ART CENTER : Designing of Art Center with Biophilic Architecture Approach in Medan City

Abstract

Art Center is a facility that functions as an art education media that acts as a special place for focused arts-related activities and development. An educational facility designed to introduce, preserve, and develop arts and culture in the community. Through various activities such as exhibitions, performances, and other forms of artistic expression, this place becomes a strategic space to encourage art appreciation while fostering creativity and public participation in an open and inspiring atmosphere. The biophilic architectural approach that integrates natural elements such as natural lighting, vegetation, and water elements is designed to play a role in stimulating creativity, creating a refreshing atmosphere, and encouraging healthy and inspiring social interactions. This approach also aims to strengthen the relationship between humans and nature, which is in line with the purpose of the Art Center as a place for arts and cultural education.
