Idea 2
Sungai Buloh High Wire Museum Most of the leprosy patients in Sungai Buloh Settlement were once forced to made decisions whether to stay and leave home for treatment. The deciding moments where best fit with the metaphor of man on a high wire. Whether to embark on a risky journey and unknown future, or just stay at the beginning point. The museum are intended to create spaces which generate different atmospheres that represent different emotion through out their journey. There’s 4 spaces which are innocent, logical, darkness and acceptance. Each different space resemble different atmosphere and provide different function as well. The museum strive to provide understanding of how people separated from majority and strived to survived.

No Man’s Land
Group Member : Jowin Foo, Preston Liew, Joyee Lee, Edmund Tan, Thai Chee Yoong
Animal and mankind shared the same ground nor space on earth as a home to sustain the existence of their very own species. But for centuries of mankind perpetual strive to creates and reinvent their own human centric utopias that has neglected the coexistence of our fellow ally, the animals on earth. In the process of man-making their utopia to provocate their very own mythology of growth and progress, where it creates various issues like domination of spaces which it directly put some of our ally into the perks of extinction. We believe that mankind has the capacity to solve the population pandemic by claiming more lands and spaces that partially belongs to our allies then it is time to envisioned an intervention on making spaces for animals to foster its own habitats to prolong their livelihood.

Idea 5
Civil Battlefront
Group Member : Thai Chee Yoong, Eric Lai
Perhaps Law Enforcement Party are the innocent party standing in between the Authorities and the people. In a case of Malaysia, Police Force has been fit up with the term “Licensed gangster” in the society from the records. The relationships has even reach to a boiling point with several demonstrations happened throughout these recent years. However, there’s indisputable barrier up when the people trying to understand the police force, vice versa. There’s none any channel provided from both sides to communicate, hence, resulting a disconnected society while each of us share a same background despite one and only, occupation. Therefore, a redefine typology of a law enforcement department for these global rising cities is necessary. there should be a chance given for reconnecting people together once and for all.
