PANGKOR ISLAND ARTS FESTIVAL • 13th - 15th Sept 2019 • UCSI University’s Interior Architecture students had this very opportunity; to understand and connect with the fishing community in Pangkor Island. They took fishing huts as sites to investigate the ‘mechanism’ where things (object, activity, space, etc.) form a system of living. Additionally, they worked together with the local fishing community during the process of data collection.
• In their design studio project which they presented in the Pangkor Story House exhibition, they documented the main types of fisheries, how they operate from on shore to off shore, fishing huts and/or on vessels and how things (tools, equipment, space, fish or food, etc.) come together to form a system of living for the fishery industry.
