Abstract

Ecological architecture is an architectural concept that emphasizes harmony between the artificial environment and the surrounding natural conditions. The application of this concept is needed now, with a decrease in environmental quality, which is characterized by a lot of environmental damage caused by the construction of buildings and other facilities. This phenomenon must be addressed jointly by architects, government, and society. Traditional Houses are one of the architectural works which are referred to as one of the ecological architectural works. So it is necessary to examine the extent of the application of ecological architecture to traditional house buildings, especially Java so that it is expected to get lessons learned from traditional Javanese home designs that can be applied in today’s building design. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct a study that evaluates the concept of ecological architecture in traditional Javanese home design. This research is an exploratory study conducted with descriptive methods related to the design of Javanese Traditional Houses related to the application of ecological architectural concepts in the design of Javanese Traditional Houses. This study took a case study of 3 (three) varieties of Javanese Traditional Houses in Central Java. With this article, it is expected to provide an overview of the application of the concept of ecological architecture in Javanese Traditional Houses design and to know what aspects of the ecological architecture have been applied to the design of Javanese Traditional Houses. From this study it can be concluded that traditional houses apply the concept of ecological architecture in several aspects. This is influenced by site conditions, location, and climate conditions.
