elements. In 1920, Pont planned and designed buildings for the first technical
university in the Dutch East Indies, Technische Hogeschool te Bandung (the present-
day Institut Teknologi Bandung), after which he was named as a professor in
architecture at the university. A striking local Javanese roof style is noticeably seen
on top of the campus' ceremonial hall, embedded in his artwork.
