Constructing the Phylomemetic Tree Case of Study: Indonesian Tradition-Inspired Buildings

incorporated in the memeplexes while the more data included in construction the phylomemetic
tree based on different ethnicity whose different traditional house designs are also of future interest
for further research.

4. Closing Remarks

We have discussed things related to the phylomemetic trees related to the diverse nature of
Indonesian culture. The traditional and cultural heritages can be seen its commonality while focusing
on its differences one another. A thing that is important for preserving and realizing the value of the
diversity in Indonesia. After revisiting some important highlights on constructing the diagrammatic
view of the features in the artifacts we do some works for the phylomemetic tree of tradition-
inspired buildings representing the provinces in Indonesia.

From the phylomemetic tree of the Indonesian houses, we can see some interesting features related
to the nature of the houses in Indonesia. The highly clustered buildings in Java (West Java,
Jogjakarta, Central Java, East Java, and Bali) seems to be closely related relative to those from other
places. This was probably related to a lot of anthropological findings and hypotheses on the origin of
Indonesian and Malay ancestors. The phylomemetic tree can be used to enrich those findings as well
as the discussions about the chosen features to be put into account for the memeplexes.

Regarding to the works on architectural designs some enhancements are waiting to be conducted
for further works while from the general discussion about the phylomemetic tree brought us for
wide aspects with which we can utilize to explain a lot of issues on human culture evolution in
general and the importance of its diversity. This is left as an interesting future development and
research.
