Revitalization of Dalem Jayadipuran in Yogyakarta through Adaptive Reuse

Abstract

As a historical city with a strong connection to the keraton, Yogyakarta has many nobility houses called ‘dalem.’ One of which is Dalem Jayadipuran, located in Jl. Brigjen Katamso, Yogyakarta.  This dalem was once the house of a nobleman named KRT Jayadipura and is now used as an office for Balai Pelestarian Kebudayaan Wilayah X. This already shows that it was reused through adaptive reuse. Still, there are some problems, such as changes to the façade and the addition of new elements that damage the original elements, which are not in line with the regulations. This study aims to revitalize Dalem Jayadipuran to its original state, while maintaining its current function as an office for Balai Pelestarian Kebudayaan Wilayah X and adding new functions aligned with the building’s history as a place closely linked to the spirit of culture. The method used in this study is qualitative, in which the data obtained are used to understand the building’s cultural significance as a reference in the design proposal.
