[Architectural Research] Modern Tropical House Is The Result Of Metamorphosis Between Climate Condition, Traditional Architecture And Modern Architecture
Talking about architecture, of course so many discussions that we can find. But on this occasion I narrowed the discussion of architecture with the discussion "Modern Tropical House Is The Result Of Metamorphosis Between Climate Condition, Traditional Architecture And Modern Architecture". But before that of course we have to know first what is tropical architecture?
What is Tropical Architecture?
Actually there are so many meanings of architecture itself;
Architecture is the study of building design, from macro design; school buildings, apartments, offices, homes, landscape up to micro design, such as furniture design. The architect is the person himself (the person who designed it). So different right, Architecture is the science and the architect is the person. Never think that architects and architecture are the same. Sometimes people wrongly argue with it.
Tropical architecture is a science that deals with the "cultural" context. Though the word tropical itself has nothing to do with culture or culture, but related to climate. Solving the design problem of tropical architecture (wet) in the end is very open. Tropical architecture can be any shape, not necessarily similar to traditional architectural forms that are commonly found in Indonesian territory, as long as the design of the building leads to the solution of problems caused by tropical climate such as sun, high temperature, rain and high humidity will be called Architecture Tropical.
How the Influence of Tropical Architecture on Modern Buildings "(Home)"?
The existence of an architectural work for the community and the surrounding environment provides a discourse on the design and application contextual with the built environment. The pattern of human life begins to change by itself, as well as with the current architectural style of society, in a country like Indonesia, climate is one of the most important things to be considered for implementing development. In the selection of design concepts that follow the climate until the building is energy efficient.
Being in a tropical environment has its own blessings. Why not? The abundant sunshine always shines through the windows of the house. High rainfall fertilizes the plants in the yard of the house so that the scenery is extraordinary beautiful to be enjoyed and felt. Both of these become potential in designing a house.
Home design should be based on the environment. That way will be produced a ldeal, comfortable, and healthy for its users and energy efficient. Environment The country that has a tropical season becomes a consideration in designing the house. This has been done by our ancestors when building houses.
You could say traditional house from the design of our ancestors is a work that is tested and telling in seeing the condition of tropical nature. Wide eyebrows are made to protect the walls and heat of the sun and rain. That way, the air condition inside the house feels more dingln. Stage house is made so that conditions inside the house does not feel damp and reduce the heat in the house during the day. The materials used are very environmentally friendly and always be an alternative choice for the designer of the house who want the design look tropical and comfortable to occupy.
Along with the changing times, technological advances, as well as the influence of lifestyles and external cultures, the beauty of traditional architecture was later developed using more modern building materials. For example, the foundation for the stage house no longer uses wood but iron is casted concrete. The bricks are made as high as 70 cm-110 cm which is then combined with wood. Gradually with the influence of modern architectural style, fully designed and built using modern materials, but still pay attention to the context of the building environment to be built. The wide eyebrows and wide window openings for exposure and lighting remain a concern. Only, the house is designed with geometric shapes. The design of the building is more of a function, and the decoration in the traditional house is reduced and even eliminated. The ornament only acts as an accent, such as vertical or horizontal lis-cast that acts as a barrier of sunlight.
Tropical environmental conditions can also be a threat to the appearance of the house, one of which is the wall of the house is easy to damp. For that, from the beginning of the house should be designed with attention to the existing environmental conditions.

Conclusion
Along with the changing times, technological progress, as well as the influence of lifestyles and outside cultures, the beauty of traditional architecture has begun to be developed by using more modern building materials but still pay attention to the rules of the design so that the identity of the architecture is not lost.
