Bubungan Tinggi
Bubungan Tinggi is a traditional architectural style found in Minangkabau culture, primarily in West Sumatra, Indonesia. Characterized by its distinctive high, curved roofs resembling buffalo horns, this design reflects the region's cultural values and connection to nature. The structure is often made from wood and features intricate carvings that showcase local craftsmanship.
The term "Bubungan Tinggi" translates to "high roof," emphasizing the building's elevation and unique silhouette. These houses serve not only as residences but also as symbols of social status and community identity within Minangkabau society, which is matrilineal and places importance on family lineage.
