Study the application of “green building” on the aspect of the shape and facade LP2M UNNES building

In designing a building, the shape and facade have a very important role. Green building is a high-performance building designed to be responsive to the environment, economically sufficient profit, and as a healthy place to live and work (environmentally responsible, economically profitable, and healthy places to live and work). The concept of ‘green’ is not just a current trend, but must be treated as a basic principle when we start designing buildings. The characteristics that emerge from the design of the shape and facade of a building will form the image of the building itself. To find out the explanation of the concept of the shape and facade of a building, in this research qualitative research with content analysis method is used, through a study of the main building with a case study of the building of LP2M UNNES Sekaran Gunungpati Campus by applying descriptive analysis content. From the analysis study, it will be known that the building has undergone a transformation in the form of addition and subtraction. In designing environmentally friendly buildings is actually a process. The goal is not to make a perfect building, but rather to create a better building. One of the advantages gained in applying the Green Building concept is efficiency. In terms of the facade of the LP2M UNNES building, it appears that in the processing of the embodiment of the shape of the building, of course it is also influenced by material elements, color, proportion, rhythm, and texture. From these studies it is expected that the facade elements of the appearance of a building will show the identity and character of the building.
