Sustainable Pharmaceutical Harmony

Integrative, Collaborative Architecture Rooted in Majapahit Heritage

Department of Pharmacy Building
Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Brawijaya

The Department of Pharmacy Building at Universitas Brawijaya is envisioned as a monumental, green, and human-centered academic icon. The design integrates the heritage values of the Majapahit era through a clean white façade accented with andesite stone, modern grey tones, and terracotta elements, while presenting a translational and integrative architectural approach that supports education, research, and interdisciplinary collaboration.

The six-storey building adopts a modular structural system and features three inclusive lobbies, open balconies, breathable corridors, and a naturally lit auditorium. West–east façade innovations — including sun shading devices, planter boxes, and concealed air-conditioning systems — enhance both environmental performance and visual aesthetics. Collaborative spaces such as coworking areas, gazebos, and generous green open spaces foster a social, pedestrian-friendly environment.

Supported by sustainability strategies including rainwater harvesting, solar panels, and locally sourced materials, the building serves as a monumental gateway representing Universitas Brawijaya’s vision toward becoming a world-class research university.
