• 😀 The model reflects a unique combination of the Honai's circular walls and the Mbaru Niang's cone-shaped roof with a raised platform, preserving both houses' unique features.
• 😀 The materials used in constructing the model include ijuk (for the roof), sticks and cardboard (for the walls), artificial grass, and Styrofoam, with a total cost of approximately IDR 197,000.
• 😀 The house model demonstrates the architectural fusion between the two houses while emphasizing the significance of cultural preservation and appreciation for Indonesia's diverse traditions.
• 😀 Through this project, the goal is to highlight the value of cultural diversity and promote the importance of preserving Indonesia's traditional heritage, encouraging a deeper understanding of cultural fusion.

What is cultural acculturation as defined in the presentation?

Cultural acculturation is the process of blending elements from two different cultures, resulting in the creation of a new cultural form while maintaining the unique characteristics of each culture.

The Honai and Mbaru Niang were chosen because they represent the cultural heritage of two regions in eastern Indonesia (Papua and NTT) that share similar architectural features, making them ideal for demonstrating cultural fusion.

What unique feature of the Mbaru Niang was incorporated into the model?

The Mbaru Niang's distinctive conical roof and the raised platform (or 'house on stilts') structure were incorporated into the model.

What materials were used to create the model of the houses?

The model was made using various materials such as ijuk (palm fiber) for the roof, ice cream sticks and cardboard for the walls, styrofoam for the base, and decorative stones and synthetic grass for added detailing.

How were the Honai's walls adapted for the model?

The walls of the Honai, which are typically circular and do not have windows, were represented in the model using cardboard, which was then covered with ice cream sticks for decoration.

What inspired the design of the roof for the model?

The roof design was inspired by the Mbaru Niang's conical roof, but in the model, it was made using ijuk (palm fiber) instead of the traditional lontar leaf, to reflect the cultural acculturation.

What role does the marketplace play in the construction of the model?

The marketplace was where materials like ijuk (palm fiber) and other components such as synthetic grass and decorative stones were sourced. Prices for the materials were also mentioned in the presentation.

Why is the combination of these two house types significant?

The combination of these two house types symbolizes the cultural blending between Papua and NTT, two regions of eastern Indonesia, and highlights the importance of understanding and preserving cultural heritage through such acculturations.

What educational value does this cultural model offer?

The model provides an educational opportunity to learn about Indonesia’s rich cultural diversity, the importance of cultural preservation, and how different communities interact and influence each other over time, especially through the lens of architecture.
