ARCHITECTURAL HERITAGE STUDIES

18th Architectural Heritage Studies Exhibition Merging Asian Knowledge and Faith Through Architectural Revelations (MEKAR)

Sekolah Kebangsaan (P) Bandar Tinggi The Dawn of Enlightenment SK (P) Bandar Tinggi or Bandar Tinggi Girls School is a national primary school located at JKR 682 Jalan Abdul Rahman Andak in Johor Bahru City. The school is one of the earliest girls’ schools established during early 20th century. SK (P) Bandar Tinggi was a fruit of the pre-independence education movement in Malaya. A few key people were responsible for implementing and developing education especially for the girls. In Johor, they were Sultan Abu Bakar, Dato’ Ibrahim Munsyi and Ibu Zain. Implementation of Islamic value in designing the school can be seen through its application of passive design strategy with natural lighting and ventilation. It is heavily influenced by a hybrid of Malay vernacular and colonial architectural style. The first floor is wrapped with a series of modular window panel and covered by 2-tiered jacked roof with deep overhangs. The windows are fixed to the columns as horizontal centre pivoted panels where they are opened by pushing them upwards. This arrangement benefits the users by allowing cross ventilation across the building while protecting them from the glare and splatters of rainwater. The jacked roof allows stack effect to happen thus enabling the hot air to rise and exit the building while being replaced by the cool air simultaneously. Timber was used abundantly in constructing the school especially for the first floor and the roof structure. One of the main concern in choosing timber as the structure is due to its suitability with the climate and its efficiency in heat loss. Also, timber is widely used in the old days because of its strength with the application of the traditional joining or also known as ‘tanggam’. This joinery allows timber to be joint without using nails.

East Coast Gateway The rail link industry in Malaysia has entered a new phase which it receives an impressive response from the society. With a surplus of car usage on the road, train has evolved to become one of the main transportation mode for Malaysian. Back in the days only few states in West Coast Malaysia were equipped with train line. The line was mainly used for transportation of goods to different states. However, the main use of train line has evolved from transporting good to transporting passangers so people can travel in a shorter amount of time with reasonable expenses. The train station design is proposed for Mailaysia Rail Link to be a part of the East Coast Rail Link (ECRL) project which connects the East Coast with the existing train line in West Coast of Peninsula Malaysia. It is designed to accommodate travellers with sundry facilities including a commodial waiting hall, restaurants, business centre as well as a transit hotel. it is also designed to suit the development plan of Kuantan Port City (KPC) which aims for alternative to transport goods in large quantity from west coast to east coast of Peninsula Malaysia. ‘Station as a Destination’ is the main theme of Kuantan Port City station, inspired by the ambience from other international train stations abroad including St Pancras in London and Grand Central Terminal in New York. Both of these examples are famously utilised for not only for catching trains, but also for business travel and leisure activities. These activities enable an average train station to become more lively with ex periential retails thus becoming a go-to transit destinations by travellers. Designing a train station as a destination require a different approach with having diversified building programme. Thus, spaces such as retails, cafes, business centre and a small exhibition gallery are designed within the building to provide a variety of activities. Reflecting the existing site which is an industrial area, these proposed spaces will definitely bring good qualities to the station and potentially expanding Kuantan Port City as a preferred city as trading purpose in the future.

Site Synthesis

Site Planning Large opening is created facing towards the swamp for view and green pockets are used as natural noise barrier next to the track.

Sun Path Building facade facing towards the sun is staggered and treated with shading device to avoid direct sunlight

Sensory Large opening is created facing towards the swamp for view and green pockets are used as natural noise barrier next to the track.

Wind Direction Large open public spaces are placed and oriented towards incoming wind to receive natural ventilation

Target User Target users of the train station are industrial workers, commercial workers and the locals.

Site Issues

Design Concept

The site has no immediate context that can distinguish its identity thus making it less known to the non-locals.

It is reserved for future development, therefore the design should integrate the consideration of any new alteration and expansion

A practical construction method should be considered as a part of the site is located in swamp area

Design Intentions

Serve as a meeting place or transit for travelers who opt for an alternative to commute from the East Coast to the West Coast

Designed with considerations towards sustainability in order to achieve less impact towards the environment

Incorporating existing features of the site; the swamp to ease the construction and lessen the earth work

Food Hall The Business Node Georgetown is one of the main city for business and commercial in Penang Island. It is predominantly conquered by Chinese and Malay. Both races are mainly known for their significant skills in business and trading since the preindependence day. These skills has been the main factor that contributes and influences their lifestyle for decades. Most of the business are family legacies which lasted for so many years and being passed down to be run by their new generations. Youngsters working alongside old people in old shophouses is a common thing seen here. Most of the business are inherited to the young generation of today. Some inheritors would keep their legacy as similar as possible with what had been passed down by their ancestors but there are also who developed their business and keep it updated with new strategies in order to sustain in the new life style. The new lifestyle that we see today has somehow affects consumers’ choices, hence entrepreneurs must be be fully equipped with new skills to ensure their business sustain consistently. In order to cater the need of young traders, an entrepreneur hub is proposed as a gathering place for them. A place where they learn and upgraed their entrepreneurship skills as well as a platform for them to kickstart a brand new business. One of the main attraction of Penang is the street food. Therefore, the hub is provided to serve as a food based business node where people can learn and sell under one roof. It is accommodated with sundry facilities such as cooking studio, exhibition hall, alfresco dining with food truck compound, discussing area, exclusive cafe as well as coworking spaces. it is a great place to promote local food of Penang while enhancing the street culture of Georgetown. Penang is famous with street food culture with hawkers selling their goods and foods along the shophouses. The hub is designed with a generous setback from the front of the site in order to provide ample space for public and hawkers to socialize. The strategic location also gives a huge opportunity for them to be recognized as it is easily reachable via all sorts of public transportation.

Cherating Escape

Day Spa Village Inn Located a few steps away from Cherating beach, this village inn mainly serves as a day spa for the tourists as well as Cherating local people. The elements of Malay vernacular architecture are reinterpreted and implemented in designing this spa inn. The spaces are articulated according to the traditional layout hierarchy which prirotize privacy and good circulation. Combination of materials from traditional houses and modern houses like timber and concrete while being surrounded with greeneries definitely brings much more comfort to the guests. It is a budget friendly inn specially designed for travelers who prefer smaller yet well equipped place for their stay. Although it is small, the guests get to experience many activities with more privacy since the service can be more focused on every client at one time. Many comfortable spa facilities are provided for the guest, also for the locals who come for treatments and pampering sessions. It includes jacuzzi, sauna, footbath and outdoor yoga pavilion. This spa is a suitable place for couples to have a short vacation. There are special rooms provided with complete spa facilities for guest who prefer to get their treatments in private. Also, this spa inn serves many other facilities for the guests such as cafe with alfresco dining area, outdoor pocket treatment spaces and herbs garden which offers a unique holiday experience. This place is a perfect short gateway for some pampering while enjoying the view. Apart from spa service, this inn welcomes people for other activities as well. With a variety facilities being provided, people get to participate in any fitness activities including yoga and pilates while enjoying the view. The herbs garden is open for the public either by enjoying the serene view from the alfresco dining or by participating in harvesting the crops. It provides a good opportunity for the public to dive in more about the usage of herbs and plants in treatments while giving advantage to the inn to obtain income from the activity.

Cornucopia

Campus Port Cornucopia is a multi-functional port which serves IIUM community as a relaxing space with updated information about the school. It is accommodated with lounging space with built in storage where people can have a transit to have a short rest or to meet up. The port is an ideal response towards IIUM community’s concern regarding lacking of temporary shelter and information centre in the campus. The port is also equipped with digital gadget furniture which provides abundant information of the school including events, announcements and memos. The design resembles the shape of cornucopia which contrasts with the surrounding Islamic architectural styled buildings. The contrasting element is intended to attract poeple to the port. The original shape of cornucopia is derived into geometrical form to enhance its apperance and it is paired with different materials to suit the climate. Natural elements including water features and small plants are incorporated in the design to create a calm and pecaceful environment.

Pasak The intention of this project is to solve current issues in Malaysia such as social and environmental issues while creating awareness to the public. By providing a space, it gives ooprtunity for people to solve these issues. The structure is designed for easy construction so that it is easy to be installed and moved to various places. The conceptual idea of ‘Pasak’ is embraced by having flexible design which enables different elements to be connected. The flexibility of this prototype enables it to be utilised to cater for other functions besides two proposed typologies; learning centre and recycle centre. It also allows users to arrange the modules creatively according to the purposes of the activity and space availability. It serves as a medium that connects people as it provides a platform for the volunteers to contribute to the society. The two sites that have been chosen has different issues which enables the prototype to be demonstrated as multipurpose and flexible structure. A learning centre is proposed to be constructed at Chow Kit Road to provide a proper place for the homeless kids to learn especially on weekend nights where free learning is provided by volunteers. Another typology that is possible to be constructed using this prototype is a recycle centre, which is proposed to be located at Titiwangsa Lake Garden. The garden is chosen as it it one of the main place that is full with people on everyday basis and it is located near to any form of transportation, thus, making it accessible to the public. The prototype is proposed to be built with lightweight materials to suit its main purpose of having a flexible and mobile structure. It ismainly constructed with steel beam and column with H section and lightweight concrete slabs for floors. In order to protect the place during the day, the prototype is covered with a combination of tinted glass panels and adjustable louvers. Some of the sides are left open to allow access.

Flexible structure

Passive design consideration

Lightiweight materials such as I beam, collapsible louvers and modular furnitures are mainly use to achieve the intention of having a flexible temporary structure. They are easily assembled and are stackable which ease the installation and dismantle process. They are also chosen to ease the transportation of modules if it needs to be relocated.

Natural lighting and ventilation are achieved passively through the design of its facade and the selection of material. Being a temporary structure, the exact location to erect the structure is important to maximise the amount of breeze and lighting received by the

Recycled materials can be used to make arts and crafts at this space. This area allows people to have a small gathering to demonstrate ways to recycle goods.

Modulars are positioned in a way that creates a green pocket in between the structure. Since the modules are flexible, the length of the structure is adjustable to have a wide opening allowing more space for greeneries.

Structura

Mondrian Structura is the main theme for PAM Annual Architecture Student Work Exhibition 2017. Originated from Latin, the word structura means ‘to build’ which known as ‘structure’ in English, translated as ‘several parts that make up a building or an object’. Structure is also defined as the compositional relationship between parts or elements of something complex that in turn could be intangible. The design concept for our booth is inspired by Piet Mondrian art such as Trafalgar Square, Victory Boogie Woogie and Composition with Red, Yellow and Blue. His neoplasticism arts are mostly limited to specific artistic vocabulary in producing the abstract geometric arts which are translated as our ‘structure’ of the design concept for our booth design. The vocabulary includes three primary colours (red, yellow and blue), three primary value (black, grey and white) and two primary primary directions (vertical and horizontal).

The main idea is to design and construct a an exhibition booth within 1200mm x 2400mm x 2100mm boundary which resembles Piet Mondiran’s art style in 3D configuration. The design focuses on some specific design elements including lines, planes and volumes. While having the freedom to elaborate our design according to our desired theme, we are however being challenged to design with limited types of material sponsored by the organizers. Some of the materials provided are gypsum plasterboard, metal roofing, metal trusses as well as metal doors and windows frames. The exhibition booth is used to display students’ works from respective institutions. In order to design a booth that resembles Mondrian’s art, we focused on emphasizing some design elements such as lines, planes and volumes. Lines are interpreted with horizontal and vertical arrangement of metal door frames while planes are a series of quadrilateral gypsum plasterboards arranged in between the metals within the provided boundary. All elements are arranged in multiple layer in order to create a volume that would fill up the whole boundary. Some of students’ works such as sketches, renderings, and models are arranged in random quadrilateral size to be arranged within the composition.

KAEDFest16

Anamorphic KAEDFest is an event organized by Kulliyyah of Architecture and Environmental Design (KAED) annually since the past few years. As one of the largest event being held in IIUM, KAEDFest has always been one of the most awaited event by IIUM community. Students from different department under KAED united under one society (ARCHIMIC) spent their time and energy for months to organize the event. The uniqueness of KAEDFest compared to other events is that it has its own team specifically to brainstorm concept and theme of the event. There has been various themes being proposed for every year. The overall concept and theme would determine the overall design of the logo, installation and signage to be used for the event. These are the main weapon of KAEDFest to attract IIUM community to come and participate in activities held throughout the event. The installations are designed and built from scratch by KAED students and being placed in various places in IIUM campus to inform the community. Concept and theme crew has come out with an idea of using anamorphic illusion in designing one of the installation signage. Anamorphic illusion is an effect when you have to view a space from a specific vantage point to properly see an image that otherwise appears distorted. We had designed an anamorphic installation with ‘KAEDFEST16’ word appeared to be floating within a cuboid frame. Basic blocked letters are used as the design base with every strokes of the letter are elaborated into different lengths at different perpendiular direction to achieve anamorphic effect. The intention of using anamorphic effect in the installation is to spark curious within people who sees it and influence them to come closer in order to see the ‘real’ message hidden behind the illusion. The installation would appear as a confusing maze-like geometry from afar but it actually forms the phrase ‘KAEDFEST16’ when we look it from the right angle. A combination of lightweight materials such as parallel flange channel, nut and bolt and cable ties were used to achieve a strong frame structure while styrofoam and nylon cord were used to obtain the floating effect for the letters.
