Abstract

Lasem is a district in Rembang, with its geographical position on the north coast of Central Java-Indonesia. Lasem became one of the landing point of Chinese explorers in the 13th century. Residential architecture in Lasem Chinatown is one of the evidence of acculturation that still exists today. The acculturation existed between the local culture of Javanese with the culture of Chinese immigrants. Other acculturation occured on the 17th-18th century, when Dutch was tried to overcome Lasem. So, during this period architecture in Lasem was also influenced by Colonial Style. Residential entrance area will be interesting to be reviewed because it acts as a marker and show the identity of the occupants. This review will examine the phenomenon of acculturation that exist on the main entrance gate of residentials in Chinatown. This introduction research aims to enrich the study of architecture acculturation to verify of the culture tolerance in Lasem. Acculturation patterns contained in the Lasem Chinatown residential main gates is expected to be an inspiration for maintaining the spirit of togetherness and tolerance among the local community, and is expected to be passed on to other regions. The main focus of this review is to find patterns of acculturation by outlining the architectural elements of the gate which is acted as a marker. This is a descriptive-interpretive study, whilst sources are taken from the field, the physical data and the interviews with the local community. Literature studies conducted to get an idea of the culture, architecture and conditions of society at that time.
