Joint System of Traditional Houses in Littoral, Highland, and Lowland Region of West Java

Abstract

Traditional building in West Java has a unique characteristic that can be observed in its joint system. These joint system is divided into lower system, middle system, and upper system. Moreover, the variety of topographies in West Java should represent different characteristics between these buildings: houses in littoral region has a distinction to be compared to houses in lowland region and highland region.This research will emphasizes the characteristic of buildings located in those regions through observation and measurement of traditional houses in littoral, higland, and lowland of West Java. Survey has been conducted in Kampong Panjalin of Kabupaten Majalengka (represents littoral region), Kampong Cikondang of Kabupaten Bandung (represents highland region), and Kampong Mahmud of Kabupaten Bandung (represents lowland region). The observation is focused on three building aspects: form and configuration, material and dimension, and detail of joint system.
