Abstract

Being part of cultural forms, the architecture of sacred buildings is inextricably linked to principles contained in manuscripts and philosophical norms passed through generations. As places for worship, sacred buildings have socio-cultural importance. Bayung Gede settlement is one of Bali Aga villages that has distinctive cultural and architectural features. The architecture of its sacred buildings is founded by a belief system dominated by inherited ancestral values and norms. This article reveals figures, forms, and philosophical concepts of sacred buildings of the Bayung Gede Village. Discussions within reflect a study of a qualitative approach using descriptive data analysis supported by relevant drawings and images. Research findings indicate that sacred buildings in Bayung Gede village are classified into four types: those that come with tetambakan, without tetambakan, in the shape of altars, and sacred buildings in residential areas.
