MVRDV, in collaboration with The Jerde Partnership, ARUP, and developer Wijaya Karya – Benhil Property, have unveiled plans to create a new landmark in Jakarta, Indonesia. Dubbed Peruri 88, the 400 meter tall vertical city integrates retail, offices, housing, a luxury hotel, four levels of parking, a wedding house, a mosque, an imax theater and an outdoor amphitheater, with an extensive amount of green space.
The team presented the plans to city and site owner, Peruri, as part of a developer’s bid competition for the prominent site.
All the details after the break…

Peruri 88 combines Jakarta´s need for green space with Jakarta´s need for higher densities whilst respecting the typologies of the current urban fabric. The site, which is owned by Peruri, is located at Jl. Palatehan 4 Jakarta, a block formerly used as Mint which sits right next to a future metro station.

The mix use project offers a great variety of office and housing typologies, from large office surfaces to living/working units, from lofts to townhouses, from terraced houses to patio living. Each of these stacked urban blocks comes with a semi-public roof park, an abundance of gardens, playgrounds, spas, gym’s, outdoor restaurants and swimming pools available to the inhabitants and office employees. The tall trees on these decks will provide extra shade whilst the height of the parks allows for a cooling breeze.The high rise, a luxury hotel from the 44th floor to the 86th floor, rises from a platform with park, swimming pool and the marriage house. On top of the hotel a panoramic restaurant and viewing platform complete the structure at the 88th floor.
“Peruri 88 is vertical Jakarta, it 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 co-founder.

The commercial podium which is located from levels B2 to the 7th floor is designed by Jerde Partnership with MVRDV. Its most characteristic feature is the central plaza, sheltered by the stacked volumes of the mid-rise it offers multiple outdoor layers of restaurants and shadow and natural ventilation. A series of escalators connects the shopping and retail centre to the parks of the mid-rise.
The Peruri 88 commercial podium reflects the city’s historic islands with reflective bodies of water and landscape traversing the public street levels, while integrating a sunken garden plaza. “Our inspiration for the commercial podium and public spaces was Java’s natural setting – lush jungle and stone surrounded by expansive ocean,” says David Rogers, FAIA, Jerde Design Director.

The buildings structure has five principle cores and is less complex than visually apparent. Four traditional constructed tall towers rise up between which bridging floors will be constructed. Arup will continue to develop and rationalize the structure to satisfy regulations and the budget.
A number of international hotel, retail and apartment operators have shown interest in the building and if the team wins construction will start swiftly.

that was sarcasm by the way..
I know! I gave you a thumbs up, but smart people are a minority these days. :D
WTF! is the best I can say about this
My condolences to the city of Jakarta…
This is an example of plain arrogance and lack of creativity!:….Look at us, our concepts are so good that we never have to design anything new. Lets just stack them! We have the drawings ready!
I will come and visit it and swim in that huge pool !
This is the ugliest design I have ever seen…
Be difference is good but remember ” less is the best ”
Jakarta is located in the “Ring of Fire”, also called the Circum-Pacific belt, is the zone of earthquakes surrounding the Pacific Ocean
Could we imagine . what will happen if ” EARTHQUAKE ” strikes this City…I come from ” Earthquake City ” of Christchurch New Zealand
How deep should the pits be to plant those trees on each terrace?
Hybrid Link, Museum Plaza, Shenzhen Stock Exchange… what other OMA projects can you see in the pile? I should save these images and test my son when he grows old enough :)

Jenga
so looking at the first pic, i wonder two things. 1) where is the rest of jakarta? 2)it is a scotch out of scale with its surroundings.
So the MVRDV method is:
1. Concept design through programming
2. *skips the integrating programs into a coherent architecture part*
3. profit
Mind is blown, this really exemplifies the arrogance the new emerging “Starchifirms”.
It happens too often that architects work so hard to make a structure not appear similar to any previous structure, that negation of all else is the reigning characteristic of their designs.
Consider Zaha Hadid’s work. It is not simply about rejecting all else. One cannot apply the above sentence to her work because her designs strive towards a new ideal with its own parameters.
City in Jarkarta seems like more of a deliberate affront to sensibilities of balance and symmetry and uniformity, etc. than it does an embrace of something new. It would, if it were built, stand as a monument to what it is not.
Of course it is possible, as we see in the City in Jakarta renderings, to build that which is not anything else; but does that make it a worthy something?
I suspect the first rendering answers the question.
this is offensive. its unoriginal on mvrdv’s part and overly aggressive.
Jakarta city layout was very messy and got a lot of slum area, and u want to bring it to the sky?!..okay then..let me play you the song of my people
it’s missing the dumb cartoon diagrams to “understand” the concept.
Jakarta is a mess, and so is this building. PERFECT! :D
the trees are kinda exaggerated. they plan to built forest on the roof? really..
no, just no
ok
говно же. не?
Show me the fickin Parti Diagram first.
it’s so complicated. Jakarta has many of landmarcs, that city doesn’t need landmarc but the problem solving design for people
This discussion is widely about how this thing looks and therefore a lost discussion about beauty which is as we all know in the eye of the beholder. But what about the 3d dimension of this building, the verticality that they try to achieve, I think it is rather interesting, it totally blows the Marina by the Sands building. I think the 3d verticality is much more interesting than the looks.
well
nothing different about this building .lacks in creativity and is too much compact togheter.
like u piece of concrete ..please use your imagination.
I literally chuckled out loud when I saw this…
still don’t get why are some people so outraged.
its different… not necessarily bad…
and if the underlying idea really is “vertical city” then i think this is “grown” like one.
they tried something new, how many of us can say same thing
what? is it the new era of clown Architecture in Indonesia?
