Tower project

Tower project

Looking at the picture in your Sept. 13 issue on the Business
Page entitled Tower Project, I'm amazed. The project is estimated
to cost about Rp 900 billion or more.

It is saddening to look at the picture of the tower, which was
designed by Chinese architects who were awarded the mega project.

I know nothing technically, esthetically or philosophically
about the tower.

As far as beautiful Indonesian architect is concerned, your
article on Sunday Sep. 3 in the Accent column is still fresh in
my mind. I am proud of and have trust in the ability of
Indonesian architects. There are certainly several reputable
local architects.

The richness of Indonesia in terms of culture, civilization
and unique ethnic resources are unlimited.

Unless these Chinese architects were awarded the project
through international bidding, and fulfill international standard
by having created a masterpiece and worldwide renowned
architecture, it is difficult to comprehend the rationale behind
the project.

Have the investors taken just a little time to think over the
beautiful nature of Indonesia? Will the tower have some
Indonesian touch? I hope so!

Indonesian architects, along with their cultural roots, have
been challenged.
