As we know, Andrea Palladio had an iconic Architecture with typical of symmetrical design. Everything is the same between left and right. The way Palladio create his building face is like a poem. We also know Le Corbusier. Just like Palladio, Corbusier also a famous Architect back then. But Corbusier Style is different with Palladio. Corbusier set his design so explosive. He set his building dynamic, with amount of surprise but still very effective. They are very different, but no one is wrong with their theory. So, how to pick which one theory we want to use? Why not use both of them. What if symmetrical of Palladio combine with Corbusier’s explosiveness? We will make face building like palladio, but Corbusier inside. Create building facade using symmetrical of Palladio, and create inside the building using grid of Corbusier and explosiveness of Corbusier too. Combine both of theory to build a private learning center in Jl. Kusuma Bangsa. Which locate near SMAN 1, SMAN 2, SMAN 5, SMAN 9, and SMPN 1 Surabaya. All of that building is from colonial. Have typical building that Dutch create in early 50’s. We adapt the concept of colonial building and make it as the face of this building. As we use both of concept, it creates something new.
