Abstract

Masjid lama gang Bengkok is one of the historical heritage sites in Medan City, reflecting the integration of Malay and Chinese cultures within an Islamic context. Built around 1874 with the support of Tjong A Fie, a prominent Chinese figure during the Deli Sultanate era, the mosque features traditional Malay architectural styles with Chinese influences visible in its ornamentation and structural elements. Currently, the mosque’s physical condition is relatively well-preserved, but it faces environmental pressures from urban development and a lack of adequate historical interpretation systems. This study aims to identify the historical, architectural, and social values embodied in the mosque and to develop contextual preservation strategies. The research employs a qualitative approach through observation, literature review, and community interviews. The findings recommend community-based preservation, minor restoration, and the enhancement of historical narratives within public spaces.

Abstract

The Kesawan Corridor in Medan City is a historic district lined with colonial-era buildings of high architectural and historical value. However, many of these structures have experienced physical deterioration and functional obsolescence due to changing urban dynamics and lack of proper conservation. This research aims to assess the feasibility of adaptive reuse as a sustainable preservation strategy for historic buildings in this area. A qualitative case study approach was employed, including visual observation, in-depth interviews, and literature review. The potential buildings examined include the AVROS Building, London Sumatra Building, the Old Bank Indonesia, the former Warenhuis, and Tjong A Fie Mansion as a benchmark of successful conservation. The findings reveal that most of these buildings have high potential for new uses—commercial, educational, or cultural—if approached with context-sensitive and historically respectful strategies. Adaptive reuse presents a viable path for urban heritage revitalization in Medan
