Perancangan Pusat Komunitas dan Kegiatan Remaja dengan Pendekatan Arsitektur Tropis di Kota Medan

Abstract

Medan City is one of the major cities in Indonesia that has a significant number of teenagers. Therefore, a facility is needed to accommodate teenage activities that can develop their potential and prevent negative activities. The Youth Community and Activity Center is designed to provide a comfortable and quality environment for teenagers to develop their talents and potential. To support this design, primary and secondary data were obtained through field surveys, direct observation of the object being studied, existing documentation, literature studies, and benchmarking with similar research objects. In this design, a tropical architecture approach is applied as a solution to overcome the climate problems in Medan City. The building is designed with voids, open roofs, and large windows to ensure air flow and sunlight enter the building. Natural materials such as wood, brick, and bamboo, as well as water elements, are used to create coolness and comfort for teenagers. The facilities provided include workspaces, various activity rooms, playrooms, and study rooms, aimed at supporting teenage activities. In addition, positive programs such as courses, training, and competitions are available to improve skills and develop teenagers. It is expected that with the facilities and programs provided, this design can shape a quality and responsible younger generation.
