Advertisement
The primary intention of Rumah Malaysia is to facilitate an architectural system to tackle the lack of adaptability & sustainability of the existing imported housing typology from the west in the era of urban sprawling. Research looked at the Malaysian household and the ways to solve sustainbility issues related to this typology, proceeding to speculate that the future of the household would lean towards a trend of increasing social volatility, self-isoloation and economic diversification.. Hence, we have attempted to envisioned the ‘house’ of a ‘hypothetical Malaysian family through the assimilation of dwelling concepts of our predecessors who walked in the land of Tanah Melayu : Gua, Pasar, dan Balai.
The Canaanland
The vision of the Canaanland is based of the basics of human needs and wants. Dwelling into the context of Overpopulation and the invasion of Artificial Intelligence, this land manifest the adaptation of Pod-House (Private Space), On demand Parametric Urban Planner ( Temporary Public Space) and Jireh Factory (permanent space) with them regulated by AI depending from the demanded order from the Big Data.
Deprivatizing Urban Void in KL Golden Triangle
Thesis outline an existing solid-void relationship mapped on the upper part of Kuala Lumpur Golden Triangle, as the resultance of gated property boundary, disconnected circulation (cul-de-sac), and underutilized urban void, leading to the design problem, a malnourished perception of place. Instead of proposing an utopianistic design with sustainable measure and play-live-work efficiency, this research is rather an experiment of dimensional perception of space and path-space relationship, in relation to the formative process of an individual’s private mapping of place. Thus, the modifying site includes all de-privatized void as temporal urban infill rather than another insertion of solid into the urban fabric.
