| dc.description.abstract | Medan City is one of the historical cities in Indonesia that was once colonized by
the Dutch, one of the areas controlled by the Dutch was the Kesawan area. Many
colonial buildings in Kesawan must be preserved. One of them is the Warenhuis
building which is currently abandoned. Indonesia has a wealth of diverse arts and
culture, such as painting, dance, sculpture, sculpture, and others. The city of Medan
itself is very attached to a variety of arts and culture. To introduce and showcase
the wealth of art in the city of Medan to the public and newcomers, an art center is
needed. The purpose of designing this arts center is to provide space for the
community to study and demonstrate the arts, as well as to preserve cultural
heritage buildings as regional identities. The method used in designing the
Warenhuis building is EBD (evidence-based design). EBD is carried out by
comparing existing data and field design practices, then being analyzed again to
collect scientific evidence which is then used in the design. The art center that will
be designed focuses on performance art, namely music, dance, and theater. | en_US |
