While sustainability are increasingly being dudengungkan people, but on the other hand there are many who - consciously or not - it does not care about sustainability. Call it a clear example, traditional houses. Includes a traditional Minangkabau in West Sumatra, its existence must be considered, if indeed we want the building can still be enjoyed by our children and grandchildren someday.
Traditional buildings is a feature for each region. Structure may know the identity of these areas, because it is normal to typical buildings that need to be conserved. But on the other hand, the inhabitants of these buildings may have a desire to replace his old house Dehgan modern new building, if at all possible. Of course, this is understandable considering they also want to enjoy the development in this era of increasingly sophisticated. And this problem is not going to go away without any effort and all parties.
Things to consider is the importance of the introduction of these buildings, so the desire to preserve the stronger and may be used as well as for building owners motifator distinctive buildings to also maintain traditional buildings
There is a myth that our ancestors came from Minang people who came across the sea by boat. Based on some investigation Minang people from Asia who came in about the year 200 BC and lived in the stone age nomadic pattern (moving ternpat). The next wave, Tonkin people from Southeast Asia into the Minang culture with a metal. And from this culture Tonkin, born Indonesian culture in general and the Minang culture in particular. Thus continue to grow until Islam arrived in the 16th century. Since then, the Minang closely with the teachings of Islam, even today.
Minang culture is unique, not unlike other areas in this country of ours. There is one difference in the Minang community system, which is not found in other areas. The system is a family line which, according to the mother line, known as Matrilineal. The system is so strongly inherent in every society Minang, to affect the composition or her plan.
Broadly speaking, Minang kinship systems can be divided into four, namely the House, headed by mamak home; then paruik, which is formed by one family and a few houses. Genealogical ties still. Third, is Kampuang led by the village headman and shaped by some paruik. And lastly, the tribe led by chiefs and formed by several villages. Here we can see the hierarchy in the kinship system Minang society. In a family, all family matters are taken care of by an adult male of the family, which acts as a "ninik mamak" for the family. Family responsibilities is located at a mamak or relative of the mother. And a father in the family including the Minangkabau is another family of his wife and son. Similarly, boys, including another family of his father's family. A man at home his wife is a "sumando" or honored guests. In terms perkawinanpun, there are rules that need to be rules. In an ideal society is marriage Minang their cross cousins ​​or Exogarni Cross Cousin Marriage (ECCM), the marriage mobreda "brother or mother-daughter, the marriage between men with the daughter of mamaknya. Can also be found among men in marriage with the nephew or son sister father. In addition, the Minang culture is considered feasible if a man marries one of his sisters and his late wife or a widow to marry her brother. Marriage kind of noodles are very respected and known as "menyiliehkan" Another thing is no stranger to the marriage dowry in society Minang, but the "money transfers". Usually also held the two families exchange symbol objects known as "batuka Tando", in the form of a ring or dagger.

In the Minang, settlement patterns at the macro or settlement called "villages". And its constituent elements include taratak area, the area of ​​the fields and the forest around villages and a source of income seharii-day. Then local habitation, which is a residential area which has a central orientation of the central villages.

Center nagari usually formed of several functions of public buildings, such as the customs hall, where traditional leaders held a meeting to solve a big problem, nagari hall, mosque and market. Concentration permukirnan instinctively forming spaces taratak flanking regions as areas where the daily livelihood. Overall, the pattern also depends on Nagari Minang of the ground situation, but there is still the main street of houses arranged to follow the roads that form. Composition of the house, usually rnenghadap way, either parallel or perpendicular to the road. Sometimes there is also a rnenghadap sun​​.

settlement patterns Minang community based system of government called "Kampuang" or village. And kampuang consists of several paruik, which can mean one of the big but still there consanguinity. The village is often referred to as an ellipse. As a group, can be divided into two groups occupancy. Small residential groups, is a descendant of Seibu. If a family does not have enough space for all the women in the house, it is usually made ​​a new home on family land. The houses can face each other or side by side. The house was known as a traditional house. And the front of the house there is usually a traditional granary number one to three, depending on the level of family income. Barn is called "rangkiang" which is also a symbol of social status.

Another group is the dwelling hesar. The group is in the kinship system called paruik, or it means the stomach, which is a descendant of a wider / bigger and the direct descendant.

Usually paruik group consists of several custom homes. Traditionally Minang people do not know the orientation of the building in particular. The buildings there are made ​​to adjust to the road, usually parallel to the direction of the road. Houses are usually turned the second tier and the third tier dealing with the second layer. And so on, but it depends also by soil conditions. It lands in the Minangkabau region consists of lowlands and highlands. Minangkabau which is located in the province of West Sumatra are on the ground with a height varies from 2 meters to 927 meters above sea level. The average height of about 368 meters above sea level.

In the case of houses, Minangkabau society is closely associated with the customs. Rumahpun functions will vary and depend upon several things such as, position the man who built the house of the family or tribe, the status of the land on which the house was built, and the influence of family environment that builds them. It can be said there are two types of houses, namely: custom homes and home gadang. The traditional house is a family home that accommodates all activities ceremonies with completeness. While the house just, although the same shape with custom homes but its function is more adapted to the needs of the family, not for custom events. Because, for a custom house needed certain requirements that not just anyone can create these custom homes.

Review plans for traditional Minang rurnah can be seen in their ancestral home. Usually made ​​symmetrical arrangement with a plan to get in on the center of the longitudinal axis direction. The amount of space, adjusted by the number of girls or women who lived at home, but still made ​​the odd amount of space for taking care of the symmetry earlier impression. All the rooms in the house is reserved for women, where they can receive husbands at night. So it is not unknown for the men's room. Large sitting room located at the front for guests menerirna and ceremonial place. There is a kind of implicit sense of a large sitting room, the fact that the Minang people are very familiar with the schools of "democracy" is termed "low sitting together, stand as tall". This space is also used for casual conversation, even perabotannyapun almost nothing. Usually people sit under the mats, as well as at mealtime, sit under anyway. lounge in, to support the activities of the large sitting room.

The kitchen is usually found on the back of the house, does not become one with the house. But if you want to put the kitchen in the house, they usually take place in the living room back, exactly on the axis entrance. As for the bathroom at home custom homes are usually placed separately. On the left and right side, there is usually a special space to sit or weaving for women. This space is usually called "anjuang" and raised the floor a little bit of the living room. The room is this woman doing crafts, whether it be weaving, knitting, embroidery or other activities. Of their activities is born handicrafts typical of the region traditionally enrich us.

As with other areas of traditional buildings, homes Minang also known head-body-feet at the building. Head indicated the roof has a typical shape, such as a saw blade upside down by the lines curve and facing out. Of course shortened form of the roof looks like an isosceles triangle are slightly curved. Roof forms such as "gonjong" or canopy that supposedly derived from the basic form of buffalo horn, and said Minangkabau (Kabau means buffalo). Gonjong this is a traditional symbol of greatness. At each custom home, there are usually four gonjong, but many were added on each anjuang gonjong, bringing the total number to six gonjongnya. The house with six gonjong it can be enjoyed in TMII, Jakarta.
Materials for the roof are usually selected fibers, likely to have easy time forming arches. Gradually, many are replacing the roof with zinc, can also be seen even now building a roof gonjong the roofing material of tiles.
The body is a wall of the house. At a meeting between the roof and the body, there is a "ceiling" that serves as a place to store items that are rarely used. Usually the same as the ceiling material flooring materials, namely wood (board), and a two-layered walls. The outer layer is made of woven bamboo and "sasak bugih" and next to the wall using the board. In the family were, many adorned his wall carvings or ornament-colorful ornaments. Indeed, the color in Minang quite "bold". This can be seen not only from the trappings of home, but also and customary attire.
The bottom is the foot, which is realized by the vault. The entire floor of the house is raised, forming a hollow, as usual our traditional buildings. The height of the ground floor is usually reached by stairs, and wood or stone. And traditional houses are still many villages in West Sumatra stands high enough, there is even a section kolongnya adults can enter without having to bend. The function is similar to pit-trap under the other is a place to store goods or livestock. Usually vault was closed but not permanent. Sometimes the lid is placed next to the outside so it looks more building stands on a pole.
