KAJIAN SEJARAH PELESTARIAN MASJID ANGKE JAKARTA

Abstract

ABSTRACT

The Angke Mosque is a cultural heritage built by Chinese, Balinese and Javanese Muslims in 1761M, in Jakarta. The architecture of the Angke Mosque is a legacy of the spirit of Bhinneka Tunggal Ika from the acculturation of various cultures. The original form of the Angke mosque architecture changes over time, the environmental context, the need for spatial functions, etc. These changes raise problems about how to preserve the authenticity of the Angke Mosque architecture. This study tries to trace the architectural changes of the Angke Mosque and the things that influence it in order to find directions to preserve its authenticity. The method used is qualitative with a descriptive analysis approach.

 In the course of time, the Angke Mosque, experiences a period without users, a period closed by new functions and a period of returning to its original form. This study explains that the existence of funds is able to preserve buildings, but not necessarily able to preserve architectural authenticity. Preservation of architecture requires a network of diverse communities that interact and cooperate in a balanced manner. The implementation of the six principles of the Fritjof Capra determines the potential for preserving the architecture of the Angke Mosque. The more complete the existence and operation of this principle, the greater its potential for sustainability.
