Timor Island situates in the southeast end of Southeast Asia. The island accommodates many ethnic groups, which produce many diverse house types. As visiting East Timor in 2012, we found a type of 'Pair-House' widely spread over the island. Uma Nulik, holy house, containing the ancestry soul, fireplace and elder's bed, and Uma Tidor, house for sleep, containing living, sleeping and working space, compose the Pair-House. In 2014, this research made a field survey in Timor Island and 61 house cases were measured, in which 27 cases were drawn into 3D construction models later. The research has revealed conclusions as follows: 1. There are four composition types of Uma Lulik and Uma Tidor. 2. Uma Tidors in every ethnic group were found consistency but with variations. 3. Uma Luliks were different in every ethnic group and can be induced into sixspatial basic forms. 4. Different ethnic groups may adopt a similar type of Uma Lulik. 5. Single ethnic group has adopted several different Uma Lulik types, shared with other ethnic groups. 6. Timor Island is the encounter region between Austronesian language groups and Papua language groups. Ethnic groups from the two language groups have their tendencies in adopting spatial basic forms, meanwhile, some elements of house types were shared or transported within different ethnic groups. |
