Identification of neo vernacular architecture in district government building in West Java province

A government should have a coordination building as an instrument to do governance. In a regional government on district level, there is a coordination building which is called Regent’s Office (Kantor Bupati). Usually, it represents the district’s demography and geography. Neo-Vernacular architecture is a Post-Modern architecture concept that combines the local and modern architecture. The implementation of Neo-Vernacular concept in regent’s building on West Java has a purpose to keep, preserve, and become the symbol of the region and also gives uniqueness on the shape of today’s building without leaving the Sundanese culture. The methods that are used in this thesis are describing literature and findings, correlating object, and comparing the shape of 2 (two) objects which are Bandung regent’s office and Sumedang regent’s office’ in a form of a comparative study through Sundanese architecture context and also comparing the Sundanese architecture elements in few parts of building which becomes the object of the research. And on the last section, the result of the findings will be categorized according to Neo-Vernacular architecture principle.
