic business management in architectural practice. Drawing on his experience leading RAD+ar—a studio recognized globally for pioneering research-based, bioclimatic design—Rusli provided practical insights on establishing a successful, scalable practice.
His talk highlighted how emerging professionals can effectively integrate non-negotiable values like sustainability and rigorous research into a robust business model. This commitment to mentoring reinforced his belief that radical design and responsible business leadership are mutually dependent, guiding young architects toward a future where their creative and commercial goals align with a deep ecological and social responsibility
