Contextual architecture is a concept in creating building designs and their aspects by taking into account the surrounding environment.

However, contextual architecture can also conflict with components in the surrounding environment. The application of the concept of contextual architecture in this study takes precedent studies on the Constitutional Court Building. From the precedent study, the discussion will be analyzed through the seven principles of contextual architecture.
