When we talk about Architecture Visualisation, what comes in most people mind would be stories and famous architects' masterpieces from the 20th-21st century. Le Corbusier's Villa Savoye, Ludwig Mies Van der Rohe's Farnsworth House, Frank Gehry's Guggenheim Museum, Frank Lloyd Wright's Falling Water House, or Zaha Hadid's the Heydar Aliyev Cultural Centre.

But what if, we visualise the architecture of 21st-century centuries back into before the 13th century to when the Majapahit kingdom was victorious?

One of the world's heritage architecture that we have, the Prambanan Temple, has its own famous legend of Bandung Bondowoso and Roro Jonggrang. The tragic love story is about Bondowoso's attempt in building 1000 temples overnight to get Jonggrang's love only to be ruined by Roro Jonggrang's cunning trick. The furious Bondowoso then cursed Roro Jonggrang to be the 1000th temple.

The Prambanan Temple is a Hindu temple complex located in the village of Bokoharjo, Sleman, Yogyakarta. It was founded in the 9th century and was built by Rakai Pikatan to glorify Lord Shiva. Prambanan has received recognition from UNESCO as a world cultural heritage.

In our Architectural Visualization this time, we would like to bring the story of Prambanan and Roro Jonggrang alive - incarnated into the 21st century and returned to the 9th century when the early Prambanan temple was firmly built. The story - that will be pictured in visual architecture, with several relief carvings of Prambanan temples that hold historical stories of Hinduism - will tell us how Roro Jonggrang, with all the power that she had, regretted what she had done to Bandung Bondowoso centuries ago.

Are you curious about our version of Roro Jonggrang and Candi Prambanan story?
