Abstract

Tower Reservoir or better known as Tirtanadi Water Tower is an iconic building and one of the old buildings in Medan that still has the typical Dutch architecture. This tower is located in the complex of the PDAM Tirtanadi headquarters. The existence of the Tirtanadi Water Tower is not well known by the society and has little attention while it is still actively used to this day. PDAM Tirtanadi is not just an ordinary water company, but it has a history which needs to be preserved in the journey of this company until this day. As an effort to preserve the history of PDAM Tirtanadi, this project aims to design a museum in the Tirtanadi Water Tower area. This study uses the simulation method. The simulation method is accomplished by making the replication or imitation of the existing reality. This aims to get a representation of the preliminary design of Tirtanadi Water Museum. The software program to assist this study is Revit software in order to produce both 3D and 2D drawings that represent the designed spatial area. This study has to explore and analyze the existing phenomena to produce a suitable design concept. The concept of designing the Tirtanadi Water Museum is “Hulu-Hilir” that is taken from the concept of water flowing from upstream (“hulu”) to downstream (“hilir”). The design purpose is intended to make the museum not only act as one of the tourism attractions in Medan, but also as a platform to educate the society in order to increase their awareness to protect the surrounding environment.
