Arsitektur mencerminkan kebudayaan, nilai, dan identitas masyarakat. Namun, arus modernisasi dan globalisasi yang pesat mendorong terpinggirkannya arsitektur lokal, termasuk arsitektur tradisional Sunda yang kaya filosofi serta selaras dengan alam. Penelitian ini bertujuan merancang Youth Culture Center di Kota Bandung dengan pendekatan arsitektur neo-vernakular, guna menghadirkan ruang ekspresi generasi muda sekaligus melestarikan budaya lokal. metode penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif melalui studi literatur, studi komparatif, survei lapangan, analisis kebutuhan ruang, dan perumusan konsep desain. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penerapan arsitektur neo-vernakular mampu mereinterpretasi elemen tradisional Sunda seperti bentuk atap, penggunaan kayu, bambu, batu alam, serta prinsip keselarasan dengan lingkungan ke dalam wujud arsitektur modern yang fungsional, adaptif, dan kontekstual. zonasi ruang terdiri dari area publik, semi publik, dan privat, dipadukan dengan ruang terbuka seperti plaza, inner court, studio musik, dan auditorium. Integrasi ruang-ruang ini mendukung interaksi sosial, kreativitas, serta pelestarian budaya. Dengan demikian, Youth Culture Center tidak hanya menjadi wadah partisipatif generasi muda, tetapi juga representasi arsitektur Sunda yang modern, inspiratif, dan berakar pada tradisi.

Abstract
Architecture reflects the culture, values, and identity of a society. However, the rapid flow of modernization and globalization has marginalized local architecture, including traditional Sundanese architecture, which is rich in philosophy and in harmony with nature. This study aims to design a Youth Culture Center in Bandung City with a neo-vernacular architectural approach, in order to provide a space for expression for the younger generation while preserving local culture. The research method uses a descriptive qualitative approach through literature studies, comparative studies, field surveys, space needs analysis, and the formulation of design concepts. The results show that the application of neo-vernacular architecture is able to reinterpret traditional Sundanese elements such as roof shapes, the use of wood, bamboo, natural stone, and the principle of harmony with the environment into a modern architectural form that is functional, adaptive, and contextual. The spatial zoning consists of public, semi-public, and private areas, combined with open spaces such as a plaza, inner court, music studio, and auditorium. The integration of these spaces supports social interaction, creativity, and cultural preservation. Thus, the Youth Culture Center is not only a participatory forum for the younger generation, but also a representation of modern, inspiring, and tradition-rooted Sundanese architecture.
