Positive Space in Between General architecture design thesis prioritise buildings as iconic objects, thesis projects governed and motivated primarily with self-interests. However, through out my entire study in Master of Architecture, I specifically focused on cultivating deeper awareness of architecture in the way it should rather engage the completeness of the built environment, and not mere buildings that stand apart from each other. The underlying intention of this studio is to firstly bring greater contextual clarity, followed by each student’s thesis project fitting in the creation of positive space in-between, governed by the network of existing human relationships. Making the importance of space inbetween and relationships the core value of this studio, as students venture and explore differing ideas. For the thesis we as a studio takes the campus of University of Malaya as a precinct worthy of deeper research and study, for the thesis interventions of each student to be inserted within, after initial group design has first been brought to bear on the organisation of the current layout of the campus. During 4th year of M Arch, positive space in between is being explore vertically in affordable housing proposal in Kerinchi and hotel and resort proposal in Kota Damansara.
