Abstract

Ornament has been one of the elements in Islamic architectural designs from the past until now. Ornaments are interpreters and extensions that link buildings with history and culture. This research discusses the role of ornament in architectural design as a means to build sustainability and local aesthetics in the Pidie area. This study aims to explore the concept of ornaments that reflect local cultural identity and promote the principles of sustainability in architectural design. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative. Data was collected through a literature review, as well as tracing architectural design case studies with the use of sustainable local ornaments in Pidie. Analysis was carried out to identify forms, motifs, and ornamental materials used in local architectural designs and their sustainability. The population in this study were all traditional worship buildings in Pidie Regency, and the research samples were 3 (three) traditional worship buildings which were rich in ornaments. The research findings show that the most common ornamental styles in traditional worship buildings are calligraphy, geometry, and floral designs. Future research is expected to find out how traditional ornament ideas can be coordinated with contemporary ornaments. Ornaments in architectural design in Pidie have high aesthetic value and reflect local cultural identity.
