The Kologdam Building (Indonesian Gedung Kologdam) is a colonial landmark in Bandung. In the 1920s, Kologdam building was the main building for the Bandung Jaarbeurs (annual trade fair), a complex of buildings and pavilions where annual trade was held. Currently the complex was converted into a military complex for the Education and Training Command Headquarters Kodam (Kologdam) III / Siliwangi.

The building and the surrounding complex was designed by Schoemaker, a prominent architect in the Dutch East Indies. The building was build in 1920, originally served as the main building of the Jaarbeurs de Bandung. The first trade fair was held in 1920 from May 20 to June 3, later followed by yearly event every June and July.[1] Various fairs, conferences, and exhibitions of regional industries from Priangan and surrounding area were held in the complex.[2]

In 1919, the architect Wolff Schoemaker designed the Trade Fair Center (Jaarbeurs) directly after his study tour to the United States.[3] It was the first plan that he realized since he arrived from a one year journey in the United States. It was designed in Art Deco and shows obvious inspiration from Frank Lloyd Wright.[3] It has a cross-shaped floor plan. Three sculptures of human figures decorate the top of the front facade, showing Amsterdam School influence in it design.[4]
