Kisho Kurokawa assesses that the IKN architecture that is currently designed if it is actually realized, then it will be the best architectural design in the whole world.

According to Isran, this statement was made by Kisho Kurokawa when an online seminar was attended by all architecture in the world and Indonesia recently.
