EKSPERIMEN TEORI HUMAN CENTERED DESIGN PADA ELEMEN FISIK TAMAN KRESNA KOTA BANDUNG

Abstract

The phenomenon of urban design approach that is currently done rarely accommodates the diversity of socio-cultural structures formed in the region. The designers of the parks often see city parks as physical artifacts rather than as cultural artifacts. However, there was still a gap between the tools of spatial plan, i.e. the two- dimensional spatial plans and the three-dimensional physical plans. The theory of human-centered design with a participatory approach provides the opportunity to develop and guarantee a social community that allows the learning process for the society to adapt and integrate with their surroundings. The theory of Human-Centered Design has three main perspectives: desirability (demand), feasibility (eligibility) and viability (sustainability). Flexibility is the keyword when applying the theory of human-centered design into the design of urban parks. The focus of the theory of human-centered design in the case of Taman Kresna has a portion different from the ideal condition. The applied model design still has weaknesses especially in term of the process of its application to the case study. Keywords:
