Online Tabloid HOUSE team is doing coverage in the four cities with the theme "Tour de Architecture". This time we visited the city of Semarang which has one of the famous buildings that are in the meeting Pandanaran Road and Street Youth, Semarang. Elongated shape of the building department with the door tightly lined up most of the longest side of the building, across the floor.
Many stories are circulating about the scary sloping building. In fact, the building is arguably the high-tech building in his time. Horror stories do exist, especially when the building was used as the headquarters of the Japanese army and its basement area used as a prison as well as the slaughter room.
This beautiful building is the brainchild of renowned Dutch architect, Prof. Jacob F. Klinkhamer and BJ Queendag. which was built in 1904 and put into use in 1907 as the NIS office. Function is as a center of private companies owned by the Dutch Railways or Nederlandsch Indishe Spoorweg Naatschappij (NIS).
Many interesting about the design. Starting from an elongated shape, and has a door that very much (although not reaching one thousand). Sewu term appears to analogize the lot number. Sewu unit in the Java language is the largest unit. A lot of doors for air circulation is intended to be smooth.
There are interesting from the design of the door. The door consists of three layers. The outer layer (which is often seen) is a folding door with a wooden lattice. Then there was a door in the middle layer "koboy" and on the inside there is a sliding door. Unfortunately, having been left empty for years, many doors are missing. Hinges are still the only remaining evidence of the existence of three layers of leaves this door.
