Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Science and technology are the main pillars of the country's progress. The development of science and technology is the key to achieving the vision of Advanced Indonesia 2045. Challenges such as the digital divide, data protection, cybersecurity, and technological innovation are still key challenges. The Riau Science Center in Pekanbaru is not yet able to be a technological representation of inadequate buildings and inadequate facilities. Therefore, innovative facilities such as the Science and Technology Education Center designed using a smart building approach are needed. This approach leverages advanced technology for energy efficiency, comfort, and building function. This study applies case study methods and combined strategies. The facility will be equipped with props, exhibits, and science-technology displays to create a progressive learning experience. The design of this building adopts the concept of "Science-Tech Evolution" which combines theory, experiments, and applications in a balanced triangular design.
