The world's human population is increasing. Indonesia, according to the Central Bureau of Statistics, the number of people in 2022 is increasing by 1.13% from last year. Big cities in Indonesia, especially in Java Island, are places with the highest population, the city of Bandung which is one of the big cities has a population that continues to increase every year, according to the Central Bureau of Statistics for the City of Bandung in 2018 to 2020 the number of people will increase by 7000 soul. This increase in population has created new problems in society such as land reduction, climate change, congestion, and one of them is waste. Waste is goods or objects that are thrown away because they are no longer used. The amount of waste is directly proportional to the human population, the more people the more waste is produced. Waste is the second biggest problem in Bandung after traffic jams (Diskominfo, 2019), based on data from the Office and Settlements, waste production in 2021 will reach 1,500 tons per day, this will result in accumulation of waste around the city, creating an unhealthy environment. This problem can be seen from various aspects such as public awareness in the waste disposal process and effectiveness in the waste treatment process. Sarimukti TPA is the final place for waste to be processed, the TPA is located far from the city so transportation takes quite a long time, then the Sarimukti TPA is not in accordance with workplace standards with temporary shelters that are inconvenient and easy to collapse. As an effort to overcome this problem, a landfill needs a nearby waste processing site so as to minimize transportation time, sorted waste can be directly processed into something useful. Power plants burn waste into energy for society, then recycling makes waste into crafts or art that can be resold. Architecture's contribution in solving this problem is by increasing effectiveness in waste management in terms of process, quality of life, and technological developments
