[JAKARTA] The Proposed, On-Hold, Envisioned, Projects

[Mahaputra]

man.. this is crazy.. I didnt know that there are soo many tall skyscrapers that were proposed in Jakarta before the crisis..
all of them look sooo cool..

[Chad]

what can I say other than....SO MANY !!!, and those are stuninng projects!!!

Hi Guys, yes there are many projects on the boards. Let's not forget though that most of the projects I posted in this thread were pre-crisis, so many of them won't see the light of day > as in all scrapped.

However, the last posting today, was a series of buildings I'm hoping will be built. And I'm really excited about them because they are already showing a departure from the "predictable boxy or glossy or all-glass only" architecture. These are showing signs of being more daring, fluid, use of inventive building materials, deconstructiv-ism skewed. Pokoknya, more interesting than pre-crisis [last century, that is!]

All signs are also pointing to the accelerated economic progress next year [2005] that w/ see a considerable increase in construction. If 2004-2005 we're seeing many new Apartment projects, I'm sure in 2005 they'll be followed w/ new Hotels and Offices. I'd also like to see large-scale Public Projects, ie. Opera Houses, Museums, Improved Parks, Improved Pedestrian Zones, Interconnected Buildings, Revitalized Old Neighborhoods, Better City Transportation System.... a cleaner and better Jakarta. In short... a more "human" Jakarta.

ciao tutti,
dian

Thanks for the pics , Passion , though I can't see them... Waiting for your email!

Anyway, from what I've heard new apartments will continue to be announced till next year, and the market will start to cool down in 2006. Office market and hotel will pick up from 2006 onwards, and apparently the property market in Jkt is supposed to boom around 2007.

Like you, I'm hoping for significantly greater investment in public areas such as pedestrian zones/strips, public gardens and revitalisation of old areas such as Glodok. I think this should be top priority (well, maybe 2nd, after transportation).

[Mahaputra]

yeah.. I agree with u guys..
pedestrians, public spaces (parklands, quality public libraries, art centres, museums), the old city revitalisation (kota and glodok area)...transportation (monorail, MRT, port, airport, train, etc)...
hope we'll have a better Jakarta by 2010

[indistad]

Wow those are really nice buildings.

Hey passion4architecture, I was thinking of writing something using your material here for a makalah. I just wanna ask your permission and was wondering how do I credit you?

cooll... tan kian.. he's the man.. isnt he the person behind ritz carlton as well?
hahhaha.. cool... hopefully BDNI will be re-constructed again

[David-80]

I heard that too for conrad, but i cant confirm it 100%...maybe joko know something.

about BDNI building hmm that interesting since the last time i heard they're bidding for the tender and will resume only 1 tower not 2 tower as previously planned but no further news until now.

Anyway, i am waiting for the signature tower! thats one of tall pineapple look building when it built!

It could be Tan Kian or it could be his friend, Mr. Bambang who owns Conrad Resort and Hotel in Bali.

It makes sense.....heard over the grapevine that the hotel may open towards the end of 2007.

Good for them and good for Jakarta.

joko is this a new project , or an old project on hold?

[passion4architecture]

The ICON. Cool looking twin towers!
Now that's more like it, instead of simple boring square-ish towers.

Alvin, The Icon Residences is an old project on hold, already has basement:
