Abstract

The green concept is a part of a sustainable concept. The application of the green concept to buildings is an important thing to be realized. At this time, the university is trying to apply the green concept to the building and its environment. The application of green concepts on campus requires a large investment but many benefits can be obtained such as low maintenance costs and good environmental quality. This research aims to develop a green concept that can be applied to the campus based on architect perspective. The method used is qualitative with the technique of data collection is interviews with ten architects who have participated in green assistance organized by the Green Building Council Indonesia. The data obtained were analysed descriptively. The results of the study showed that the architect agreed on the application of green concepts to the campus both in the building and its environment. Some green concept indicators that should be applied are building, water conservation, landscape, energy conservation, transportation, waste management and education. The green campus can be realized if it is supported by the vision, mission, and regulations by the rector and gets support from students and staff in its implementation.
