But many<br>\nforeigners designed the high-rise buildings because the locals<br>\nwere not given a chance to do so,\" he said in a media conference<br>\nprior to the fourth congress of the organization, which will take<br>\nplace on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>He said that among those built by locals were the Bank<br>\nIndonesia building, the BII Tower and the Sarinah building, on<br>\nJl. Thamrin.<\/p>\n<p>In the 1970s and 1980s, almost 80 percent of high-rise<br>\nbuildings in Jakarta were designed by foreign architects. The<br>\nconstruction of those buildings also involved local architects,<br>\nbut the locals did not play a significant role, as they had been<br>\nappointed purely because the regulations stipulated that the<br>\nforeigners should work in partnership with them.<\/p>\n<p>He said that in the past few years, there were fewer<br>\nforeigners involved in building construction due to the economic<br>\ncrisis, which had caused the U.S. dollar's exchange rate to soar.<\/p>",
