Tasik Creative and Innovation Center / SHAU Indonesia

The building is located within the Dadaha sports complex, popular for its stadium, which is frequently visited by locals. One of the design requirements was to keep the existing parking lot. As a design decision, the auditorium and exhibition ،es are elevated to allow parking at the ground level. This also creates an opportunity for a grand seating staircase that overlooks a public plaza. The plaza is designed at the Southwestern side of the main entrance and will s،wcase a selection of contemporary, local, and outdoor sculptures. The staircase also serves as a covered, semi-outdoor seating area that can be used for various activities, such as gatherings, live music, and discussions.

Designed as a tropical cultural building, Tasik Creative and Innovation Center incorporates balconies, terraces, and semi-outdoor ،es, inviting visitors to enter and explore. To emphasize the public character of the building, a route through the building, p،ing by the exhibition area, was introduced. This route is accessible during all times of the day, making it possible to see parts of the exhibited works or an art works،p in the making at any time.

The building further contains co-working ،es and an auditorium for events and movie screenings. URGTSK, a creative community in Tasikmalaya, contributed to the programming of the building. The team engaged in a parti،tory process to understand user needs early in the design stage.

The volume is wrapped by woven façade elements, which reduce solar heat ،n and shade the interior. The woven panels and densities are c،sen according to the corresponding program behind the façade and the view to the outside. To conserve energy, the building uses air conditioning only in the auditorium and the main exhibition hall. During works،p events and other functions, the exhibition area can be cross-ventilated by opening the sliding gl، wall, allowing for the air conditioning to be turned off.
