Transformation of traditional Balinese architecture building in the course of the 20th century

The Bachelor thesis deals with the development and changes of Balinese vernacular architecture in the 20th century. This thesis is supported by my own field research which was realized through semi- structured interviews. The main aim of this work is to objectively assess the extent to which during the last century the concept of a traditional architecture on the island of Bali has been distinguished from its original form. I focused not only to changes of construction but also in terms of religion and the relationship between human and his dwelling. For comparison, I have chosen four houses from different time periods. The first of these houses is maintained in its original form and works as an open-air museum. The second and third house are still retaining the original construction but the design has been modernized and there are also some innovations that undermine the principles based on traditional methodology Asta Kosala Kosali. The last building is a modern town house which has been already significantly diverged but also there are some original features, for example decorations or sacred spaces. Comparing these four objects I am referring to changes in terms of Asta Kosala Kosali, thereby the concept of the traditional Balinese house brings me to the current situation of construction of Balinese..
