Year
by year, month by month, there are many old buildings which have been
renovated. On one side, it’s not a wrong thing because the renovation
was done in order to defend the condition of the buildings so that they
can still stand firmly. For example, the floor-tile of mildewed floor
should be renewed or the wood of a brittle door ought to be changed into
the new one. Even, without any renovation, many old buildings perhaps
cannot stand firmly anymore. Unfortunately, most
of the renovation made the old buildings changed until their originality
proofed. People renovate the buildings by changing the parts of the buildings
or adding anything to the buildings without pay attention to their historical
value. Also, people in this era prefer modern buildings because the appearance
is more attractive or the care that is more practical. So, renovations
which were done usually
|
change
the appearance of old buildings in Yogyakarta totally. In Malioboro, 60%
or old buildings there have been changed into modern buildings. This is
a sad fact. If we don’t take care those historical remains and ignore
them, who will take care of them? There are several ways to take care
of the buildings so that they can exist with their originality. They are: 1. Be responsible in renovating old buildings If we want to renovate an old building, the renovation that we do should not decrease their originality. For example, when the headmaster of 3 State High School of Yogyakarta wanted to change the floor in his school, he had to change that floor with precise floor tiles so that the condition of the building is still good, it still can stand firmly, and its originality is not destroyed. 2. The government and citizens must pay more attention to historical remains like old buildings The government and |
citizens
are important subjects in protecting the originality of old buildings
in Yogyakarta. The government for example, must make an explicit rule
about protection of old buildings. The realization of the rule must be
appropriate to the law and there must be no bargaining. Every renovation
and addition of rooms of old buildings must be done with permission and
be controlled by the government. Citizens also must keep the cleanliness
of the buildings so that the buildings can be still firm. Old buildings
must be protected from molds, fungus, and white ants which can make the
buildings be brittle. We have to realize that we must take care of all old buildings in our country. Remember that old buildings are one of civilization that built our life now. So, it’s not true if we remodel old buildings as adaption of modernization, but modernization has to be done carefully so that it won't crush their historical value, beauty, and uniqueness. |
