Soekarno - Hatta, the National Heroes

Soekarno-Hatta are the Proclaimers of Indonesian Independence. On August 17, 1945 at 10.00 am, the Proclamation manuscript finally read in the front yard of Bung Karno’s house in Jakarta. Since then the news about Indonesian Independence spread abroad.

In 1965, President Soekarno held a contest to design the building which was won by an architect named Soejoedi. The unique roof design was inspired by a halved dome.
