Abstract

Temple is a place to carry out worship services for adherents of the teachings or religion of Confucius, Taoism, and Buddhism. Tay Kak Sie Temple is an old temple that was founded in 1746 in the Chinatown area of Semarang. This temple has become one of the religious tourism objects in the city of Semarang which has very high cultural and religious values. The interior design of this temple prioritizes new innovations to create temples that are not only used for worship, but can also be used for educational and cultural tourism. Visitors feel the experience through the senses, from seeing, smelling, hearing and touching as well as feeling a part of the acculturation development between Chinese and Indonesian culture. The characteristic that distinguishes the temple from other buildings is the ornament. Ornaments in temples can be interpreted in the form of art and culture, as religious symbols of a culture, and also as an ideology.
