Abstract

This paper investigates the raft houses of Palembang, known as "rumah rakit," which epitomize the affluent cultural amalgamation of Chinese and Malay influences. These floating dwellings, integral to the riverine lifestyle of Palembang, offer a unique lens through which to examine the historical and socio-cultural interactions between Chinese immigrants and the indigenous Malay community. The study employs comparative architectural analysis and historical documentation methods to uncover how these structures blend cultural practices, traditions, and environmental adaptations. The raft houses reflect the practical responses to living on water and symbolize the harmonious coexistence and mutual influence of Chinese and Malay cultures. By exploring these homes' evolution, design, and cultural significance, the research highlights their role as living heritage sites that preserve and perpetuate the dynamic process of cross-cultural exchange. The findings underscore the importance of these structures in understanding the broader narrative of cultural integration and identity formation in Palembang, with the leader as a key factor in the “Rumah Rakit” transformation, especially in the stage of collective action to modify the raft house. That community's collective action could be analyzed in another case of cross-cultural architecture.

Abstract

This study highlights the role of architectural settings as sacred spaces in the ritual practices of the Bayan community in Lombok, Indonesia. The research focuses on three key rituals: Menggawe Menyunat, which signifies human relationships through the coming-of-age ceremony for Bayan boys; Ngaji Makem Ngaturang Ula Kayang, representing human connection with nature as an expression of gratitude for agricultural bounty; and Maulid Adat, symbolizing human bonds with God during the commemoration of Prophet Muhammad's birth. Using a qualitative case study approach, the research integrates field observations, in-depth interviews, and literature analysis to reveal the function, hierarchy, and transformation of ritual spaces such as Masjid Kuno Bayan Beleq, traditional houses, and the sacred pathway Rurung Agung. The findings demonstrate that these architectural settings are not merely venues for rituals but embody the spiritual, cultural, and ecological symbolism of the Bayan community. This article contributes to the discourse on sacred architecture and the preservation of traditional culture amidst modern challenges.
