KONSEP MEDIATEK DALAM PERANCANGAN MEDIA CENTER SEBAGAI THIRD PLACE

Third place is any place we spend in our lives other than a place to work or home. It is a non-negotiable part of the workplace experience and very important to attract and motivate creative work we need to compete in the future. Library is a physical example of Third place, however, the existing library is not suitable for the lifestyle of creative class people because it has formal environment, strict regulation, and short opening time. Therefore, this study used the Third place theory as an approach to address issues of the lifestyle needs of creative class communities by referring to the standards of multimedia libraries. Third place provides flexibility in service, relaxed environment for exchanging information, develop ideas and creative thinking, and social interaction. The method used in data collection is divided into two categories, namely primary data and secondary data. Primary data is data obtained from the location of the issue, observed and recorded. While secondary data in the form of literature or references about the Mediatheque building are collected to support the process of compiling the program in the design.The design of Mediatek in Cikini, Central Jakarta has the concept of accommodating the need of creative class community for accurate information, opportunities to interact, develop relation, with multimedia basis.
