Semarang, dtap.undip.ac.id, – The Faculty of Engineering Undip has awarded another doctoral degree. This time it is a researcher, book author and lecturer. Rinaldi Mirsa, successfully defended his dissertation research. Under the supervision of Prof Sugiono Soetomo (Promoter) and Dr Mussadun as Co-Promoter 1 and Dr.-Ing Asnawi as Co-Promoter 2, the architecture lecturer at Malikussaleh University (Unimal) nicely delivered his presentation at the Dissertation Open Examination, Tuesday (13/2) at the Undip Postgraduate Building. Present as examiners were Prof. Singgih Tri Sulistiyono, Prof. Bambang Setioko, Dr. Titien Woro Murtini, Dr. Atiek Suprapti (Head of DIAP Department) and Prof. Gunawan Tjahjono from the University of Indonesia.
The research, which reveals the rise of the “bourgeoisie” in Laweyan Solo, is important for the body of knowledge, especially spatial architecture. The use and collaboration of space in this area provides new insights into the formation of space as a result of the expression, existence and actualisation of the building owner (Mbok Mase). This new colour and value in the community is what makes the novelty and strength of the Exclusivity theory.
The author of the book “Elements of Urban Spatial Planning”, was given a Very Satisfactory predicate by the Examination Team with a GPA of 3.81 in his dissertation entitled “Architectural Space: Mbok Mase Laweyan”. The Dean of the Faculty of Engineering, Ir. M. Agung Wibowo, Ph.D in his speech also hoped that the harmonious relationship between Undip and Unimal would continue with the presence of the new doctor of architecture. Great expectations were also conveyed by the Promoter (Prof Sugiono Soetomo), so that the academic achievements for dr. Rinaldi Mirsa, ST, MT must continue to be improved, in writings as well as in rank, considering that he is a lecturer with a relatively young age.
The success of the promovendus further adds to the list of doctoral alumni in the Architecture and Urban Studies Doctoral Programme, after previously PDIAP graduated Ely Nurhidayati as the 28th doctor, this time Rinaldi became the 29th.
