Reference excerpt

The Parliamentary Complex of Indonesia (Indonesian: Kompleks Parlemen Republik Indonesia), also known as the MPR/DPR/DPD Building, is the seat of government for the Indonesian legislative branch of government, which consists of the People's Consultative Assembly (MPR), the House of Representatives (DPR) and the Regional Representative Council (DPD).

History

Construction

Sukarno administration Construction of the building was ordered on March 8, 1965, by Sukarno, the first president of Indonesia, through the Presidential Decree of the Republic of Indonesia Number 48 of 1965. The building was intended to house the Conference of the New Emerging Forces (CONEFO), a now defunct alternative for the United Nations, with the first conference being scheduled to be held in 1966. The members of the organization were planned to consist of the countries of Asia, Africa, Latin America, and the Non-Aligned Movement. The first conference was scheduled to be held in 1966, and the building was scheduled for completion before August 17, 1966 — leaving 17 months left for the construction to take place. Construction began in March 1965 following a contest for the design, which resulted in the design by architect Soejoedi Wirjoatmodjo being agreed upon and ratified by President Sukarno on February 22, 1965.

Suharto administration

Construction was hampered due to the coup attempt on September 30, 1965. The CONEFO idea was soon abandoned after Sukarno's fall, but the building's construction was resumed based on the Decree of the Presidium of the Ampera Cabinet Number 79/U/Kep/11/1966 dated November 9, 1966, whose designation was changed for the MPR/DPR RI Building. Gradually, construction was completed and handed over to the Secretariat General of the DPR: Main Conference Building (March 1968), Secretariat Building and Health Center Building (March 1978), Auditorium Building (September 1982), and Banquet Building (February 1983).

May 1998

In May 1998, the buildings were occupied by about 80,000 tertiary students protesting against the Trisakti shootings and the continuation of Suharto's New Order regime, which also calling for the dissolution of the People's Representative Council and People's Consultative Assembly of the 1998–2003 period.

Buildings

The complex comprises six buildings. The main building is Nusantara with its unique Garuda wing-shaped roof and contains the 1,700-seat plenary meeting hall. The other five buildings are Nusantara I, a 23-storey building containing parliament members' offices and meeting rooms; Nusantara II and Nusantara III, which contain committee meeting rooms and offices; Nusantara IV, used for conferences and ceremonies; and Nusantara V, which has a 500-seat plenary hall.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with MPR/DPR/DPD building

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what MPR/DPR/DPD building claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In engineering, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to MPR/DPR/DPD building before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about MPR/DPR/DPD building ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of MPR/DPR/DPD building

In research: MPR/DPR/DPD building appears in engineering research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses MPR/DPR/DPD building in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: MPR/DPR/DPD building is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Buildings and structures completed in 1983, Buildings and structures in Jakarta, People's Consultative Assembly, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for MPR/DPR/DPD building outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
