FORT MARGHERITTA IS ONE OF THE HISTORICAL BUILDINGS IN SARAWAK DATING BACK TO THE RULE OF CHARLES BROOKE. HOLDING ONE OF THE KEYS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF SARAWAK, IT HOLDS A LOT OF STORIES THAT ARE STILL BEEN TOLD UNTIL THE MODERN ERA. THE VALUE OF THE ARCHITECTURAL, AESTHETIC, AND ESSENCE OF THIS FORT STILL REMAINS TO THIS DATE
IN CONJUNCTION WITH THIS HISTORICAL FIGURE, THE “FOOD OVER FESTIVAL” IS GOING TO BE HELD USING THE CONCEPT OF “THE HEARTH” FROM ONE OF THE ETHNIC IN SARAWAK, KELABIT, THAT FOCUS ON INTRODUCING THE TRADITION OF A MULTI-RACIAL COMMUNITY IN SARAWAK GENERALLY, EACH OF THE ETHNIC IN SARAWAK GOT ITS OWN HEARTH THAT SERVES A SIMILAR FUNCTION WHICH IS THE CENTRE OF A FAMILY OR EVEN A COMMUNITY BERAMBEH, IS DERIVED FROM THE MALAY SARAWAKIAN LANGUAGE WHICH TRANSLATES TO GATHERING AROUND, RELATED TO THE DESIGN CONCEPT.
THE SIGNIFICANCE BEHIND THIS CONCEPT, IT’S RELATED BACK TO THE TRADITION WHERE THE FAMILY WILL MEET, COMMUNICATE, AND INTERACT WITH EACH OTHER CREATING HARMONY, WARM AND BEAUTIFUL MEMORIES INSIDE THEIR HEART TILL THE END OF THEIR LIFE. APART FROM HAVING THE HEARTH THAT SERVES AS A CULTURE CENTRIC VIEW OF THE EVENT, THE VERNACULAR ARCHITECTURE OF BARUK HAS BEEN IMPLEMENTED INTO THE DESIGN AS A SHADING DEVICE FOR THE EVENT SPACES BY USING THE CIRCULAR PART OF THE BARUK, THE DESIGN EMPHASIZED THE CENTRE OF THE EVENT TO GIVE MORE EXPOSURE AND KNOWLEDGE TO THE AUDIENCE ON THE CULTURE OF SARAWAK
The HEARTH is placed in the middle of the stage to symbolise the gathering's spirit, where the heart reunites separated groups.
Implementation of duality concept is shown through the roof design to show sense of openess and closureness
The hierarchy of the seating arrangement aims to maximise the amount of space available for the seating area while offering various views towards the stage.
The seatings are using the modular architecture and been arranged in centralized organization.
The backdrop stage is designed by arranging partitions of bamboo's cross section to create an abstractive light illumination
