Abstrak
Indonesia has quite amazing developments in the automotive world. This is supported by a handful of researchers who have analyzed automotive developments in Indonesia. Southeast Sulawesi is very influenced by the type of motorbike racing sport, this is proven by the frequent holding of national motorbike racing championships which invite many motorbike racers in Southeast Sulawesi areas as well as racers outside the city which are held by IMI Sultra. Most motorbike racing events in the city of Kendari are held on non-permanent circuits whose actual function is not as circuits, but as public roads. Based on these issues, the author as an Architecture student at Halu Oleo University took the initiative to take the final assignment title "Planning a Motorcycle Racing Circuit Using a Metaphorical Architectural Approach in Kendari City". The use of this conceptual approach adapts to the user's needs and local natural conditions. Metaphorical architecture is an architectural style that takes the form of a metaphor or parable of something. The architectural metaphor approach was chosen because it is easier to apply. The building orientation minimizes the exposure of the longest side of the building to sunlight, the basic shape of the building optimizes green and blue open spaces, creating ambiguity between indoor and outdoor space, and the space program related to the needs and relationships between spaces has been well analyzed.
