INTRODUCTION
“ GREETINGS ! MY NAME IS ZHI MING AND I’M CURRENTLY PURSUING MY MASTER’S OF ARCHITECTURE IN MALAYSIA. I AM INTERESTED IN IDEAS OF PLACEMAKING AND HOW ARCHITECTURE CAN BE A PART OF LARGER URBAN NARRATIVES. THEREFORE, I HOPE TO FIND THE RIGHT BALANCE BETWEEN GLOBAL

APPROACHES AND LOCAL EXPRESSIONS, TO DISCOVER ARCHITECTURE THAT IS RECEPTIVE TO THE NEW YET RELATABLE TO THE EXISTING.
2020: INTERNSHIP AT VERITAS DESIGN GROUP (2 MONTHS) ALTHOUGH TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENT IS SOMETHING TO BE LEVERAGED, I BELIEVE THERE CAN ALWAYS BE A PLACE OF BALANCE BETWEEN DATA DRIVEN DESIGN AND THE IRREPLACEABLE HUMAN TOUCH. THEREFORE, I ENDEAVOUR TO PRODUCE DESIGNS WHICH ARE NOT JUST TECHNOLOGICALLY DRIVEN, BUT ALSO BENEFICIAL TO BOTH THE MENTAL AND SPIRITUAL WELLBEING OF PEOPLE.
FINALLY, I LIKE TO KEEP AN OPEN MIND TO CONSTANTLY GROW AND BE A PART OF THE CREATIVE PROCESS. AT SUCH, I WOULD LOVE TO BE A PART OF AN INTERNATIONAL AND DYNAMIC ENVIRONMENT WHICH CONSTANTLY EXPLORE IDEAS FROM DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES. ”

“Due to development, A limestone hill has been split apart, causing a kind of separation. To reinitiate a dialogue, the proposal suggests a typology which “lodges itself” to recreate a relationship between both sides of the hills, both spatially and symbolically. Together with a dynamically changing plan and shaped section, the spatial transition is animated with artefacts and fossils which once existed in the hills.”

“Capturing the community cultures of planting in Kampung Bharu, the proposal endeavors to turn an element of everyday life into a celebrated event. As a place of exchange between the city and the village, the utilization of Green plots and Hybrid urban forms will activate the educational and communal programmes, housed within a Dynamicallyshaped Timber Louvered Roof evoking reminiscent local forms.”

VERTICALITY AS RESPONSE TO HORIZONTAL “SATURATION”
“Sandwiched between two urban forms, the site calls forth a response to the horizontally dense and crowded environment of the Pudu Wet Market. Utilizing Verticality as a strategy, the proposal suggests to reduce density per floor in exchange for an increase in habitable floors. This will not only maximize views, but also provide relief as a vertical dwelling from the surrounding overcrowded environment.” DEVELOPMENT DIAGRAMS

“ Despite a vibrant cultural programme, navigating the urban realm of the site is a fast-paced and restless experience. Drawing inspiration from traditional Kite flying culture of Wau in Malaysia, the proposal celebrates the idea of restfulness and relaxation. This translates into a spatial approach of a new plaza, urban nodes, and spatial galleries for moments of pause and slowed movement, while programmatically enhancing the art culture identity of the site. ” MASSING RESPONSE
