Ridwan Kamil Biography
Mochamad Ridwan Kamil was born on October 4, 1971 in Bandung, Indonesia. He spent almost his entire life in Bandung where he went to public schools and studied architecture at Indonesia’s leading state engineering school, the Bandung Institute of Technology.
After obtaining his college degree, he went to the United States to apprentice at architectural firms before winning a scholarship in 1999 to study at the College of Environmental Design, University of California, Berkeley in the United States.
Kamil graduated in 2001 with a Master of Urban Design degree and work experience at a Berkeley government department. He obtained a Doctor (honoris causa) in Public Administration degree from Dong-a University in 2019 for his role in developing a dynamic governance system for West Java Province.
After working as an architect in Hong Kong, in June 2004 Kamil and his partners founded Urbane, an architecture firm based in Bandung, West Java. He introduced modern designs into his work that range from commercial buildings and university towers to museums and mosques. He is also known for creating open public spaces in crowded residential areas in Bandung as his pro bono work.
He stands at an appealing height of 1.71m and has a good body weight which suits his personality.
He was also the mayor of Bandung from 2013 to 2018. As an architect, he designed iconic structures in Indonesia and other countries in Asia with his Urbane architectural firm and lectured at the Department of Architecture, Bandung Institute of Technology.
In 2006, Kamil was the winner of the British Council’s Young Creative Entrepreneur Award, representing Indonesia in the International Young Design Entrepreneur of the Year award. Urbane Indonesia was listed in the BCI Asia Top 10 Awards from 2008 to 2010 and again in 2012.
He was the pioneer of the ‘Indonesia Berkebun’ (Gardening Indonesia) movement to build amateur gardens in the cities of Indonesia. As of 2011, the community project is established in fourteen cities in Indonesia, with membership approaching 4000.
Ridwan Kamil stepped into politics ahead of the 2013 Bandung mayoral election as a surprise candidate endorsed by the Islamist Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) and the nationalist Great Indonesia Movement Party (Gerindra), two rising parties from different ends of Indonesia’s political spectrum that united to reform the city and prevent the position to go into the hands of the big parties at that time. Under the big parties, Bandung had been racked by corruption scandals.
Kamil’s victories in 2013 and 2018 proved that an unaffiliated candidate could win in Indonesian elections if the person has popular appeal, cultivated through strong media campaigns, and good communications with parties of all stripes.
On 18 January 2022, Kamil announced his intention to run as a presidential candidate. Since he is an independent politician and realizing it is currently impossible for an independent politician to run for a presidential campaign in Indonesia, he hoped that there would be any political party that would take him as the presidential candidate.
On 20 January 2022, Joko Widodo expressed his intention to become an architect and had experience in regional managing and governing as the future CEO of the National Capital Authority of Nusantara, the future capital of Indonesia.
Ridwan Kamil’s brother is Erwin.
Ridwan Kamil’s father is descended from kyai Muhyidin known as Mama Pagelaran who is the founder of three Islamic boarding schools.
His father was the late Dr. Atje Misbach Muhjiddin, a professor at Padjadjaran University’s Faculty of Law.
He had two biological children, Emmeril Kahn Mumtadz (1999–2022) and Camilla Laetitia Azzahra (b. 2004), and one adopted child, Arkana Aidan Misbach (b. 2020).
Emeril died in Bern, Switzerland on 26 May 2022 at the age of 22, while he was swimming in the Aare river.
On 9 June, his body was found at the Engehalde dam in Bern. His death was the subject of much attention in Indonesia: his funeral in Bandung was attended by thousands and broadcast live on state TV
