Penerapan Konsep Arsitektur Simbolis Pada Revitalisasi Pangkalan Pendaratan Ikan (Ppi) Karangsong

Abstract

Karangsong PPI is located at a strategic location, which is on the northern coast of West Java, which is close to the Java Sea. This makes Karangsong PPI the main gateway for fish catches from various regions in West Java and the surrounding areas. In 2019, the total catch in Karangsong PPI was 22,709 tons. However, the infrastructures at Karangsong PPI are old and not appropriate for supporting the increasing fishing activities. This is also supported by the government through the RPJMD Regional Regulation of Indramayu Regency No. 9 Year 2021 - 2026 and the Decision of the Minister of Maritime Affairs and Fishery of the Republic of Indonesia No. 109 Year 2021 Regarding the Master Plan for National Fishing Harbors. Therefore, Karangsong PPI should be revitalized to improve the quality of the infrastructures and services for the fishermen and coastal communities. Quantitative and qualitative methods are used in collecting primary and secondary data in designing Karangsong PPI. The revitalization of Karangsong PPI is performed using symbolic architecture to strengthen the local maritime identity and cultural values. The architectural design is inspired by Karangsong fishermen’s catches such as pelagic fishes. The materials that are used are local materials that can withstand corrosion. Fish motif and unique coastal colors are used for the aesthetics and for the symbolic meaning of the building.
