My house palace. This phrase could describe what a human being needs a comfortable home, not rare even become a symbol of pride or prestige for their owners.

In this edition, we will discuss one of the style of buildings that use the pillars as architectural ornaments. Pilar, as we know, is that there are poles on the building. These poles can function as a column supporting a weight of the building, can also function as an ornament.

In recent years, along with the development mode and the ability of the public economy, many residents who use the pillars as architectural ornaments of the house.

“The pillars of this, if done with good taste, certainly gives the impression of majestic and luxury homes. Moreover, if supported with selected materials,” said Monika Setiawan, a lecturer in architecture Tarumanegara University, Jakarta.

Generally made of concrete pillars. In addition to concrete, could also use a layer of ceramic, wood, metal, or natural stone. If you want to impress more “elegant”, can use marble as upholstery materials. Marble pillars, usually used for interior decoration of the house.

While the pillars are placed outside the home can be divided into two major lines. There are only placed in the main door as a point of interest, as well as a marker of the main entrance making it easier for people to find the entrance.

“There are also pillars placed around the building or part of the house with certain distances. The pillars adds to the greatness of a house,” said Monika.

Use of the pillars were often associated with Greek and Roman culture. It’s good when we see the triumph of the Greeks and Romans long ago.

The buildings used as temples to worship their gods filled with pillars. Each side is surrounded by pillars, which in addition to functioning as a supporting structure of the building, also the element of beauty. From this aspect, both presumably alluded to the Greek community about science is so advanced in the pillar problem since thousands of years ago.

They can make a magnificent building without technology making concrete, steel reinforcement, and so forth. All is only made of stone arranged in overlapping. Understanding and a high sense of the Greek community to the problem of the pillars is understandable because they loved the beauty of form.

Bottom of the pile is made larger than the top. That way, only more powerful and robust to stand up, also serves as a correction to the optical element.

“Generally, the pillars that can be divided into three types, namely Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian. At first, Doric columns of the first type is created. Furthermore, in line with the progress of human civilization, emerged Ionic and Corinthian columns of which are full of carving, “said Monika.

Along with the development of Greek culture, Ionic pillars also growing. They added at the bottom of the pillar base. Forms of care of a little pile up and decorated in a groove. Chapter section (head pillar) shaped rolls that lead down like a snail’s house. In Jakarta, the pillars of this type can be found on Pancasila Building and Art Building.

Doric pillar shape and a solid short. Touching the floor directly underneath, without the base. Chapter section simple and unadorned. Nothing elaborate carvings. We can see the pillars of this type in the Arts Hall at Kota, Jakarta.

“Then the culture growing again. Now they have developed a form of Corinthian which is higher than the ionic basis. Kapitelnya filled with elaborate decoration. We can see examples of species with Corinthian pillars in building the Merdeka Palace, Jakarta,” said Monika.

When once the pillars are used to temples or palaces, in line with the changing times, its use has changed. Pillars for commercial buildings, and even private homes, has been taken for granted. Distance or scale adjusted for a large pole building. Throughout the pillars were proportional, a magnificent building forms must be created.

POOL or pond fish at home can be a mini family holiday destination. Thus, aesthetics should not be ignored.
Swimming pools and fish ponds are not only useful as a place to swim and enjoy the lively movement of water fauna in it. In the pond and surrounding landscape can be an attraction at the touch of a beautiful ornament.

For additional functions for this one, swimming just need to “polished” a bit in order to raise its aesthetic value. With a touch of attractive and appropriate, view the pond and its surroundings can be used as the location of therapy to escape and minds of saturation.

One of the aesthetic elements that can be added in the swimming pool is a statue. “Swimming and resounds statue because the statue is an ornament to fill the pond itself,” said landscape architect from Trisakti University, Rustam Hakim.

Yes, the statue that was originally created as a spiritualized form of that particular religion, gradually slow to develop as objects of high artistic merit. Aesthetic element of the sculpture also seemed to flow into the surrounding environment, giving the impression of more exotic.

For some people, maybe a statue is only viewed as a creative expression that produces three-dimensional shapes. The statues are objects of art making is quite complicated and berestetika. On the Island of the Gods, god statue dominates the purpose, among others, to maintain the garden and home. Apart from all that, the statue does have high artistic value when presented as a decorative element on a house, garden, or pool.

“The water reflects the statue itself with shadows visible in water pond, giving the impression more attractive,” added Rustam.

To get an impression attractive, pool water must be dynamic. To get the dynamic effects, use a pump that serves to give a wavy effect in the water. In addition, the statue must be placed in strategic places so that the visual can be seen from all directions.

Member of Indonesian Institute of Landscape Architects (IALI) Nirwono Yoga adds, there must be an adjustment between the architectural forms of the pond with a statue. “In addition, should be adjusted to the taste and decency with the occupants of other elements, so that the aesthetic impression material was obtained. So also for the type and size of the statue, should be adjusted to the size, shape of pool, and ornamental ponds,” he explained.

For certain circles, swimming with the addition of more special and interesting sculptures. Privileged was reflected in one of the world’s major tourist attractions in Italy that serves as a pond with a statue of attraction.

Now, with appropriate decorations, swimming in your home will provide cool shades wrapped aesthetic value.
