Design of community creative industry building: A green building approach

Plastic waste remains the top crucial problem besides energy security in today’s life. It takes tens to hundreds of years to decompose, harming living things and the environment. Recycling activities can help reduce plastic waste and enhance the creativity of young people, students, and the community by producing new products from plastic waste. A community creative industry building design is proposed in this study by highlighting plastic recycling activities considering three principles: reduce, reuse and recycle. The Green Building approach was used in this study as a design form generator for it conforms to an environmentally friendly approach. The case study of this research is in Palu City, Indonesia. The Greenship for New Building Assessment version 1.2 by the Green Building Council Indonesia (GBCI) was implemented by utilising the logical argumentation method in the early design stage. The green building approach was implemented in the building site design, building form and envelope, and building interior. For active clean energy production, photovoltaics were installed on the rooftop with a tilt angle of 5°. From the conceptual analysis result, the proposed design can achieve a gold rating by obtaining 51 points in the Greenship assessment list for New Building version 2.1.
