The designs cross the disciplines of ‘culture’ and ‘architecture’ in Malaysia. Cultural values play a significant role in everyday life for Malaysian community, reflecting a distinctive identity while promoting diversity. The proposals focus on core multicultural populations; Malay, Chinese, Indian, Bornean tribe and the indigenous. The main objective is to utilise architecture as a medium to promote interaction and connect different cultures in an active and conscious design attitude that physically and visually portrays integration.


Bicycle House

Floating House

A series of mobile dwelling units empower this new way of living; ‘Floating House’, ‘Flying House’, ‘Suitcase House’, ‘Bicycle House’ and ‘Train House’. Each deals with a different transportation type and cultural issue faced by the specific community such as performance, healthcare, gastronomy, and sanitation. Presented as an assemblage, the house experiments with interaction and communication across different cultures. The design research concludes that specialised study into each culture produced a segregated architecture, opposed to the integration objectives.

Chapter 2; Origin and Culture

The project uses social research to understand the different daily practices of each cultural group as the design methodology. The original hypothesis is that trends for nomadic living will continue to increase, based on observations from past and current events such as industrialisation and globalisation forcing people to become more mobile. The Malay people can be traced to the Austronesian region; Chinese and Indian populations were introduced during the colonial era, whilst the Bornean tribe and indigenous people are constantly moving through remote places in a similar nomadic pattern to contemporary mobile lifestyle.
