Indonesian Architecture in Contemporary
Generally, in the past few decades, countries in East and Southeast Asia have generated rapid economic growth due to their involvement to the free market economy. Due to its rapid growth, the political and business elite find that replication i.e copying and modifying are generally acceptable. However, when replication is done too frequently and too indiscriminately, the historical importance of the original products loses its true meaning and significance. Indonesian architecture, through years and eras has influenced by many cultures either from the Austronesia, kingdom, colonialism era, post-colonialism, modernism, and even post-colonialism. The variations of building types are so differ from one area to another. So, it’s been difficult to determine what’s the real Indonesian architecture is. As for today, the emerging of modernism and post-modernism has lead to varied and spectacular forms of building. By the use of advance technology and the invention of fabricated materials, it’s no longer a worry to create even the most difficult form. Began in early 16th century, the influence of European invasion has lead the architecture to somewhat monumental and triggered the development of modern and prefabricated-materialed architecture. As what Wolff Schoemaker did in his master chief buildings, he believes that he doesn’t need to consider about Indonesian locality.
