Abstrak
Volleyball is a highly popular sport in Indonesia, including in Southeast Sulawesi, particularly in Kendari City, which serves as a center for athlete development. However, the lack of adequate sports facilities—especially courts that do not meet national standards—has become a major obstacle to athlete development and event organization. Therefore, the design of a Volleyball Center in Kendari City using a contemporary architectural approach is expected to be a solution to improve the quality of athlete training and to support volleyball events at both regional and national levels. This final project aims to design a sports facility that can optimally accommodate training and competition needs for volleyball. The methods used include literature studies, direct observation, and comparative studies of sports buildings with similar functions and architectural concepts. The design results indicate that applying contemporary architectural principles—such as design flexibility, dynamic form, integration of interior and exterior spaces, and the use of modern technology—can create a building that is both functional and contextually responsive. The design includes nationally standardized competition facilities, training facilities, and other supporting amenities. With the establishment of this Volleyball Center, it is expected that the development of volleyball athletes in Southeast Sulawesi can be carried out more effectively, sports achievements will improve, and the public will have better access to high-quality and representative sports facilities.
