Kajang Lako, Jambi culture, traditional architecture, technology system, local wisdomAbstract
This study aims to describe how Kajang Lako reflects cultural elements within the system of equipment and technology and to reveal the symbolic meanings embodied in its architectural components. The research employs a qualitative descriptive method with an ethnographic approach through literature review and cultural observation. The findings show that Kajang Lako combines traditional construction technology, environmental wisdom, and local symbolism. Every part of the house, from its pillars to its carvings, reflects harmony between humans, nature, and God. Thus, Kajang Lako is not merely a dwelling but also a manifestation of the Jambi people’s cultural identity.
