MPR/DPR/DPD building

Construction of the building was ordered on March 8, 1965 by Sukarno, the first president of Indonesia, through the Presidential Decree of the Republic of Indonesia Number 48 of 1965. The building was intended to house the Conference of New Emerging Forces (CONEFO), a now defunct alternative for the United Nations, with the first conference being scheduled to be held in 1966. The members of the organization were planned to consist of the countries of Asia, Africa, Latin America, and the Non-Aligned Movement.

The first conference was scheduled to be held in 1966, and the building was scheduled for completion before August 17, 1966 — leaving 17 months left for the construction to take place. Construction began in March 1965 following a contest for the design, which resulted in the design by architect Soejoedi Wirjoatmodjo being agreed upon and ratified by President Sukarno on February 22, 1965.

Construction was hampered due to the coup attempt on September 30, 1965. The CONEFO idea was soon abandoned after Sukarno's fall, but the building's construction was resumed based on the Decree of the Presidium of the Ampera Cabinet Number 79/U/Kep/11/1966 dated November 9, 1966, whose designation was changed for the MPR/DPR RI Building.

Gradually, construction was completed and handed over to the Secretariat General of the DPR: Main Conference Building (March 1968), Secretariat Building and Health Center Building (March 1978), Auditorium Building (September 1982), and Banquet Building (February 1983).{{sfn|Merrillees|2015|p=123}}{{Cite web|date=2014-11-27|title=Riwayat Nama Ruang dan Gedung Parlemen|url=https://historia.id/politik/articles/riwayat-nama-ruang-dan-gedung-parlemen-vZonP|access-date=2021-10-14|website=Historia - Majalah Sejarah Populer Pertama di Indonesia|language=id-ID}}

In May 1998, the buildings were occupied by about 80,000 tertiary students[http://www.antara.co.id/arc/2008/4/28/mantan-aktivis-mahasiswa-tidak-ada-rekayasa-dalam-pendudukan-gedung-dpr-mpr-1998/ 80.000 students occupied the DPR/MPR Building] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080925181744/http://www.antara.co.id/arc/2008/4/28/mantan-aktivis-mahasiswa-tidak-ada-rekayasa-dalam-pendudukan-gedung-dpr-mpr-1998/ |date=2008-09-25 }} pg. 5 protesting against the Trisakti shootings and the continuation of Suharto's New Order regime, which also calling for the dissolution of the People's Representative Council and People's Consultative Assembly of the 1998–2003 period.{{Cite web |url=http://www.semanggipeduli.com/Sejarah/frame/pendudukan.html |title=Semanggi Peduli |access-date=2009-01-27 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170114131709/http://semanggipeduli.com/Sejarah/frame/pendudukan.html |archive-date=2017-01-14 |url-status=dead }}
