Designing Museum in Langkat with Neo Malay Vernacular Approach

Abstract

Langkat Regency as one of the districts in North Sumatra, has a long and rich history with strong cultural and religious influences, especially in the Malay sultanate. Therefore, it is important to maintain these historical relics and the need for a proper place to store these historical relics, In Tanjung Pura District there is a Langkat Regency history museum building, but the building is now less active and less suitable to be used as a museum which should be like other active museums. By redesigning the Langkat Regency Museum building applying the Neo Vernacular Malay approach where the Langkat area is a Malay land, it can be expected to reactivate its function which allows the surrounding community and the outside community to look back and become a means of education from the histories and relics of the Langkat Regency Area.
