noun 1. the division of something conceptually into two opposed or contrasted aspects, or the state of being so divided. “a dualism between man & nature” 2. the quality or condition of being dual : duality. Translations, word origin, and more definitions

“Something in-between. Not only between nature and architecture, but also [between] inside and outside. Every definition has an in-between space. Especially if the definitions are two opposites, then the in-between space is more rich.” – Sou Fujimoto

expressions. The connection between two spaces can be the program which carried main functions whereas the space between two spaces is the secondary that become part of the strong architectural experience. All this spaces will deliver different reaction and response due to the materials, proportions, scale, etc.

In between is a separate actions from one in to two spaces, at the same time, this line of in between serves to connect or unite in a relationship. One to one correspondence has occurs, buildings in between are now having conversation.

The architecture of Sou Fujimoto is my guidance during my design development in order for me to get the space interesting at the same time strip everything down to its essential quality and achieve simplicity. In addition, solid and void create an intermediate mood. Solid is a mass filled with volume, whereas void is an empty volume. Penetration of a space can be regarded as empty space entering into a solid form. Solid and void can be define by using uniform grid that maintain the clear system and emphasizing the rules of system. I have been using this idea to identify the spaces and emphasis a clear geometric system, both the design and the means of representing or communicating it, can be used to reinforce these ideas. Inside and outside is equal to void and solid. It carries the same interpretation but different feeling.

It could be spaces between the private and public, nature and architecture, inside and outside, solid and void, openness and enclosure, above and below, building and surrounding environment. By means of the architecture working through an in-between building creation which involve both user and context. It is all about the experience and feeling when something contrast meet each other. The relationship of in-between spaces can be interesting when the different volume of space with different programs happen at the same time with different users and experiences. The new expression and feeling of a building will be produce when the two things blend with one another. The con nection between these two spaces and the space in between the two spaces produce three kinds of

“Architecture is the art of the hollow; it is defined both from the interior and from the exterior.” – Pierre Von Meiss

Performing Art Centre

Jalan Bendahara, Malacca

Impromptu Performing Community The impromptu performance community meaning to be the main program that tights back the bond of community in Malacca. The impromptu performance that happens on the performing art centre is an informal activity. Impromptu performance creates a spontaneous community. Informal method is more popular compare to design-to-be most of the informal path, space and activity has been carry out a lot more that the formal licensed. Hence, open performance has been introduce into the design in order gor people to interact in the open space and allow spaces interaction. To have a clear interactive space, the feature wall is not just a featured elememt but also an element that seperate people from busy traffic. It is a background of the performing park, at the same time as a culture wall that capture every scene and moment that happens in the building. High sensitivity towards memories and recordingis depends on the program that has been trace back which is dondang sayang. dondang sayang meaning poem and music. They sing the peom as a love story, living content, etc. Dondang sayang is a daily activity that will happen anywhere, anytime with anyone.

Horizontal axis get from the faรงade line which is most crowded area of existing building in the past.

Vertical axis get from the most crowded back alley hawker stall now.

Intersection point form as the past and present meet each other.

View toward the existing building has been highlight to create a dramatic line.

Hence, from the point, it creates a new diagonal axis where the most hectic junction would straight face towards the site.

Points have linked as a connection to wrap the existing building in the new diagonal axis.

Brickfields, Kuala Lumpur

Site Analysis Writing According to Schumacher (1995) point out an argument of, “form need not follow function, building program and uses need not be expressed in the configuration of building in towns” (p. 297). Based on the analysis of Brickfields, by looking at the façade, the activities or programs inside the building hardly been identify. The original openings or windows had been shut off and seal which then leads to a situation of forms will not be affected by function. Same as the other way around. Besides that, Schumacher (1995) make a statement about, “Because all streets are the same, initial orientation changes and becomes disorientation” (p. 306). This orientation changes which also known as the initial purpose or function that relates back to the study of brickfields how the hawker stall use the streets as a space. Instead of having a continuous wall of space as a shelter or for business purpose, they make use of the pedestrian street as a space to carry out their activities. In order to dominate the urban setting and communicate the symbolic message, the spatial construction were bigger and higher i n scale on the outside than inside (Venturi & Brown, 1974, p. 314). To enhance the quality and unity of the street, the building were bigger and taller than the interiors. Likewise, the design of old architecture building in Brickfields show more façade than the space. The area of the elevation is bigger than the spaces of a building. The purpose is to emphasize on the fronts which identify and unify the megatexture. By studying about the interior oasis of the gambling room in Las Vegas, which the lighting in the casino achieves a new monumentality for the low space, the physical limits, expands and unified space have been obscured by the of controlled sources of artificial and colored light within the dark enclosures (Venturi & Brown, 1974, p. 320). This is the similar case in Brickfields but not only for the gambling room, it also relate to the brothel. The spaces experience is no like in the bounded piazza instead it is more towards a dark room with provides only an opening to the sky. The combination of darkness and enclosure of the gambling room and brothel make for privacy, protection, concentration and control (Venturi & Brown, 1974, p. 319). Nesbitt, K. (1965-1995).

The character of moyang mask and figure that been crave out is from folk stories. They see dream as indicators for future events. These are the present living of Mah Meri. They were once live as sea people along the sea. This indicate their initial living since Mah Meri is form as a whole. But due to the attack and invade from pirates. They were always been robbed and threatened to live on. This is the reason that the have no longer live as a sea people but it is important to flash back and trace back this missing piece which nearly been forgotten. This is how Mah Meri come together at the very initial moment. Therefore, weaving their past and to weave both past and present are to bring them together into oneness.

Technical Drawing

Building Technology

Semester 6, Studio

Objective The objectives Technical drawing is the bridge between building design and physical building form. While design represents an expression of the desired solution, technical drawings control the eventual physical outcome of that expression. To achieve this, all aspects of technical knowledge, from structural design, material choice, construction detailing to adherence to by-laws and safety and health requirements and building services for user comfort and well-being, should be cohesively integrated in the final design of the Architectural Design Project.
