Description
Summary:The Phenomenon of "Redesigning" City Halls Has Occurred in Various Parts of The World. The phenomenon is an effort to restore the function of the City Hall as the center of a city, making it accessible and usable by the community as well. The project is in Subang Regency, West Java. The project is initiated by the Subang Regency Government in collaboration with the community. This project is carried out in accordance with the government's mission to develop spatial planning with local cultural characteristics. The concept of Subang Jawara, which represents prosperity, uniqueness, and well-being, is the core value incorporated in the efforts to revitalize the city through an open and inclusive process involving all segments of society. This project emphasizes the importance of understanding how the addition of new facilities can transform an exclusive city hall into a symbol of the city's identity itself and foster community development through creative community spaces. The addition of functions to the city hall as an open public space for all segments of society is based on the Inclusive Design Standards by the Legacy Development Corporation (2019). Drawing from Carmona's theory of Public Places (2003), the project also considers the addition of functions to the city hall as a public space that reflects the identity of the city and its community. Furthermore, the project takes inspiration from the Creative Space Design Patterns Guide by Katja Thoring (2018) to empower the creative community. Lastly, the design guidelines for sustainable tropical buildings proposed by the Cairns Regional Council (2011) provide the foundation for the project's approach to responding to the tropical climate. These theoretical foundations are then elaborated upon to establish performance requirements that serve as references for the design process.
