This study presents a new dataset of Balinese traditional architecture, featuring residential and sacred buildings with detailed 2D drawings and metadata. This resource aids in the exploration and preservation of unique Balinese architectural heritage.
Area of Science:
- Architectural Studies
- Cultural Heritage Preservation
- Digital Archiving
Background:
- Balinese traditional architecture is a rich cultural heritage requiring systematic documentation.
- Existing documentation methods may not fully capture the nuances of traditional designs.
- A comprehensive dataset is needed for research and preservation efforts.
Purpose of the Study:
- To introduce a novel dataset of Balinese traditional architecture.
- To provide detailed 2D drawings and metadata for both residential and sacred buildings.
- To facilitate research, cultural preservation, and education in Balinese architecture.
Main Methods:
- Compilation of data from traditional Balinese architectural texts.
- Creation of 2D drawings (front, side, section views, floor plans) using AutoCAD.
- Export of designs to JPG format using Figma with accompanying metadata (size, structural details).
Main Results:
- A dataset comprising 14 types of residential buildings (68 images) and 29 types of sacred buildings (76 images).
- Designs accurately reflect traditional Balinese architectural norms.
- Enhanced usability through comprehensive metadata.
Conclusions:
- The dataset serves as a valuable resource for understanding and preserving Balinese architectural heritage.
- It supports interdisciplinary research and educational initiatives.
- Promotes digital preservation of cultural assets.
