OCEANARIUM DENGAN PENDEKATAN ARSITEKTUR BIOFILIK DI KOTA KENDARI

Abstrak

Kendari City has great marine potential as part of the coastal area of ​​Southeast Sulawesi, but until now it has not been supported by educational and recreational facilities that are able to accommodate educational functions and tourism in an integrated manner. The Oceanarium is one of the facilities that can introduce marine ecosystems to the public while increasing the attractiveness of environmentally-based tourism. This study aims to design an Oceanarium in Kendari City with a biophilic architecture approach, which emphasizes the connection between humans, nature, and buildings. The method used is an architectural design method that includes primary and secondary data collection, site analysis, space requirements analysis, and design concept formulation. The design results show that the application of biophilic architecture principles through optimizing natural lighting, natural ventilation, the use of water elements, and the integration of vegetation can improve the quality of space and visitor comfort. The design of this Oceanarium is expected to become a sustainable educational tourism facility as well as a new icon of Kendari City oriented towards marine environmental conservation.
