KNITTING THROUGH SOLIDS & VOIDS

Project : Women & Children Rehabilitation Centre Location: Chow-Kit, Kuala Lumpur Design Strategy: The need to educate homeless women and children was much needed for the area and this project is ideal for this area as it provides them to be able to learn and be able to self sustain and be aware of their rights.

WOMEN & CHILDREN REHABILITATION CENTRE The concept “KNITTING THROUGH SOLIDS & VOIDS” for this project was derived from the site context.

The project serves to provide the women and children a place with love, openess and care. With this in mind, I learnt that in the site context there was the distinct black and white/solids and voids spaces. This further allowed me to translate my thoughts and what I wanted to provide for the user group.

Through further studies of the site and the user group, I was able to translate the design of “Knitting through Solids and Voids” into my design of the Rehabilitation Centre in such a way that it knit’s into the current context and yet makes an impact to be noticeable in this very olden part of Kuala Lumpur.

The concept has further derived in having a theme to each floor, by providing “Greeness” on the first floor, that carries on to the next two floors and that translates to “Openess” by providing skylights that open to the sky. This further moves on to providing spaces that are social on the Ground floor and more private as it proceeds.

The design process for this project was very overwhelming and I felt that providing a community space that helps to develop the community was what was much needed for the area.
