Masjid Tuha Ulee Kareng Banda Aceh berusia 200 tahun telah ditetapkan sebagai cagar budaya. Kondisi eksisting bangunan mengalami kerusakan sehingga memerlukan konservasi untuk menjaga nilai historis, filosofis, dan identitas arsitektur lokal. Penelitian ini penting dilakukan untuk mendukung SDGs 11.4 melalui pelestarian Masjid Tuha Ulee Kareng, menanggapi perubahan dan kerusakan bangunan, ancaman hilangnya nilai historis dan identitas budaya, serta menurunnya pemahaman masyarakat terhadap warisan budaya lokal. Penelitian bertujuan untuk (1) mengidentifikasi karakteristik dan makna simbolik elemen arsitektur masjid, (2) mengevaluasi kesesuaian intervensi konservasi, serta (3) merumuskan strategi konservasi yang kontekstual dan berkelanjutan. Metode yang digunakan: metode kualitatif deskriptif-analitis dengan pendekatan semiotika serta prinsip konservasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan karakteristik arsitektur berupa atap tumpang, umpak dan kolom, material kayu, sistem sambungan tradisional, orientasi ruang terhadap mihrab, ornamen, dan denah persegi bangunan yang merepresentasikan nilai spiritual Islam, identitas budaya Aceh, serta respon terhadap iklim tropis. Evaluasi kondisi eksisting terdapat perubahan dan kerusakan, seperti perubahan material atap dan lantai, penimbunan umpak, kerusakan material kayu, ketidakterbacaan ornamen, penambahan ruang dan elemen bangunan.

The 200-year-old Tuha Ulee Kareng Mosque in Banda Aceh has been designated as a cultural heritage building. The existing condition of the building has deteriorated, requiring conservation efforts to preserve its historical, philosophical, and local architectural identity values. This research is important to support SDGs 11.4 through the preservation of the Tuha Ulee Kareng Mosque, addressing building alterations and deterioration, threats to the loss of historical and cultural identity values, and the declining public understanding of local cultural heritage. The study aims to (1) identify the characteristics and symbolic meanings of the mosque’s architectural elements, (2) evaluate the suitability of conservation interventions, and (3) formulate contextual and sustainable conservation strategies. The method used is a descriptive-analytical qualitative method with a semiotic approach and conservation principles. The results show architectural characteristics in the form of tiered roofs, base stones and columns, wooden materials, traditional joint systems, spatial orientation toward the mihrab, ornaments, and a square floor plan representing Islamic spiritual values, Acehnese cultural identity, and responses to the tropical climate. The evaluation of the existing condition indicates alterations and deterioration, including changes to roof and floor materials, burial of base stones, damage to wooden materials, reduced readability of ornaments, and the addition of spaces and building elements. The proposed conservation strategies include rehabilitation of the base stone structure and traditional joint systems, adaptation of roof and floor materials as well as spatial development, and preservation and restoration of wooden materials and wooden lattice elements.
