Studi Penerapan Prinsip Arsitektur Pesisir pada Perancangan Sentra Wisata Kuliner di Kota Balikpapan

Abstract

Coastal areas possess environmental characteristics that differ from inland regions, such as exposure to sea winds, high humidity, and corrosion potential, which require adaptive architectural design approaches. Balikpapan City, as a coastal city, has significant potential for the development of culinary tourism centers that function not only as commercial facilities but also as public spaces. This study aims to examine the application of coastal architecture principles in the design of a culinary tourism center in Balikpapan City. The research employs a descriptive qualitative method through literature review and architectural precedent studies without direct field observation. The results indicate that coastal architecture principles include responsiveness to coastal climate and sea winds, building orientation toward the sea, the use of semi-outdoor transitional spaces, and the selection of building forms, structural systems, and materials that are adaptive to the coastal environment. Case studies of Sydney Fish Market and Gushan Fish Market demonstrate that the application of these principles is contextual and influenced by site conditions and surrounding environments. This study concludes that coastal architecture principles can serve as a relevant conceptual foundation for designing coastal culinary tourism centers to enhance user comfort, spatial quality, and building sustainability.
