The Nature of Tropical Architecture in Indonesian Modernism

Abstract
The idea of environmental design – or loosely referred to as “tropical architecture” – is an ever-present but underlying discourse in modern Indonesian architectural history. Despite being tentative and, at times, overshadowed by other dominant issues, the quest for climate-related environmental tropical design is apparent in almost every generation of Indonesian architects.

Keywords
Modern Movement, Modern architecture, Tropical architecture, Modern diaspora, Design with climate, Indonesian modern architecture.
