Pet Center for Cats and Dogs with a Metaphorical Architecture Approach

Abstract

Pets are a part of nature that can be used as friends who can be familiar and responsive in real life. In Indonesia, raising animals has become an increasingly prevalent trend. However, behind the rise of this trend, in the city of Medan, facilities for pets are still very minimal, so facilities are needed that accommodate activities related to pets combined in one place. The purpose of this research is to design a Pet Center for dogs and cats with a metaphorical architectural approach which is a place that provides all kinds of things related to pets starting from animal equipment and needs, animal care and animal health. With the design of this Pet Center, it is hoped that pet owners and their pets can recreation, socialize, be educated, carry out care and health and community.
