Struktur bangunan rumah Joglo bagi masyarakat jawa sesuai dengan prinsip kehidupan masyarakatnya yaitu tegas dalam menjalani tanggung jawab dalam kehidupan. Di masa lalu, bangunan sebagai simbol status kelas masyarakat menegah ke atas ini diperuntukkan untuk tempat tinggal, kegiatan pementasan, ruang pertemuan, dan acara seremonial. Seiring dengan perkembangan zaman, terjadi perubahan fungsi, konstruksi bangunan serta kepemilikan, sehingga makna dan filosofi rumah Joglo berkurang. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan perhatian khusus dari pemerintah terkait pelestarian bangunan kuno dan bersejarah sesuai dengan UU No. 11 tahun 2010 tentang cagar budaya. Pelestarian ini dapat berupa konservasi bangunan bersejarah (preservasi, restorasi, rekonstruksi maupun revitalisasi). Konservasi seringkali disertai dengan adanya pengembangan kontruksi desain yang dapat berdampak pada perubahan makna/identitas maupun fungsi dari rumah Joglo. Rumah Joglo yang beralih fungsi ini penulis mengidentifikasi melalui studi kasus bangunan rumah Joglo yang berada pada kawasan cagar budaya Kota Gede di Yogyakarta dan Solo, Surakarta. Rumah Joglo di Kota Gede yang diamati penulis adalah Omah UGM]]>
