In 2019, the color of 5-Junction Roundabout Monument in Banda Aceh was repainted without authorization, violating the creators’ moral rights. This study investigates the legal implications of this violation, focusing on the unauthorized colour change of the 5-Junction Roundabout Monument. Using a sociological juridical method and qualitative analysis, it explores the challenges in protecting moral rights for architectural works in Indonesia.
