Abstract

As a region with a strong influence on the Dutch during the colonial period, Minahasa was often referred to as “the 12th Province of the Netherlands”. In fact, the great influence of the Dutch has entrenched not only in the aspect of religion and language but also in the art of building and architecture. Intact evidences of residential buildings constructed during the Dutch colonial period in Minahasa were located both in urban and in rural areas, particularly in the hinterland of Minahasa. The buildings not only reflect Dutch or European architecture but represent a fusion with the local architecture. The fusion between local and foreign architecture (European and Chinese) is renowned as Indies architecture. This study used historical archaeology, which combines archaeological data (artifacts, ecofacts, and features) and historical data (archives, maps, photos, and historical documents). The study was aimed at finding out the local wisdom adopted by the Europeans (Dutch) in the Indies architecture in Minahasa. The results showed a strong influence of Minahasan local wisdom in the Indies architecture in Minahasa. The nuance of local wisdom is not only reflected in the building materials but also in the philosophical meaning of architectural design.
