| dc.description.abstract | The Deli Malay ethnic group is the indigenous community of
Medan City. However, after the Dutch colonial administration brought
in Javanese and Chinese ethnic groups to Medan, the Deli Malay
people, being in the minority, gradually decreased in number as
other ethnic groups arrived in the city over the years. This situation,
coupled with a lack of information and education about the culture of
the Deli Malay people among the public, can lead to the neglect and
marginalization of Deli Malay culture.
This issue is concerning given the significant role that the Deli
Malay people have played in the development of Medan since
ancient times. To address this concern, the design of a Deli Malay
Cultural Center is proposed. It aims to serve as an educational hub
providing informative insights into the culture of the Deli Malay
people to the general public. Additionally, it serves as a facility for the
preservation of Deli Malay culture, incorporating a Vernacular
Architecture approach. This is expected to blend Deli Malay cultural
elements with modern features. This approach could be seen as a
solution to promote and preserve Deli Malay culture. This design is
also expected to be a symbol of cultural preservation and can inspire other community groups to continue to preserve their culture so that
the diversity of tribes and cultures in Indonesia does not decrease or
even become extinct. The research for this proposal is conducted
using observational methods, literature studies, and precedents. | en_US |
