GREEN TALAWANG MODERN ARCHITECTURAL CONCEPT WITH LOCAL WISDOM AT LPS OFFICE COMPETITION

Abstract

Modern architecture is often identified with international styles which tend to ignore or minimally integrate elements of local wisdom. However, in the context of the competition for designing the Deposit Insurance Corporation (LPS) office, there was an effort to develop a modern architectural concept that was integrated with local wisdom, especially through the use of green talawang. When combining modern architecture with local wisdom, it is important to consider cultural identity and the surrounding environment. Green talawang is an important element in this solution, not only as an aesthetic element, but also as a sustainable solution to overcome environmental challenges. The integration of green talawang provides thermal benefits, improved air quality and carbon absorption, creating a comfortable and environmentally friendly work space. This research creates harmony between modern architecture and local wisdom through the application of green talawang in LPS office buildings. With this approach, the design creates an innovative, energy efficient and sustainable work environment. Additionally, this concept has the potential to improve the well-being of office occupants through improving the quality of the indoor environment and engagement with natural elements. As a result, a modern architectural concept with local wisdom using green talawang is expected to make a positive contribution to the building's identity, occupants' welfare and overall environmental sustainability. As a response to contemporary demands and local needs, this approach can be a valuable guide in the development of modern architectural designs that combine global innovation with local wisdom.
