Open and Flowing: The Design of an Interactive Space at the Marketplace

Abstract

Most traditional market revitalization concepts only focus on buying and selling activities while putting aside the fact that Indonesian traditional markets have social potentiality. This article aims to explore the interactive concepts to be implemented in the redesign of the Sederhana Market, Bandung, Indonesia. The study employed literature review and case study to generate the concepts of interactive space in a marketplace. It finds that interactiveness can be implemented in the open building massing, including the use of transparent partitions, inclusive accessibility for all users, and open circulations. The program is arranged to accommodate users' interactions, zoning according to functions, management objectives, and economic accessibility. It also provides community spaces located on every floor, adequate lighting and airing in all market spaces, easy and low-cost maintenance, and signages that allows communicable spatial layout. The Sederhana Market redesign is expected to improve the quality of the marketplace environment, maximizing the economic functions, while flourishing social interactions among users.
