Abstract EN:

The thesis includes an introduction and two parts. The introduction presents the objective and limitation of the study, the historical background, and describes briefly the nature of traditional architecture as well as that of new art in the west. It takes up succintly the characteristics of cities typically indonesian, representing those of the javanese, as they existed before the colonial period. The first part discusses the geographical, historical and architectural aspects of three (3) javanese cities : semarang, magelang and pasuruan. The colonial buildings of these three cities fall into two categories : 1. Public buildings : train stations, offices, business establishments (markets, movie houses, hotels, etc. ), those devoted to religious worship (churches, mosques, chinese temples, etc. ), post offices, schools, etc. ); 2. Private buildings : villas, residential houses, duplexes, etc. This part makes a typological study based on these criteria : setting, plan, construction, materials used, styles. The second part is a study of four well-known dutch architects and two architectural offices based in java.
