Traditional Architecture Teo-Cosmology Hindu Society In Bali

Abstract

The architecture of the traditional buildings of Hindu people in Bali is a form of implementation of the combination of material and spiritual dimensions. The combination of these two dimensions form the energy and strength in the building that is created, so as to provide a sense of comfort and quiet in the person who occupy it. In the belief of the people of Bali, the process of building construction is not just to build, but done with the stages and planning, both from good days up to the means of ceremony. This is because the building is not only used as a residence, but also used as a place to carry out various ceremonial activities. Strong spiritual values can be felt in the traditional Balinese house architecture that is now widely seen by many tourists who visit Bali. this is because the energy radiated from the building is a representation of the spiritual value which is the power of the gods bersthana on the building that makes people see the calm and awe of the spirit value contained in it.
