  Abstract. Globalization excludes territory, carries out universal spirit as more emphasizing univalence rather than multivalence. In architectural context, universal perspective is just at doubt in its capacity to respond epoch challenge. Modernity proliferating into diversity of life aspects causes architecture attaint to hegemonic status not rich of colours, texture, ornament, and not rationalistic. Tectonic aspect in architecture is expected to be able to uplift locality dignity rooted from existing culture, nature, and material resource. This research is done with a qualitative, deductive and verificative method with study object of architectural work already available. Field observation result refers to a theory setup deductively from journal collections studies, expert's opinion so that it results in tectonic variable formulation in architecture.

  Research object selected is architectural work to explore tectonic architecture, known adept at exploring natural potency and local cultural riches as well as material usage of local building. A result obtained is a comprehension on tectonic in architecture and all aspects constituting it. A comprehension gained is tested to architectural work with perspective up to their implementation in the field. Finally it draws to a conclusion that tectonic aspect in architecture can be an creation alternative of locality architecture in Indonesia.

1. Introduction

  

To make it architectural, meaning that to speak language with space and gatra, with line and plane,

with a material and lace atmosphere, it is natural that individual is supposed to be architect in culture,

with the inner feeling (nurani). To make it architectural means to make it cultural, thus it is suitable

that Mangunwijaya known as a cultural with the inner feeling and responsibility to yield architectural

work not only having ‘utility’ but also having an ‘image’. Architecture is not only a problem of

concept, philosophy, and macro level thinking but must be also supported by sufficient knowledge via

micro level namely tectonic [1].

To make it architecture for Mangunwijaya is to do activities, including as craftmen. Mastery on

making-process from mastery of characteristic and trait of building material. Each architectural work

must be honest in expressing a meaning as set forth in it. Basic principle of Mangunwijaya's work is: 1)

Simplicity in forms of; 2) To build as low as possible; 3) Building material is as light as possible

mainly on the the above section; 4) building separation with complex function to be an independent

building, its form is not plural. Thus his work becomes more meaningful since there is story on the

plan and story on the process of embodiment [1].

Prijotomo in his writing as introduction maker of Pangarsa's book entitled, “Complexity of prasaja, in

architecture of humankind” tells that; each architecture is complexity including many aspect and

2. Material and Method

  

Data study is based on field survey result and some writing of books, journal media, social

communication media (internet), as well as interview result with user and guard in three study objects

namely; 1). Church of Santa Maria Assumpta in Klaten; 2). Residence of Arief Budiman in Salatiga,

both are works of Romo Mangunwijay; 3). Gallery of Cemeti as work of Eko Prawoto, explained

consecutively to start from:

  By bringing in workmen directly in the field without drawing a blueprint. Works that are rich with creativity and creation of material processing and the value of beauty created therefore make this building very inviting attention to be observed and studied its beauty and strength

  Development process is done by providing local material processed instantly in the field. All construction and setting of each building are employed by creation of craftsmanship and craftsmen good up to now

  Tectonic is produced since blend of traditional quality and modern quality, Coupled contrast and harmony

  Construction Detail, Structure, and other elements Structure detail and building construction are displayed or exposed to show as the way as it is and reasonable from system.

  Based on each/individual material character. Wood and bamboo are in a receiving building, mirror, and concrete on building of display

  Material treated as the way as it is in coincidence with utilization value and also has beneficial value to have esthetics, Effort of respecting tradition and culture of Yogyakarta is displayed by presenting joglo coupled with modernity

  The aspect of locality was felt when entering the Cemeti Art House. All appear openly (shown) to become architectural works that are rich with aesthetic values and meaning in accordance with their roles Building display expression simple and not salient Pyramid-formed roof becomes a receiving which displays from Panjaitan street, In illustration of its existence in Yogyakarta city (culture) but it displays with a building character in city

  The expression of Cemeti Art House as an Art Gallery appears simple unlike most art galleries, but behind the

  simplicity, there are local characteristics and typical identity of Javanese culture tradition strong in the midst of modernity dynamics of Yogyakarta society

  As gallery of artist’s venue to show their craftsmanship, building design, concept is made simple and neutral. Therefore art creation dispelled remain to be salient. Since it has on receiving room full of ornament agglutinated from a

  Joglo house.

  Two styles each dispelled to interpret Yogya city But in accordance with its function thus radiation is salient in design so that Cemeti Art House shall be principle on sustainable concept.

4. Conclusion

  

Result of discussion on tectonic in architecture based on theoretical study investigated on observation

object in the field shows that tectonic in architecture always presents meaning and a strong loyalty

aspect on design and work of architecture. The latter is realized and spatial compilation processing

creation (sketch organization), structural design and construction on building with material used in

accordance with trait and its characteristic. Honesty realized through reasonableness displays each

architectural element as the way as it is so that it has its beauty by itself. All is seen on building display

as expressed started from designing process to establishing into an architectural wok since there is

living vales in it.

  

Meaning and locality aspect in tectonic architect can be lifted as characteristic and identity of each

architect’s works since architect potency can be identified and characterized design notions. In relation

to technology advance and modernization flows thus they can be creative capital to yield architectural

work full of meaning with locality aspect characterized and identified in accordance with cultural

values and nation tradition supposed to conserverd and developed.
