Integration of contextual architecture in the design of The Panceing Cemara Street Walk, Deli Serdang Regency

Abstract

Medan City and Deli Serdang Regency are two adjacent regions experiencing significant population growth. In the border area, particularly in Percut Sei Tuan District, the need for public spaces for recreation and social interaction has not been optimally fulfilled. The limited availability of open space in this densely populated area highlights the importance of developing spaces that can inclusively accommodate social functions. To address this issue, the design of the Pancing–Cemara Street Walk is proposed as a public space that is not only functional but also contextual to its surrounding environment. With the theme of contextual architecture, the Street Walk design aims to harmonize with the social, cultural, and physical character of the area, while reviving local elements through adaptive architectural expression. Spaces such as parks, seating areas, pedestrian paths, commercial zones, and green open areas are designed to support the creation of a comfortable and well-connected place for interaction and recreation
