Abstract:
The local nature and the environment of a
place are important factors in creating a work
of architecture that matches the functions
and image of its users. These factors are
related to their context and become a
separate issue, faced by all societies. Different
natures and environments will express
different works in accordance with their uses
and image, relevant to their respective
context. There is no work that can create
itself, every architectural work is created
according to the order and the image of
society.
The Indonesian society in general, specifically
the traditional society of madura is a society
living with a unique local nature and
environment. The dry and barren soil and
Limestone Mountains, with very little rainfall
is a reality that must be faced and resolved by
the people. They have been able to create a
work of architecture that is in accordance
with their society's local order and image in
the tanean lanjang, the traditional house of
the Madura people. Tanean lanjang is an
architectural work that has been tested for a
very long period of time and has become a
part of the society's life.
The wisdom to adapt and adopt the local
nature and environment is reflected in the
composition and zoning of space, in the
dimensions and shape of the building, and the
construction and use of materials on the
tanean lanjang. The Madura society has been
able to prove that the work of their ancestors
is a great heritage that is full of local wisdom
in accordance with the order and the image of
the local nature and environment that is
reflected not only on the physical aspects but
also on the non-physical aspects. The society's
cosmology is the non-physical aspect, a local
wisdom that believes in achieving harmony
with the local nature and the environment
This is reflected through the sample studied ir
this paper on the research of the physical anc
non physical aspects of the tanean lanjang
