The Information Center is a very important place in the delivery of information about Borobudur tourism. As an anchor of information, the Information Center must have the values contained in the philosophical meaning of Borobudur, and be a place for visitors to interact. The Information Center is also a means of preserving local culture and customs.

Borobudur Temple was designed through three main concepts namely MOON (mind), LAKE (natural-human relationship), and LOTUS (life).

PHILOSOPIHCAL

Borobudur Temple consists of three main parts namely arupadhatu (head), rupadhatu (body), and kamadhatu (feet). The Information Center is designed to have a tripartite shape adjusting the structure of the temple space.

FUNCTIONALITY

ZONATION CONCEPT

The zoning function of the Information Center symbolizes the philosophical level of the Borobudur Temple. Zoning is divided into three main groups.

1. Arupadhatu (main), are the main functions that are accommodated such as information areas. 2. Rupadhatu (middle), are supporting functions such as the visitor lounge, administration room, management room. 3. Kamadhatu (low), is a service function of buildings such as reception, prayer rooms, and bathrooms.

STRUCTURE AND MATERIAL CONCEPTS

The main structure of the building uses concrete and wood, especially the intercropping structure commonly used in Joglo houses. Other materials used include glass, natural stone, brick, and shingles. The concept of material is locality and sustainability so that all materials are obtained from building material providers around Magelang and Yogyakarta with a travel distance of 3-14 km and a travel time of 10-90 minutes.
