UNPRI Architecture Excursion to Taman Simalem Resort: Exploring Design in Harmony with Nature

A Tangible Form of Field Study in Understanding the Implementation of Sustainable Architecture within Extreme Contoured Terrains.

To kick off the 2026 academic calendar, the Architecture Study Program at Universitas Prima Indonesia (UNPRI) successfully conducted a Study Excursion to Taman Simalem Resort on Saturday, January 10, 2026. This activity marks a significant milestone in implementing field-based experiential learning for UNPRI Architecture students.

Guided by lecturers such as Dr. Meyga Fitri Handayani Nst, S.T., M.T., students explored various architectural design references, ranging from buildings harmonizing with nature to landscape arrangements utilizing the contours of Lake Toba. The excursion focused on interior design observation, space management, and landscape planning, encouraging students to link theoretical concepts with real-world practices.

"We hope students can enhance their insights, creativity, and sensitivity to spatial design quality through this study excursion. Field experiences are irreplaceable by classroom theory alone. Seeing firsthand how an area is designed by considering function, aesthetics, and harmony with nature is an invaluable lesson," stated Dr. Meyga Fitri Handayani Nst, S.T., M.T.

This contextual learning initiative reflects UNPRI's commitment to SDGs 4 and SDGs 17 by providing applicable and relevant education.
