Bekasi Regency which is recognized as an industrial area also stores a wealth of history and culture in the past. One of these cultures is the Buni Culture which lasted from the end of the late prehistory to the beginning of the Tarumanegara kingdom (2nd – 5th century). This Buni culture was first discovered in Babelan district. At present, the site of Buni and its culture is threatened with loss and oblivion due to the development of surrounding industrial estates. This encourages the Bekasi regency government through the Bekasi Regency Tourism, Culture, Youth and Sports Office to build a history and archeology museum of Buni Culture in Babelan, Bekasi which serves as a forum for forms of Buni culture and educational media for the community in order to save Buni's site and culture. The museum design project is located on Kampung Pasar Emas road, Muarabakti, Babelan village, Bekasi, West Java with a project site of approximately 10,000 square meters and floor areas of approximately 3,000 square meters. Based on the results of the analysis related to the function of the building of the museum, the site, and the context of the surrounding environment, three main design issues were defined, namely image, mood and ambiance, and security. Departing from these issues, it was conceived a large concept of the design of the museum building, The Lost Culture of Buni, which would describe the forgotten culture of Buni, which preserves the beauty and richness of culture. This concept would describe a museum building that blends with the surrounding environment but is explorative and beautiful.
