The fifth largest population in the world is rapidly expanding. For the
past seven decades, both Indonesian and international architects have
developed new ideas in order to fulfill the demands of the country's 250
million inhabitants, in line with economic progress. Imelda Akmal's
Architectural Guide Indonesia presents over one hundred must-visit
buildings which date from the post-independence era (1945) to the
present day. The book explores buildings that still embrace traditional
Indonesian architectural heritage as well as those whose design is based
on practical considerations, thus offering a valuable insight into the
works of emerging and established architects. Each project is
illustrated with stunning color photographs and detailed information to
facilitate an understanding of its historical and political context.
