  The self-similarity of Indonesian Borobudur Temple is observed through the
dimensionality of stupa that is hypothetically closely related to whole
architectural body. Fractal dimension is calculated by using the cube counting
method and found that the dimension is 2.325, which is laid between the
two-dimensional plane and three dimensional space. The applied fractal geometry
and self-similarity of the building is emerged as the building process
implement the metric rules, since there is no universal metric standard known
in ancient traditional Javanese culture thus the architecture is not based on
final master plan. The paper also proposes how the hypothetical algorithmic
architecture might be applied computationally in order to see some experimental
generations of similar building. The paper ends with some conjectures for
further challenge and insights related to fractal geometry in Javanese
traditional cultural heritages.
