Abstract

This study aims to determine the extent of the application of traditional Karo ornaments which include the application, shape changes, and color changes in the Karo Regent Office building in Karo Regency. The population in this study were all ornaments found in the Karo Regent Office Building (total sampling) of 14 types of ornaments. This study uses a descriptive qualitative analysis approach based on the study of symbolic and Karo cultural philosophies. The results explained that the shape, color, and placement of the gerga no longer follow the rules based on the traditional placement of Karo. In Karo culture, gerga occupy structured fields in the traditional Karo house starting from the bottom (profane), middle (semi-sacred), and the top (sacred). In the upper part of the Karo Regent Office Building (Ayo-Ayo) the placement of the Gerga is in accordance with the Karo Traditional rules but not in the Derpih (wall) and Melmelen (kitchen bar) sections as well as the shape (proportion) changes and inconsistent color placement. . The conclusion of this study is that the ornaments that exist in the Karo Regent Office Building are used as decoration and aesthetic needs (profane) as a cultural identity of Karo, with the finding of a discrepancy in the placement of Karo ornaments based on the principle of ornamentation in the traditional Karo house. It is recommended that the placement, shape and color follow the ornamental principles found in the Karo traditional house.

Summary

Karo Traditional Ornament Analysis in Karo Regency Building of Karo District

Program Studi Pendidikan Seni Rupa, Jursan Seni Rupa, Fakultas Bahasa Dan Seni Universitas Negeri Medan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui sejauh mana penerapan ornamen tradisional Karo yang meliputi penerapan, perubahan bentuk, dan perubahan warna pada bangunan Kantor Bupati Karo Kabupaten Karo. Hasil penelitian menjelaskan bahwa bentuk, warna, dan penempatan Gerga tidak lagi mengikuti kaidah-kaidah berdasarkan penempatannya tradisional Karo. Dalam budaya Karo, gerga menempati bidang-bidang yang terstruktur pada rumah adat Karo mulai dari bagian bawah (profan), tengah (semi sakral), dan bagian atas (sakral). Pada Bangunan Kantor Bupati Karo bagian atas (Ayo-Ayo) penempatan Gerga sesuai dengan kaidah-kaidah Tradisional Karo namun tidak pada bagian Derpih (dinding) dan Melmelen (palang dapur) demikian juga pada bentuk (proporsi) terjadi perubahan dan penempatan warna yang tidak konsisten. Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini adalah bahwa ornamen-ornamen yang ada pada Bangunan Kantor Bupati Karo digunakan sebagai penghias dan kebutuhan estetik (profane) sebagai identitas budaya Karo, dengan ditemukannya ketidak sesuaian penempatan ornamen Karo berdasarkan prinsip dari ornamen pada rumah adat Karo.
