Abstract

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play an important role in supporting local economic growth; however, their development still requires training facilities that can improve production skills, managerial capacity, and business competitiveness. This study aims to design an MSME Business Training Center in Makassar City as a facility for developing new entrepreneurs, particularly in the craft, culinary, and fashion sectors. This study applies a descriptive-qualitative method through a literature review, a previous study, and field observation at the design site in Tanjung Merdeka Subdistrict, Tamalate District, Makassar City. The collected data were analyzed and synthesized into a design concept covering site selection, form transformation, site plan, circulation, parking area, building appearance, and interior arrangement. The design results show that the selected site is located in the Integrated Global Business Area and has good accessibility. A breakwater inspires the building form concept as a contextual response to Makassar’s coastal character. The application of sustainable architecture is reflected in land-use efficiency, green open-space design, natural lighting, ventilation, and circulation systems that support user comfort. Therefore, this design is expected to serve as a functional, contextual, and environmentally responsive MSME training facility

Abstract

Drug abuse in Indonesia, particularly in Gowa Regency, poses serious risks to physical and psychological health, highlighting the need for effective rehabilitation facilities. This study aims to evaluate the implementation of the Therapeutic Community concept in the design of a Drug Rehabilitation Center, integrating architectural elements such as Double-Skin Façades and skylights to create an environment that supports patient recovery. The research employs a descriptive and comparative approach, analyzing architectural elements applied in a case study and comparing findings with relevant literature. Results indicate that double-skin façades with various materials, including Aluminium Composite Panel, wood, and GRC, effectively regulate temperature, lighting, and acoustics. Installing horizontal skylight windows enhances natural lighting, creating bright, comfortable spaces that support patients’ psychological well-being. The integration of these design elements strengthens social interaction and community activities in line with the Therapeutic Community principles, while also improving energy efficiency and building aesthetics. The study concludes that strategic integration of architectural elements can create functional, safe, and sustainable rehabilitation facilities, serving as a model for the development of similar centers in Indonesia

Abstract

Pinrang Regency has significant potential in the fisheries sector, particularly in pond aquaculture and marine products. However, this potential requires well-organized, healthy, and sustainable trading facilities. Fish trading activities contribute to local economic growth, but they may also create environmental, sanitation, circulation, and user-comfort problems if not properly planned. This study aims to design a Fish Trading Center in Pinrang Regency using a biophilic architectural approach to create a functional, comfortable, and environmentally responsive trading space. The method used is a descriptive-qualitative design method through literature studies, precedent studies, field surveys, site analysis, space requirement analysis, user activity analysis, and design concept synthesis. The design results show that the application of biophilic architecture is reflected in site planning that considers accessibility, separated entrance and exit circulation, pedestrian paths, parking areas, green open spaces, and the arrangement of main and supporting building masses. The biophilic concept is also applied through natural lighting, natural ventilation, vegetation, open spaces, natural materials, and visual connections between indoor spaces, outdoor spaces, and the surrounding environment. Therefore, this design is expected to support fish trading activities, improve user comfort, and strengthen the sustainable development of the fisheries sector in Pinrang Regency.

Abstract

Makassar possesses significant Islamic historical heritage; however, its museums have not fully represented local culture and identity, as evidenced by declining visitor numbers and limited educational facilities. This study aims to design the Islamic History Museum using a Bugis-Makassar vernacular architectural approach, integrating traditional cultural values, local symbolism, and sustainability principles. A qualitative, descriptive method was employed, including interviews with local leaders and community members, field observations of traditional architecture and environmental conditions, and a literature review on vernacular architectural principles and sustainable building design. Data were analysed through triangulation to develop a contextual, adaptive, and environmentally responsive design concept, which was then visualised through initial sketches and three-dimensional modelling. The results indicate that applying vernacular architecture enables the museum to reflect Bugis-Makassar cultural identity through building form, site orientation, the use of local materials, natural ventilation and lighting, and traditional ornamentation. This approach produces a building that is aesthetically pleasing, functional, energy-efficient, and supportive of social interaction and cultural activities. Consequently, the museum functions not only as a repository of historical artefacts but also as an interactive, educational public space that adapts to modern needs while upholding sustainability principles.

Abstract

Enrekang Regency has a strong public interest in sports; however, the availability of representative sports facilities and infrastructure remains limited. This condition indicates the need for a Sport Center as an integrated facility that can accommodate sports, recreation, and social interaction activities. This study aims to design a Sport Center in Enrekang Regency using the High Technology Architecture approach to create a functional, modern sports facility with a strong visual character. The method used in this study is a descriptive, qualitative, architectural design approach, carried out through site surveys, literature and precedent studies, and interviews with relevant stakeholders. The collected data were analyzed to formulate a design concept based on user needs, site conditions, sports facility standards, and the principles of High Technology Architecture. The design results show that the application of the high-tech concept is evident in the use of smart glass, solar panels, lightweight space-frame structures, and building forms that emphasize transparency, modernity, and a futuristic image. In addition to the main building, the design includes supporting facilities such as a lobby, food court, retail shop, communal space, an outdoor sports field, and a parking area. Therefore, the proposed Sport Center is expected to become a representative sports facility that supports community activities and serves as a new architectural landmark in Enrekang Regency.

Abstract

Polewali Mandar Regency has strong historical and cultural values, one of which is reflected in the Galung Lombok tragedy as an important part of the collective memory of the Mandar community. However, these historical values have not yet been fully incorporated into an educational facility that can visually and emotionally convey the meanings of struggle, loss, and resilience. This study aims to design the Galung Lombok Museum in Polewali Mandar Regency using a metaphorical architectural approach as a medium for historical preservation and the strengthening of local cultural identity. The method used is a descriptive qualitative method, with data collected through literature reviews, field surveys, interviews, and previous studies. The data were analyzed to formulate a design concept that aligns with the historical values of the Galung Lombok and Mandar cultures. The design results show that the metaphorical architectural approach is applied through building form, façade design, spatial layout, and supporting elements. The building form represents the journey of history, the crack symbolizes collective wounds, and the tip of the Sandeq boat inspires the Lamba’na façade as a symbol of maritime identity and struggle. In contrast, the Uai façade symbolizes the flow of a river, representing time continuity, life, and healing. Thus, the Galung Lombok Museum is expected to become a space for education and reflection, as well as a cultural icon that preserves the historical memory of the Mandar community.

Abstract

North Luwu Regency has significant potential in the fisheries sector, supported by its coastal area facing Bone Bay and the increasing trend of fishery production over the years. However, the lack of an adequate Fish Auction Center has led to suboptimal fish landing, auction, distribution, and marketing activities. This design aims to develop a Fish Auction Center in North Luwu Regency that is functional, comfortable, energy-efficient, and responsive to the tropical coastal climate through the application of bioclimatic architecture. The method used is a descriptive, qualitative approach with an architectural design focus, conducted through literature reviews, field surveys, site analysis, and local climate analysis. The collected data were analyzed to formulate design strategies that correspond to the needs of coastal community activities and the principles of bioclimatic architecture. The design results show that integrating natural ventilation, vegetation, rainwater management, natural lighting, and selecting materials such as laminated wood, granite tile, and reflective roofing can support thermal comfort, energy efficiency, and building sustainability. Therefore, the proposed Fish Auction Center is expected to serve as a fisheries facility that supports fishermen's economic activities while providing a building that is adaptable to the coastal environment.
