Modul 7 EAST NUSANTARA TRADITIONAL ARCHITECTURE LOMBOK ARCHITECTURE The Sasak In the North of Lombok is dominated with mountain range, whose highest peak is Mount Rinjani (3726 m). The mountains draw down rainfall which makes irrigated rice cultivation possible in fertile plain running accross the center of the island. In the South of Lombok is one of arid limestone hills whose unreliable rainfall makes agriculture difficult and capable of supporting only a sparse population. Lombok Island is the blending of historical influences. For much of the past three centuries, Lombok was dominated by the Balinese as a depency of the Javanese Kindom of Majapahit of 14th century. Lombok was fought over by Klungkang (Balinese kingdom-east sentral) and The Makassarese Kingdom of Gowa (South Sulawesi) with its vassal state of Bima (Sumbawa). In the years of 1740-1894 Balinese Kingdom of Karangasem prevail. In 1894 the Sasak staged an uprising which with Dutch intervention, led to the final expulsion of the Balinese Raja. The 18th century temple palace complex of Narmada and Mayora water palace at Cakranegara are the architectural legacy of the Balinese Era. Some 85.000 Balinese still live in West Lombok, lived with indigenous Sasak. http://www.mercubuana.ac.id

The Rice Barns The rice barns (lumbung) is a distinctive of Sasak architecture. The structure is raised on piles in an unusual bonet-shape roof. Thatched with alang-alang grasses. The four pondation posts support a pair of transverse beams on top of which rests a cantilevered roof frame with bamboo rafters. The only opening is a small rectangular hatch hightop in the gable end into which a harvested rice is placed. Large wooden discs (jelepreng) are set onto the top of the foundation posts to prevent rodents from getting at the rice store. http://www.mercubuana.ac.id Wetu Telu Mosques Some 28.000 Sasak adhere to a syncretic form of Islam designated as Wetu Telu, which incorporates both Hindu and indigenous animist beliefs.
