Abstract

Vernacular architecture has been developed to fulfill human need and to encourage their live, which make architecture has close relationship with human culture(Rapoport, 1969). These process make vernacular building has a uniqueness, such as :a) non-engineered construction in response to the needs of their occupants, b) Struggle with their physical environment, c) it cannot be separated from locality, d) ecological wisdom. Such holistic approach promotes architecture should have paradigms : 1) buildings which physically last long, require little maintenance, and save in energy, 2) the way architecture and environment ought to be in fostering man’s spirit. Kampung Adat (indigenous) Mahmud as urban kampong has implemented climate-adaptive technology in sustaining the built enviroment which such vernacular wisdom. The aim of the research is to get better understanding how community of the Kampong could do climate-adaptive technology, which includes : 1) to identify and to evaluate climate challenge, 3) to analyse technology as adaptation to climate, 4) to evaluate the effectiveness each technology, 5) to develop the potential of climate adaptive technology. The methodology of research is qualiative descriptive, which based on observation and actual measurement. The useful of the research is: 1) to get better understanding of local technology in adapting to climate, 2)to develop such adaptive technology. Such principles must be applied in : 1) House Shape which can better minimize or withstand the impact of natural disaster, 2) Building method; sustainable construction practices are low cost, practical and environmentally appropriate, 3)Building Components, 4)Building Materials,which are either made fromnaturally available sources or from organic raw materials.
