Application of the Tengger Architectural Concept through a Neo-Vernacular Approach in the Design of Tengger Resort at the Bromo Mountain Area, Sukapura, Probolinggo Regency

Abstract

Mount Bromo, an iconic tourist destination in East Java, attracts millions of tourists annually. The rapid development of tourism has spurred the construction of accommodation facilities, including resorts. However, such developments often disregard the distinctiveness of local architecture, which is rich in cultural value. This research aims to identify and examine the concept of Tengger architecture as a basis for a neo-vernacular approach in designing a Tengger Resort in Sukapura, Probolinggo Regency. The neo-vernacular approach is expected to create buildings that are responsive to the local context, sustainable, and still meet modern standards. The research method used is descriptive qualitative, involving literature studies, observation, and comparative analysis. The results of the study indicate that Tengger architecture possesses key elements such as building orientation, local materials, roof forms, and ornamental details that can be interpreted contemporaneously. Implementing a neo-vernacular approach in resort design will enrich the tourist experience while also preserve the cultural identity of the Tengger community.
