Abstract

The Medan Post Office is a heritage building that remains in operation today. It was constructed under the Dutch East Indies government between 1909 and 1911, designed by Dutch architect Ir. Simon Snuyf, and once symbolized the economic advancement of colonial-era Medan. Standing in the Kesawan heritage district, the building reflects Functional Modern architecture, known locally as Geometric Art Deco, and is closely tied to the growth of the tobacco plantation trade and the colonial transportation infrastructure that supported it. This study aims to trace the history of the building, identify its architectural style and characteristics, and examine it through a semiotic-code approach, namely the study of signs bound to the social codes through which meaning is collectively understood. Primary data were obtained through field surveys of the building and interviews with its management and surrounding community, complemented by secondary data from journals, print media, and reputable online sources. Findings show that the building's hermeneutic, semantic, symbolic, proairetic, and cultural codes, together with its aesthetic qualities of unity, balance, proportion, and heroic scale, continue to define its identity as a colonial-era landmark, now adaptively reused as the creative hub Pos Bloc Medan.

Abstract

Rumah Gadang Mande Rubiah is a historic vernacular building in Nagari Lunang, Pesisir Selatan Regency, West Sumatra, functioning as a museum that houses heirlooms of Bundo Kanduang, who is believed to have taken refuge in Lunang and changed her name to Mande Rubiah. Unlike most Minangkabau rumah gadang, this building does not display the curved gonjong roof resembling buffalo horns, a distinction attributed to the influence of Acehnese ethnic groups who settled along the southern coast. This study aims to explore the changes in form and function of Rumah Gadang Mande Rubiah as shaped by sociocultural dynamics, the presence of migrant ethnic groups, and the sociopolitical role of Mande Rubiah as heir to the Bundo Kanduang throne. A qualitative descriptive method was employed, combining field survey, literature review, and interviews with the users and custodians of the building. The findings show that the building has undergone three renovation phases, gradually shifting from a plain kampung-style roof toward a form that increasingly signals Minangkabau identity, while the number of original pillars continues to symbolize the ethnic groups (suku) of Nagari Lunang. The building has been formally registered as a Cultural Heritage Site (Registration No. CB.624) and now serves as both a museum and a venue for customary rituals, reflecting a layered process of cultural negotiation between local, Acehnese, and Minangkabau identities.
