Abstract

The research aims to propose a conceptual framework for implementing Balinese
architectural elements in contemporary living environments. Utilizing a qualitative
methodology, the study conducts a comprehensive literature review to explore the
integration of traditional Balinese architecture into modern architectural practices.
The research identifies key Balinese architectural elements that can be adapted for
contemporary use, including spatial layout, pamesuan (entrance), facade,
ornamentation, and materials. These elements are recognized for their potential to
enhance modern living spaces with cultural depth, aesthetic value, and
environmental sustainability. The study concludes that the thoughtful incorporation
of Balinese architectural principles into modern designs can create living spaces that
are not only functional and aesthetically pleasing but also deeply rooted in cultural
heritage. This integration offers a pathway towards preserving Balinese architectural
identity while meeting the demands of contemporary living, suggesting a harmonious
balance between tradition and modernity.
