Penerapan Arsitektur Metafora pada Perancangan Preschool dan Daycare di Medan

Abstract

. As a child's first source of education, parents compete to provide the best parenting for their children. In the midst of today's high economic demands, it is not uncommon for parents to have to divide their time to work and care for children, which is often a challenge for parents in monitoring their children's development. Preschool and daycare are one of the answers to this problem, where children's development will continue to be monitored, children can be more active and carry out independent activities. The design method used is descriptive qualitative, by analyzing several literature studies and comparative surveys to carry out a complete analysis such as location selection, site analysis, space programs, and activities, interior layout, appearance to structure and utilities. The selection of the concept by applying metaphorical architecture to the design of Preschool and Daycare is based on the play and thinking patterns of early childhood children who use a lot of creativity, because children in their golden age like to play with shapes and spaces. The selection of puzzle and nature metaphors is expected to fulfill the goal of fun parenting in a child's development in the form of a design.
