SLB Tuna Rungu di Kota Kendari dengan Pendekatan Deaf Space Design

Abstract

This research is aimed at formulating the concept of planning and designing Special School for The Deaf  in Kendari City, as a formal school facility from the SDLB to SMALB levels, by referring to the Merdeka Belajar Curriculum prepared for the Special School for The Diffable.
The methods used are exploratory, descriptive, and analytical in creative architecture research. By applying the deaf space design guidelines (DSDG), it is hoped that the SLB for the deaf design will be obtained that pays more attention to the needs of deaf students, especially visually oriented design. The result is SLB for the deaf building that can accommodate educational activities, life-skill development and arts, both for SDLB to SMALB levels, with concentrated characteristics to provide a clear orientation and point-of-interest, a mass building that maximizes natural lighting, and an inclusive relationship between interior and exterior.  The detailed implementation of DSDG is also applied to corridor elements, transparency, and signage elements.
