Perancangan Gedung Kemahasiswaan Universitas Sumatera Utara dengan Pendekatan Arsitektur Biofilik

Abstract

The design of the Student Center at the University of North Sumatra (USU) embodies three main concepts: openness, adaptive & flexible, and green responsible, with a biophilic architecture approach. The concept of openness is realized through a design that emphasizes open spaces to facilitate interaction among students. An adaptive & flexible interior design allows for space adjustments to accommodate various student activities. Meanwhile, the implementation of the green responsible concept involves the use of green technology and renewable energy to create an environmentally friendly environment. The biophilic architecture approach enriches the design with natural elements, enhancing student well-being and learning productivity. Integration of natural elements such as sunlight, vegetation, and fresh air flow is an integral part of the Student Center's design, creating an inspiring, healthy, and sustainable environment. By integrating these three concepts with a biophilic architecture approach, the Student Center at USU is expected to become an inclusive, innovative, and sustainable hub for both students and the surrounding environment.
