Abstract

Indonesia is located on the edge of �Ring of Fire�, causing it to experience a high rate of natural disasters as the Ring of Fire is also where 90% of all earthquakes occur. Beneath Indonesia is where three major tectonic plates � the Pacific, the Eurasian, and the Indo-Australian meet. Thus, as a country with a very high disaster-risk level, Indonesia needs to implement a more effective mitigation strategy that can be thought to society. This paper will present an interactive earthquake and tsunami museum design idea to promote architecture as an effective mitigation media to educate the society regarding natural disasters, most notably earthquakes and tsunamis. Through the outlines of the design concept, it is expected to transfer �vehicle for three dimension� messages in the mitigation process as information, communication, and public education. To solve the design problems, it uses a symbolic approach and applies the concept of interactive activity programs in spatial sequences. The goal of the program is to bring a more significant impact in communicating the mitigation process for the community at any groups and hoped the impact of natural disasters can be reduced in the future.
