Sustainable Architectural Investigations on Bugis Vernacular House: Case Study of Tenun Tourism Village, Samarinda Seberang, East Kalimantan, Indonesia

Sustainability is a global problem, and architecture can contribute through vernacular architecture. To find out the potential of vernacular architecture to contribute, it is necessary to study sustainable architecture in vernacular houses. In this study, an investigation of sustainable architecture in Bugis vernacular houses will be carried out with a case study of the Tenun Tourism Village. We find that to contribute to the field of architecture, an approach through the concept of sustainable architecture is needed, one of which is green architecture. Thus, we conclude that there is a need for a sustainable architectural investigation of Bugis vernacular houses with green architecture approach and through the assessment of EDGE indicators. The results of this study indicate that the Bugis vernacular architecture in the Tenun Tourism Village can contribute to the issue of sustainability. However, it needs some renovations and additional technology. In addition, the material efficiency can still be maintained even though the material is replaced with the latest material.

My rural, vernacular house in context to COVID-19

Vernacular architecture offers clues and lessons to people. Purpose of this paper is thus to explore and identify attributes of a particular piece of vernacular architecture and try to relate it in context to COVID-19. It highlights attributes of the house in context to reimagining and redesigning built environment in days of COVID-19. Said piece of vernacular architecture is my ancestral house which no more exists since 55 years in a village I am from. Its plan, form, building materials and setting in a village teaches few things. House of single storey in mud construction was over a small plot of about 9 meters by 12.5 meters. Top of compound wall was above eye level offering great privacy and insider naturally avails environ offering pleasant solitude, the need of COVID-19. When one entered plot of house from road through compound gate on south-west direction of a plot, one is in a small courtyard. Immediate to entrance at compound gate was a room of about 2.5 meters by 2.5 meters with a veranda of about 2 meters by 2.5 meters. This space called “Gadaaro” was for male guests and males of a family. Courtyard which contained two cows continued beyond Gadaaro. Abutting on northern wall of a plot were walls of 3 rooms namely kitchen (northwest), a general room and a bed room (north east). From a courtyard one could enter to a general room leading to kitchen on its west and bed room on its east. Plan remained closer to what one needs to reimagine today in COVID-19. Construction from local building materials; mud-walls and a country tiled sloping roof offered many things expected in COVID-19. Findings here are that environ, house plan and construction materials has to be such that one can leave in for a long period without coming in contact with outdoors for days. House plan shall be fully contained and complete in itself.

KONSEP ISLAM YANG MENDASARI PEMBENTUKAN DESA DESA DI PEGUNUNGAN DIENG

Rumah vernakular menarik untuk diteliti termasuk dari kinerja Keberadaan gua-gua kuno di Dieng, menunjukkan aktivitas peribadatan telah berlangsung lama sebelum masuknya pengaruh Hindu dan Budha (Rahardjo, 2002:175). Penyebaran Islam di Wonosobo dan sekitarnya, diperkirakan bermula di Dataran Tinggi Dieng pada jaman Raden Patah (1478-1513). (Babad Kedu). Desa Kreo Kecamatan Kejajar adalah merupakan desa tertua di Pegunungan Dieng. Bermula dari satu desa kemudian tumbuh beberapa desa di sekitarnya, selanjutnya meluas lebih jauh sampai desa-desa yang lebih jauh letaknya. Seperti yang disampaikan oleh Nastiti (1995), bahwa konsep permukiman Jawa Kuno dilandasi oleh konsep kerukunan yang dibangun oleh kekerabatan. Sehingga patut diduga bahwa terbentuknya desa-desa di Pegunungan Dieng dibangun oleh nilai-nilai ajaran Islam. Penelitian ini berusaha untuk menggali tentang konsep kekerabatan yang didalamnya terkandung nilai-nilai Islam dengan metode fenomenologi. Dari analisa ditemukan bahwa sistem kekerabatan yang didalamnya terkandung konsep nyepetno laku dan konsep brayan menjadi landasan masyarakat Dieng didalam membangun permukimannya. The vernacular house is interesting to study, including the performance of the existence of ancient caves in Dieng, showing worship activities had taken place long before the entry of Hindu and Buddhist influences (Rahardjo, 2002: 175). The spread of Islam in Wonosobo and its surroundings, is estimated to begin in the Dieng Plateau in the days of Raden Patah (1478-1513). (Babad Kedu). Kreo Village, Kejajar District, is the oldest village in the Dieng Mountains. Starting from one village and then growing several villages in the vicinity, then extending further to the villages that are farther away. As stated by Nastiti (1995), that the concept of Old Javanese settlements is based on the concept of harmony built by kinship. So it should be suspected that the formation of villages in the Dieng Mountains was built by the values ​​of Islamic teachings. This study seeks to explore the concept of kinship which contains Islamic values ​​using the phenomenological method. From the analysis it was found that the kinship system which contained the concept of nyepetno behavior and the concept of Brayan became the foundation of the Dieng community in building their settlements.

SYMBOLIC USE OF DOMESTIC SPACE IN THE UPPER SVANETIAN (GEORGIA) VERNACULAR HOUSE

Upper Svaneti (Georgia) is a territory in almost permanent isolation amid the Caucasus mountain range. This strategic position, along with the military nature of its settlements made its defence so effective that Svaneti served as Georgia`s safehouse, protecting its chief historical and religious relics in times of crisis. This isolation also ensured the preservation of archaic cultural traditions and ancient rituals, such as animal sacrifices, ritual shaving and blood feuds, establishing what is known as popular religion. Some of these rituals, mainly those performed by women, take place in the domestic space. This paper, developed under the scope of the 3DPast project, aims to interpret the symbolic use of space in vernacular houses of Upper Svaneti. The methodological strategy combines architectonic survey with documental analysis and brings forward an interpretation of this vernacular house from a space anthropology perspective. The traditional svanetian house (machubi), is composed of a single volume, of rough quadrangular plan. The ground floor (machub) houses, during winter, the family and the cattle, while the upper floor (darbazi) was mostly used as the family residence during warmer periods. This analysis will focus specifically on the machub, where there are traces of the symbolic use of domestic space. The machub is composed of a single space with a central fireplace. This element is the axis of segmentation of female and male spaces inside the house. The present paper will address this gender-differentiated symbolic use of the domestic space through the scope of anthropology and of the Svanetian history.
