Sumatera Utara Aviation Museum with a Metaphor Approach

Abstract

Indonesia has a long history in aviation and space, even before independence, the means to appreciate it are still not optimal. Creating an optimal space to appreciate Indonesia's aviation and space history will help foster a sense of patriotism and understanding of Indonesia's achievements in the aviation sector. This study uses a descriptive data collection method, which involves collecting, reviewing, and analyzing written sources or literature relevant to the report's topic. Literature studies compare several buildings to understand the museum's needs in-depth. This design applies metaphorical architecture by abstracting the solid shape of the aircraft seen from the shape of the building mass which is arranged with a gridshell structural system and the impression formed from various curved line elements.
