Design of A Multipurpose Building in Tjoe Ann Kiong Temple of Lasem City, Rembang Regency, Central Java

Abstract

Tjoe An Kiong Temple is a hundred-year-old cultural heritage building in Soditan Village, Lasem City, Rembang Regency, which still functions actively as a place of worship. Along with the times, there is a need for additional facilities in the form of multipurpose buildings to accommodate various social, cultural, and religious activities of the local community. This article describes the Community Service (PKM) activities of the Architecture Study Program of the Indonesian Christian University which aims to design a multipurpose building while maintaining the preservation of the cultural heritage area. The implementation method includes the preparation stage, field observation, and design implementation through coordination with community partners. The research resulted in a comprehensive architectural design that was flexible, functional, and harmonious with the context of the historic environment.
