PASAR RAYA ALAM TAKAMBANG SOLOK

The great potential that can become a new magnet for the younger generation and busy city residents is the beauty of nature and the presence of Syekh Kukut Park. Both of them, located at the two poles of this complex, if they succeed in becoming magnets for visitors, there is a high possibility that the spaces in the area will also have a positive impact, making them icons with the identity strategy of simplifying the Bagonjong. The view of the hills around Solok city can be seen from the roof of the old market, with the floors from the ground to the roof using cement and terracotta tiles as the central identity of the area, as well as making it easier for visitors to orient themselves in the area. The Skylight Bagonjong roof in the market functions to let in sunlight while removing hot air during the day.

“Alam Takambang Jadi Ilmu” is also a noble value that is preserved in this market while shaping itself to have a younger and more dynamic atmosphere. Therefore, the concept of “Atap Payuang Surian” is chosen to show the government’s attention to environmental quality, so it is important to preserve groundwater by collecting as much as possible in underground reservoirs in the area, which can help improve flood problems and water shortages. This “Atap Payuang Surian” is also chosen because it can improve the visitor experience with good ventilation and lighting.

Sustainable strategies in the circular economy concept are implemented by using local materials that can stimulate the local construction workforce. Wood, red bricks, prefab concrete, and Surian wood are some of the options chosen to empower local human resources and industries through this project. In addition, the creation of new creative and commercial spaces in the Alam Takambang Market and Syekh Kukut Park, which are close to the natural atmosphere, will also attract the younger generation, who will become long-term consumers.
