DESCRIPTION Main idea of the conservation project is to revisit Wanda the historical building and bring back the original function of cinema which has been turn into a grocery shop. One of the significant faรงade of Wanda Cinema has been forgotten and become unimportant. This project is to revitalize the place through introducing several proposed new functions to the site and to provide a place which is attractive ,memorable and enjoyable for locals and visitors.

The site will include three main building which is cinema, and two other building design by my colleague - new photography studio and restaurant. The Wanda building is now a grocery shop , and I have decided to revert the building function back to its own original function which is a cinema. At the same time, proposing new space for photography gallery (due to new photo studio structure to be design by my colleague), rooftop bar and outdoor cinema/performance area for people to enjoy and relax. By having multiple functions in the building allow the building to be use in multiple way and to cater for people with different need. Aim is to preserve and maintain the faรงade of Wanda building , using protective coat ,plaster and paint as well as take down unnecessary signage. New design also should not change the appearance of the building perspective , remain the elevation as original. Most significant design changes will be the slope roof are extended as a new floor and will cater for new outdoor activities function. Steel system such as truss and beam are used in the construction. Existing wall is also reinforced with concrete and steel rod for better strength. Glass panel and aluminium composite panel are used as main element of the side and back elevation to give a contemporary look to the building.
