A 99-story skyscraper created for the Indonesian state-owned energy company, Pertamina, is scheduled for completion in 2020. This building, designed by SOM, will carry the distinction of becoming Jakarta’s tallest landmark, and will accommodate some 20,000 workers. However, “tall” is not the key distinguishing factor in the works; the renderings of the sky-piercing building have been released by SOM and the design shows how the Pertamina Energy Tower will be “the world’s first supertall tower for which energy is the primary design driver.”
