Abstract

This study examines the sustainability of the Mbaru Niang house in Wae Rebo Village, Indonesia, through a qualitative descriptive method. The analysis focuses on the spatial layout as well as supporting elements such as materials, climate responsiveness, and communal functions, using visual interpretation and thematic mapping based on environmental, social, and well-being dimensions. The findings reveal how the use of local materials, passive ventilation, communal spatial organization, and flexible design strategies reflect an integrated approach to sustainability. Mbaru Niang demonstrates how traditional architecture, grounded in ecological adaptation and cultural continuity, can inform contemporary sustainable design. While the study is limited by its reliance on secondary data and scope, it contributes to architectural discourse by emphasizing the value of traditional knowledge in creating resilient and context-sensitive built environments.

Abstract

This study explores the transformation of function, form, and materials in the adaptation of the traditional Tongkonan house into the Toraja Church in Surabaya. The Tongkonan, a culturally significant dwelling for the Toraja's people, undergoes various changes when adapted to an urban context. Using a qualitative descriptive method and comparative analysis, this research examines differences between original Tongkonan houses and their architectural reinterpretation in the Surabaya church. The findings reveal that the function has shifted from residential to religious use, materials have changed from wood, bamboo, and thatch to concrete, steel, and glass, while the iconic curved roof form has been largely retained. These changes reflect a balance between preserving cultural identity and meeting modern building requirements. The study highlights how vernacular architecture can evolve through adaptation, offering a sustainable approach that respects tradition while responding to contemporary needs in urban environments.
