Art & Cultural Hub in Kuala Lumpur Creative Culture District (KLCCD)

Food is a crucial element in human life as people both live to eat and eat to live. Analysis of the site reveals that while people visit the area for its food, they do not fully appreciate its creative and cultural aspects. As a result, the decline in creative and cultural activities has led to population outflow and negative perceptions of the site. If these aspects continue to diminish, can the area still be considered a creative and cultural district?

Integrating creative and cultural aspects with daily needs will not only boost the economy and culture of the site but also create a sense of mystery.

To achieve this, the proposed program aims to introduce sustainable food printing, food origami and food design as the main activities that combine daily needs with the creative and cultural aspects. This program will make it possible for everyone to be an artist and chef.
