Redefined by a robust structural language of shear walls and long span trusses, the architecture choreographs movement through a series of walls which frames and support the spaces nestled between them.

Conceptually, the building presents itself as an insular entity, deliberately disconnecting from the outside world and disorienting visitors as they step within.

Each space is envisioned as a metaphorical cage, meticulously curated to evoke varied atmospheres that aligns with the diverse escapist activities.

The thoughtful integration of distinct colours not only enhances the individuality of each space but also functions as an intuitive wayfinding system; reinforcing the narrative of escapism as a spatial experience.

The spatial organisation of the building is guided by a deliberate programmatic sequence, orchestrating a transition from the public realm of the street to the more introspective depths within.

The levels closest to the street serves as a porous threshold, mediating between urban activity and architectural retreat, offering a form of escapism that is more acceptable to public perception.

SekolahTerapung

‘Floating School’, a community library

Project : Tiny Library 2021

Type : Competition

Site : Kuala Sangga, Taiping

Year : 2021

Team : Syed, JY, Adzreel

Sekolah Terapung

Sekolah Terapung - a Malay word that translates to ‘Floating School’ in English is a community library that caters to the people of Kuala Sangga. The first word ‘sekolah’ or school in English references the village’s emphasis on education. The Poay Chee Primary School is the jewel of the village, and while lacking in resources, is still operating and represents the community’s value of knowledge. The word ‘Terapung’ or floating in English on the other hand refers to the houses that were built on stilts. Due to its geographical location, stilts are used to enhance the structure’s stability, improves ventilation and withstand flooding.

Made of timber and metal zinc, the community library is meant to project a sense of familiarity for the users as these materials are commonly used at the fishing village. The structure’s layering represents the tight-knit community and establishes a strong, stable landmark for the community of Kuala Sangga.

Kuala Sangga

A quaint little fishing village near Taping, Perak in Malaysia; Kuala Sangga is home to a small community of fishermen, residing in a row of wooden houses built along a narrow concrete bridge. Without access to water and electricity lines, the villagers live off rainwater and gasoline powered generators, feeding electricity to the village’s crown jewel, Poay Chee Primary School. Tourists are a common place in Kuala Sangga, many curious souls seeking to understand the simple lives of this tightly knit community This sleepy fishing village offers more than meets the eye.

Design objective

The library aims to provide a fun, collaborative learning environment for the children of Kuala Sangga, who haven’t had the luxury and experiences of the urban youth.

The library aims to prepare them for the outside world, when they leave to further their education; visiting educators will be invited to assist with school work and encourage extracurricular activities. The structure also provides the community with spaces to celebrate events and festivals together.

Community

Kuala Sangga is a home to a thriving, thightly-knit community that prioritizes education and development of their youth despite the lack of resources.
