MASJID NABAWI SEBAGAI DASAR PEMBENTUKAN MASJID AGUNG KRATON SURAKARTA

ABSTRACT
 Prophet Muhammad was the architect and ground-breaking stone for the construction of the Prophet's Mosque or an-Nabawi in Medina in 622. The Prophet's Mosque was established with a very simple design yet it owns beneficial functions. The Prophet's Mosque is a place often used for various purposes for instance as government centers, learning centers, medical treatment place, detention and rehabilitation centers, and certainly more social or worshipping center. Building designed with a simple form but rich in functions had never existed before. Therefore, Prophet's Mosque had become the basis, inspiration, and catalyst for the development of Islamic civilization especially mosque architecture.
 The architecture of the mosque then became the most important identity for the progress of Muslims. The essence of Muslim architecture lies in function with all of its dimensions including the physical, intellectual, and spiritual aspects. The role of form is also important, but only insofar as it complements and enhances function. There are four typical mosques that are considered to represent the heritage of Islamic architecture in this world which were inspired by the Prophet's Mosque, namely; Arabic Type, Turkish Type, Persian Type, and Indian Type. This typology does not include the type of Indonesian mosque, even though the mosques built by Walisongo and the kings of Islamic Mataram in Java are no less great and unique compared to other famous mosques in the world. The question that then emerges is whether or not the Prophet's Mosque is the basis and inspiration for the realization of the Architecture of the Great Mosque of Keraton Surakarta.
 

The changing aspects of function and meaning of space in Alun-Alun Kidul Keraton Surakarta

As one of the traditional squares on the island of Java, Alun-alun Kidul Keraton Surakarta faces the challenge of changing its function. The physical condition of the South Square of the Keraton Surakarta is covered by a wall called beteng. In the Javanese spiritual concept, Alun-alun Kidul is connected in an imaginary line to the south coast. In terms of structure, the Alun-alun Kidul has a characteristic Javanese town square in general which is influenced by the cosmological concept of Hindu society. In the past, the function of the Alun-alun Kidul was closed and had a high degree of privatization and became a place for rituals of silence and contemplation of the king. On the other hand, the current physical condition and function of Alun-Alun Kidul have changed. This change is an effort to support the needs of the city today and in the future. The method used in this research is a phenomenological descriptive approach, refers to a grounded theory that does not use the term population but emphasizes a social situation consisting of four elements, namely place, activity, person (actor), and time. The results showed a pattern of spatial use for sacred and profane activities in spatial and temporal characteristics. Physical structure patterns in permanent form do not occur much, but semi-permanent and non-permanent physical patterns show changes in the meaning and behavior of space. These patterns show non-physical influences, namely the influence of cultural aspects, social aspects, economic aspects, and political aspects, as well as the behavior and mindset of the community, especially Surakarta City.
