Site: Pasir Penambang, Kuala Selangor, Malaysia Project: Fisherman Community Center Subject : DESIGN VII (year 2022)- Individual Work Supervisor: Ar. Embong Mohamad/ embong5863@uitm.edu.my/ +603-3258 6165

Also called as Eyes Of Prosperity, this building tackle the issue of poor mindset that the locals and youth have towards the main economic activity on Pasir Penambang. This has become and issue as the is less and less people interested on joining in this long standing culture of fisherman which has become the identity of this area. Thus, changing how people view the fishing community by showing them the beauty, hard works and strength of the locals has become the main target of this building. From the construction process to the maintenance of this building, the locals themselves are involved to each phases, creating a sense of belonging and attachment towards this community center, worthy to be called home.

What happens if we stop caring for each other ?

T T

hrough the pandemic, it is clear for humanity that home has to fit more function than just the for resting & shelter. Home nowadays are lacking one thing: FLEXIBILITY.

his design project are trying to tackle housing that allow the users to customize and adapt to the any sudden environment changes, making it long lasting and conducive for the whole unit. Tackling target users from Seksyen 23 Shah Alam which has an industry heavy environment, FLASK 2050 is the perfect home unit for people wishing to have the opportunity to expand their home without the hassle of relocating.

I

nspired by Kanchanjunga Apartments designed by Charles Correa, this design combines multiple socializing and community area using various staggering and layering technique.

This ensure that every spaces is unique for the residence to keep on using and sharing as a community. With this effort, it is hopeful to say that even with the rapid advancement of the digital age, the community at FLASK 2050 will always have each others back.

Initial Project Conceptualization & Sketches

“Human connections are deeply nurtured in the field of shared story.”

-Jean Houston-

T

he materiality of this building is kept humble and low profile, utilizing most of the material original appearances such as concrete and timber veneer. This is important to connect the user to a more natural and warm environment, as with the advancement of technology in the future, being surrounded by screen and digital environment ha become the norm. This raw and honest take on the building materiality is a breath of fresh air for the residence to release some stress of living in this industrialized zone

To increase the chances for the each units owner interact and collaborate with each other, 4 different level of interacting spaces are provided in a singular corridor. It increases the level of openness interacting with people from the unit nearest to the farthest.

Various activity that can be done such as tea time, study groups and gardening can be shared together within the neighborhood.

Flexible Community Hall Design Responding To Various Activity

A

s this building focus is to maintain and preserve a healthy amount of human connection and sense of community among the residence from different background, the community hall will become a very important feature in this residence to provide a common place for them to gather around and socialize. Thus, by taking advantage of the IBS system, the design of each module allow the internal space of the hall to be customized and assorted by different internal configuration. This allow various different activity to be held in a singular space, without facing much hassle.

Some of the activity proposed would be monthly garage sale events, Sunday’s market and recycling week where people from various background can participate in. The modular size of 1m increment ensures that each panel can easily be stored when unused.

Abstract Site Interpretation & Appreciation

Multiple technique is combined to compose this collage activity, each representing different element that can be found on site. The use of origami method, salt, bubbles and food coloring working together creates a complete narrative of the site. In an essence, this collage narrated the story that the true beauty of the site is being restricted by the authority and law placed upon the local and their stalls which are the key player that makes the site lively.

Freedom is given to visitor to customize their own fish ball recipe and flavor, in an environment that blurs the line between indoor and outdoor experience. The design of the building gives an elevated floating feeling to the visitors

Quarantine Activity- Hand Lettering & Typography Study When the quarantine first being enforced, the 1 month break was very unsettling and filled with anxiety and uncertainty.

This is especially true not just for me but for my studio mates as well. To our day to day activity more exiting, I decided to make a “One Day One Lettering Challenge”- where I would take a request from any of my friends to design a unique typography that represent;s their personality. At the end of this challenge, more than 20 custom typography were created, and I get to sharpen my design and artistic skills. Each of these artworks are illustrated on a 300gsm watercolor paper using mixed media such as watercolor, markers and pencil color.

‘Inner Turmoil’ - Watercolor Painting The idea for this painting is sparked when I lost a public speaking competition for the first time during my high school year. The drive home was extremely painful as I am expected to take the loss maturely, but the pain of loosing something that you have trained so much for is not easy to let go.

Thus, this painting metaphorically illustrates the numbness that someone can feel despite the calm and composed exterior that they presented. The glass pieces breaking of the body is a representation of the fragility of someone’s conscience in trying told everything in together.

Being compassionate and understanding is the best options as the persona is taking her time to heal and learn from the experience.

This project is executed during the pandemic in 2021 as there were many students dropping out due to the stress and lack of guidance from their seniors.

Through this project, I have gathered multiple skills such as video editing and animation using Premier Pro, public speaking and script writing. Overall, I have managed to inspire more than 1000 students to start their journey in Architecture.

One way that can lead to the idea is through connecting people through the diversity, where people would celebrate the difference of all people throughout the world.
