About me
Kevin Harsono is an experienced architect passionate about urban, architectural, and interior design. Currently pursuing doctoral studies and working as a research assistant at the National Taiwan University of Science and Technology, he focuses on the practical application of topological interlocking for building envelopes and digital fabrication for building components.
In addition to his doctoral studies, he holds a master's degree in civil engineering with a major in property management from Petra Christian University in Surabaya, Indonesia, completed in 2018. His research on post-occupied residential buildings has provided valuable knowledge and expertise in this domain. Furthermore, he recently earned a second master's degree in architecture from the National Taiwan University of Science and Technology in 2022, with a research focus on the reusability of osteomorphic blocks as innovative building components.
Kevin is certified in Revit for Architecture, allowing proficient utilization of advanced architectural software for design and documentation. As a certified DGNB consultant, he comprehensively understands sustainable design principles and practices. Additionally, he uses Rhinoceros and Grasshopper for simulation and visual programming, and Ansys for finite element analysis.
He has been involved in an ongoing research project entitled "Auto-Replicating Robotic Assembly of SL Blocks for Hierarchical and Reconfigurable Construction," which is part of the Program for Project-Related Personal Exchange (PPP) between DAAD and NSTC from 2024 to 2025. This project involves a research group from Technische Universität Darmstadt (DDU) in Germany and the National Taiwan University of Science and Technology (NTUST) in Taiwan. Another project, "The Hierarchical Design and Parallel Construction Using SL Chains," proposed to the National Science and Technology Council (NSTC). The primary objective of this research is to thoroughly explore and harness the hierarchical construction capabilities embedded in SL Chains. This project aims to assess the potential of SL Chains in constructing complex and sophisticated structures with hierarchical frameworks and to evaluate the advantages of prefabricating SL-block components in parallel during the construction process.
Kevin has participated in and presented at several international conferences, including the 5th International Conference on Civil and Building Engineering Informatics (ICCBEI) on June 20, 2023, in Bangkok, Thailand, and the Conference on Computer-Aided Architectural Design Research in Asia (CAADRIA) on April 23, 2024, in Singapore. Moreover, he has authored a total of ten papers, encompassing both journal and conference publications, during his academic tenure, with four papers credited to him as the first author.
With a diverse academic background, extensive project experience, and numerous certifications, Kevin possesses a wealth of knowledge to contribute to architectural projects. His dedication lies in crafting environmentally friendly, energy-efficient, and sustainable designs, aiming to make a tangible positive impact, especially within the architectural domain.
