Abstract

The purpose of this research was to explore Minangkabau culture as one of the great cultures in the archipelago. The main basis of Minangkabau’s social system is custom and religion. This is seen in the Minangkabau society’s life philosophy “Adat Basandi Syara’, Syara’ basandi Istanbul" (custom built upon sharia; sharia built upon Al-Qur'an). Before Islam came to the land of the Minangkabau, its community system is based on "Adat basandi Mufakat, mufakat basandi Alua Patuik" (discussion). Rumah Gadang that functions as a residential facility is one of the Minangkabau culture buildings, which is an embodiment of values, customs, and desires of the community (folk tradition). The purpose of this research is to determine the depth extent of the "Adat Basandi Syara ', syara'basandi kitabullah" application in Rumah Gadang’s interior design. The qualitative descriptive is used as research method. The review concludes that the religious rule inclusion in traditional order verified the existence of social formation in Minangkabau society culture. The interior design of Rumah Gadang shows the existence of the unity between the customs and the religion. The findings conclude that the inclusion of religious rules in adat order, proves the social formation in the culture of the Minangkabau society.
