A traditional house introduces to the observer the elegance of the building itself as a beautiful mass. If we observe more closely, the enormous structures, intricate carvings, and beautiful ornaments emphasize the existence of past people’s works and show the riches of local cultures. Traditional Houses were designed and built by the locals to meet their specific needs, accommodating the values, economies, and lifestyles of the culture among them. The traditional house is starting to be abandoned by the people. Many scholars found the research on the traditional architecture in Asia that a wealth of knowledge about the very unitary building process is influenced by belief, tradition, and culture. So, the architecture of traditional houses in the Southeast and East Asia is interesting to discuss further.
In line with the description above, the Department of Architecture from two public universities in Kalimantan and Sulawesi, Universitas Negeri Makassar and Universitas Tanjungpura, will conduct a jointly international webinar in several sessions to explore researchers perspective on the structure of traditional houses in Southeast-Eastern Asia.
International Affairs Office Universitas Tanjungpura facilitated the invitation of several international speakers that will present the structural perspective of the traditional architecture to the current needs of the house’s design by challenging climate and environment. International scholars from various universities in Asia and Europe have confirmed their presence.
The topic of the international webinar is the Structural perspective of researchers to the traditional architecture in Asia: A study on Southeast – Eastern Asia houses. The webinar series is jointly organized by the Department of Architecture Universitas Negeri Makassar and Universitas Tanjungpura.
