Unity in Diversity:
“Gymnasium Facilities� Aliff Zulhans (202864) Bachelor of Science (Architecture)
The site located at Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) which surrounded by the sports facilities such as rugby field and tennis court. With the steep contour which enables the building to blend in with the surrounding, blurring the boundary between inside and outside. There are two major intentions that tried to address – division block by space zoning and to reconnected between human, spaces and nature. The concept of unity in diversity has resulted in multiple connections with both the building circulation and the engagement of the surrounding environment. The transition between the spaces is emphasized through the design. The courtyard in the middle allows the natural airflow through the entire building.

+ The building entities surrounding the center produce an uncertain twist and flow, thus enriching the volumes. + Focus on openness and closure of the building, so they can develop community activation and interaction. A group of white box with different openness cleverly fit into the corner of an aging urban community.
All of the traffic stream organizations, space of inside and outside are around the heart of the building.
