Abstract :
Semarang City is the capital city of Central Java Province which is
strategically located with surrounding cities. Being the fifth largest
metropolitan city after Jakarta, Surabaya, Bandung and Medan, this area has
a population of 1.7 million people. As the center of government of Central Java
Province, Semarang City is one of the cities that is a center of trade and
business which is classified as a National Strategic Area (KSN) so that it has a
role in contributing to the economic sector, namely industry and trade. The city
of Semarang has several activities held every year such as Dugderan,
Semarang Expo, Semarang Great Sale, Semarang Fashion Festival, Semarang
Fashion on The Street, and Kota Lama Festival, and so on. To accommodate
each of its activities, Semarang City should have adequate public facilities.
Ironically, there is no room that accommodates activities such as meetings and
exhibitions that are really feasible. The plan to redesign the PRPP convention
and exhibition hall is nothing but to improve the quality of the convention and
exhibition hall which is considered unable to optimize the existence of this
building. The purpose of elevating the high-tech concept is to extend the life of
the building so that it can continue to exist and can be used with the right
function. The plan to groundbreaking this building has also been discussed
since early 2020, but there are no signs of realizing it.
