AB  - Architecture in Indonesia acquires various forms and technology tradition which reflects a variety of cultures and the richness of history inheritance. One of conventional architecture is traditional residence. Every culture in Indonesia has its own characteristic and it is uniquely established based the identity of each tribe in Indonesia.
