Abstract
As a form of home, palaces (puris) in Bali possess unique architectural qualities, representing history in the function of a specific form of the building. These palaces are among the largest forms of architectural expression and are highly respected for their aesthetic and decorative elements. Historically, this form of domestic accommodation, specific to members of monarchic families and their associates, now finds themselves struggling to meet the cost of routine maintenance. On this basis, Bali’s reputation as the major center for tourism development in Indonesia encourages puri to make necessary adaptations. Thus in consequence, on the one hand, income is generated to support the survival of palaces. On the other, it modifies both the spatial and the architectural formations of puri. This paper suggests a proposition that the puri must not accommodate and adapt to global changes without conserving its architectural legacies at once. The paper presents variations of the architectural characters in specific puris and the changes that take place to respond to tourism.
