Each with its own unique characteristics However, what we can easily adopt are the architectural styles of their homes. But if there are 1,300 How do we do it? It would be better to choose the Garuda as a symbol, as it is already well recognized by the public, and its representation of justice is universally felt. Everyone is included If I can only create... a Toraja house or a Balinese house just because Bali is currently popular, people might speak negatively about it. Well, this could offend many people. Especially the other ethnic groups. Our good intentions could end up being misunderstood. That's why we chose the Garuda design.

The Nusantara Capital City offers something unique and different. A city of the future that is harmonious with nature. Featuring iconic landmarks that represent the resurgence of Indonesia's spirit. Everyone involved in designing the buildings within the KPP complex in the Nusantara Capital City must adhere to green design principles. Because in today's world, the emphasis on green design is absolutely essential. For example We can maximize the use of natural light by incorporating openings that allow sunlight to directly enter the rooms. Therefore, the use of electricity for artificial lighting can be significantly reduced. We must optimize the use of natural ventilation systems. By implementing cross-ventilation and creating as many air openings as possible, we can ensure that clean outdoor air enters the building optimally. Additionally, with the advent of renewable technologies such as solar panels and others... It is absolutely necessary, even though it might not be aesthetically pleasing. However, solar farms are specifically designed to replace electricity generated from fossil fuels. A symbol of "Bhinneka Tunggal Ika" representing the rich cultural diversity of Indonesia. That symbol is the Garuda. Thus, its location is strategically positioned at the highest and most prominent point. And in my opinion, its design is already quite unique and uncommon. Because it unites various elements of the landscape into a cohesive whole. Thus, architecture and sculpture merge into a unified whole. The architecture and sculpture are highly artistic in form. Rich in artistic expression. Because the shape of the Garuda itself But inside, it can function as a space where the president can carry out official duties.

The Garuda, spreading its wings to protect its offspring. symbolizes how Pancasila, as the foundation of our nation, ...which serves to protect the integrity of the nation. Through his work, we can feel the spirit of unity embodied within it. What makes this building unique is the combination of architecture and sculpture. So, I have a concept called "artsculp" So, "artsculp" combines architecture and sculpture, essentially creating architectural sculptures. That's my own term. The role of architecture within the state palace is undoubtedly integral. Because, naturally, the building itself is designed by architects. by an architecs Where, indeed, the leader of the project is an architect. However, it involves a multidisciplinary approach. The architect's role is closely tied to art, visualization, and the overall form, with other elements following suit. For example, the structural strength well, that’s where the engineers come in. The structural calculations are handled by structural experts. Then, for layout, finishing, and interior design, the interior team takes charge. MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing) specialists handle specific aspects like air conditioning needs, waste disposal systems, and waste treatment. That's roughly how the MEP team handles those aspects. Iconic works play a crucial role in Indonesian tourism. Such as the National Monument (Monas), Garuda Wisnu Kencana, Borobudur Temple, Prambanan Temple, and many others. Prambanan Temple, and many others. The beauty of the form, combined with its complex structure, is one of the key points in the construction of the Garuda Palace. Every detail of this building is designed with careful consideration of environmental aspects. It utilizes eco-friendly materials, requires minimal maintenance, and incorporates renewable energy technologies. To create a masterpiece, the right materials are essential. The artist chose two mediums: brass and weathering steel. These materials were selected for their low maintenance requirements. The surface of the blades is made of brass, which doesn't require maintenance and will naturally turn green over time due to oxidation by nature. The blades themselves are crafted from weathering steel with perforations, creating a unique design. This material might be unfamiliar to many in Indonesia, but it has been widely used by renowned artists in their works. Interestingly, weathering steel has been extensively used in monuments and buildings abroad. The reason weathering steel has become a favored material is its natural color transformation over time, this feature we can appreciate in the Garuda Palace. Extreme weather also plays a role in the creation of the Garuda Palace. Sometimes, when the weather is good, we can make deliveries up to three or even four times a day. However, when it rains, we can't exceed that sometimes we can only manage one or two deliveries. It is not an easy task it requires sacrifices for a more advanced Indonesia. This is fundamentally a matter of time. Typically, a project of this magnitude, at least two years with dimensions reaching up to 77 meters in both length and height, would take at least 2 years to complete under normal circumstances. Ideally, we would have that much time. However, we are required to finish it in less than a year, which presents a considerable challenge A masterpiece so beautiful and grand, constructed in the shortest possible time, and now we can finally enjoy this remarkable creation. This masterpiece was brought to life through the dedication and longing of the Indonesian people to have a home of their own. So, the total number of blades is 4,650.
