Abstract

Details have a role to create a continuity in architecture design. It is easy to apply in the design process while also can explore other minor things in the architecture design. There are two identification categories of the architectural details, whether the details become the main part of the building or as the additional. Details are the integral part of architecture which the items show the physical information of the building including the materials, composition and dimension; special effects; and some specific information regarding the whole concept of the building’s structure and overall construction. In addition, details can also explain the non-physical part from the builder’s mindset and attitude towards their building. The architecture of Javanese house has three important things, namely the relation of the Wastu or the soul, Kalang or the resource and Wewangunan or the form, all of which are the constituent parts of totality in architecture. Detailed elements on the architecture of the Javanese house have many elements of culture that are revealed before the interacting process occurs. Details of architectural element in Javanese house can be seen from several dimensions including dimension of material which in the form of artifact, socially agreed of basic concept dimension and applied science and the philosophical dimension which contains values of shaping mentality much deeper. Architectural details become an important part for the establishment of a Javanese house. Both of the constructive and not constructive details appear together in creation the creation. Thus, details have more roles such as being able to trace a building culture, architectural and skill knowledge, psychological dimension, the story of the building process, so that architectural details need to be viewed contextually. The method used in this paper is the qualitative method with based on the study of empirical phenomena in the field. Qualitative research is the study of several methods that focus on interpretation, naturalistic paradigm with phenomenological approach. The research findings from architectural detail in Javanese house is a detail function on Javanese architecture with wide spectrum which refers to the connectivity of thought between form, construction, material and carpentry. That connectivity is influenced by four aspects of human, nature, culture and beliefs embodied in architectural detail to realize the Java home.
