This ‘unfamiliar’ concept refers to the classical theory that place considerable importance on the building as object, reflecting an interest in it as valuable entity’.

Recently the shifting of conservation theory from the classical theory that centred around the object to the inclusive contemporary theory which centre on the subject. In line with the contemporary theory, the case of the Memayu and the Ganti Sirap tradition in Ki Buyut Trusmi complex in Cirebon is discussed that tries to reconstruct the notion of conservation that rooted from the long traditions of Asia society that emphasize the spiritual meanings of the people reflecting through the object and the tradition of fabric renewal of the perishable structure.
