T his Final Architecture Project contains formulations and explanations regarding the programming process of the Marine Exploratory building design which serves as a center for marine research, information and recreation. The Ocean Exploratory is designed to accommodate exploratory research on an international scale, especially in relation to the deep sea and to provide information and education to the public regarding the sea, which is packaged in a recreational area. The design of the Marine Exploratory is located on Jalan Cikidang Port Complex, Babakan Village, Pangandaran Regency. This area is located on the coast of the Pangandaran bay adjacent to the Cikidang Fisheries Port, Bulak Setra Beach and Pangandaran Nature Reserve, making this area very strategic for the development of a marine research center and recreation area. Things that must be considered in the design are the intent, purpose and typology of the building so that the community can easily recognize the building. So the architectural concept that will be applied is the metaphorical architectural concept of the combination of marine biota and marine mechanisms.
