war film museum PERSONAL PROJECT
A museum design project I did during my diploma of architecture back in Malaysia two interconnected imperatives combine to drive the design for - to embrace technology in generating visual impact, creating a choreographed ambiance with a crafted, stimulating physical experience.
a journey to re-encounter the second world war that consist of 3 programs : item exhibition , war film and cultural perfor journey is guided by the brightness of the light as the journey started in a dark environment and lighten up along . there are three main features i had emphasized in this building vertical shafts function as a passag e for natural light source and act as a structural supportive component , exclude the need of column going against the domino system leaving a more flexible space. filigree perforation allows natural ventilating and create access for visitors. water texture wall openings located along the exhibition attracts diffuse light through water feature into the interior
this is one of the favourite project that i did . with the 3 main features imposed into the building , these gave a whole new experience to the visitors Infact alot of my inspiration came from toyo ito’s design , i had took references from some of his buildings and looking forward to impose his idea in my design
30 st mary axe foster & partners
London’s first ecological tall building and an instantly recognisable addition to the city’s skyline, 30 St Mary Axe informally referred to as the Gherkin is rooted in a radical approach - technically, architecturally, socially and spatially. Generated by a radial plan, its energy-conscious enclosure resolves walls and roof into a continuous triangulated skin, allowing column-free floor space, light and views. The diagrid system that’s used besides giving it an interesting facade, is that the plans will be column-free, and it allows the maximum natural light through the building.
STATE OF ART PROJECT What drives me of 30 St Mary Axe is not only it’s outstanding spiral cylinder shape extruding out from the cubical standard form on london city, but the technology and design intergated into the building . despite the extraodinary exterior , there are various atria and space formed into natural social focus places for refreshment points and meeting areas. i love this approach that enhance public interaction ,creating common area/space A building that’s not only visualy aesthetic , but also environmental friendly and emphacises on common area for human interaction is the next drive in architecture
Sendai Mediatheque

“conceptually rooted in an idea of “fluid” space
flexibility is required in the architectural “hardware” that can respond to any development or can accommodate any program in the future. We have not changed our idea since the time of competition rather than a
ours is simple yet conceptual proposal consisting of three elements: “plate”, “tube”, and “skin”.
formalist architecture,
The “mediateque,” composed of these three simple elements, will serve as a place to unify the primitive human body connected to nature for example the vertical tube steel lattice columns that rise up from ground floor to roof, similar to the trunks of trees of a forest with the body that is part of the fluid electronic world.
I personally love The Sendai Mediatheque . the dynamic trunks as the supportive structure has challanged the domino system and made the space no longer being constrain by the columns . the elements that were imposed has made the building came alive and sort of ‘breaths’ . The building seems light and gives comfort to the users as natural lights were introduced and space were no longer constricted . parametric were introduced on the trunk structure to made this happened .Parametric design has redefine the era and brought users to a whole new experience on visual and physical .
COMPUTATIONAL DESIGN
Vivo City

ARCHITECTURE OF
FLUIDITY
The of Vivo City function may be the shopping centre, but this building demonstrates that with the right chemistry the results can be spectacularly far reaching. Toyo Ito explains about his works as the architecture of fluidity. It said thet in recent years Architectural Riviera has emerged on Singapore’s southern seaboard. VivoCity is counted and among the most lyrical and intriguing. Through this project Ito has fought assiduously to close the gap between publics buildings and modern life and modern society. He arouse the people’s primitive’s energy of life through an ARCHITECTURE OF FLUIDITY.
I admired the use of waves as a metaphor for the building form. it was literally applied and easily understood on a superficial level, and it goes beyond its aesthetic effects. As a spatial and programming tool, the seamless ebb and flow of fluid volumes lends itself well to the complex, often disparate functions of this vast, the most vibrant and lively spaces in the complex are the openair public areas, which includes the rooftop garden, the interior courtyards and the waterfront terraces. It is in these spaces that the metaphor of the waves revels in its artistry, at once playful, relaxed and poetic. The enhancement on the public space and the integration of fluidity fluid movement really had me amazed . in my opinion contemporary computational design has enabled architect to turn illusion into reality . concepts can now be translated . for most of the parametric design ,complicated algorithm are often needed . with contemporary computational design , a more complex design can be done to stimulate more potential in building design and create new behavior , activity and movement in building
CONTEMPORARY SCRIPTING
the serpentine gallery pavilion 2002
‘Why can’t all new buildings be this good? Toyo Ito’s magical summer pavilion at the Serpentine Gallery is a lesson in imagination.’ - Evening Standard
The Serpentine Gallery Pavilion 2002 appeared to be an extremely complex random pattern that proved, upon careful examination, to derive from an algorithm of a cube that expanded as it rotated. The numerous triangles and trapezoids formed by this system of intersecting lines were clad to be either transparent or translucent, giving a sense of infinitely repeated motion.
This is an very interesting project , I especially love how toyo ito played with the light . the light path is manipulated to create different kind of experience through parametric/digital architecture . throughtout the journal , i had find myself being drawn into these 3 aspects
fluidity + light + common area
