摘要:The story of the existence of prehistoric relics in the hilly area of Gunung Padang Site,Cianjur Regency,has placed the area as authentic archaeological evidence. This site can also be regarded as an archeological space, a space of knowledge about the past and the reconstruction of the culture of its people at that time. This study participates to capture the important values of the site’s relics,as well as discuss the visual elements that can present archeological space through visualization of signifier stones in photo books. The combination research method used in this study collected survey data to find out the views of designers about the potential to visualize the Gunung Padang Site area as an archeological space in a photo book. This quantitative data then becomes the basis of qualitative discussion about the presentation of archeological space by using a visual communication semiotic approach to read image as signs and the meaning of image,to produce visualizations of readable and carrying messages. This study presents the visualization of signifier stones,namely Kujang Stone,Maung or Tiger’s footprint Stone,Human Foot Stones,Gamelan Stone,Gendong Stone,and Throne Stones,which build imagination about human cultural activities in the past. The discussion of reading signs and meaning of stones visualization refers to the stages of selection,framing,significance and evaluation, differentiation and connection. The results of this study are expected to inspire the community to participate in respecting and preserving Indonesian archaeological wealth. The discussion of archeological space through visualization of signifier stones in photo books can also be a scientific reference in the field of photography and the science of visual communication design.
