notable examples of this movement appear in maclaine pont's design for the ceremonial halls of the "technische hoogeschool te bandung" (which became institut teknologi bandung). the building features an eclectic synthesis of various indonesian local forms, including the architecture of lake toba, the mentawai islands, and sunda. the building is a striking example of innovative tropical architecture. with an elongated elevation aligned on an east-west axis, the building is provided with effective natural ventilation. this orientation also minimizes the effect of solar radiation in that the morning and afternoon sun only strikes the narrow end facades of the building. the external galleries of the building create a double facade which shield the interior from direct sunlight, while cooling towers at either end ensure good ventilation.
