Perancangan Pusat Pelatihan dan Pementasan Seni Tari Khas Manggarai di Labuan Bajo dengan Pendekatan Arsitektur Metafora

Abstract

Designing a Training and Performance Center for Manggarai Traditional Dance in Labuan Bajo as a response to the need for preserving local culture amid the rapid development of tourism. The main goal of this design is to create a facility that can accommodate learning, training, and performance activities of Manggarai dance in an integrated manner, while showcasing the regional cultural identity through a metaphorical architectural approach. The design method was carried out through literature study, field observation, site analysis, space requirement analysis, and the development of form concepts that adapt Manggarai cultural symbols such as lingko patterns, weaving motifs, and the dynamics of traditional dance movements. The design results show that the metaphorical architecture approach can be effectively applied to create strong visual character, communicative spatial layout, and an ambiance that reflects local wisdom values. In conclusion, this training and performance center not only serves as a facility for education and performances, but also has the potential to become a new cultural icon that enriches the tourism experience and strengthens the identity of Labuan Bajo.
