Jakarta International Stadium (JIS) project – clarification statement

Buro Happold would like to clarify the details relating to its role in the Jakarta International Stadium (JIS) project. 

Buro Happold was not commissioned to design the stadium and did not design the stadium. Furthermore, the company was not involved in the subsequent construction.

The company was commissioned by Jakarta Konsultindo (Jakkon) to provide design guidance and consultancy from December 2018 to March 2019, which included the preparation of concept design guide, technical and commercial assessment, concept masterplan for the surrounding area and an implementation roadmap.

Later in the process, Buro Happold was asked to review the concept design prepared by other local consultants. In the resulting report, Buro Happold identified several areas of non-compliance with its original Concept Design Guide. In addition to the report, these areas of non-compliance were also highlighted by Buro Happold in a separate letter.

Following misinterpretations of Buro Happold’s work on the JIS project, the company’s website provides updated information on the main element of its work on the project, with the intention of providing clarity on its role.
