The 21st century architecture is faced with three major issues: nature, technology and humanity. Java architecture which derived from the philosophy of Java was known by its local wisdom. However, it is not known whether the wisdom is related with the issues of the 21st century or not. For that conducted the study which obtains the position of Java’s wisdom when viewed from the three issues: the handling of nature, technology and humanity in architecture. The data was derived from literatures and field study. The method used is criticism and logical argumentation. The final result is the suitability and unsuitability of Java’s wisdom with the issue of the 21st century. Java’s wisdom actually suits the three issues because they already had their own wisdom which able to handle these issues, but not all writes on literatures.
