DESIGN OF A PAINTING ARTS MUSEUM IN MEDAN USING A GREEN ARCHITECTURE CONCEPT APPROACH

Abstract

Exhibition activities for works of art, one of which is painting, are generally held in open spaces with certain events that make it uncomfortable for visitors to enjoy existing works of art. Variations in methods and places for exhibitions need to be accommodated to avoid inconvenience to visitors. This painting art museum was built with the aim of providing a new forum for the general public to enjoy famous works of painting and to become a new tourist attraction in the city of Medan. The design method applied is through an appointment process starting from existing problem factors to utilize the space as a tourist activity for works of painting. This painting art museum design idea is proposed to answer these initial problems.

The concept of green architecture is promoted as an initial step towards realizing sustainable living and the environment. Sustainability is an effort to maintain its existence on earth by minimizing damage to nature and the environment. The metaphorical theme of the metamorphosis process in butterflies is that they become eggs, then become caterpillars and then become pupae and then become beautiful butterflies. It is the same as the process of creating painting which has an initial stage of a basic idea which is developed in a sketch and then outlined with several drawing techniques until a beautiful painting is created. The transformation of the metavorous process of butterflies into a painting art museum in the city of Medan is shown through the image or impression of beauty in butterflies and in paintings that support it as a place for painting exhibitions and storage of famous works of painting. It is hoped that this design can become a forum for artists and art lovers as well as for the general public to restore their love for works of art from the work of the younger generation and can become a new tourist attraction in the city of Medan.
