APPLICATION OF THE TRI HITA KARANA PHILOSOPHY CONCEPT IN THE INTERIOR DESIGN OF WYNDHAM GARDEN HOTEL IN KUTA BEACH, BALI

Abstract

The island of Bali is the tourism icon of the Indonesian state which won an award as the best tourist destination in the world in 2021 which will make the island of Bali increasingly ogled by various world tourists. Unfortunately, for the Indonesian people, the inclusion of various cultures from other nations poses a threat to indigenous Indonesian culture that can threaten national identity. Balinese culture is very diverse, starting from the concept of architecture, the concept of life, art and many other things. The concept of life that is still thick in Balinese society is the concept of Tri Hita Karana. The concept of Tri Hita Karana is the teachings of Hinduism which is a concept of life that prioritizes balance. The method used is descriptive qualitative, the data collection is literature, and the design method uses the theory of Rosemary Kilmer. With the presence of the application of the Tri Hita Karana Concept in the interior design of the Wyndham Garden Hotel in Kuta Beach Bali, it is hoped that it can help introduce the cultural heritage of the island of Bali to its visitors, both local and foreign tourists, and contribute to preserving Balinese culture. In addition, this design also hopes to emphasize the concept of a balanced and peaceful life to its users.
