The design of the Youth Activity Center is designed to provide a comfortable and qualified environment for teenagers to improve their passion and skills. Regarding the steps in this design method, it begins with the acquisition of primary data and secondary ·data through an on-site survey, observation of the object being researched, existing documentations, literature studies, as well as comparative studies with a similar research object and then analyzed to create a concept that produces a product in the format of design drawings. In this design, the Green Building approach was implemented to use eco-friendly architecture and minimize the damage of nature and the surrounding environment which refers to several variables that are found at GBCI (Green Building Council Indonesia) such as Appropriate Land Use, Energy Efficiency and Conservation, Water Conservation, Air Quality & Indoor Air Comfort, and Building Environmental Management which are also expected to minimize the problems on the surrounding environment and provide a positive effect on the area that will be designed. | en_US |
