Perancangan Apartemen di Kota Kendari dengan Pendekatan Arsitektur Biofilik

Abstrak

Kendari City, as the capital of Southeast Sulawesi Province, plays a strategic role in the economic, governmental, service, and educational sectors of Eastern Indonesia. Rapid population growth and economic activity have triggered a significant increase in land prices, particularly in Mandonga and Kadia Districts, which function as the city's Central Business District (CBD). This condition presents challenges in providing adequate and affordable housing, especially for the more than 77,000 formal workers in the area. Vertical housing emerges as a rational solution to land scarcity in dense urban zones. However, beyond spatial efficiency, the effectiveness of vertical housing lies in its ability to fulfill basic human needs for comfort and a connection to nature. In this context, biophilic architecture is a relevant approach, integrating natural elements such as daylighting, cross ventilation, vegetation, and natural ambiance into building design. This approach not only addresses urbanization challenges but also enhances the physical and psychological well-being of residents. Therefore, designing apartments with a biophilic architectural approach in Kendari is expected to offer a sustainable, functional, and livable housing solution for urban communities, particularly for formal workers in Mandonga and Kadia.
