CULTURAL AND TRADITIONAL VALUE IN THE INTERIOR OF A.A.MARAMIS CULTURAL HERITAGE BUILDING RESTORATION IN JAKARTA-INDONESIA

Abstract

Application of cultural and traditional values for the interior design of A.A. Maramis Jakarta-Indonesian cultural heritage buildings is the main choice. The reason is that the traditional theme of tradition has become a nation’s wealth that needs to be preserved and can be a reference in choosing a space theme. In addition, this theme is a symbol of identity as well as an aesthetic element. This article shows the use of motifs found in traditional Indonesian fabrics in interior processing. The conclusion of this research is that an interior design work that carries a traditional theme with the use of motifs from traditional Indonesian fabrics cannot only be interpreted individually. The actualization and expression of traditional themes applied to the interior not only displays the concept of tourism but as an aesthetic medium and symbol according to the function of space. Likewise in the interior design process, a designer must have the ability to tolerate the design process and know a little more about traditions and culture. With these conditions, it can also be used as a basis for designing interiors in a cultural context by presenting several examples taken from the history of the building. The qualitative research methodology used here involves a phenomenological approach where the author as an interior design practitioner handles several interior design clients. The purpose of this research is to provide insight into the tolerance between interior design in the context of tradition and culture in order to achieve user comfort, and is useful for parties related to this type of research.
