Perancangan Pusat Budaya Sumatera Utara di Kota Medan dengan Pendekatan Arsitektur Perilaku

Abstract

The design of a cultural center is needed to establish a place that can become a center for seeking information and education in order to increase the public's insight and exposure to the culture of their respective regions. In North Sumatra, there are many interesting cultures and must be preserved by the community, especially the younger generation. As a cultural center, spatial planning and circulation must uphold the relation between the environment and human behavior of the people who will visit. The cultural center that uses an architectural approach to behavior will not only become an educational center, but also a safe and comfortable place for people to learn about the culture of North Sumatra. The behavioral architectural approach in this case plays a role in facilitating visitor navigation in and around the building, as well as maximizing space for social interactions, to be able to create a strong culture community. In achieving harmony between the design of a cultural center with a behavioral approach, the stages of planning, literature study, comparative study, design analysis, design concept and final design are carried out. This design is expected to increase public interest and knowledge of the culture of North Sumatra and create a comfortable and enjoyable learning and socialization atmosphere.
