Abstract

This study is in order to implement the mandate of UNESCO (2003) on the documentation of architectural heritage of the modern period of the 19th-20th century, where in reality several typologies of architectural heritage are currently in a marginalized condition. As part of the history of modern architecture in Indonesia, transformator huisje (Dutch) or “gardu listrik” (Indonesian) which still exist today, are not widely known as buildings that have important values in the past. This study aims to reveal whether transformator huisje architecture is classified as Modern Heritage, by tracing its historical background. Architectural analysis of 61 transformator huisje was conducted to build a “genesis”—a scheme of origin—of transformator huisje which can explain how this type of architecture was formed in accordance with the values or principles of modern architecture. The study findings show that all design features of transformator huisje as buildings for machines are strong representations of Modern Architectural Heritage in Asia, especially the Dutch East Indies (Indonesia). In conclusion, with the finding that transformator huisje is categorized as Modern Architectural Heritage, a strategy is needed to maintain this type of architecture as evidence of modern civilization in Indonesia.

印度尼西亚被边缘化的现代建筑遗产：以荷兰和印度时代的变压器式建筑为例

本研究是为了执行联合国教科文组织（2003）关于19 -20世纪现代时期建筑遗产记录的任务，在现实中，建筑遗产的几种类型目前处于边缘状态。作为印度尼西亚现代建筑史的一部分，今天仍然存在的transformator huisje（荷兰语）或“gardu listrik”（印度尼西亚语）在过去并不被广泛认为是具有重要价值的建筑。本研究旨在通过追溯其历史背景，揭示变压器徽商建筑是否被归类为现代遗产。对61座变压器回炉进行建筑分析，构建一个“起源”——变压器回炉的起源方案，来解释这种类型的建筑是如何按照现代建筑的价值观或原则形成的。研究结果表明，变压器房作为机器建筑的所有设计特征都是亚洲现代建筑遗产的强烈代表，特别是荷属东印度群岛（印度尼西亚）。综上所述，随着变压器huisje被归类为现代建筑遗产的发现，需要采取策略来维护这种类型的建筑，作为印度尼西亚现代文明的证据。
