| dc.description.abstract | Markets play a central role in driving the economy of society. Besides being
a primary destination for local products, markets also serve as significant
employment hubs for residents. In this regard, the traditional Sei Sikambing
market, located on Jalan Gatot Subroto, Medan city, and managed by the
City Government (Pemko), has actively undergone periodic physical
improvements. However, these improvements have not been sufficient to
address the issues at the Sei Sikambing market. Traders still complain about
the physical condition of the market buildings. The Sei Sikambing market has
high potential due to its strategic location at the intersection of two main
roads. However, poor market management, including irregular layout and the
construction of stalls along the roadside that impede traffic flow, exacerbates
the situation. Additionally, the traditional Sei Sikambing market, situated in
the middle of a residential area, has limited space, resulting in inadequate
parking areas, and the market interior appears dark with poor air circulation.
This research aims to explore the principles of sustainable architecture in
finding a revitalization concept for the traditional Sei Sikambing market
through literature review, field observation, questionnaire distribution, and
expert interviews. The literature review on sustainable architecture in this
research highlights the positive impact of applying sustainable architecture
principles, ranging from energy efficiency, such as the use of solar panels for
electricity generation combined with building roof design, to the utilization of
light and air related to openings in the building. | en_US |
