RE: Balinese Architecture

in Architecture+Design2 years ago

Okay, I see. It must be a wonderful feeling to enjoy the grand often luxurious Balinese designs with golden accents as compared to the more traditional elements of only wood. These types of extraordinary aesthetics would give the impression of wealth, and power, showing an elite social class for families involved in Balinese architecture.

Not to mention, everyday, they give offerings nearby their structure to give blessing into the house.

Wow! It looks like they also treat their built environments like living entities, right? This reminds me of the phenomenon called "Animism", referring to the belief that material objects, places, and mundane creatures all possess spiritual characteristics. 😊
