Abstract

Muna Regency holds considerable potential in the cultural and creative economy sectors; however, this potential is not yet supported by adequate infrastructure. The design of the Muna Creative Center represents a strategic step toward providing a dedicated facility for creative communities and innovative young people. The application of contemporary architecture combined with local cultural elements can enhance the building’s attractiveness and functionality through flexible spatial configurations. The design process was conducted through literature studies, field observations, user-needs analysis, and evaluations of contemporary architectural principles. The design visualization incorporates local elements, including woven textile motifs, traditional kite geometry, and prehistoric pictographs from Liang Kabori Cave, which are applied harmoniously to the secondary skin to strengthen the building’s contemporary architectural expression. The Muna Creative Center is intended not only as a venue for creative activities but also as a new landmark that represents architectural development while maintaining respect for the vernacular identity of Muna Regency.

Abstract

The increasing number of older adults in Indonesia, particularly in Kolaka Regency, has created a growing need for facilities that promote health, well-being, and social participation. This study aims to design an Elderly School as a non-formal educational facility using a biophilic architectural approach. The design process employed a qualitative method through literature reviews, site analysis, and the application of biophilic design principles. The proposed design integrates natural elements to create a comfortable and supportive learning environment for older adults. Biophilic principles are applied through the use of natural lighting, natural ventilation, green open spaces, and visual connections with vegetation. The building layout is arranged to improve environmental comfort while considering accessibility, safety, and the physical characteristics of older users. Vegetation is also utilized to enhance the microclimate and strengthen the relationship between users and nature. The design results indicate that the application of biophilic architecture can contribute to the creation of a healthy, inclusive, and user-oriented educational environment. The proposed facility is expected to improve the quality of life of older adults and support the development of SMART elderly (Healthy, Independent, Active, Productive, and Dignified) communities.
