Utilization of Used Wood as Material Structure and Construction of Sitinggil House Buildings

Abstract

 Material plays an important role in the construction of a house because it becomes a constituent element for the establishment of a building. Sitinggil Dago Residence which is located on Jalan Dago Giri, Bandung, West Java is a house that has two functions. This house is interesting because overall it uses used wood as a structural and construction material by accentuating the structure of the building which is left as it is without finishing. The method used in this research is a descriptive analytical-qualitative method by observing the structure and construction of used wood on roofs, columns, and beams as well as the foundation as a base which is then compared with the theory and standardization of the use of wood in buildings. The results of this study show that used wood can still be reused for structures and construction on roofs, columns, and beams in residential buildings.
