Pusat Kerajinan Tenun dengan Pendekatan Arsitektur Neo Vernakular di Kota Kendari

Abstrak

The growth of creative industries rooted in local wisdom in Kendari City, particularly traditional woven crafts from the Buton, Tolaki, and Muna ethnic groups, calls for a representative center that facilitates promotion, education, and production activities. This study aims to design a Weaving Craft Center that not only meets functional needs but also reflects local cultural identity through a Neo-Vernacular architectural approach. This approach integrates traditional architectural values with contemporary needs and construction technologies to produce a design that is contextual, adaptive, and sustainable. The methodology includes literature review, field observation, and analysis of architectural elements from the traditional houses of the three ethnic groups, which serve as inspiration for form, material use, and spatial arrangement. The resulting design showcases buildings with distinct local characteristics, the use of natural and locally sourced materials, and spatial planning that supports weaving community activities. The application of Neo-Vernacular Architecture has proven effective in creating spaces that are not only functional but also reinforce cultural identity and foster appreciation for traditional architectural heritage in the modern era.
