MUSEUM SONGKET PALEMBANG DENGAN PENDEKATAN ARSITEKTUR NEO-VERNAKULAR

Abstract

<p><em>Traditional weaving as a nation</em><em>al</em><em> cultural heritage </em><em>is</em><em> being abandoned, including songket in Palembang</em><em> city</em><em>. </em><em>S</em><em>ongket weaving craft has been abandoned</em><em> due to the limited process of the making, expensive raw materials</em><em>, and competiti</em><em>veness</em><em>, </em><em>either </em><em>other crafters</em><em> or</em><em> modern weaving. There are hundreds of Palembang songket motifs that have not </em><em>been </em><em>documented and collected well. O</em><em>nly</em><em> 77 motifs </em><em>which</em><em> have </em><em>been </em><em>registered </em><em>as</em><em> intellectual property rights. </em><em>The lack attention of this matter would give </em><em>possibility </em><em>for</em><em> neighboring </em><em>countries</em><em> </em><em>to claim it such an accident ever exist.</em><em> Songket Museum </em><em>is needed as</em><em> conservation</em><em> center</em><em>, exhibit</em><em>ion</em><em>, research, and songket craft workshop.</em><em> </em><em>Neo-Vernacular Architecture approach </em><em>is </em><em>used to</em><em> make museum </em><em>architectural design </em><em>which is </em><em>in </em><em>line </em><em>the cultural values of Palembang in contemporary design</em><em>. The design </em><em>issue </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>how to </em><em>apply the principles of Neo-</em><em>V</em><em>ernacular</em><em> Architecture</em><em> into Palembang Songket Museum design. The method is designing the museum by taking both the physical a</em><em>n</em><em>d non-physical </em><em>e</em><em>lements</em><em> of local culture</em><em>. Beside, </em><em>re-interpretation the </em><em>shape </em><em>and philosophy</em><em>cal value</em><em> of </em><em>local </em><em>architecture</em><em> a</em><em>nd Palembang songket a</em><em>re apllied</em><em> in</em><em> a </em><em>new composition </em><em>of </em><em>Neo-Vernacular Architecture. The result is </em><em>a design of </em><em>Palembang Songket Museum </em><em>which</em><em> </em><em>applies</em><em> </em><em>Neo-Vernacular Architecture principles.</em></p><p><em> </em></p><p><strong><em>Keywords</em></strong><em>: Architecture, Neo-Vernacular, Palembang Songket, Songket Museum.</em></p>
