introduction

 INDONESIA

Capital: Jakarta
Form of government: Elected Legislature and President

Indonesia is a country with a vast natural beauty stretching from


Sabang to Merauke. It is a sovereign state in Southeast Asia and
Oceania and is an archipelago comprising 13,466 islands. It
encompasses 33 provinces and 1 Special Administrative Region (for
being governed by a pre-colonial monarchy) with over 238 million
people, making it the world's fourth most populous country.
introduction

 Indonesia consists of hundreds of distinct
native ethnic and linguistic groups.
 A shared identity has developed, defined by a national language,
ethnic diversity, religious pluralism within a majority Muslim
population, and a history of colonialism and rebellion against it.
 Despite its large population and densely populated regions,
Indonesia has vast areas of wilderness that support the world's
second highest level of biodiversity. The country has abundant
natural resources, yet poverty remains widespread.

Javanese – largest – and politically dominant – ethnic group


Motto: "Bhinneka Tunggal Ika" ("Unity in Diversity" literally, "many, yet one"),
articulates the diversity that shapes the country
Architecture of
Indonesia 
The Architecture of Indonesia reflects the diversity of cultural,
historical and geographic influences that have shaped Indonesia
as a whole. Invaders, colonizers, missionaries, merchants and
traders brought cultural changes that had a profound effect on
building styles and techniques. Traditionally, the most significant
foreign influence has been Indian. However, Chinese, Arab—
and since the 18th and 19th centuries—European influences
have played significant roles too in shaping Indonesian
architecture.

climate

The climate of Indonesia is almost entirely tropical.
Temperature varies little from season to season, and
Indonesia experiences relatively little change in the length
of daylight hours from one season to the next; the
difference between the longest day and the shortest
day of the year is only forty-eight minutes. This allows
crops to be grown all year round.
climate

Influence to Architecture

 Row houses, canals and enclosed solid walls - first thought as


protection against tropical diseases coming from tropical air, years
later the Dutch learnt to adapt their architectural style with local
building features (long eaves, verandahs, porticos, large windows
and ventilation openings)

 The sharply inclined roof allows the heavy tropical rain to quickly
sheet off, and large overhanging eaves keep water out of the
house and provide shade in the heat. In hot and humid-low lying
coastal regions, homes can have many windows providing good
cross-ventilation, whereas in cooler mountainous interior areas,
homes often have a vast roof and few windows.
climate

Influence to Architecture

 The Indo-European hybrid villa of the 19th century was among the
first colonial buildings to incorporate Indonesian architectural
elements and attempt adapting to the climate. The basic form,
such as the longitudinal organizations of spaces and use of joglo
and limasan roof structures, was Javanese, but incorporated
European decorative elements such as neo-classical columns
around deep verandahs.
geography

Indonesia is an archipelagic island country in Southeast Asia, lying
between the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. It is in a strategic
location astride or along major sea lanes from Indian Ocean to Pacific
Ocean. The country's variations in culture have been shaped—
although not specifically determined—by centuries of complex
interactions with the physical environment. Although Indonesians are
now less vulnerable to the effects of nature as a result of improved
technology and social programs, to some extent their social diversity
has emerged from traditionally different patterns of adjustment to
their physical circumstances.
geography

Influence to Architecture

 Building houses off the ground allows breezes to moderate the hot
tropical temperatures; it elevates the dwelling above storm water
runoff and mud; it allows houses to be built on rivers and wetland
margins; it keeps people, goods and food from dampness and
moisture; lifts living quarters above malaria-carrying mosquitos;
and reduces the risk of dry rot and termites.

 The sharply inclined roof allows the heavy tropical rain to quickly
sheet off, and large overhanging eaves keep water out of the
house and provide shade in the heat.
geography

Influence to Architecture

 In hot and humid low-lying coastal regions, homes can have many
windows providing good cross-ventilation, whereas in cooler
mountainous interior areas, homes often have a vast roof and few
windows. Traditional buildings in Indonesia are built on stilts with
oversized saddle roofs which have been the home of the Batak and
the Toraja.
religion

 The first principle of Indonesia's philosophical foundation,
Pancasila, is "belief in the one and only God".

 A number of different religions are practiced in the country, and


their collective influence on the country's political, economic and
cultural life is significant.

 The Indonesian Constitution guarantees freedom of religion.


religion

 The government only recognizes six official religions (Islam,
Protestantism, Catholicism, Hinduism, Buddhism and
Confucianism).

 Indonesian law requires that every Indonesian citizen hold


an identity card that identifies that person with one of these six
religions, although citizens may be able to leave that section
blank.

 agnosticism or atheism, and blasphemy is illegal.


religion

Influence to Architecture

 Architecture in Indonesia focuses on defining terms that relate to


their religions such as; Islam, Buddhist, early Indonesia Hindu, and
Balinese Hindu.
 They make representations of religious sculptures, carvings, and
temples. It is important to realize that the Indonesian forms of the
above religions have been adapted to accommodate pre-existing
Indonesian beliefs and customs and that this is evident in the
religious architecture found in Indonesia today.
 Architectural heritage influences by religious are commonly found
in Java.
Types of Architecture

religious architecture

Although religious architecture has been widespread in
Indonesia, the most significant was developed in Java. The
island's long tradition of religious syncretism extended to
architecture, which fostered uniquely Javanese styles of
Hindu, Buddhist, Islamic, and to a lesser extent, Christian
architecture.
• Candi = Religious structures
- large and sophisticated,
tower-like structures
- built in Java during the peak
of Indonesia’s Great Hindu-Buddhist
Kingdoms (18th-14th Century)

The earliest surviving Hindu temples in


Java are at the Dieng Plateau, thought
to have originally numbered as many as
400, only 8 remain today.

* Dieng Structures
- small and relatively plain

But architecture developed substantially Complek Candi Arjuna


and just 100 years later the second
Kingdom of Mataram built the
Prambanan complex near Yogyakarta;
considered largest and finest example
of Hindu architecture in Java.
The origin of Buddhist
and Hindu temple are
built of stone, which is
raised on a basement
and surmounted by a
stepped pyramidal
roof, ornamented with
relics. In symbolic
terms, the building is as
a representation of the
Candi Prambanan, Yogyakarta, Indonesia
legendary Mount
Meru, which in Hindu-
Buddhist mythology is
identified as the
residence of the gods.
• Buddhist monument, Borobudur
- a World Heritage site
- built by the Sailendra Dynasty
between 750 and 850 AD, but it was
abandoned shortly after its completion
as a result of the decline of Buddhism
and a shift of power to eastern Java.
- contains a vast number of
intricate carvings that tell a story as one
moves through to the upper levels,
metaphorically reaching enlightenment.

With the decline of the Mataram


Kingdom, eastern Java became the
focus of religious architecture with an
exuberant style reflecting Shaivist,
Buddhist and Javanese influences; a
fusion that was characteristic of religion
throughout Java.
Burobudor Temple, Java
The Majapahit Era

• The use of bricks in Indonesia’s


Classical Era
– mastered by the Majapahit
builders, using a mortar of vine sap and
palm sugar
• Temples of Majapahit
- have a strong geometrical
quality with a sense of verticality
achieved through the use of numerous
horizontal lines often with an almost
art-deco sense of streamlining and
proportion

Majapahit influences can be seen today


in the enormous number of Hindu
temples of varying sizes spread
throughout Bali. Although they have Majapahit Hindu Temple

elements in common with global Hindu


styles, they are of a style largely unique
to Bali and owe much to the Majapahit
era.
Mosques

(15th Century)

Islam had become the dominant religion


in Java and Sumatra, Indonesia's two
most populous islands; absorbed and
reinterpreted, with mosques given a
unique Indonesian/Javanese
interpretation.
Menara Kudus Mosque in Kudus

Javanese Mosques
- took many design cues from
Hindu, Buddhist, and even Chinese
architectural influences
- lacked, for example, the
ubiquitous Islamic dome which did not
appear in Indonesia until the 19th century,
- had tall timber, multi-level
roofs similar to the pagodas of Balinese
Hindu temples still common today
Sultan Suriansyah Mosque in Banjarmasin
Mosques

(19th Century)

- sultanates of Indonesian
archipelago began to adopt and absorb
foreign influences of Islamic architecture
- The Indo-Islamic and Moorish
style are particularly favoured Bandah Aceh Baiturrahman Grand Mosque

as displayed in Banda Aceh Baiturrahman


Grand Mosque built in 1881, and Medan
Grand Mosque built in 1906
- mosques have tended to be
built in styles more consistent with global
Islamic styles, which mirror the trend in
Indonesia towards more orthodox
practice of Islam

Medan Grand Mosque


Gala Mosque, Tembayat

- the oldest mosque in Java that


survives through time
- one of the examples of Indo-
Javanese culture style “top of the hill
building” – one characteristic of the
Hindu-Buddhist religious buildings in Java,
while the tick wall was influenced from
Gujarati architecture and the “tajug”
wooden-tile roof structure was from
Javanese traditional architecture
- set as the Objects of Cultural
Property (Tangible Heritage) by the
Indonesian Institute for Preservation of
Archaeological Heritage (BP3) based on
Law No. 5 year 1992

traditional and vernacular
architecture 
 Traditional and vernacular architecture in Indonesia originates from
two sources. One is the great Hindu tradition brought to Indonesia
from India via Java. The second is an indigenous architecture pre-
dating the Hindu epic.

 It has its own unique form because Indonesia has 33 provinces; each of
Indonesia’s ethnic groups has its own distinctive form of the
traditional vernacular architecture, known as Rumah adat.

 Traditional Indonesian homes are not architect designed, rather


villagers build their own homes, or community will their resources for
a structure built under the direction of a master builder and/or a
carpenter.
Rumah Adat

- Rumah adat or Custom


House is at the center of a web of
customs, social relations, traditional
taboos, myths, and religions that
villagers together.
- The house provides the
focus for the family and its
and is the point of departure for Rumah Adat Batak

activities of its residents.


Construction System:
Characteristics • post, beam and lintel
• timber construction, structural system with either
• varied and elaborate roof wooden or bamboo walls that
• longhouses on stilts are non-load bearing
• steep sloping roofs and heavy • rather than nails, mortis and
• Built on stilts except for Java and tenon joints and wooden
pegs are used
Some of the more significant and distinctive rumah adat include:

• Batak architecture (North Sumatra) includes the boat-shaped jabu homes of the
Toba Batak people, with dominating carved gables and dramatic oversized roof,
and is based on an ancient model.

• The Minangkabau of West Sumatra builds the rumah gadang, distinctive for their
multiple gables with dramatically upsweeping ridge ends.

• The homes of Nias peoples include the omo sebua chiefs' houses built on massive
ironwood pillars with towering roofs. Not only are they almost impregnable to
attack in former tribal warfare, but flexible nail-less construction provide proven
earthquake durability.

• Rumah Melayu Malay traditional houses built on stilts of Sumatra, Borneo and Malay
Borneo and Malay Peninsula.

• The Riau region is characterized by villages built on stilts over waterways.

• Unlike most South East Asian vernacular homes, Javanese joglo are not built on
piles, and have become the Indonesian vernacular style most influenced by
European architectural elements.
• The Bubungan Tinggi, with their steeply pitched roofs, is the large homes
of Banjarese royalty and aristocrats in South Kalimantan.

• Traditional Balinese homes are a collection of individual; largely open structures


(including separate structures for the kitchen, sleeping areas, bathing areas and
shrine) within a high-walled garden compound.

• The Sasak people of Lombok build lumbung, pile-built bonnet-roofed rice barns,
that are often more distinctive and elaborate than their houses.

• Dayak people traditionally live in communal longhouses that are built on piles. The
houses can exceed 300 m in length, in some cases forming a whole village.

• The Toraja of the Sulawesi highlands are renowned for their tongkonan, houses
built on piles and dwarfed by massive exaggerated-pitch saddle roofs.

• Rumah adat on Sumba have distinctive thatched "high hat" roofs and are wrapped
wrapped with sheltered verandahs.

• The Papuan Dani traditionally live in small family compounds composed of several
circular huts known as honay with thatched dome roofs.
palace architecture

 Istana (or "palace") architecture of the various kingdoms and


realms of Indonesia is more often than not based on the
vernacular and domestic styles of the area. Royal courts, however,
were able to develop much grander and elaborate versions of this
traditional architecture.
Javanese Kraton (Keraton – Javanese
Royal palace)

Joglo Roof Frame Characteristics:


• large pendopos (pavilion) of the
joglo roof form
• with tumpang sari ornamentation
that are elaborate but based on
common Javanese forms.

Architectural Elements of Rumah Gadang

Each element of a rumah gadang has its own symbolic meaning, which is referred to in
adapt speech and aphorisms. The elements of a rumah gadang include:

• gonjong, hornlike roof structure


• singkok, triangular wall under the ends of gonjong
• pereng, shelf under the singkok
• anjuang, raised floor at the end of one style of rumah gadang
• dindiang ari, the walls on the side elevations
• dindiang tapi, the walls on the front and back elevations
• papan banyak, front façade
• papan sakapiang, a shelf or middle band on the periphery of the house

Some symbolisms of the house:
• relate to the gonjong reaching to god
• dindiang tapi, which is traditionally made of plaited strips of bamboo, symbolizing
symbolizing the strength and utility of the community which is formed when

Minangkabau become part of the larger community instead of standing alone.


The pillars of the ideal rumah gadang are arranged in five rows which run the length of
the house. These rows divide the interior into four long spaces called lanjar.
The lanjar at the rear of the house is divided into bedrooms (ruang). According to adat,
a rumah gadang must have at least five ruang, and the ideal number is nine. The
other lanjar are used as a common area, called the labuah gajah (elephant road), for
living and ceremonial events.

A number of rice barns (rangkiang) ideally accompany a rumah gadang, with each
having a different name and function. The rangkiang sitinjau lauik, contains rice for the
family, particularly for adat ceremonies. The rangkiang sitangka lapa contains rice for
donation to poor villagers and for times of famine in the village. The rangkiang sibayau-
bayaucontains rice for the daily needs of the family.
colonial architecture

 16th and 17th centuries
- arrival of European powers in Indonesia who used masonry for much of
their construction.
- One of the first major Dutch settlements was Batavia (later named
Jakarta) which in the 17th and 18th centuries was a fortified brick and masonry city.
- the Dutch learnt to adapt their architectural style with local building
features (long eaves, verandahs, porticos, large windows and ventilation openings)

 The Indo-European hybrid villa of the 19th century was among the first colonial
buildings to incorporate Indonesian architectural elements and attempt
adapting to the climate. The basic form, such as the longitudinal organization
of spaces and use of joglo and limasan roof structures, was Javanese, but it
incorporated European decorative elements such as neo-classical columns
around deep verandahs.

- improvements to technology,
communications and transportation
- Modernistic buildings required
for such development appeared in great
numbers, and were heavily influenced by
international styles – includes train
stations, business hotels, factories and
office blocks, hospitals and education

*Bali
-Colonial rule was never as
extensive as it was in Java
— it was only in 1906, for example, that
the Dutch gained full control of the
island—and consequently the island only
has a limited stock of colonial architecture
- The hill town of Munduk, a
town amongst plantations established by
the Dutch, is Bali's only other significant
group of colonial architecture; a number
of mini mansions in the Balinese-Dutch
style still survive.

influenced by the new European ideas
than colonial architecture was influenced

environment today
post independence
architecture
 Early twentieth century modernisms are still very evident across much of
Indonesia, again mostly in Java

 1930s world depression was devastating to Java, and was followed by


another decade of war, revolution and struggle, which restricted the
development of the built environment

 the Javanese art-deco style from the 1920s became the root for the first
Indonesian national style in the 1950s

 The politically turbulent 1950s meant that the new but bruised Indonesia
was neither able to afford or focused to follow the new international
movements such as modernist brutalism
“Let us prove that we can also build the country like the Europeans and
Americans do because we are equal” – Sukarno

Despite the new country's economic woes, government-funded major


projects were undertaken in the modernist style, particularly in the
capital Jakarta. Reflecting President Sukarno's political views, the architecture is
openly nationalistic and strives to show the new nation’s pride in itself. Projects
approved by Sukarno, himself a civil engineer who had acted as an architect,
include:
• A clover-leaf highway.
• A broad by-pass in Jakarta (Jalan Sudirman).
• Four high-rise hotels including the famous Hotel Indonesia.
• A new parliament building.
• The 127 000-seat Bung Karno Stadium.
• Numerous monuments including The National Monument.
• Istiqlal Mosque, Jakarta the largest mosque in Southeast Asia.
• 1950s jengki style
- so named after Indonesian references to the American armed forces as
'yankee', was a distinctive Indonesian architectural style that emerged. The
modernist cubic and strict geometric forms that the Dutch had used before World
War II were transformed into more complicated volumes, such as pentagons or
other irregular solids. This architecture is an expression of the political spirit of
freedom among the Indonesians.

• The International Style dominated in Indonesia in the 1970s, as it did in much of


the rest of the world

• The 1970s saw the Indonesian government promote indigenous Indonesian


forms. Constructed in 1975, the Taman Mini Indonesia Indah theme park re-
created over twenty buildings of exaggerated proportions to showcase
Indonesian traditional vernacular forms.

• By the 1980s in particular, most public buildings were built with exaggerated
elements of traditional vernacular forms.

 The 1970s, 1980s and 1990s saw foreign investment and economic growth;
large construction booms brought major changes to Indonesian cities,
including the replacement of the early twentieth styles with late modern and
postmodern styles

 Many new buildings are clad with shiny glass surfaces to reflect the tropical
sun. Architectural styles are influenced by developments in architecture
internationally, including the introduction of deconstructivism architecture.

 Following the pattern of colonial architecture in Malaysia and Singapore,


architects in the former Dutch East Indies relieved heavily on imported

made up of bent timber rafters
converging on a key piece at the apex,
between which is suspended a composite
“roofnet” of steel cables and lattice
timber frameworks, supporting clay roof
tiles. Overhead windows with
overlapping, open panes of glass ensure
adequate light and ventilation at the
apex. The Cupola, like ancillary structures,
was originally open at ground level in the
fashion of the indigenous pendopo, or
open pillared hall, commonly used for
dance and dramas. It has since been
walled in, to the detriment of design.

The difference of Western and Indonesian architecture according to
Dutch architect is correlation between building and people. Western
architecture (occidental) is a totality construction, while Indonesian’s
have been developed as subjective matter, elementary, with
preferring outside appearance especially front façade. The natural
condition between the sub-tropical Netherlands and wet-tropical
Indonesia is also the main consideration of Dutch buildings in
