The Design Brief // Proposed Youth Community Centre.

The idea of the project is mooted due to the current on-going issues with regards to youth in urban and inner-city areas ranging from doing nothing to more serious but illegal doings. The youth need a place that has a sense of belonging and positive atmosphere with recreational facilities for respite and emotional outlet in the crowd urban space.

Thus, a philanthropist developer company ABC through their effort in collaboration with the Ministry of Youth and Sport Malaysia has decided to embark on youth-oriented project in the inner city of Klang, Malaysia.

The project will be focused on the development of youth skills, empowerment and means of providing self-expression and dynamic interaction. The project will also have different theme to cater to different youth nowadays.

Not many sculpturist surviving in Malaysia due to the lack of appreciation towards sculpture arts. Only certain famous sculpturist left in Malaysia. Lack of implementation of arts and culture in Malaysia’s education system increase the declination of sculpturist.

Therefore, in this project a sculpture centre is proposed to increase the youth’s appreciation towards arts. They are encourage to express the creative mind in this centre.

Kota Damansara have always been promoting Green City. So the programme will create a programme that can lead to: Reuse, Recycle and Upcycling

Story of the sculpturist interpretation of the workshop

The crystals represents stone minerals while the modern sculpture depicting how hman use the stone to carved assorted sculpture to express its surrounding and beliefs; The Angel (graveyard sculpture), Gollum sculpture (from Lord of The Rings movie), Owl (animal sculpture). All the sculpture mentioned indicate that stone sculpture were used from before until now.

Most of the sculptures during early time represents god and goddesses. The use of clay as vases, sculptures of the dead and cartoon. Example Mr Bean (popular comedy character). All the sculpture mentioned indicate that clay sculpture were sometimes used to express humour.

The beauty of these porcelain sculpture were largely contributed by the detail drawings and refined colours of the sculpture. So the workshop in this sculpture centre focuses more in painting on these porcelain vases for the youth to express themselves of the beauty of nature.

All of the sculptures shown were sculpted by famous sculpture. The Angel from the North (designed by Antony Gormley) represents the angels. The metal lion represents modern ways to sculpt animal form in interesting method.

From the picture, it tells the viewer that the plastic we used trashed the ocean, making the endangered species like whale and turtles decreasing by time. Blue plastic represents the ocean. The bottle plastic (top of the ceiling) represents the floating plastic that engendering the marine animal.

HOPEA OASIS // Home Transit Programme

In this semester, we were given a chance to do an Experimental Housing. The housing were focused mainly for the urban poor, or ‘miskin bandar’. The exercise for this semester is to provide these two group of people – the B40 and poor. Existing social housing schemes aimed for the two groups have turned into urban slums due to rapid urbanization. ‘’No one gets left Behind’’ is housing for the people who are taken for granted. This is an exercise aiming to adequate, safe and comfortable living environment for the community. Housing is not just about a place to stay, eat and sleep. It’s a living community as a whole.

ABE SAPIENS //Experimental Shelter

Snuggle between the woods and sea, a shelter for our character was proposed suits to the characters need. The beginning of our semester on understanding how and what a space can give to us. By choosing Abe Sapiens (famously known from the Hellboy’s movie). The character intrigued me when I first watch the movie because I always think how he actually live on land. And how unique it must be to be in his lifestyle.

Creating this shelter creates lots of process of understanding one’s need. How

Abe walks, eat, live, sleep and etc. the façade of the building mimic the rooting of the nearby trees by the beach since Abe is a solitary character and like to be in disguise. Abe has no bedroom area since does most of his activity underwater. The tank (in the middle where there is a spiral staircase surrounding it) is where he sleeps and do his reading.

This is the most personal project for me because it gave me the idea that, creating a space must have a meaning towards our client. What they need in it and how do we perceive it in our design.

Work Experience

Z&SR Architect //IIBF Masterplan //Event Hall & Instituition

I became fond of the concept of connectivity between building in terms of functions. We were asked to propose new building (IIBF) to the existing campus (Islamic campus thus have islamic architecture to its prior campus). Major issues that I had during this projects are the topography of the site, connectivity between buildings in term of functions, and how to make the complex visible from the adjacent major highway.

As the team leader, I took the initiative of carrying out site visits to study the topography and the possible new accessibility from the old and current one access to ensure responsiveness of our proposals to the current users.

Apart from that, this projects trains me to produce various masses and architectural language before creating the final product.

The facade is combine from islamic architecture and modernism (green architecture)
