Since deities and spirits were supposed to taste offerings on the spot, it was a task of architecture to attract them and to guide them into houses where offerings were presented. Domenig quotes numerous sources to show that certain material elements of the house were viewed as spirit attractors, spirit ladders or spirit pathways. Various ‘exotic’ features of Indonesian vernacular architecture thus become understandable as relics from times when architecture was still responding to indigenous religions practised in the archipelago.Verhandelingen van het Koninklijk Instituut voor Taal-, Land- en Volkenkunde294.ArchitectureExhibitionsReligionsCase studiesElectronic books.ArchitectureReligions720.740531Domenig Gaudenz936758MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910453595803321Religion and architecture in premodern indonesia2109896UNINA
