Architectural Characteristics 4 Major Styles of Architecture in Indonesia 1) Traditional Known as the Rumah Adat, these homes varied across re- gions and cultures but also had certain similarities. They were made of fibre, bamboo and timbre and had sloping roofs. Built to adapt to Indonesia's hot and wet climate, these houses were constructed on stilts, which protect- ed goods from moisture and reduced the risk of wa- ter-borne diseases.
