The micro text meaning of the Bandung people began to reduce over time in the social and
cultural capital of the Sundanese people. The change of symbolic meaning relates to the change
in the social, economic, political, and cultural capital of Bandung people. Although it does not
change the conception of the macro narrative toward the object’s ideal meaning, the construction’s
formation in public spaces through imitative artificial shorting results in a change in the social
interpretation of the city community.
4 CONCLUSION
Built spatial monuments, that stand firmly in the middle of the city, prioritize the underlying meaning related to philosophical, ideological, historical, and aesthetic values in society. Today’s advances
in digital technology have transformed the work generally done through an artist’s craftmanship
approach into a digitally conceptualized approach through urban governance planning. Technology
becomes an imitation machine that can produce symbolic objects of the city more perfectly and
precisely as decorative elements, capable of replacing the emptiness of space in the city. However,
without care, it can gradually erode the cultural, historical, and philosophical significance of a city
symbolic spaces into just artificially plastic construction.
