Penerapan Prinsip Arsitektur High Tech dalam Perancangan Pusat Olahraga Biliard di Kota Kupang

Abstract

Billiards sports in Kupang City continue to develop along with the increasing interest of the community, as evidenced by the spread of billiard rentals in various areas and the growing number of local competitions. However, the availability of training and competition facilities that meet national standards is still very limited. This has the potential to hinder athlete development, especially in facing major events such as PON 2028. The design of the Billiard Sport Centre in Kupang City aims to provide integrated, modern, and standard-compliant facilities, both for athlete training, national competitions, and community recreational activities. Therefore, a High-Tech Architecture approach is required, which is an approach that presents building features emphasizing structural expression, transparency, and the use of modern materials such as glass and steel. Charles Jencks' principles such as inside-out, celebration of process, bright coloring, and lightweight structures form the basis for the development of the concept, so that  sport center, billiard, hightech architecture, modern,  Kupang The building is not only functional but also becomes a new futuristic landmark. The design went through stages of functional analysis, space requirements, user activities, and site evaluation in Kupang City. The design outcome produces a sports centre concept capable of accommodating main facilities such as a billiard competition hall, supporting facilities such as a mini bar, billiard rental rooms for regular and VIP, as well as athlete training rooms. The High-Tech Architecture concept applied to the building presents spatial transparency, flexibility within the room, exposed building structures, and colors that distinguish the understanding of the structure for the general public.
