Abstract

This article discusses the city government's policy in addressing settlement problems in colonial-era Medan. This research uses the historical method, by conducting a series of source searches from archives, contemporaneous newspapers, reports, and literature studies. The findings of this research are first, the city government created a public housing policy (volkhuisvesting) that started in 1918. This policy aimed to fulfill the housing needs of the urban poor. However, in practice the number built was insufficient and the rent set was not affordable by the community. Secondly, the city government evicted hundreds of houses that were considered dilapidated in the villages in Medan. The two policies implemented by the government simultaneously aimed to support each other as a political colonial policy in controlling urban and village spaces in Medan.

Abstract

This research focuses on the history and architecture of Bagas Godang in Huta Godang Village, Ulu Pungkut Sub-district, Mandailing Natal Regency, and the meaning of its ornaments. The purpose of this research is to understand the historical background and architectural details of Bagas Godang and the meaning of the various ornaments contained in it. The method used is descriptive qualitative, with data collection through direct observation, interviews, and analysis of documents, books, photos, and videos. The results showed that the current Bagas Godang is the second building built by King Junjungan Lubis and the people of Huta Godang, after the previous building burned down without knowing when exactly the event occurred. Bagas Godang is characterized by Mandailing architecture with wooden construction, rectangular in shape, supported by an odd number of large timbers, and consists of a vestibule, living room, sleeping room, and kitchen. The roof is in the form of a dolok-arched tarup, with a wide door that makes a loud sound when opened. There are 26 types of ornaments that reflect traditional symbols and create an official agreement on the decoration of Mandailing traditional houses. This research provides an in-depth insight into Mandailing's cultural heritage and traditional architecture.

Abstract

This research aims to describe the architectural dynamics inherited by the Bedagai Kingdom through cultural acculturation, focusing on the Jamik Ismailiyah Mosque. The mosque was founded in 1880 by Prince Ismailiyah and underwent dynamic changes in form while still maintaining its historical existence. This research uses the historical method which includes heuristics, verification, interpretation, and historiography to explore the problem in depth. Observations were made using architectural theory and diachronic theory to provide a complete picture of the architectural dynamics of the Jamik Ismailiyah Mosque in Tanjung Beringin District, Serdang Bedagai. The results showed that since the establishment of the mosque in 1880 until 1982, there were various architectural acculturations that mostly still dominated traditional Malay architectural patterns. This research reveals the dynamics and development of the mosque's architectural concept based on history and acculturation findings, including changes in the layout and additions to the mosque building, providing a complete picture of the dynamic development during the period 1937-1982.
