Modern architecture does not have its development in Indonesia, because, as other architectural styles imported from western countries, this force into Indonesia as the impact of globalization. Modern architectural styles emerged as an international force has enough similarities in all places, all the countries. At least, the modern style rooms still carry the function as a starting point design. In Indonesia, a modern style which is seen as the force is also a function of the design starting point.

Modern style is a simple style, clean, functional, stylish, trendy, up-to-date related to the modern lifestyle that is rapidly growing. Modern lifestyle is supported by advances in technology, where many things that previously could not be made and obtained became available to many people.

In the modern lifestyle, the people in it tend to like things that are easy and fast, because various industrial tools generated for human convenience. The nature of the modern lifestyle is a demand to move and do things more quickly, which is supported by technology and industrialization. Technology developed to make work and everyday life more quickly and easily, such as the development of information technology that allows people to communicate using a telephone and a computer sort.

Quality and speed became essential to the modern lifestyle, so there is a tendency to see the value of objects based on the large number of functions or object function, and based on compliance with the demanding lifestyle of fast-paced, easy and functional.

In architecture, modern lifestyle impact to the desire to have a simple structure, clean and functional, as a symbol of the modern spirit. However, this kind of lifestyle is only partially owned by the community alone, especially those located in big cities, where living the lifestyle demands more quickly, functional and efficient.

In Indonesia, modern style which is applied sometimes still have aesthetic elements that brought the classic or ethnic style, while others have met a pure modern design rules. Is still often heard the term modern classic architecture, modern architecture ethnic, modern traditional architecture, modern bali architecture, and so on. In Indonesia, there is a tendency to include elements of traditional ornaments that make it a category of ambiguous architecture, whether modern or postmodern?

To call the modern style of ornate as a pure modern style is not the right thing, after all, the process of developing this style does not happen in Indonesia. To call it a postmodern style, moreover, in Indonesia, even this term tends to be avoided to avoid the lack of fahaman society. So the style of modern architecture in Indonesia will emerge as a distinctive style of “Modern Indonesia” with the following characteristics:

q Have great attention to the function space, the pattern of activity obtained from residents
q Have great attention to building materials that are used to obtain final results (aesthetic) desired
q Having a machine analogy in the structuring and developing spaces
Avoiding q ornaments (if pure modern style), or use ornaments (if postmodern, or given such frills: ethnic modern architecture, modern Balinese architecture, etc.)
q Simplifying forms and details of ornamentation and the removal of ‘unnecessary’ wishes as far as designers (or the owner of the building)
