IMPLEMENTASI POLA ARSITEKTUR BIOFILIK PADA PUSAT PERBELANJAAN DI IKLIM TROPIS: LAGOON AVENUE MALL SUNGKONO SURABAYA

Introduction

Implementasi pola arsitektur biofilik pada pusat perbelanjaan di iklim tropis: lagoon avenue mall sungkono surabaya. Kaji implementasi arsitektur biofilik di Lagoon Avenue Mall Surabaya, pusat perbelanjaan tropis. Temukan pola desain alam yang tingkatkan kesejahteraan & keberlanjutan ruang komersial.

Abstract

Penerapan pola arsitektur biofilik dalam ruang komersial seperti mall, khususnya di kawasan beriklim tropis, masih jarang dikaji secara mendalam. Padahal, pendekatan desain ini menawarkan potensi besar dalam mengintegrasikan elemen alam ke dalam lingkungan binaan guna meningkatkan kesejahteraan manusia. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pola arsitektur biofilik pada Lagoon Avenue Mall Sungkono Surabaya, sebuah pusat perbelanjaan semi-outdoor di Surabaya. Studi dilakukan dengan metode deskriptif-kualitatif melalui observasi lapangan, dokumentasi fotografis, serta pemetaan pola biofilik berdasarkan kategori Nature in the Space, Natural Analogues, dan Nature of the Space dalam 14 pola desain biofilik. Data yang diperoleh dianalisis dengan mengidentifikasi jenis, distribusi, dan proporsi pola arsitektur biofilik yang tampak dalam ruang publik mall. Hasil penelitian ini menyatakan bahwa Lagoon Avenue Mall Sungkono Surabaya menampilkan pola biofilik yang cukup beragam, namun belum sepenuhnya terintegrasi secara konsisten di seluruh area sirkulasi utama. Hasil studi ini diharapkan dapat memberikan kontribusi terhadap praktik perancangan ruang komersial tropis yang lebih berkelanjutan, sekaligus memperkaya literatur mengenai representasi pola biofilik dalam konteks urban.

Review

This study addresses a pertinent gap in architectural research by investigating the implementation of biophilic design patterns within commercial spaces, specifically shopping malls located in tropical climates. The authors rightly highlight the underexplored potential of biophilic architecture to enhance human well-being through the integration of natural elements into built environments, a particularly crucial aspect in dense urban settings like Surabaya. By focusing on Lagoon Avenue Mall Sungkono, a semi-outdoor shopping center, the research sets out to systematically analyze how these patterns manifest, offering valuable insights into the practical application and efficacy of biophilic principles in a challenging climate context. The objective is clearly defined, setting a strong foundation for the subsequent analysis. The methodology employed in this research is robust and appropriate for its qualitative, descriptive aims. Utilizing field observations, photographic documentation, and mapping based on the established 14 biophilic design patterns (categorized under Nature in the Space, Natural Analogues, and Nature of the Space), the study ensures a comprehensive data collection approach. The analysis method, which identifies the types, distribution, and proportion of biophilic patterns, provides a structured framework for understanding their presence and impact. The key finding, revealing that Lagoon Avenue Mall displays a diverse range of biophilic patterns but lacks consistent integration across all main circulation areas, is a significant practical insight that can inform future design practices and strategic planning for commercial developments seeking to genuinely embed biophilic principles. Overall, this paper makes a valuable contribution to both architectural theory and practice, particularly within the context of sustainable design for tropical commercial environments. By meticulously documenting and analyzing biophilic patterns in a real-world setting, the study enriches the existing literature on biophilic representations in urban contexts and provides actionable knowledge for architects, developers, and urban planners. The identification of inconsistent integration as a challenge offers a clear direction for improving future projects, advocating for a more holistic and deliberate application of biophilic design to maximize its potential for human well-being and environmental sustainability. This research serves as an important reference for advancing the understanding and implementation of biophilic design in challenging climatic and commercial settings.
