Three vantage points (V1, V2, and V3) have been highlighted to study the visual impact of the tower. Jakarta has two major high-rise spines planned along Jl. Jend. Sudirman and Jalan Rasuna Said Roads. V1 is a high-altitude view, assumed at the crown level heights of the towers planned along the Jl. Jend Sudirman road. V2 is from an external transportation vehicular zone of the city which has views towards all the towers planned along both the high-rise spines. V3 is assumed at the spaces between the city center and Jakarta Bay. The same can be considered as a waterfront view of the skyline. (See Figure 13)
Figure 13. Vantage point selection. (a) High-rise spines in Jakarta, (b) Vantage point locations
At V1 and the spaces around it, the PET appears to be in harmony with existing skyline of the city. Narrow spacing between most of the high-rise buildings is observed with PET forming the focal point of the overall skyline. At V2, PET synchronizes with most of the high-rise buildings along the spines and collaborate to create an interesting skyline signature. At V3, the PET can be clearly identified due to its monofocal appearance while the rest of the towers appear to be in polyfocal clusters (See Figure 14).
