Balinese royal palaces' forms illustrate the evolving nature of the kingdom's political control and the strategies used by its rulers to foster the stability of its territory. Although every kingdom has opportunities to demonstrate its authority through architecture and layout, architectural hierarchy is presented from the form of architectural productions, including the traditional gate called kori agung among palaces called puris, especially the architectural form in palaces of Gianyar. This phenomenon has risen to the questions on how far the authority power influences the architectural form. Are there any other elements that influence the architectural form design in Gianyar? Drawing from seventeenththrough twentieth-century photographs, correspondences and collected oral traditions, this paper explores the oral traditions and power relationships among the kingdoms that influence the layout and form of the palace's architectural production called puri in Gianyar Bali. This paper found that the phrase "memada-mada" has influenced the architecture of palaces in Gianyar, especially the kori agung. The term refers to attempting to avoid performing the same or greater acts as those with a higher status.

Architectural inspection techniques and graphical analysis are used in the analytical method, with architectural drawings and forms serving as the primary instruments.

This study focuses on the concept of pedestrian path arrangement in terms of physical and non-physical conditions as well as user behavior. The research was conducted in commercial areas on Jalan Ahmad Yani and Diponegoro in Singaraja City, based on the phenomenon of pedestrian paths that are currently experiencing a change of function. The research method used is a qualitative method using place-centered mapping techniques for data collection. The place-centered mapping technique is used for mapping the location of activities / pedestrian paths and user sketches in using pedestrian paths which results in the concept of structuring pedestrian paths. The results of this study indicate that the current pedestrian paths in Singaraja City are not in accordance with the behavior of its users due to physical conditions and the change in the function of the pedestrian paths by parking, trading and displaying merchandise. So the concept of structuring the comfort of the pedestrian path that is produced is in the form of a pedestrian lane that should not be obstructed by behavioral activities or other supporting facilities, the need to provide an on-street parking area, the need for attention in terms of the pavement material used on the pedestrian path to comply with standards and the need for additional leveling. as well as pedestrian pathway dividers.

Architectural productions have become important historical records because they reveal the sociocultural, economic, and political conditions that existed when they were built. Its elaboration can be viewed as a relationship between architectural production, culture and cultural tourism, including Buleleng's long history of political contestation and cultural change, through its symbolic function, built forms, and connections to social changes in daily life. This region of northern Bali was important in Bali during the reign of the kingdom of Buleleng. Buleleng, a region known for its palaces known as puri or temples, has a wide range of architectural styles. In order to investigate these characteristics, this paper investigates architectural works in Buleleng and analyzes their historical architectural production. The historical context and development must be examined to investigate the diversity and character of architectural styles under the Buleleng region's political authority and sociocultural developments. This diversity is one of the potential future cultural tourism attractions.
