EDITOR’SNOTE INFORMATION IS KNOWLEDGE; KNOWLEDGE IS POWER, the key that opens doors of opportunities for one to explore, experience and gain new insights in pursuing success.

For this issue, we met with several key industry players to learn more of their experience in meeting today’s market needs in respective industries.

B&I met with Ar Lenny Oh, a partner at CL&O Architects, who shared with us the knowledge and experience to design and build Eaton International School, complete with its signature metallic roof made possible by the proven performance and quality of COLORBOND® Steel by NS BlueScope Malaysia.

We also had a one-to-one conversation with Ms Michelle Eriksen, Jotun’s Global Marketing Manager, to learn more of Jotun’s global achievements and new milestones as the leading manufacturer and supplier of decorative paints and performance coatings across the globe.

Mr Tay Hao-Giang FIFireE also shared with us the importance of fire safety features when designing and constructing new structures, in his article “Design with fire in mind: Fire safety in healthcare facilities”.

In our Concepts & Designs section, we highlight the communal living social experiment in the form of micro-housing, a collaborative project

by KL City Hall (DBKL) and Think City, conducted in conjunction of the 9 th World Urban Forum 2018.

Lastly, this issue features the first article, out of a series, on China’s Belt and Road Initiative – giving you an exclusive insight on the much-talked-

MTIB

One Manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Waste, Another Manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wealth To many of us, rice husks, coconut trunks, oil palm fronds and empty fruit bunches are nothing but a pile of residue. But did you know that they can be turned into furniture and building materials?

For many years now, the demand for wood far exceeds the supply.

The biggest challenge has always been fulfilling demand without sacrificing our beautiful forests. Little did we know, the things we often regard as junk could actually be a solution to this problem. Possessing excellent mechanical and physical properties, wood made from agricultural by-products is not only durable, but also highly customisable in terms of weight, structure and density.

We at MTIB are committed in finding solutions to make both you and Mother Nature happy.

With MTIB, your wastes are not wasted.

MTIB is committed towards enhancing the sustainable growth of the Malaysian timber industry through various initiatives and innovations.

OUTLOOK

DESIGN WITH FIRE IN MIND: FIRE SAFETY FOR HEALTHCARE FACILITIES ‘FIRE’ - a seemingly harmless 4-letter word but in reality, fire has destroyed properties and investments worth hundreds of million dollars each year - a devastating loss to the industry and nation, which effects productivity and overall GNP. Most of all, fire has caused unnecessary loss of lives. Hence, fire safety is a crucial part of the building industry. Of all types of building occupancies, healthcare facilities are the most vulnerable as far as life safety is concerned.

A NOTE FROM THE INVENTOR Malaysia is a tropical country rich in rainforest and blessed with breezy weather all year round. Such a climate should be ideal for building comfortable houses without using air-conditioning units.

As we know, wind is an energy that is free of charge.

Finding ways and means to let the wind free flow into the house throughout the day and compress itself to cool room temperature will just be a great idea.

The observation of a mother feeding her child with hot porridge just triggers me this inspiration. Each time before she feeds, she will blow the spoon with hot porridge. This means her feeding action will compress the air inside her mouth to reduce the air temperature which in turn cools down the hot porridge. From this idea, I realize it is possible to design a comfortable house without using air-con units simply by providing small holes at the top portion of the internal and external walls.

As you may notice, the air inside most of the houses in our country is often warm and stuffy. Some architects even design an oven roof for the house. As a result, electricity consumption is increased due to high use of air-con units.

Our O-Stable Panel IBS System can help you build comfortable houses without the use of air-con units.

The proven specialized method is cross and vertical ventilation plus wind corridor.

O-Stable construction method will pave the way for our clients to build high quality and energy saving houses that have been verified by the faculties of UiTM with faster completion time as well as enhanced profitability. Your satisfaction is our utmost concern.

Think Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s micro-housing social experiment was conducted at the WUF9 Village, in conjunction of the 9th World Urban Forum 2018.

COMMUNAL LIVING: A SOCIAL EXPERIMENT Malaysia had the honour of playing host to the 9th World Urban Forum 2018, which was held from 7 - 13 February 2018 at Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre. Among the programmes organised in conjunction with the Forum include the WUF9 Village, a living laboratory showcasing the future of urban living in Kuala Lumpur and other metropolitan cities. Taking centre stage is the communal living social experiment, in the form of micro-housing, a collaborative project by KL City Hall (DBKL) and Think City.

B&I magazine took the opportunity to speak with Think City and Tetawowe Atelier, the participating architecture firm, to learn Atelierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more about the social experiment and the design Tetawowe micro-house prototype, which took three weeks concept of the micro-house prototype displayed to complete, arriving at WUF9 village. at the WUF9 Village.

Tetawowe Atelier has a passion in creating design narratives; what is thought to be raw materials taken from the site’s existing rain trees, the geometrical shape of a site that is reminiscent of Miro’s artwork, the way the owners would spend their lazy afternoon, birds on the wire, dialogues between the river and passers-by, a Beatles song, a banal job site depicted in a Kafkaesque dreamlike space - has been the source of inspiration for their designs.

In recent years, Tetawowe Atelier has decided to engage themselves in more public space-related and communitybased projects.

The Tianjin Binhai Library was built according to the Chinese Green Star energy efficiency label and has achieved two-star status.

TOP TO BOTTOM: The 33,700 sq m2 library, designed by Dutch architecture firm MVRDV, is framed by floor-to-ceiling bookshelves, which are staggered at different levels to form the shape of an eye socket, while spherical glowing auditorium at the center forms the pupil.

The library also houses education facilities, which are located around the periphery interior and accessed via the main hall. Subterranean rooms hold a large archive and provide space for book storage.
