Abstract

This paper presents the architectural design of a modern cinema in Bukittinggi using a neo-vernacular approach. The project responds to the absence of modern cinemas in the city, despite strong public interest in film culture. Inspired by the traditional Minangkabau architecture, the design incorporates local elements such as the gonjong roof and traditional ornamentation reinterpreted through modern materials and spatial needs. The cinema is envisioned as both a cultural landmark and entertainment facility that fosters social connection and enhances local identity. By blending tradition with innovation, the project aims to support community development, promote cultural continuity, and provide accessible cinematic experiences without requiring residents to travel to Padang, the only city in West Sumatera with modern cinemas.
