The facade itself is constructed by timber logs (with supported steel inside the timber logs) to create an impression of timber. The bonding of triangular structures of timber creates an impression of the strength and opportunity of timber. This idea is actually based on the fact that Indonesia is quite fame for its woods and forests.
