FAMILY SYSTEM
Rumah panjang of South kalimantan/ West
Sumatera.
These houses built big to accommodate more
than one family.
FAMILY SYSTEM
The house of Dani people are built linked to their
stocks barn and their wife’s houses.
The men live together, as well
as the wives live together with
their closest relative.
TYPES OF FOOD
GATHERING METHOD
Fisherman/hunter/farmer/breeder, each type will
create different architectural output.
Fishermans will often build their houses at the
coast, facing sea, and sturdy.
On contrary, hunters will build their houses with
the ability to move, following the animals.
RELIGION/BELIEFS
The Javanese believe that men are created in
different social hierarchy.
Therefore, houses for common people are
different from the priyayis, or from the kings.
The door which lead to king’s court often hang
low, making the attendant to bow compulsarily
when they enter.
This low door only exists at king’s palace.
RELIGION/BELIEFS
The Danis and Sumbas, for example, are
cultures that believe that ancestors and the
deads, were still dwell among them.
Thus, the house for the deads (tomb) are built
inside the village.
RELIGION/BELIEFS
More than half Nusantara’s culture believing
ornament do has “power.”
Ornaments can take form as a graphic painting,
sculpture, or structural detail.
TECHNOLOGY
Villages build close to each other will usually
tempt food gathering competition, eventually
leads to warring villages. This environment force
the villages to build their houses high and well
defended.
ENVIRONMENT
TECHNOLOGY
Different knowledge will
provide unique
approach to solve
technical aspects
for their architecture.
ENVIRONMENT
TECHNOLOGY
Different environment
supplies different
building materials.
ENVIRONMENT
GENES and RACES
Certain races have their people slender, small,
short, slim, big, tall or gigantic.
Thus, the size of the inhabitants will influence
the size of their houses as well.
THE ORIGIN OF NUSANTARAS
PEOPLE
• Nusantara traditional houses may look similar. From the materials, big and
high roofs, and shape. Because, at first, they all came from the same place.
• In one island, or even in islands, they speak with different languages. This
constraint develops a very isolated culture. The neighbouring cultures
usually dont interact. The result, Nusantara houses were very unique to their
own, since no external influence involved.
• Most of Nusantara region situated on ring of fire, volcanic geographical
environment. Thus, most of them share similar earthquake solution (rise
house, made of bamboo/wood, and sit on a stone plate.
• Nusantara islands are horizantally shaped. So, most of us share the same
climate zone. Most of their houses incorporate prevention to only 2 seasons:
rainy seasons and dry season.
• Nusantara is an assemble islands. People on an island usually categorized
by 2: land people (hunter, farmer, breeder) and sea people (fisherman).

HOUSE BUILDING RITES
All ancient people are ANIMISTIC.
Two character of Nusantara’s animistic:
pantheistic
everything have soul. Stones, trees, even, a tiny drop
of water has it. Therefore, worship to certain things
are common.
Canibalism and decapitation are ways to take over the
soul to make one’s stronger.
eternal soul
After dead, the soul still continued to live around the
body or around a special person to them.
The deads are believed still present in daily live, and
they need to be taken care of: house, food offerings or
communicate with them are proofs that the deads still
important.
RELIGION AND BELIEFES
Living houses are meant to be
inhibited by particular person.
Thus, all the measurement and
room placement are calculated
based by the inhibitant’s
attribute (birthday, the zodiac,
etc)
MICROCOSMOS and
MACROCOSMOS
Like any other ancient culture, villages
usually led by a chief; companied by a priest.
The chief takes care matters such: water
distribution, war, or village policy.
The priest takes care matters such: leads
ceremony, decides harvest season, predicts
the climate, or cures the sick.

• Neighbouring villages went to war to
capitalize certain area/natural resource.

WOOD STRUCTURE JOINT
SYSTEM
WOOD STRUCTURE JOINT
SYSTEM
Walls are made from
bamboo, straw, or
woven dried palm
leaves.
Roofs are commonly
made from wood, or
woven leaves.
WOOD STRUCTURE JOINT
SYSTEM
The diversity of Nusantara’s architectural style has the same
origin, therefore, has similar beliefs about their houses.
Variations can occurred influenced by many environmental
aspects.
By studying the environmental aspects, we can predict these
variations.
The understanding of Nusantara traditional style is an important
part of self understanding, our true character, and potential
original design of our own in the future.
