<![CDATA[The traditional houses of Nusantara exhibit diverse architectural characteristics reflected in their spatial systems, structural systems, and underlying cultural values. One of the key elements reflecting this diversity is the placement of the main post. This study aims to formulate a typology of main post placement in the traditional houses of Nusantara. The research employs a typological method with a qualitative descriptive approach through the identification, classification, and interpretation of main post placement patterns across 20 traditional houses. These houses were selected based on their representation of the development of Nusantara Architecture, as described by Pangarsa (2006) in Merah Putih Arsitektur Nusantara. The results show that the placement of the main post forms diverse yet consistent typological patterns. These variations reveal relationships between the position of the main post and the visual, spatial, structural, symbolic, and cosmological aspects of each building. Ultimately, this study produces a typological classification of main post placement that enriches the understanding of Nusantara Architecture through the interplay between building systems, spatial organization, and cultural values.]]>
