Bermed houses are one of the traditional earth-sheltered house types. In this study, the bermed houses of Kamil village (Osmancık-Çorum), which are in danger of extinction, were examined. The study has been prepared largely based on field research and relevant literature. Within the scope of field studies, the bermed houses were examined, their measurements were taken using traditional methods, and visual documentation was made with photographs and videos. Kamil village bermed houses were built by local craftsmen or homeowners with stone, soil, and wood materials collected from the nearby area. Bermed houses were generally built on gently sloping slopes and partially buried in the ground. These houses are single-room, rectangular in plane, with gable roofs, and covered with soil and grass. These houses are an ecological structure type that emerged under the control of local geographical features and were widely used in the past. The earthquakes that hit the region repeatedly in the 1940s caused a significant portion of them to collapse and the rest to be abandoned. Today, all but one of the few standing examples were damaged. Restoring and re-functioning these houses is important for the preservation of local cultural heritage

This study aims to clarify the characteristics of settlement composition and house layout in Mamasa Toraja and Tana Toraja, Indonesia, focusing on spatial differences. The study reviewed relevant literature, selected settlements for the survey, and prepared settlement layout maps based on satellite imagery. Field surveys were conducted in 2022 to revise the settlement layout maps, record house plans, and interview local residents. The study found that despite having the same cultural roots, Tana Toraja and Mamasa Toraja have different settlement configurations and house layouts. The Tana Toraja settlements have a straight composition with warehouses on the north side and houses on the south side, flanked by a street-like plaza. In contrast, the composition of Mamasa Toraja settlements in the mountainous area is curvilinear, following the natural topography. Although social restrictions based on the caste system have long since been abolished, the layout of houses in the Toraja settlement, especially in Mamasa, still shows a social structure from when the caste system existed. This study provides insights into the unique spatial forms and cultural practices of the traditional villages in Mamasa Toraja and Tana Toraja, highlighting the importance of preserving their cultural heritage.

Wood carving is a traditional visual art that serves as architectural decoration in various cultures worldwide. However, issues involve the three-dimensional wood carvings of buah buton on traditional houses in Luak Tanah Mengandung, believed to symbolize one's status in Adat Perpatih. This article aims to analyze the relationship between buah buton and social status within the Adat Perpatih society in this region. To achieve this, the article employs qualitative research methodology, highlighting two approaches: field studies targeting four traditional houses in Luak Tanah Mengandung, Negeri Sembilan, and interviews involving six informants from diverse backgrounds. The findings indicate that buah buton can only be found on houses inhabited by individuals of high status. Furthermore, the number and positioning of buah buton vary among these houses. The application of buah buton in each house depends on specific spaces and is closely linked to Adat Perpatih. This is reinforced by the positioning of these elements, whether inside or outside the house, being associated with influential owners in the tradition. In conclusion, buah buton is not merely a house ornament; it symbolizes the owner's status within Adat Perpatih. The study's implications also highlight the significance of symbolism in influencing the social structure and community of this tradition. Therefore, the article suggests further research to expand the scope of comparing and contrasting buah buton within this customary society. This endeavor not only enriches the understanding of customs and culture but also aids in the preservation and conservation processes in the face of modernity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

For the past two centuries, Nias, an island located in the Indian Ocean on the west coast of Sumatra, has been regularly rocked by earthquakes. It was recorded that devastating earthquakes occurred in 1843, 1861, and finally in 2004 and 2005. Facing this situation, the people of Nias Island have taken the initiative to respond to earthquake disasters in the form of cultural heritage to avoid and save themselves from various possible risks of earthquakes by building traditional earthquake resilience houses. This article aims to explain the existence of these traditional earthquake-resilience houses in the face of earthquake natural disasters. The method used is a combination of historical and architectural by utilizing various kinds of past data from earthquake resilience houses. The results of the research show that this earthquake-resilience house has been built for centuries and has a unique architectural model and resilience so it does not collapse easily even when shaken by a strong earthquake. Traditional houses are made of strong wood and built based on the local wisdom of the local community. Throughout its history, this house has been able to save many people living in these houses from earthquakes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Acoustic comfort is one of the essential needs for people to live in calm and comfort in dwellings. Because of technological and industrial development, noise pollution became one of the big dangers that impacts human psychologically and physiologically. The historical neighborhoods in Sulaimani City are affected by this technological advancement, the demolishing of traditional houses and changed to commercial has increased the environmental noise. Therefore, this research aims to evaluate residents’ satisfaction in traditional houses in term of acoustic conditions, also aims to investigate if the design characteristics of traditional houses have role in providing acoustic comfort, and to promote traditional designs in today’s architecture. The absence of a practical study evaluating acoustic conditions in traditional houses and their impact on inhabitants’ satisfaction in Sulaimani city formed the main problem of the research. The results from the questionnaire and the in situ measurements have shown that, although most of these old houses were demolished and changed to commercial areas, the acoustic environment inside most houses is comfortable and most inhabitants are satisfied with the acoustic conditions. The traditional design turned the houses to be a barrier against transmitting noise whether from outside to inside or vice versa.

In Indonesia, there is a rich diversity of cultures, one of which is traditional houses. Traditional houses essentially have the potential to represent the way of life, culture, and local economy. Traditional houses in Indonesia, particularly in the Malaka region, are important cultural symbols that can be regarded as cultural icons in Malaka and Indonesia. They provide a historical perspective, heritage, and reflect the progress of society in a civilization. The Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) method is used in this research. In this study, the CNN algorithm is applied to classify traditional house objects. These traditional house objects are divided into two categories: Kolibein Traditional House and Laleik Traditional House. The objective of this research is to classify traditional houses in Malaka, namely Kolibein Traditional House and Laleik Traditional House, and also to determine the accuracy level of CNN classification results. The previously created model is tested using test data to assess its accuracy. The testing is conducted on 20 data points, with 10 data points in each respective class. The testing results show that the classification of Kolibein and Laleik traditional houses is error- free or very accurate. Based on the model developed for classifying Kolibein and Laleik traditional houses using the Convolutional Neural Network method, it is evident that this method is capable of producing accurate results. The obtained results indicate that the accuracy, based on the classification report using images of Kolibein and Laleik traditional houses, reaches 100%. Therefore, it can be concluded that the constructed CNN model has a high level of accuracy.

This paper aims to analyze the regulations related to protecting the architecture of the traditional house in Indonesia and the challenges in related regulations. To achieve these goals, the research uses a normative legal writing method with descriptive-analytical specifications. Firstly, the findings reveal that traditional houses are part of traditional cultural expressions (TCE). Indonesia protects architectural works and TCE in the same intellectual property regime, namely copyright. Therefore, this paper examines the protection of traditional house architecture from the perspective of Copyright law, the Law on the Advancement of Culture, and the TCE Bill. The abovementioned regulations state that the architecture is a protected object unless the TCE Bill is. Second, there are some challenges, such as 1) the priority of the TCE Bill after the change of president; 2) song and music get more benefit from copyright protection rather than the other objects in the copyright regime and no implementing regulation on architecture; and 3) the TCE data collection/inventory is still not optimal yet. Therefore, Indonesia needs to think more seriously about adequate and applicable legal protection for traditional house architecture and other TCEs. The central government should encourage regional governments and related parties to continue data collection and registration of various TCEs in each region to increase the number of registered TCEs. The central government should provide a target number of registered TCEs for the local government. If the target is met, the central government will give a reward so that the local government and related parties will be more enthusiastic about collecting data and registering the TCE with DJKI.

The incorporation of various openings that permit daylight into interior spaces significantly influences thermal comfort. In the central region of Iran, Orosi windows are a prevalent architectural feature in courtyard buildings. These latticed door-windows are embellished with colorful glass pieces arranged in geometric patterns. This study aims to evaluate the impact of glass color in Orosi windows on their thermal and daylight performance. The primary objective is to determine the thermal comfort and daylight performance of a typical Qajarian Orosi with different glass colors (colorful, red, blue, yellow, green, colorless) and to identify the optimal glass color for Orosi windows. The findings reveal that the glass color of Orosi windows not only affects thermal comfort but also has a significant impact on daylight performance. Yellow glass offers the most favorable thermal conditions, irrespective of the season. In terms of daylight performance, all glass colors perform adequately; however, the Orosi with yellow glass achieves the highest values for spatial Daylight Autonomy (sDA) and Annual Sunlight Exposure (ASE). The next preferred options, in descending order, are colorless, green, and blue glass. Considering both daylight and thermal performance, it is recommended to use Orosi windows with yellow glass due to the 22% improvement in annual thermal comfort and satisfactory daylight performance.

The present article is based upon information gathered in the Sălaj villages, analyzed from an anthropological point of view. In the old traditional homes, wall carpets (a broadloom carpet on the wall) were fitted instead of paintings, greetings, or words of wisdom. This naïve combination of words and images meant to call to action or to praise speaks of the history of an era, of the evolution of textile techniques and industry, about the unspoken history of women and their place, about sawing and embroidering skills but also about the traditional mentality or the atmosphere in those households – about family, weds, love, cleanliness, hygiene, cooking skills or Christian holydays. We see here a cultural phenomenon that transcends ethnography or the study of traditional fabrics and opens horizons of study in the field of cultural and historical anthropology, sociology, private life history and even interior design.

Traditional houses and villages are a cultural asset of the West Sulawesi region and should be passed down to future generations to preserve the community’s identity. The Orobua settlement, located in Mamasa Regency, West Sulawesi Province, is a settlement that had maintained its traditional landscape until the 1990s. However, since the mid-2000s, most traditional houses have either been modified or replaced with modern ones. This paper examines the cultural heritage of the Orobua settlement and suggests strategies to preserve its traditional landscape. Source data were obtained through a literature review, field survey, and interviews with residents.

Badui (Bedouin) tribe is one of the ethnic groups that continues to exist and thrive today, including the traditional house-building method. Accordingly, the Badui traditional house is transformed into a batik motif for the children's casual dress to maintain continuity. This creation seeks to design and implement the traditional Badui house batik motif in casual clothing for 10-year-old girls. Exploration, design, and embodiment were the means of creating works. The process of creating works startedwithexploring motifs, clothing, material, and technique, followed by motifs and children's casual clothing designs. This work utilizedthe written batik technique;colet-tutup-celupcoloring;Remasol, Naptol, and Indigosol dyes; Japanese cotton and Primissima; and bright colors as embodiment techniques. Implementing batik motifs (ImahSawarna,ImahNgahiji,ImahSalonjor,ImahKahuripan) to children's casual clothing resulted in 4 pieces of clothing, namely: Inleum, Makaul, Galis, and Bageur.

This paper proposes the development of a markerless augmented reality (AR) application for Indonesian traditional house education. The application aims to provide an immersive and interactive way of visualizing traditional houses from various regions of Indonesia, with the potential to raise public awareness about the importance of preserving traditional culture. The prototyping method was employed as the most appropriate approach to software development, and the ARFoundation platform was used to integrate plane detection into the AR application. The results showed that 80% of tested devices were compatible with ARCore, and the AR plane detection could detect up to 250cm from the device position. In addition, a feedback survey conducted on 17 testers showed that the application design and mechanism brought a good experience to users, with 53% stating that the app is easy to use. This research project contributes to the development of technology-based solutions to promote Indonesian culture and preserve traditional houses, especially for younger generations who may be less familiar with traditional culture.

Indonesia is one of the archipelago countries located in Asia and it has diverse cultures. In modern society, Indonesian traditional houses have become rare and need to be preserved. This research is conducted to build a digital collection and to develop an image-based automatic recognition system for Indonesian traditional houses. In this paper, the traditional house images are collected in several ways: on-site image captures, receiving images from volunteers, and collecting public images from Google. The dataset is limited to the collection of building shape images, excluding the interior design. The authors implement Convolutional Neural Networks (ConvNets) to build a model for an automatic recognition system. The experiments run some deep network models: VGG, DenseNet, Inception, Xception, MobileNetV2, NasNetMobile, and EfficientNet. The experiments involve 1526 images of 16 classes. EfficientNet-Lite0 outperforms other models and produces the average F1-score and accuracy of 90.1% and 91.8%, respectively. ConvNets also outperform conventional classifiers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Modern building materials using reinforced concrete are considered the most popular in the production of housing in Algeria, specifically in desert areas such as the city of Ouargla, which is characterized by its hot and arid climate. These dwellings must be more adaptable to this difficult climate. An example is the Ouargla Ksar, which contains traditional dwellings that have proven their effectiveness in terms of the heat problem, as has been revealed in several previously conducted studies, but these dwellings have decreased in demand as they are not suitable for contemporary urban life. Therefore, the aim of this study is to improve the performance of the most recognized house typologies in the city of Ouargla in terms of thermal comfort and energy consumption by using passive strategies. In this regard, we used a research methodology based on field measurements and model simulations wherein we adopted TRNSYS 17 to determine the most often encountered problems. The simulated model was validated by statistical correlation; afterward, a simulation of a full year was run, during which many aspects of construction were studied and compared, such as insulation, the mass of the roof and walls, dimensions and types of windows, orientation, and solar shading. The results show that the studied modern house can be considered inappropriate for a desert climate, and the use of solar shading combined with insulated walls and roof allows for an increase of 35% in annual thermal comfort hours (−0.5 ≤ PMV ≤0.5) and for a 22.73% reduction in the energy consumption. We then compared the simulated scenarios with a traditional house characterized by a bioclimatic architectural design that we used as a reference building. The obtained results may be useful in guiding both refurbishment interventions on existing buildings and the design of new ones. Although the simulated interventions have been widely studied in the literature, it is very important to determine their impact on the perception of the indoor environment and on the energy consumption in this specific geographic area.

The Çubuk district of Ankara contains several examples of traditional 17th and 18th centuries Turkish houses. While these examples of traditional civil architecture were constructed according to the geographical and topographic characteristics of the region, climate, features of the building material used, needs of the users, as well as the economic, social, and cultural situation, they also share common features. These three-storey buildings, which usually have basic facades, are designed for the requirements of rural life with a more inward-looking inner and middle anterooms that occupy two-stories or feature cihannüma (dormers). Most of the traditional architectural examples in Çubuk district that were examined between 2010-2011 only remain due to having been preserved through reconstruction. Most examples of traditional architecture of this type largely disappeared during the last century, and very few unregistered examples survive. This study aims to contribute to conservation efforts by conducting an evaluation, in terms of contemporary conservation principles, of the architectural features and conservation status of a group of unregistered traditional houses and registered civil architecture examples in the district of Çubuk. During the last 10 years, the district has become accepted as containing important examples of rural Ankara architecture.

Housing production is an action that evolves and develops throughout the historical process. The development process of the houses, which are influenced by many human data, can be examined in many ways, mostly through traditional houses. Traditional houses are architectural values that are densely found in Anatolia. These play a role in understanding the building production and use of the period in which they were built. Elazığ houses, which are considered in this context, have partially survived to the present day as a heritage reflecting the original qualities of Anatolian architecture. It has been observed that there are few studies in the literature on these structures, which are produced with original materials and constructions and carry the traces of the socio-cultural conditions of the period in which they were built. Considering that many traditional houses in the region have been lost; it is aimed to reveal the current status of the traditional houses in Kazım Efendi Street in the city center of Elazığ, to identify their problems and to contribute to their elimination. The relevant literature was examined and onsite observations were made. As a result, attention was drawn to the necessity of preserving Elazığ houses as architectural heritage.

Communities in nations all over the world must work to address the problem of energy consumption, which has emerged in modern times. Given that domestic consumers account for roughly 49% of the total electricity used annually by all sectors, buildings can be seen as a key player in this conundrum. The architecture field can therefore play a vital role in saving energy, not only through building design but also through the materials used. To minimize architectural programmes' negative impact on the environment, sustainable design that saves energy is being employed today in traditional Saudi Arabian buildings. This study examined whether current housing designs can effectively integrate four key passive energy-saving strategies: outdoor green area, thermal mass wall, window-to-wall ratio and shading device. This study analysed two types of traditional houses from two different cities in Saudi Arabia's Najd region, Riyadh and Hail, examining the four passive strategies. Using traditional house designs, this paper created four simulation models for each house, and compared the simulation results with the base case model to determine how well these strategies could affect the energy consumption for residential buildings in Saudi Arabia (KSA). The results indicate that the selected strategies can play an important role in saving energy in residential buildings in the KSA. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Malays are one of several local ethnicities who inhabit the island of Kalimantan. Malay architecture can be linked to elements of customs, culture, and tradition that develop within the growth of ethnicity toward community development. Furthermore, many reports found that the characteristics of the environment and the settlements' location make a difference in the Malay house's traditional architecture on the island of Kalimantan. The study identifies some differentiation by the effects of cultural factors in each area of traditional architecture, affecting the architectural elements. The influences to Malay architecture are found differences by each region's customs, culture, and tradition. The Malays' customs, culture, and tradition greatly influence Malays houses' architecture because the culture is robust. This influence has made the customs, culture, and tradition become an obligation embedded in every Malay society. The embedded influences to the traditional Malay houses are found in the orientation of the openings, spatial arrangement, structure, and construction. The factor of being a Malay makes people attaching a unique meaning to the architecture of a traditional Malay house. The meanings follow the belief in environmental conditions and simplicity in Islamic teachings in traditional houses.

Kent merkezlerindeki tarihi dokularda günümüzde rant marjları çok yükselmiş, tarihi yapılara turizm ve ticaret işlevleri verme eğilimi artmıştır. Yeniden işlevlendirme adı verilen bu uygulama aslında terk edilmiş ya da özgün işlevini devam ettirmesi mümkün olmayan yapıları, yeni bir işlevle kullanımını sağlayarak gelecek kuşaklara aktarmak için geliştirilmiş bir koruma yöntemidir. Ancak bu yöntem günümüzde sanki bir tasarım modeli gibi kullanılarak tarihi yapıların özgün değerlerinden çok fazla kayıplara neden olmaktadır. Koruma yasasındaki esneklik, sayısal nicelik ve şahıs mülkiyetlerinde olmaları gibi sebeplerle yeniden işlevlendirilerek özgünlük değerlerinden en çok kayıplar veren yapılar geleneksel konutlardır. Tarihi yapılar ve bu yapıların oluşturduğu tarihi çevre, bölgeye özgü fiziksel ve kültürel özellikler sonucu oluşmuş geleneksel mimari örneklerdir. Özellikle geleneksel konutlar bulunduğu bölgedeki günlük yaşam ve kültürü hakkında önemli veriler sunan tarihi belgelerdir. Bu nedenle diğer tarihi yapılar gibi geleneksel konut yapılarının da özgünlüklerinin korunması ve gelecek kuşaklara aktarılması önem arz etmektedir. Yeniden işlevlendirme ile özgün değerlerini yitiren tarihi çevrelerden birisi de Antalya'nın önemli turizm merkezlerinden birisi olan Alanya’dır. Bu nedenle bu çalışmada yeniden işlevlendirme ile restorasyonu yapılan geleneksel Alanya konutları çalışma alanı olarak seçilmiş, bu bölgedeki uygulamaların olumlu ve olumsuz yönleri ortaya konularak tartışılmıştır.

Green and energy-saving reforms, which use protection as a precondition, can, not only reduce a building’s energy use but also improve its level of comfort. Such reforms can also adapt to the new demands of modern society while extending the life of traditional architecture. Therefore, this research chose a classical, traditional house in Hangzhou Zhejiang, China, as a transformation object – attempting to implement low-cost, energy-saving technology. The building’s energy consumption and level of comfort before and after the transformation have been simulated and measured to compare the effects of the transformation. The authors hope this research will provide insights into green and energy-saving reform technology and aid the sustainable development of traditional houses.

In discussions on energy consumption in buildings, it is frequently argued that the climate-oriented approaches of traditional architecture are a suitable model. Climate-oriented solutions in traditional buildings are rooted in the lessons from several generations of experience, using local material, technology and labour, without sacrificing comfort. They are also responsive to their natural environment and energy-efficient. This study identifies climate-responsive design approaches in the traditional Tabriz houses, located in the cold-arid climatic zone. For this purpose, 10 traditional houses identified in various studies were examined and compared. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study highlights the importance of reviving the traditional houses architecture in Irbid city, Jordan. Every region has its architectural character, which is often influenced by the local context (the natural and cultural environments), particularly in Irbid city, which contains many traditional houses constructed hundreds of years ago. Between 1930 and 1960, most of these houses had been demolished and replaced with new constructions. The objective of this study was, thus, to propose plans and actions for reviving the traditional house as a cultural heritage. This paper presents a review of relevant literature, emphasizing the preservation concept and the heritage types; then, it briefs the history of Irbid city and highlights its population growth and urban composition. A field survey was conducted in the city. Based on it, four houses were selected to represent the different types of heritage houses, with emphasis on their design, building components, the technology used in their construction, the building materials, handling of the openings (arches), the ornaments of the buildings, and the urban form and its relationship with sustainability. The discussion in this paper summarizes the lessons learned from applying low technology in house construction and using natural building materials that can be recycled to achieve the sustainability of architecture. In addition, the discussion points out the challenges faced in the preservation of heritage. Afterward, the researchers suggest plans and actions that contribute to preserving this city's identity and heritage and conserving its heritage sites for future generations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Indonesian people are very rich in tradition and culture. One of the traditions and culture that still exists today is a traditional house.

Taraklı, Türkiye'de Kocaeli sınırına yakın bir Sakarya ilçesidir. Modern pastoral zihniyet ve mimari koruma ilkeleri ile öne çıkan bir yerdir. Halen geleneksel mimarisi korunmuş, restore edilmiş, restorasyona hazır tipik bir Anadolu kasabası özelliğini göstermektedir. Makalenin amacı, sakin şehir sertifikasına sahip olunması için aranan standartlar, özellikle kentsel ve mimari kriterlere odaklanarak değerlendirilecektir. Yöntem olarak; Cittaslow hareket kriterlerinden geleneksel yapıların korunması kriterleri incelendi. Taraklı’nın mevcut üç geleneksel mahallesi, 18 geleneksel konutu, 8 sivil mimari örneklerinin harita ve mimari dokümanları (ölçekli rölöve ve restitüsyon projeleri, fotoğrafları, illüstrasyonları) elde edilerek görsel mimari analizler yapıldı. Taraklı’da geleneksel dokuya dair korunmuş/değerlere seçilen “geleneksel yapıların korunması” Cittaslow kriterlerine göre belirli örnek binalar üzerinden tarihi binaların korunması değerlendirilmiştir Cittaslow standartlarından mimari mirasın Taraklı’nın sahip olduğu en güçlü unsur olduğunu söylenebilir. Mimari mirasın tümünü, doğal çevreyi, yüzyıllar içinde birikmiş kültürü, ananeyi, yaşam biçimini ve yerleşmenin ruhunu kavrayabilmek; bütüncül bir korumayı ve yaşam anlayışını Taraklı’da başarılmıştır.

İnsanın barınma arayışı ev ile neticelenmiştir. Ev mimarisi doğal imkânlar kadar toplumun yaşam biçiminden de izler taşır. Bununla beraber evin kendisi de insanı bir hayat tarzına zorlar. Modernite ile birlikte birçok alanda değişim yaşanmıştır. Değişimin görüldüğü alanlardan biri de kuşkusuz ev mimarisidir. Bugünün ev mimarisi geleneksel evlerden farklı olarak geniş ailenin ikametinden ziyade çekirdek ailenin yerleşmesini ve mahremiyetten öte bireyselleşmeyi dikkate almaktadır. Ayrıca modern ev mimarisinde dinî referanslar bir tarafa bırakılarak modern değerler ve tüketim kültürü etkili olmaktadır. Böylelikle sosyal bir varlık olan insanın ontolojisiyle çelişkili bir durum ortaya çıkmakta, insan yalnızlaşıp, mutsuzlaşmaktadır. Öte yandan bireyselleşme merkezli bir mimari aile içerisinde sosyal değerlerin ve dinî inancın yaşanıp aktarılmasında bir takım engellere neden olabilmektedir. Oysa toplumsal değerlerin ve dinî inancın kökleşmesi bakımından aile içi iletişimin ve paylaşımın yoğunluğu önemlidir. Modern mimarinin doğurduğu olumsuz bazı sonuçları aşmada geleneksel Türk evi bir imkân olarak belirmektedir.
