dc.description.abstract | The design of the UMKM Square Collaboration Building at the University of North
Sumatra aims to create a collaborative environment and promotion for UMKM
(Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises) in North Sumatra. This project is intended
to facilitate the development of UMKM and enhance interaction among UMKM
stakeholders, students, lecturers, and the community. An analysis of space and
facility needs is conducted to meet the requirements of UMKM in exhibitions,
training, business meetings, promotions, and sales. The design concept integrates
open and closed spaces to support collaboration and interaction among
stakeholders. Design methods include literature studies, field surveys, space
analysis, and the application of environmentally friendly and inclusive
architectural principles. The result is a flexible, environmentally friendly building
design that considers user accessibility. The hope is that the UMKM Square
Collaboration Building at USU will become a center for innovation and UMKM
growth in North Sumatra and strengthen collaborative relationships between
educational institutions, UMKM players, and the community. | en_US |
