The final project of Museum and Gallery of Indonesian Literature is an initiative to provide literary educational facility that aims to increase the public interest toward literature. Museum typology is chosen as a preservation and documentation sanctuary of Indonesian literature. Gallery typology is selected to accommodate the need of a flexible space for temporary exhibition and meetings. This project is assumed to be owned by the government of Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta, which associates with Ministry of Education and Culture and also Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy. Museum and Gallery of Indonesian Literature will be planned to build in Yogyakarta as a city that is acknowledged for the productivity of artists’ activities and a place where the literature in Indonesia flourishes. The project is built in a site of ±27800m2 area, which is situated in North Ring Road Street, the district of Mlati, Sleman Regency. The design concept emphaizes on the exploration of the space experience quality, which is principally achieved by translating the literature (two-dimensional world) into architecture (threedimensional world) to potrait a situation that occurred in each period within the time of literature development in Indonesia. Subsequently, the building mass presented could reflect the broad line of Indonesian literature development. With this concept, it is expected that the building could be the manifestation and representation of Indonesian literature development.
