Manusia adalah makhluk sosial yang seringkali melakukan sebuah perjalanan, hingga keluar dari lingkungannya. Perbedaan masyarakat yang menempati suatu wilayah akan mempengaruhi budaya yang dihasilkan, baik itu intangible maupun tangible. Terkait hal tersebut, suatu perjalanan seringkali melalu rute panjang yang membutuhkan tempat beristirahat sementara (disebut rest area), yang diletakkan di titik-titik lelah para pelaku perjalanan. Rest area merupakan salah satu ‘gerbang’ ketika pelaku perjalanan memasuki suatu daerah tertentu, sehingga rest area harus mampu merepresentasikan budaya setempat karena rest area digunakan sebagai salah satu perwujudan identitas daerah. Konsep Arsitektur Regionalisme-Kontemporer dipandang sesuai karena melalui konsep ini akan digali karakteristik wilayah setempat untuk dapat diterapkan dalam perwujudan suatu desain, sehingga mampu merepresentasikan identitas wilayah, tanpa meninggalkan visi tentang masa depan (modern). Konsep ini akan diterapkan dalam perencanaan rest area yang berada di Jalur Jalan Lintas Selatan (JJLS) di wilayah Purworejo, Jawa Tengah.
