Abstract

Traditional Balinese architectural ornaments have symbolic, historical, aesthetic, and allegorical meanings that characterize traditional Balinese buildings. Padas stone, a local material from the Petanu River and Wos River in Gianyar Regency, is often used for these ornaments. The development of tourism in Bali since the early 20th century encouraged the use of Balinese ornaments in the construction of tourist accommodations. Post-independence, this trend continued with regulations requiring public buildings in Bali to adopt traditional Balinese architectural styles. However, the increasing demand for padas stone ornaments led to environmental damage due to over-mining. Gianyar Regency’s Regional Regulation No. 15 of 2015 banned the mining of padas stone, triggering difficulties in obtaining the material. Craftsmen began to use artificial padas stone from recycled padas stone waste, although the quality is not yet uniform. This research aims to find the right mix composition to produce high-quality artificial padas stone, resembling natural padas stone. The results of the research are expected to provide solutions for natural resource efficiency and preserve the culture and industry of traditional Balinese architecture while creating employment opportunities. The finding of a raw composition that produces quality ornaments is also a form of respect for Balinese culture and environment.
