Potensi Sebuah Ruang Terbuka Kota

>> Tuesday, December 11, 2007

Jaarbeurs, Jalan Aceh 50. This complex, designed as a civic exposition center in 1917 by the Schoemaker brothers,s now a military compound. Originally it was the site of the annual trade fair (Jaarbeurs), which presented the products of the Priangan region to investors from all over the Netherlands Indies, and often to perspective buyers from Europe. This was staged every June and July, and
Bandung took on a decidedly festive air, with street entertainments and parades on Jalan Braga.C.P Wolff-Schoemaker is credited as the designer of the Atlas figures which adorn the façade of the main building. Covered up in the 1070s and 1980s, these nude figures have been uncovered and restored and are now a part of the civic art of the city.
