The Design of Rajabasa Pocket Park based on Lampung Cultural Motifs

Abstract

Bandar Lampung is the capital city of Lampung Province that faced massive development in this decade. Commercial and industrial buildings, settlements, and other infrastructures were rapidly developed. It is reasonable, because there are toll road development and some national strategic projects in Lampung Province, especially near Bandar Lampung. But, those development is not fully in line with the supporting infrastructure development like parks. Whereas the amount of green open spaces, especially parks, is still far from sufficient. It is important to take advantage of the remaining space to be a park, pocket park exactly. This study aims to create a design of a pocket park in a small area in Rajabasa-Bandar Lampung. We apply Lampung Cultural Motifs as a concept of design to make a unique pocket park that possibly becomes one of the destinations for visitors when they come to Bandar Lampung. It could be one of the objects of tourist attraction. A qualitative-descriptive method along with a landscape design technique was used in this study. The result of this study is 3D visualization designs of Rajabasa Pocket Park which apply some motifs of tapis, siger, and traditional script. The motif of tapis is applied on sidewall and floor while the pepadun siger and traditional script are applied as a landmark of the pocket park.
