that he developed through the years in many other exploratory

scenarios.

Concept

The profound articulation of this statuesque tower with its repetitive rhythm, its cantilevered balconies

and landscape, scale it down to get to the podium to be consistent with the urban context of low ceilings

typical of the surrounding area. Rudolph planned this open atrium, surrounded by public spaces, as if it

were "a people, with easy access and visual variety that all people possess."

The context and sense of place, so important in the architecture of Rudolph, has been achieved in this

project through the interaction of these spaces on the lower levels, where the occupants can walk and

move inside the building. This environment is obtained from structural and functional requirements. All

Dharmala tower is a convincing testimony of the work and time of Paul Rudolph, reaffirming the principles

of design that evolved throughout his life.

Materials

Its structure has been used reinforced concrete and steel. Finishes throughout the building, columns,

walls, railings and balconies, were made with white tiles. This finish not only protects the concrete

against mold, due to wet weather in the area, being a common solution in Indonesia, also creates a sense

of cool elegance, immaculate white, to while small scale tiles give a pleasant texture and this huge

building.
