Climate Adaptation In Tambi Traditional Houses, Central Sulawesi, Indonesia

Abstract

Tambi Traditional House is a traditional house located in Central Sulawesi. This traditional house is a reflection of architectural work that is full of tradition and meaning and contains local wisdom and is a solution to local climate problems. The form of the building and the materials used are two aspects that can be used to identify and analyze climate adaptation in the Tambi traditional house, Central Sulawesi. This study aims to identify, describe and reveal the climate adaptation applied by the Tambi traditional house. The image data taken in this article is secondary data, from scientific journal literature. The main materials used include bonati wood, bamboo, and ijuk, each of which has a specific function in the structure and design of the house. The pillars in the Tambi traditional house use wood because they have high compressive and tensile strength. In addition, because of its resistance to pests and rot, this material is also used as the main frame. Bamboo in the Tambi traditional house is used as a wall element because it is porous so it can support air circulation in the house. Meanwhile, ijuk is used as a roof because of its good water resistance and thermal insulation properties. This study found that the shape of the stage and the steep roof angle are solutions to the local climate. In addition, the local materials used are not only environmentally friendly but also reflect harmony with nature and resources. The results of this study are expected to increase insight into traditional architecture, especially the Tambi traditional house, as an architectural heritage that responds to the climate in its design and materials.
