Abstract

According to the manuscript of Bustanussalatin by Nuruddin Ar Raniry, in 1637 Sultan Iskandar Thani built a private royal garden called Taman Ghairah (Ghairah Garden). The seventeenth-century garden of Aceh still holds some questions because most of its objects are no longer found in Banda Aceh. Three buildings such as: Gunongan, Kandang and Pintô Khôp which are close to the former Sultan’s palace, are believed to be the remains of the garden. This present study is architectural research that incorporates direct observation and semiotic study on the garden simulation. The simulation is based on the Bustanussalatin manuscript. It is found that the existence of several symbols carry out meanings which relate to the influences of Islamic and pre-Islamic cultures in the past. Meru, tree of life, lotus, and banjaran sari may have derived from pre-Islamic culture, while the river, mosque and floral symbols indicate the presence of Islamic influence. This article underlines that Taman Ghairah has Islamic and Pre-Islamic cultural influences, reflecting the convergence of diverse backgrounds in Acehnese culture

Abstract

The growth of congregation activities in Aceh's old mosques has contributed to the area expansion of the old mosques. This article examines three case studies of old mosques in Aceh that represent three scenarios of spatial expansion, including:  mihrab extension integrated into the old mosque, side expansion attached to the old building, and expansion by adding a new mosque building. Three old mosques under study were Teungku Di Anjong Mosque in Banda Aceh, the Asal Penampaan Mosque in Gayo Lues, and the Gunong Kleng Mosque in West Aceh. This paper aims to analyze the mosque's spatial connection from three architectural aspects:  (1) Pattern of Additional Area, (2) Functionality and Other Features, (3) The Architectural Forms and Materiality of the old and new mosques. A qualitative study was employed through the analysis of architectural and visual images of the three mosques. The study found that adding new spaces to the three mosques significantly divides old and new mosques. The main function of the mosque as a place of worship intertwines with its function as a center of cultural activities as found in the old and new spaces. Furthermore, the old mosque architecture influenced modern mosques, although not completely. The old form harmonized with new materials to reconcile with contemporary construction methods.

Abstract

Samosir is an island located in the middle of Lake Toba, North Sumatra Province. The tribe that inhabits this island is the Toba Batak tribe. One of its cultures is the traditional house and is a cultural wealth that should be preserved. Simanindo Village is one of the villages that still maintains the Toba Batak Traditional House. However, as time goes by and the location is far away, many young people do not know and understand about the Toba Batak traditional house. The preservation of Toba Batak culture can be threatened if the younger generation lacks knowledge about traditional houses. The purpose of this design is to create an infographic book that contains information about the Toba Batak Traditional House and its decorations that can collaborate with the local Tourism Office and Museum. This design uses the design thinking method and data analysis using SWOT. The final result of this design is an infographic book and supporting works in the form of tote bags and key chains.
