Comparison of the Size of the Facade Element of Vernacular Architecture of Lamban Pesagi with the Golden Section as an Initial Variable Parametric Design Method

Abstract

Lampung Province has a heritage of vernacular architecture that is hundreds of years old. However, nowadays, it is very difficult to find buildings that use the vocabulary of Lampung vernacular forms. The building design characterized by Lampung culture now only relies on the Siger ornament which is applied to the facade. In fact, there are other elements of Lampung's vernacular architecture that can be applied to modern buildings. This research was conducted so that people care more and have awareness to apply the essence of Lampung's vernacular architecture to the buildings they design. This research was conducted by providing parameters for the comparison of the basic geometric shapes of Lampung vernacular architecture of Lamban Pesagi with the golden section units used in international standards. The result of this study is the percentage between the sizes of architectural elements in traditional Lampung houses (Lamban Pesagi), namely the column elements (aghi), floors (gegading), and ceiling heights to the international golden section unit, so that they can be used as a reference in designing the vocabulary of traditional architecture into modern architecture, or called the Neo-Vernacular architectural style.
