TRADITIONAL ARCHITECTURE AND CONTESTATION OF PRE-COLONIAL POWER CONTESTATION IN GIANYAR DISTRICT: RETRANSLATION GEGIANYARAN ARCHITECTURAL STYLE

As a cultural product, architecture is a communication medium of an identity or symbolism of power where the authorities strive to represent their unique influence and identity in their territory through various media including architectural works. Therefore, by investigating the relationship between power relations in the pre-colonial period and the resulting architectural works, we will be able to explore architectural styles in a region and formulate variations between styles that exist in an area. Identification and exploration of local architectural identity is urgent in an effort to preserve the use of local architecture. This is in accordance with the spirit of spatial planning and building legislation as well as the Udayana University research road map that is tourism based on local wisdom and the preservation of cultural arts.

An architectural work is formed by various elements such as mass composition, proportion, ornament and building material. Gegianyaran, which is more dominated by the use of a combination of red bricks with sandstone, is a reference for the forms and forms of traditional architecture in Bali. However, people's understanding of this style is still limited to the use of building materials and has not touched the shape and shape of the building. Therefore it is necessary to explore the architectural form of gegianyaran and its variations which are related to power relations in the pre-colonial period in Gianyar

To achieve this goal, this study developed a two-tiered method. The first step is the figure investigation phase. In this stage, the study of historical literacy and restoration is the first step to ensure the building is the work of pre-colonial times. The second step (second year) explores the characteristics and components of its architectural style. Data collection is carried out through field measurements, interviews and historical literacy. The analytical method is the technique of architectural examination and graphical analysis in which the image and form of architecture are the main tools.

With the identification of architectural characters and architectural variations, it is expected to be able to be used as a reference/ model for the application of architectural styles that are distinctive, as well as capital for tourism development in the region.
