Perancangan Pusat Kebudayaan Aceh di Banda Aceh dengan Pendekatan Neo-Vernakular

Banda Aceh merupakan ibu kota Provinsi Aceh yang memiliki kekayaan budaya berupa seni, adat istiadat, dan nilai-nilai keislaman. Namun, globalisasi dan modernisasi menyebabkan minat generasi muda terhadap budaya lokal mulai berkurang, sementara fasilitas kebudayaan di Banda Aceh belum terintegrasi secara optimal. Perancangan ini bertujuan menghadirkan Pusat Kebudayaan Aceh di Banda Aceh dengan Pendekatan Neo vernakular sebagai wadah pelestarian, edukasi, pengembangan, dan promosi budaya. Metode yang digunakan meliputi pengumpulan data, studi literatur, studi preseden, analisis tapak, program ruang, serta teori menurut Geoffrey Broadbent. Pendekatan Neo vernakular diterapkan melalui transformasi unsur Rumah Aceh yang terdiri atas tiga bagian utama, yaitu kaki, badan, dan kepala. Bagian kaki diadaptasi melalui penerapan konsep rumah panggung pada bangunan, bagian badan diterapkan melalui pengolahan massa dan Pembagian ruang yang mencerminkan susunan ruang Rumah Aceh, sedangkan bagian kepala ditransformasikan melalui bentuk Sirih Junjung, sebagai simbol penyambutan dimasyarakat Aceh. Penerapan unsur fisik tersebut diperkuat dengan ornamen dan motif budaya Aceh, seperti Pintu Aceh dan Pucuk Rebung, dan simbol Rencong sebagai elemen identitas budaya Aceh. Fasilitas yang dirancang meliputi auditorium, ruang pameran, perpustakaan budaya, dan ruang terbuka publik. Perancangan ini diharapkan dapat memperkuat identitas budaya Aceh, meningkatkan apresiasi masyarakat, serta mendukung pengembangan wisata budaya dan ekonomi kreatif di Banda Aceh.

Banda Aceh is the capital of Aceh Province, a region rich in cultural heritage—including arts, customs, and Islamic values. However, globalization and modernization have led to a decline in the younger generation’s interest in local culture, while existing cultural facilities in Banda Aceh lack optimal integration. This project aims to design an Aceh Cultural Center in Banda Aceh using a Neo-vernacular approach, serving as a venue for cultural preservation, education, development, and promotion. The methodology encompasses data collection, literature reviews, precedent studies, site analysis, spatial programming, and the application of architectural theories by Geoffrey Broadbent. The Neo-vernacular approach is implemented by transforming elements of the traditional Aceh House, which consists of three main sections: the base foot, the body, and the roof/head. The base section is adapted through the stilt-house concept; the body section is realized through massing and spatial layouts that mirror the Aceh house configuration; and the roof section is transformed based on the Sirih Junjung form, a symbol of hospitality in Acehnese society. These physical elements are reinforced by Acehnese cultural ornaments and motifs—such as the Aceh door and Pucuk Rebung—and the Rencong symbol, which serves as an emblem of Acehnese cultural identity. The designed facilities include an auditorium, exhibition spaces, a cultural library, and public open spaces. This design is expected to strengthen Acehnese cultural identity, enhance public appreciation, and support the development of cultural tourism and the creative economy in Banda Aceh.
