ABSTRACT

The Province of Central Sulawesi has an interestingly attractive potency of tourism beaches for tourists, such as white-sand beach, sunset spots, tropical beach forest, and the beauty of an underwater landscape, mainly coral reefs located in Tanjung Karang, the Regency of Donggala. The typographic preservation of this tourism destination is mostly still well-maintained, but some abandoned areas are also found due to tourists or inhabitants exploitation. It can be seen from buildings layout exceeding the beach border, garbage stacking in the coastal area up to the sea, careless clear-water consumption, and unmanaged and uncontrolled waste management system. Based on these circumstances, a strategy to maintain existing natural preservation is highly required by the utilization of environmentally friendly energy. The sustainable strategy integrates hotel resort areas with its surroundings, viewed from biomimetic architecture, and contains climate, biology, architecture, and technology, collectively. The research, then, discusses how to respond to the natural condition of Tanjung Karang beach, by considering its surroundings in terms of adaptation to nature and evolution [1], and also utilizes regional climate-supported energy, optimally, such as the solar energy and heat, wind, and surroundings-sourced water. Further, the adaptation of a coastal-traditional architecture was also performed by duplicating (mimetic), a transformation was relevantly conducted. In this research, a biomimetic approach was not comprehensively done, but it was limited to a simple simulation process, consisting of site management, site analysis via environment interaction, the concept of the hotel resorts design considering traditional principles such as building style, the mass form of buildings, and a schematic and simulated management of partly renewable energy.
