Abstract

Metropolitan public spaces are often shaped by efficiency and commercial priorities, limiting opportunities for spontaneous interaction and everyday social engagement, particularly among urban youth. As a result, many public environments function primarily as spaces of movement and consumption rather than inclusive places that support informal gathering, creativity, and collective urban life. Play Theory and Ludic City theory highlight that movement, spontaneity, improvisation, repetition, and transgression are essential to reactivating metropolitan public spaces as inclusive and socially vibrant environments. The project adopts a deductive approach using analogy as the primary design method within a concept-based framework. Youth behaviors are translated through the Rhythmic Field concept, where movement patterns are interpreted into five spatial tendencies: flow, breaks, variation, tempo, and peaks, all transformed into architectural strategies through domain-to-domain transfer. These strategies establish judgement criteria that guide the development of spatial organization, building form, environmental response, and user experience. The proposed design is a youth-oriented Community Hub that organizes buildings and open spaces as a continuous rhythmic environment supporting exploration, informal gathering, creative activities, and collective engagement. Through a sequence of interconnected spatial moments, the project fosters social interaction and connectivity while responding to the behavioral rhythms of metropolitan youth. The project demonstrates how the Rhythmic Field can operate as an architectural framework for translating social behavior into spatial experience, contributing to more inclusive and socially active metropolitan public spaces.

Ruang publik metropolitan sering kali dibentuk oleh prioritas komersial sehingga membatasi peluang interaksi spontan dan keterlibatan sosial sehari-hari, khususnya bagi generasi muda. Akibatnya, banyak ruang publik lebih berfungsi sebagai ruang konsumsi dibandingkan sebagai tempat yang inklusif untuk mendukung aktivitas berkumpul secara informal. Play Theory dan Ludic City Theory menekankan bahwa movement, spontaneity, improvisation, repetition, dan transgression merupakan elemen penting dalam mengaktifkan kembali ruang publik metropolitan sebagai lingkungan yang inklusif dan dinamis secara sosial. Perancangan ini menggunakan pendekatan deduktif dengan metode analogi sebagai metode utama dalam concept-based framework. Perilaku generasi muda diterjemahkan melalui konsep Rhythmic Field, di mana pola pergerakan diartikan menjadi lima spasial, yaitu flow, breaks, variation, tempo, dan peaks, yang diubah menjadi strategi arsitektural melalui proses domain-to-domain transfer. Strategi ini menghasilkan judgement criteria yang menjadi dasar dalam pengembangan ruang, bentuk bangunan, respons lingkungan, serta pengalaman pengguna. Hasil perancangan berupa Community Hub untuk generasi muda dengan bangunan dan ruang terbuka sebagai lingkungan ritmis yang berkesinambungan untuk mendukung aktivitas berkumpul, dan kegiatan kreatif. Melalui rangkaian spasial yang saling terhubung, rancangan ini mendorong terjadinya interaksi sosial, konektivitas, dan merespons ritme perilaku generasi muda di kawasan metropolitan. Konsep Rhythmic Field dapat berperan sebagai kerangka arsitektural dalam menerjemahkan perilaku sosial menjadi pengalaman spasial, sehingga berkontribusi terhadap terciptanya ruang publik yang lebih inklusif dan aktif secara sosial.
