Abstract

Nusantara architecture ('original' Indonesian architecture) has differences and similarities compared to European Architecture. One of the reasons for this difference is the geographical and climatology conditions of Indonesia which is located on the equator line has 2 seasons, namely the rainy season and the dry season. While the European continent is located above the equator, divided into northern, western, eastern and central Europe and most European countries have 4 seasons in a year, namely spring, summer, autumn and winter. Geographical and climatology differences coupled with differences in living patterns and behavior as well as the culture of the people, cause differences in the mindset of Archipelago Architecture from European Architecture. The oral tradition left many of the noble cultural values of the Indonesian people behind the written traditions of European culture, coupled with the Dutch colonial rule that made the European mindset be practiced in the world of modern Indonesian architecture today. There is a lack of writing and research related to the Nusantara mindset which inspire this paper to examines the elements and design principles of Nisantara Architecture in an exploratory and speculative way compared to the European mindset. The objective of the research is to identify the applicability and inapplicability of design elements and principles of European-classic architecture in the Batak Karo architectural environment.

Abstract

Identity, symbolism, and representation constitute central themes in architectural and urban theory; nevertheless, their relational integration within the context of city architecture is frequently addressed in a fragmented and partial manner. This study seeks to develop a relational framework that connects identity, symbol, and representation through a focused analysis of Jakarta’s urban architecture during the Soekarno era. Five monuments are selected as case studies based on Toto’s (2014) classification, which characterizes monuments from the Old Order period as visual manifestations of Soekarno’s nationalist ideology. The research adopts a qualitative approach, employing a combination of literature review and visual analysis. The data are obtained from scholarly publications, visual documentation of the selected monuments, and historical records concerning their planning and construction. From a methodological perspective, the analysis investigates the architectural representations embodied in the monuments, interprets the symbolic meanings they convey, and identifies the identity narratives communicated through their forms and spatial expressions. The findings indicate that urban identity serves as the foundational basis for the production of symbols, which are subsequently materialized as representations of nationalism within Jakarta’s urban architectural landscape. This relational process is conceptualized as the Identity–Symbol–Representation (I–S–R) framework. The study contributes to the development of a conceptual framework for understanding the ways in which city identity is constructed, articulated, and communicated through architectural symbols and representational forms.
