Portfolio of studio project at Sentul East, Kuala Lumpur.
Sentul is a suburb located within the northern part of the city centre in Kuala Lumpur.
Sentul is a socio-culturally site. In development of this site, existing contextual and socio-cultural influences should be taken into account to create a development that is responsive to such influences, rather than an outright amputation and disengagement from the rest of the community of Sentul. The scheme, therefore , investigates notable socio-cultural elements of Sentul that are worth preserving, and subsequently identify strategies with which those elements can be preserved or even enhanced in the context of high-rise living that co-exist with the image and community of Sentul in the spirit of cultural preservation through architectural typology.
