Abstract

Javanese buildings can be understood both physically and non-physically, one of them is the Dalem Ageng Prabayeksa which is in the Dalem Mangkubumen complex. This building has the most important and sacred position in the complex with the uniqueness of the hip roof (limasan), which cannot be found in other hip roof buildings. This study focuses on optical illusions that occur on the roof of the building in front (south) and rear (north) views using explorative descriptive methods. Optical illusions that affect visual perception occur because of the imaginary perspective lines formed from the diagonals of the roof of the building so that an illusion is created that make the roof of the building look wider and taller than it should be. The roof of the building is also formed from proportions that are in accordance with the reference for the building as a house and the building as a place of worship (temples) which supports how optical illusions can occur so that a visual perspective and meaning behind the design of the roof appears which makes sense and is in line with the position of the Dalem Ageng Prabayeksa building as the most important and sacred building in the Dalem Mangkubumen complex.

Abstract

The fact that the Yogyakarta Palace is a centre and means of embodying cultural values that are still maintained and exist is proven through two aspects intangibles and tangibles. The distribution of local values reality, such as philosophy increasingly being threatened among the younger generation. From the physical revitalisation, we can understand the symbolic meaning of the Yogyakarta Palace through buildings because they contain complete symbolic meanings, especially in Witana Ward's floor elevation. What is the floor elevation shape with the steps? How is the relationship process between geometric shapes and symbolic meanings? What is the symbolic meaning of the floor elevation shape with steps? The research questions align with the urgency to formulate floor elevation shapes with the steps, formulate a relationship process between geometric shapes and symbolic meanings, and formulate the symbolic meaning of the floor elevation shape. The semiotic method with Peirce and Chandler's analytical model will be applied to study the floor elevation forms to uncover latent factors that are produced by truths under local knowledge. The result is a system consisting of three sign components, built from floor elevation shape with the steps objects that have a relationship with Vastu as context.
