THE IMPORTANCE OF HISTORICAL LANDMARKS IN A CITY

This talk is about historical landmarks in the urban landscape of Indonesian cities, where Obbe Norbruis focus on the influence of history. As an urban planner, he especially wants to understand how the spatial planning around us is changing, while retaining fixed points, historical landmarks. Norbruis wrote two books about the most prolific architectural practice during Indonesia’s colonial period, especially the works of Hulswit-Fermont-Cuypers. The titles of both books are: “Landmarks from a bygone period” and “Architecture from the Indonesian past”.

Norbruis described almost 200 buildings. A lot of them are landmarks now. As urban engineer he talks about the importance of these buildings. Indeed, the architecture of a historical building is important, but Norbruis believes that people should know the history of a building too. That gives an extra dimension to the experience. He discovered that Indonesians and Dutch view those landmarks differently. This is often due to the history rather than the architecture. Both can learn a lot from each other in that regard.
