The Digital Approach of The Architecture Narrative to The Relation of Gereja Ayam Sacred Space and Social Space in Pasar Baru Neighborhood

Abstract

As the main focus of religious celebrations, a religious building becomes a magnet for the social celebrants. The architectural composition of a religious structure is undoubtedly a crucial factor in determining the quality of public space in its surroundings. This study aims to explore the relationship between the sacred space of Gereja Ayam and the social space of Pasar Baru. This research employs the digital approach to the narrative storytelling of the Pasar Baru area and the Gereja Ayam as the case study, with the primary state of the art being the social space positioning of the Gereja Ayam sacred space on creating the sustainable urban environment of the Pasar Baru neighborhood. The main research question was how the Gereja Ayam as a sacred space created a close relationship with the Pasar Baru neighborhood. The research would help the digital concept of creating an integrated communal space as part of the Pasar Baru revitalization plan.
