The Tomb of Bung Karno

The tomb complex was one complex with Javanese local architecture called Joglo। Since 2004 had been added with new building which became one complex with the old building of the tomb complex. The architect team led by Pribadi Widodo and Baskoro Tedjo from ITB. Since we enter the area of the tomb, there's a new building that attract our attention.






















The old gate, formed candi or temple in big size। It's likely to draw the past to the present started with the old complex, in the form of ancient temple, with stones।





















The building that covers the tomb of Bung Karno। The shape of 'pendopo' (traditional Javanese terrace house) covers the tomb। The Joglo form is more recent than the 'candi' form।














The space that connect the old and the new building is conjucting, refreshing.The modern building from the new complex. The functional ideas put in the past traditional ideas with the use of stones for the outer wall. The imitation of the old tradition and material from temples in Java.
