How does the world's fifth largest population express itself in terms of architecture? Is there any common language when it comes to planning and construction? For the past seven decades, both Indonesian and international architects have developed new ideas in order to fulfill the demands of the country's 250 million inhabitants, in line with economic progress. Imelda Akmal's "Architectural Guide Indonesia" presents over one hundred must-visit buildings which date from the post-independence era, starting in 1945, to the present day. This book explores buildings that still embrace traditional Indonesian architectural heritage as well as those whose design is based on practical considerations, thus offering a valuable insight into the works of emerging and established architects. In total the guide features carefully selected buildings with all salient information as to their dates of construction, architects and locality by way of QR codes.

A graduate from the Architecture Department of Trisakti University in Jakarta, Imelda Akmal chose to follow a career as a writer specialising in architecture and interior design. In 1992, she began working full-time for various magazines in Indonesia, writing articles on both subjects. Since 1996, she has also published several books related to contemporary Indonesian architecture. Aside from writing, Imelda Akmal has produced numerous television programmes in Indonesia. Owing to her publications, she is often asked to speak at public seminars. After she completed her degree in the Master of Business Management at Swinburne University in Melbourne, Australia, and took courses in interior design at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, she established Imelda Akmal Architectural Writer Studio (IAAW Studio).
