Rudofsky (1965:1) used. Meanwhile, to enrich the data and describes vernacular architecture as the analysis, some previous field "architecture without architects". In other observations, brief interviews, and words Rudofsky want to show that literature review were also employed. In vernacular architecture is not influenced the field observations, visual condition by trends or particular style but oriented data were collected using a camera to to the needs and potential of nature as record the traditional architecture the context. It can be concluded that the conditions including its structure and local wisdom of our ancestors is wisdom building systems. The analysis is done in dealing with nature as context by comparing the data obtained in the resulting architectural design that can field with a literature study to get a address the needs of the building and in conclusion. harmony with nature.

  • The Prehistory of Home
    Chapter 1 The Prehistory of Home Our trowels scrape through time. A dozen of us — archaeologists, stu- dents, and workmen — are excavating in far northern Peru. Digging through hard layers of ash-black clay and past thick jumbles of ancient oyster shells, we carefully scoop up the loosened midden and sieve it through dry shaker screens, trapping durable potsherds and glinting flakes of obsidian. We watch for traces of archaic structures: postholes from long-gone timbers, subtle variations in soil color and texture, a slightly more compacted surface. We speak in low voices as we dig, afraid that any distraction will cause us to miss the ancient traces of home. Various animals build shelters, but only humans build homes. Humans build dwellings in different environments, constructed with diverse mate- rials and in distinct forms, and associated with nuanced meanings. We have done this for millennia. No other species lives in such a variety of shelters. Despite the diver- sity of the constructions that other animals create — the pendulous bas- kets of oriole nests, the intricate dens of prairie dogs, or the decorated nests of bowerbirds — humans construct the broadest array of dwellings on Earth. Our words for “dwelling” point to this diversity: Palace, hovel, hogan, ranch house, croft. Tipi, chalet, duplex, kraal. Igloo, bungalow, billet, cabin. 1 2 | The Prehistory of Home Cottage, crannog, adobe, manor. Wickiup, villa, lean-to, abbey. Hacienda, barrack, lodge, shanty. Pithouse, penthouse, pueblo, condo.

The natural mathematical abilities of humans have advanced civilizations. These abilities have been demonstrated in cultural heritage, especially traditional houses, which display evidence of an intuitive mathematics ability. Tribes around the world have built traditional houses with unique styles. The present study involved the collection of data from documentation, observation, and interview. The observations of several traditional buildings in Indonesia were based on camera images, aerial camera images, and documentation techniques. We first analyzed the images of some sample of the traditional houses in Indonesia using projective geometry and simple house theory and then formulated the definitions of building numbers and projective coordinates. The sample of the traditional houses is divided into two categories which are stilt houses and nonstilt house. The present article presents 7 types of simple houses, 21 building numbers, and 9 projective coordinates.

    AUTHOR: KATHLEEN M. ADAMS TITLE: more than an ethnic marker: Toraja art as identity negotiator SOURCE: American Ethnologist 25 no3 327-51 Ag '98 The magazine publisher is the copyright holder of this article and it is reproduced with permission. Further reproduction of this article in violation of the copyright is prohibited. ABSTRACT In this article I suggest that art can be more than a passive ethnic marker. Focusing on the architecturally based carvings of the Toraja of Indonesia, I argue that artistic forms are sites for the assertion, articulation, and negotiation of various hierarchical identities and relationships. I trace the contested transformation of Toraja architectural symbols of elite authority into generalized icons of Toraja ethnic identity. As I chronicle these shifts I also illustrate how Toraja architectural carvings serve as vehicles for the rearticulation of assorted sets of rank, ethnic, regional, and political relationships. A key objective in this article is to highlight the complicated and often ironic relations between material culture, identity negotiation, and human agency. Drawing on Scott (1985, 1990), I suggest that while art may serve as a weapon of the weak, it can also be a weak weapon. [identity, art, ethnicity, tourism, agency, Indonesia, Toraja] EARLY IMAGES OF TORAJA IDENTITY In the first decade of this century, a British adventurer named J. MacMillan Brown traveled through the Dutch East Indies. His voyage included several weeks in Celebes (Sulawesi), where he hoped to encounter the highland Toraja people or, as he dubbed them, "the Pacific wild men." Brown's disappointment with the "tame and Christianized specimens" of Torajas he encountered in the Lake Poso region of Sulawesi is evident in his account of his travels, where he bemoans the extensive influence of missionaries and Chinese and Arab traders and laments that "the old head-hunting and banquets on an enemy's blood and brains are mere traditions" (Brown 1914:118).

Each provides the legitimacy of the architecture of identity formation. This paper seeks to explore the comparative, the concept of homogeneity and hybridity architecture, with a critical theory approach. The results of this search is, the concept of architectural homogeneity establishing assumption that certain architectural forms are supposed to represent "universal identity and modernity" of Muslim architecture. Meanwhile, the concept of architectural hybridity to show enrichment architecture identity because of the attempt to combine aspects of the universality of Islam with locality of Nusantara. Both these aspects can be positioned as the two subjects of mutual dialogue in a parallel position. As architecture strategy, the concept of hybridity reflects the effort or ijtihad in interpreting local and universal contextuality in the contemporary conditions that are constantly evolving and open. Keywords: Nusantara mosque, hybridity of architecture, homogeneity of architecture, architecture strategy Abstrak Ada dua titik tolak dalam desain arsitektur masjid di Nusantara, yaitu arsitektur homogenitas dan arsitektur hibriditas.

A particular place, situation, or location. The position or site of something. In linguistics, vernacular refers to language use particular to a time, place or group. In architecture, it refers to that type of architecture which is original to a specific time or place (not imported or copied from elsewhere). It is most often applied to residential buildings. Introduction to locality and Vernacular The reference book of Vernacular Architecture of the World defines vernacular architecture as: people. Related to their environmental contexts and available resources they are normally owner- or community-built, utilizing traditional technologies. All forms of vernacular architecture are built to meet specific needs, accommodating the values,- Staircaseseconomies throughand historyways by Evaof Jiricnalife of the cultures that produce them. Introduction to locality and Vernacular Vernacular architecture is an architectural style that is designed based on the local needs, availability of construction materials and reflecting local traditions. At least originally, vernacular architecture did not use formally-schooled architects, but relied on the design skills and tradition of local builders. However, since the late 19th century many professional architects have worked in versions of this style like Bernard Rudofsky (1905-1988) and Hassan Fathy (1900-1989) 6 Introduction to locality and Vernacular Introduction to locality and Vernacular Iraqi vernacular Korean vernacular This kind of architecture still plays a role in architecture and design, especially in local branches.

  • The Royal Mosques in Indonesia from 16Th to Early 20Th Centuries As a Power Representation
    I.P. Nasution, Int. J. of Herit. Archit., Vol. 1, No. 3 (2017) 494–502 THE ROYAL MOSQUES IN INDONESIA FROM 16TH TO EARLY 20TH CENTURIES AS A POWER REPRESENTATION ISMAN Pratama NASUTION Department of Archaeology, Faculty of Humanities, Universitas Indonesia, Indonesia. ABstract This study describes the characteristics of the royal mosques in Indonesia from the 16th century to the early 20th century through the architectural and archaeological study of the building’s components. Royal mosques are meaningful in the concept of building because they are the places for sultans and their people to pray, and these mosques are located in the capital cities of the Islamic empires that rep- resent the sultans and became the identity of the characters of the Islamic empires in the past. Through architectural and archaeological studies of several kingdom’s mosques in Java, Sumatra, Borneo, Sulawesi and North Maluku, this research observes the data with the context of space (spatial) with the central government (the palace), squares, markets, tombs and other buildings of a king. In addition, this paper studied the aspects of power relations with the palace mosque as the centre of power, to reveal the power of representation in the mosque, with attention to the style of the building and ritual. The results obtained show that the royal mosques in Indonesia have special characteristics displayed in the building form and the local ritual practices that are different from non-royal mosques and the mosques outside of Indonesia as a strategy and resistance against global Islamic power relations in the past. Keywords: identity and resistance, royal mosque, the representation of power.

In the course of writing it morphed into a slightly different offering. While a general overview remains, covering linguistic problems and interrelationships, the paper not only offers a basic thesis about Vernacular/Ethnic architecture – thatthe central purpose of vernacular architecture isto inform the present, not to define the past, it also suggeststhe proof. In the course of outlining this idea, works contributed to two former books are cited. The first, Home- A Portfolio of Home over the Ages generated a basic structure for the purpose of analysing the generic features of home. Work previously unpublished is included to reveal the logic and method behind the eight historical chapters in the book. The second Vernacular Transformations – Architecture, Place and Tradition, specifically chapter one, illustrates the development of the thesis in significant detail, and modifies the original model on critique. The article concludes by suggesting that the thesis has been adequately supported, and that the method derived from realist philosophy using necessary and contingent features is useful until someone can improve on this overall system. Keywords: vernacular; ethnic; necessary and contingent features; counter representation.

  • Boat Representation in Nusantara Architecture
    International Journal of Architecture and Urbanism Vol. 03, No. 01, 2019 | 81- 94 Boat Representation in Nusantara Architecture Vini Asfarilla 1*, Yulianto P. Prihatmaji 1 1Department of Architecture, Faculty of Civil Engineering and Planning, Universitas Islam Indonesia, Yogyakarta, Indonesia Abstract. Architecture is one of the arts of cultural product, archipelago culture rooted in traditional culture, vice versa. Traditional architecture is very diverse in Indonesia, along with the diversity of its ethnic. Traditional architecture is building with form and function which has its own characteristic, inherited from generation to generation that can be used to hold activity by the people around it. Therefore, traditional architecture is the cultural expression and direct reflection in presenting something by its people. Some Nusantara Architectures adopt boat as the representation for building’s form. Therefore, the author is interested to prove the correlation of boat as representation in some archipelago architectures. This research uses data search method through literature studies by collecting data on some researched archipelago architecture buildings' form and construction system. From these data, a correlation between boat form representation and construction system used in boats and buildings can be concluded. Keyword: nusantara architecture, form of architecture, boat construction, boat representation. 1. Introduction Nusantara architecture is a shelter architecture that develops in humid tropics. Spread over the Archipelago around 17,000 islands, located in the ring fire region of the world, have wet forest wealth that is able to contribute oxygen to the world significantly.
