Keywords:
Cultural Ornaments, Simalungun, State Buildings, Cultural Preservation, RegulationsAbstract
This study aims to analyze the use and placement of Simalungun cultural ornaments in state buildings, focusing on aesthetic suitability, function, philosophy, and factors that affect their placement. The results showed that most ornaments have shown aesthetic and symbolic suitability, but some ornaments have paid less attention to the function of space, reducing visual effectiveness and philosophical meaning. Factors that influence the placement of ornaments include the location of the building, the size and depth of the space, the type of ornament, and the involvement of designers who understand the cultural philosophy. The role of local governments and stakeholders has proven to be important in regulation, supervision, and education related to ornamental preservation. The recommendations given include the preparation of official guidelines, the involvement of local cultural experts and artisans, strengthening regulations, public education, and integrating modern design with traditional ornaments, as an effort to optimize the preservation of Simalungun culture.
