Palm Oil Research Centre (Ppks) and Agency of Sumatera Plantation Companies (Bks - Pps) STUDY OF THE ELEMENTS OF FAÇADE OF COLONIAL BUILDINGS, CASE STUDY: PALM OIL RESEARCH CENTRE (PPKS) AND AGENCY OF SUMATERA PLANTATION COMPANIES (BKS - PPS) Diana Harefa*, Shanty Silitonga; Raimundus Pakpahan Architecture Department, Faculty of Engineering, Catholic University of Saint Thomas, Medan, North Sumatera Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Dutch plantation expansion in the city of Medan left many historical buildings. The plantation building is a historical legacy that must be preserved. G.H Mulder was one of the architects of the time, with his work on the Palm Oil Research Center (PPKS) and the Sumatra Plantation Cooperation Agency (BKS-PPS). The facade is an inseparable element of the architectural product, which is the first element that we capture visually. This research studied and analyzed the elements of colonial architecture that form the facade of The Plantation Development of the Oil Palm Research Center (PPKS) and the building of the Sumatra Plantation Cooperation Agency (BKS-PPS). The research method used in this study is a qualitative method with variables such as walls, columns, doors, windows, vents, roofs, balcony, and ground floor zones. The study founded that the two estate buildings had the characteristics of the transitional colonial architectural period, accompanied by a grouping of similarities in the elements of the two facade. Despite having the same function, architect, and construction period, the two buildings still have differences in the characteristics in facade elements and the visual quality Keywords: Colonial building, Elements of façade INTRODUCTION is seen at first, the facade also displays the history of human civilization [1]. Medan is a historic city; it was known as Therefore, researchers are interested in Paris Van Sumatra. There are many buildings examining more deeply the elements forming with historical value in the city of Medan, from the two facades of PPKS and BKS-PPS, what several studies it is concluded that these are the characteristics of the architectural buildings have undergone several adaptations facade of Dutch colonialism applied to the two or transitional. buildings and how is the comparison between The history of Medan cannot be separated the two buildings. from the expansion of plantation in the city of Medan. G.H Mulder was one of the architects Façade Review at that time, and he designed two buildings in The word facade is taken from the Latin Medan; the Oil Palm Research Center (PPKS) word "facies," which is a synonym of the and the Sumatra Plantation Corporation words ‘face’ and 'appearance’ [2].

  • Type-Planned Houses
    Type-planned houses My intertextual study is about very common type of finnish house, better known as”veteran- house” or “type-planned house”. These houses were build after the Second World War and they were one of the key factors in solving the huge housing shortage after the war. Finland ceded most of Finnish Karelia, Salla, and Pechenga to Soviet Union and half a million people had to leave their homes. Over half of the evacuees were agricultural population. They received new farms in Southern Finland as compensation for their losses. The huge rebuilding project was organised by the government, helped by countless organisations. They promised land to war invalids, war widows and veterans with families. Sweden also donated 2000 houses after the war. The most important co-operator was the Finnish Association of Architects, whose members voluntarily and free of charge developed and designed type-planned houses and town plans. File was created for the publication of type- planned house blueprints, building instructions and individual standards. There were dozens of different models of the type-planned houses, but the most common model became the 1,5-storied clapboard house with a saddle roof. These houses spread from the rural Finland to population centres and towns. All in all, around 75.000 veteran’s houses were built during the reconstruction era 1940-1960. After the war Finland had a shortage of everything else, except land, timber and working hands. For example people re-used old nails, straightened them and nailed again and they mixed stones with concrete. For years, the industrial production went to the Soviet Union as war indemnities.

  • Protruding Saddle Roof Structure of Toraja, Minang and Toba Batak House: Learning from Traditional Structure System
    Protruding Saddle Roof Structure of Toraja, Minang and Toba Batak House: Learning from Traditional Structure System Esti Asih Nurdiah Department of Architecture, Faculty of Civil Engineering and Planning, Petra Christian University, Indonesia [email protected] ABSTRACT Structure system of Nusantara Architecture has been known for its durability. Traditional structure knowledge was passed from generation through folksong, storytelling or old verse. Toraja, Minang, and Toba Batak have similar house roof shape which is gable roof with protruding at the end like buffalo horn. The similarities in structural system need to be elaborate. This paper attempts to seek the structural system of Toraja, Minangkabau and Toba Batak house, especially the roof structure system. The research conducted to discover the similarities of the roof structure system, study the construction and tectonics, and also learn the load transfer. By learning from local knowledge of building structure system, people can learn to build new buildings using local wisdom, instead of only imitate the form. © 2011 12th SENVAR. All rights reserved. Keywords: Structure system, Toraja, Batak Toba, Minang house 1. Introduction Nusantara archipelago has thousands of islands which scattered in Pacific and Indian ocean. Indonesia itself has more than 13,000 islands, inhabited by many tribes with different culture, tradition and architecture. Moreover, the beauty and uniqueness of house form represent as identity for each tribe. Every tribe who lives in different location has different form and shape of house, especially the roof shape. The houses are the symbolic center of a web of customs, social relations, traditional laws, taboos, myths and religion (Dawson & Gillow, 1994:10) Structure system of Nusantara Architecture, which also known as traditional architecture, has been known for its durability.

  • “Keongan” Ventilation Roof on Local Houses in Semarang City Indonesia
    International Journal of Scientific and Research Publications, Volume 6, Issue 12, December 2016 130 ISSN 2250-3153 “Keongan” Ventilation Roof on Local Houses in Semarang City Indonesia Sukawi*, Agung Dwiyanto**, Suzanna Ratih Sari**, Gagoek Hardiman** * Study Program of D3 Architectural Design, Faculty of Engineering, Diponegoro University Semarang, Indonesia ** Department of Architecture, Faculty of Engineering, Diponegoro University Semarang, Indonesia Abstract- Keongan is a kind of roof ventilation usually used in indonesian local houses. In a humid tropical climate, in general, the building is designed with natural ventilation system that maximizes the speed of wind in order to cooling the building structure or reach the achievement of physiological comfort. Some of the building design features in a tropical climate, such as the existence of wide openings, roofs with a slope angle, have a plafond, and maximizing the shades around the building. The density of buildings is one of the factors which affect the principle of micro-climatic conditions and determine the conditions of ventilation and air temperature. Heat symptoms in main cities affected by urban density rather than the size of the city itself, the more dense, the worse the condition of the building ventilation. Architecture of buildings, tried to adapt to the nature and tried to blend with nature. Norms, customs, climate, culture, beliefs and local materials will be given its own color in the development of vernacular architecture. The long journey through trial and error with the local genius, is capable to displaying it’s identity. Several features of houses in Semarang Village include : symmetrical floorplans extends to the rear, circulation straight from front to rear, limasan roof or saddle roof, three openings (doors) on the facade, door consists of two doors, Ornaments eaves (lisplank) on the front facade, the Consul made of iron or wood with the formation of ornamentation, Ornaments on bouven above the door.
