Laporan Perancangan Gedung Kemahasiswaan Universitas Sumatera Utara dengan Pendekatan Arsitektur Tropis

Abstract

From the background of the need for building facilities and other supporting facilities by the University of North Sumatra to accommodate students and female students who are members of organizations including the Student Executive Board and Student Activity Unit, a new design for the Student Affairs Building is needed. The aim and objective of this design is so that students and students at the University of North Sumatra can socialize in the campus environment, especially with non-academic activities. The design approach determined is tropical architecture, which directs architectural design to be responsive to the climate conditions of Indonesia as a tropical country and emphasizes energy saving principles. Thus, the final design result is a two-story building whose main space requirements consist of 13 student activity unit rooms, a student executive body room, a hall with a capacity of 200 people, and other supporting rooms.
