Medan Art Creative Center in Medan City with a Neo- Vernacular Approach

Medan City is the 3rd largest metropolitan city in Indonesia with 70% of Medan's people being of productive age. This shows that the city of Medan has the potential to develop in the creative industry, but the lack of a platform to support the growth of creative ideas hinders this potential. A container is needed that meets the aspects of comfort, openness and accessibility. Based on the existing problems, a view emerged to design the "Medan Art Creative Center" with the theme approach that will be used to design this facility, namely Neo- Vernacular Architecture. Neo-Vernacular architecture is an architectural concept that incorporates elements of surrounding culture into buildings by applying patterns or motifs typical of the place itself. Apart from that, the use of a neo- vernacular theme is also in line with the building's function, namely as an arts and cultural facility, where the aim of this project is to introduce the surrounding culture to local people and tourists from outside the area.
