DESIGN OF THE USU FUTSAL SPORTS HALL IN MEDAN USING A GREEN ARCHITECTURE APPROACH

Abstract

A Futsal is a sport similar to soccer, but played on a smaller indoor pitch and with slightly different rules. Futsal originated in Uruguay in the 1930s and was developed by Juan Carlos Ceriani, who wanted to create a sport that could be played indoors. Futsal has slightly different rules than soccer, such as: a smaller pitch (40x20 meters), a smaller and heavier ball, shorter playing time (2x20 minutes), no offside rules, and free substitutions. In short, futsal is a fun and challenging sport that requires technical skill, speed, and teamwork. A futsal sports hall is a sports facility specifically designed for futsal, a sport similar to soccer but played on a smaller indoor pitch. Therefore, a futsal sports hall is an important facility to support sports and other community activities. Green architecture is a building design approach that considers environmental and sustainability factors to create environmentally friendly and sustainable buildings. The University of North Sumatra is one of the largest universities in Indonesia, with students passionate about sports. Numerous sports tournaments are held by the university or other institutions, attracting students throughout the year. However, other sports, particularly futsal, face difficulties in hosting tournaments due to limited sports fields. Therefore, it is appropriate to provide complete and appropriate sports facilities and infrastructure for students at the University of North Sumatra. A descriptive analysis method was used in the design of the futsal sports hall, involving data collection, synthesis, analysis, and clarification, which served as the basis for the design. A green architecture approach served as the design concept. The planning of the chess school, for tourism, education, and entertainment, emphasized the unity between the building and its surrounding environment to create peace and harmony.
