An Urban Intervention
Location: Kampar, MALAYSIA
Tutors: Mohd Shahrudin (Dr.)
Status: Academic studies
Design Statement
Situated along Jalan Ipoh-Kampar, adjacent to Dataran Muhibbah, this urban intervention project incorporates the concept of parasitic architecture. The idea is to merge Kampar’s Old Town, an existing structure, with a new design that reshapes the interpretation of Kampar’s landscape
In this context, parasitic architecture refers to a flexible and often temporary structure that integrates with and depends on existing infrastructure and built forms The aim is to offer the public an untold journey through Kampar’s Old Town, beginning with an interactive staircase that incorporates kinetic motion.
What if architecture relies on host?
Founded in 1887, the town lies within the Kinta Valley. It was a tin mining town which boomed during the tin mining industry.

The journey continues with the "Time Tunnel," enhanced with AR and VR technology, offering an unconventional way to share information. The experience concludes with an observation deck, providing a unique view at the end of the journey.

SELECTED PERSONAL WORKS
Humanitarian Work:
Teratak Semai of Perak’s Indigenous People. 28
ALTer: ALCOM Rescue Shelter. 30
Malaysian House: A Flexible House. 34
Humanitarian Work: Teratak Semai of Perak’s Indigenous People.
Location: Tapah, MALAYSIA
Tutors: Wan Srihani (Dr.)
Status: Completed
Involvement: Model-making
Design Statement
The concept of self-build housing involves traditional woodworking or carpentry techniques combined with modern methods. The Teratak Semai Project has clearly benefited the indigenous people (Orang Asli) community in three villages in Tapah, Perak, by providing them with the opportunity to learn these new techniques. Meanwhile, volunteers including staff, students, and alumni of Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) have gained insights into the community’s traditional carpentry skills and handicraft production
ALter is a modular unit incorporating ALCOM materials and scaffold framework, transportable solution, and configurations to promote life in resilient communities Measuring 3m wide, 6m long and 6m high with ground support, ALter aims to be easy to build and pleasant to inhabit allowing assembly by people with limited capabilities.
Malaysian House: A Flexible House
Kuala Lumpur Architecture Festival 2020/21
3rd Place Winner
Theme: Malaysian house
Design Statement
With the rapid concentration of populations in cities, available lands are exhausted hence housing flexibility becomes a key feature to transform our daily lives Housing flexibility has undoubtedly offered the possibility of not only spatial and structural modification of building to meet the standards set by users to accommodate the rapidly changing world but also the ability to be a factor in maintaining sustainability. By extending the construction lifespan of buildings, we can now avoid obsolescence which can unarguably guarantee continual utilization.
Hence, through this proposal, an art gallery/workshop + home has been envisioned to provide ease and tranquility during the process of making art itself. By referring to traditional, vernacular Malay houses and the ingenious adaptations of courtyards and air-well in Chinese architecture, a housing scheme is designed In terms of the housing plan, the design takes thorough advantage of earth contours to separate the spaces in terms of hierarchy
