Indonesia will celebrate its national art of batik with a pair of skyscrapers clad in material resembling the textile.
The 210m high Sahid Perdana Twin Towers in Jakarta will reference the traditional form of art on its upper floors while still maintaining a truly modernistic feel.
Designed by Urbane, the elliptical towers will rise from a podium with a pod-shaped entrance. The glass facade will change as the towers rise, merging into a batik-like appearance at the top.
The towers will be linked by a space-age looking skybridge that looks kind of like a UFO has become wedged between the two towers!
The whole complex is expected to open in 2010.
