| Summary: | local and European cultures which had an impact on technological advances in
architecture that occurred in the Dutch East Indies. At that time, the Dutch East
Indies was used as experimental laboratories to support the emergence of new
architecture, so this demanded more efforts by architects to innovate the art of a
building at the time. This process was later known as the Indo-European
architecture. Indo-European architecture was pioneered by Maclaine Pont and
Thomas Karsten who agreed that Indo-European architecture should be sensitive
to the art of traditional Nusantara building. However, in contrast to Pont and
Karsten's opinion, Wolff Schoemaker assumed that European architecture did not
need a locality in it. This contrasting thought of Wolff Schoemaker was interesting
to discuss, besides he was also a very productive architect in the city of Bandung
in that periode
This study aims to express the conceptual thinking of C. P. Wolff Schoemaker
about religious buildings that respond to the concepts of Indo-European
architecture and religious architecture through the three buildings he designed,
namely the St. Peter Cathedral (Catholic), Bethel Church (Protestant) and
Cipaganti Mosque (Islam). Religious buildings are chosen because in the realm of
architecture, this function is classified as a difficult assignment because it must
reflect the beliefs of followers in the interior and exterior of the building, as well
as describe the underlying religious philosophy.
To achieve this goal, this research was conducted through four stages, namely,
data collection, verification, analysis and synthesis, also historical writing. The
results of this study revealed that Wolff Schoemaker's creative process in realizing
his religious building is based on pragmatic paradigm by emphasizing the
practicality and usefulness, compared to the values held by the people in it. |
