Historiography Approach in Design Concept of the Padepokan Pencak Silat in Bandar Lampung

Abstract

Pencak Silat is designated by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage at the 14th session of the Intergovernmental Committee for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage, held in Bogota, Colombia, on December 9-14, 2019. The tradition of Pencak Silat embodies values of friendship, mutual respect, and the promotion of social cohesion. The Setia Hati Terate School is known in Indonesia as a Philosophical School recognized by IPSI, as reflected in its emblem, which carries symbolic meanings and contains noble values. Therefore, this padepokan is designed to accommodate the activities of thousands of members of the Persaudaraan Setia Hati Terate as a form of preserving Indonesia's cultural heritage. By using a structural narrative analysis method, the design of the padepokan addresses issues such as functionality, spatial planning, contextuality, and enclosure. The design outcome incorporates a historiographic concept so that the philosophical meaning of the school can be conveyed and experienced through the senses, supported by a sustainability concept that adopts traditional Lampung architecture, reflecting concern for the environment and the preservation of Lampung's cultural assets. Located in Bandar Lampung, the padepokan design concept of the Persaudaraan Setia Hati Terate is expected to implement the historiographic concept in its structure.
