JAKARTA, INDONESIA — An international design team made up of MVRDV of Rotterdam, The Jerde Partnership, Inc. of Los Angeles, and ARUP (Dublin), together with developer Wijaya Karya - Benhil Property, have collaborated to create Peruri 88 – a new landmark icon for the people of Jakarta. The team recently presented the plans to owner Peruri as part of a developer’s bid competition for the prominent site at Jl. Palatehan 4 Jakarta on November 2, 2012.

Peruri 88 is approximately a 360,000 square-meter 88-story high rise mixed-use district in the heart of Jakarta’s capitol region. MVRDV and Jerde are the project’s design architects, while ARUP provided structural engineering consultation. Designed to be the grandeur of Peruri and Indonesia, Peruri 88 combines residential, hotel, office, retail and entertainment uses and is envisioned as a modern iconic and active public gathering place for the city.

MVRDV designed the high rise tower that will house residential, office and hotel to become the most prominent building in Jakarta’s evolving downtown. “Peruri’s soaring Tower (Vertical Jakarta) represents a new, denser, social, green mini-city – a monument to the development of Jakarta as a modern icon literally raised from its own city fabric,” says Winy Maas, MVRDV Founder.

The Jerde-designed Peruri commercial podium reflects the city’s historic island existence with reflective bodies of water and landscape traversing the public street levels, while integrating a striking sunken garden plaza. “Our inspiration for the commercial podium and public spaces was the island’s natural setting -- lush jungle and stone surrounded by expansive ocean,” says David Rogers, FAIA, Jerde Design Director.

vertu traveling pavillon by MAD

The design concept of the travelling Pavilion for Vertu is to create an object that falls from the sky and land into the exhibition of objects. Through the full impact of its presents, it influence and alter the exhibition experience through space and time.

Vertu ‘s travelling exhibition is developed from natures phenomenon such as an explosion, collision, the twist bend elastic forces, it is the physical principles of natures forced visible from observation and research.

The architecture is formally covered in sharp and broken shreds, an exploration of the residue let behind from nature’s formal transformation post collision. Vertu’s travelling pavilion architecture’s façade is a signifier of the split moment taken from nature’s explosion and fragmentation impact, realized in its formal state.

Jembatan gantung dengan balon helium karya olivier grossetête

ini adalah salah satu ide gila dengan mengangkat jembatan dengan balon helium.

meskipun akhirnya terbang, namun ide ini memberikan kita sebuah inspirasi yang mengagumkan

Karya Oliver Grosetete ini merupakan salah satu instalasi site specifik.

french installation artist olivier grossetête's work 'pont de singe' conjures ideas of dreamlike surrealism - a featherweight bridge
suspended by three helium-filled balloons, steadily held aloft a lake in tatton's japanese garden in the UK. grossetête’s artwork toys
with the disciplines of design and engineering, with this particular piece an extension of his earlier 2007 work 'pont suspendu' -
an installation along a similar vein of three large balloons supporting a bridge-like structure, hovering over château ferry lacombe in tret, france.
the work evokes a sense of abstract delicacy, transferring fanciful imagery usually reserved for daydreaming to reality.
