naturally manmade

BACKGROUND The brief of the project is to design a public library in @Bandar Tun Hussein Onn housing area. The site features a lake and a steep slope and flat ground.

The main intention of this building to bring the people of the community together and acts as a point for them to interact and socialize. As activities such as jogging and exercises are present in the site, with this building, it introduces another activity which is reading.

SPACE PLANNING The spaces are distinctively separated into 3 zonings: the main entrance, the gathering area and the reading area. All these spaces encourages communal interaction rather than solitude, hence the arrangement and open plan.

Almost 50% of the whole building is placed on top of water to furthermore appreciate the clarity and calmness of the lake. floor plan

CONCEPT To learn, a human is best to be in a natural environment, which is why the concept of the architecture is naturally manmade, to create natural environment using architectural elements such as louvers and column to represent trees and abstraction of leaves.

BACKGROUND In the fourth semester in my architectural degree, the design project was to design a office for a specific client which we picked by our own since the client analysis until the end product.

The site is located three meters below road level next to a round-a-bout. The site features a large drainage with a slope that extends from the road. The original usage of the site was a tiny plantation ran by a foreigner.

CONCEPT

The spaces are distinctively separateled into 3 zonings: the main office building, a cafetaria and a gallery /discussion area by noise and privacy priorities. The organisation follows a datum pattern where each and every space is connected to the main courtyard.

Using the plants that were present during before the architecture is built, a preservation of the plants can be made and a new culture of doing plantation in the office can be achieved by the company and the employees themselves. Another benefit is the reduction of C02 Emission of the building and increasing the quality of gas intake.

The patterns of the courtyard was inspired by the electrical patterns of how does a motherboard work or any electronic device works. At the same time, it acts a gutter to carry water out to the large drainage that pour from the road above via the slope.

Open floor plan design to encourage openness and transparency of the company at the same time increases communication that can be done between workers to increase efficiency.

terraforma school

BACKGROUND Waldorf education is the system that was introduced to us in our semester five. It is a education system where students do not learn in the classroom only, specifically not just theories.

It teaches children on how to plant trees, how to grow crops, cut a wood, handicrafts, etc. and most importantly, students are filled with excitement when they are going to school.

In this project, we were to design a kindergarten school for children ranging from the age of 4 - 6.

SPACE PLANNING The spaces are divided into 4 strips, each with different functions.

But in general, they are separated into: canteen and office, classrooms, art and music classes.

Each of the strips are connected by a joint: hardscape pathways, multi-level slope and stairs pathway and terrace overlooking the lake.

The purpose of this clear division of spaces is so that when an activity is being carried out, it does not disturb another activity that is going on as well. For example music and workshop, music and science class and so on.

The classrooms will not be filled only with chairs and tables. But there will musical instruments, kitchen for cooking, plant nursery tools, dining table, as well as black board.

CONCEPT The main concept is to make the whole architecture invisible, blending into the earth into a single entity. Forming spaces underneath the ground as though they are inside the ground itself.

Since the ancient times, people have been close to nature and they evolved tremendously since primal being to a modern scientist like Einstein. Nature environments aid in learning, absorbing knowledge faster than we know because it involves most of our human senses like sight, touch, smell, etc.

However, the school can only be visible from one angle, which is the lake signifying difference in perspective. A building that is completely invisible in one angle can be completely visible in another angle.

kinrara refugee camp

02

BACKGROUND The number of refugees has been increasing since the rise of natural disaster due to global warming, war or politicial issues resulting in refugees seeking asylum in neighbour countries.

refugee house

However, most of the countries do allow the refugees to stay in their land, but do not promise to provide nor take care of the them which is may prove to be a huge problem to the people.

SPACE PLANNING As a refugee camp needs several security layers and different spaces for different groups of people, the spaces are divided refering to the amphitheater in the site.

The amphitheater represents an area of which people are given a chance to speak out their mind, to make everyone as a judge to listen to what they want to do in the future in their asylum country and at the same time, it is used to accommodate events or cultural sharing activity.

market & canteen

The first strip on the outest part of the building acts as a wall (barrier) to constrain others from simply entering the site without permission and it houses activity and accommodation for the staffs and market.

The second strip is the void, which connects the wall and the village, in this area, the refugees, the staffs and volunteers meet and will have intimate bonding session.

The last strip is the village, simply is the village for the refugees to stay comfortably and learn skills easily. relaxation area

CONCEPT After the space planning, realising that the height requirements for each spaces in linear is gradualling increasing from space to space, hence the smoothing slanted facade from the front.

Several units from the staff residence is repositioned so that transformation can be achieved.

The main focus of the whole site is being directed towards the amphitheater which is the main gathering area of all events or volunteer lessons or everything else that involves human social activity.

Activities provided to learn in the building are basic human needs such as to make food, construct house, or to taylor. Each activity or skill will have a more detailed and delicate skill such as harvesting, knitting, material selecting.

The site is situated next to a beach where the grounds are unevenly shaped with a lot of tiny hills and valleys which reminds us of Grand Canyon.

The Podium area is shaped like a giant valley that is substracted from a rectangular box. The tower is then aligned to the shaped of the canyon to gain max. sunlight and to avoid wind tunnel.

Facade of the tower and the structure of the podium are generated from from a parametric or blueprint kind of lines from that of Grand Canyon.

solomon islands beach villa

BACKGROUND Project is situated at Solomon Islands in which the client wants to focus mostly on the resort housing / retreat house. There are 2 other types for this series.

The design is crafted by refering back to the basics of architecture, point; line; plane. Which results in simple lines which creates blocks that intersect with one another. The main intention of the design is to accommodate a family by having 4 rooms, all facing the sea.

The same applies to the living room, play room and the dining area. The main challenge of the design is to apply a conventional hip roof on the design.

BACKGROUND Located in the heart of Nilai, a site with unique features consisting of subtle slopes and golf course.

The concept of the architecture revolves around the idea of combining a series of spaces with different priorities or importance into a singular circulation. Linear, yet rich in experience right from the start of the journey until the end.

Bird’s nest is the main concept for the exterior form of the architecture. Signifying unity, growth and harmony which tallies with PNB’s value.

By swerving all masses into a single strip, forming a continuum, like a bird’s nest, the architecture is created. Followed by a series of distortions to tally for the spaces required for each activity.

BACKGROUND The design intend to create a destination of social integration for the existing multi-cultural communities in the neighborhood.

Allowing this site as a kick-starter for social breakthrough in creating a community without boundary.

Having said that, the design intention is to marry each identity of different communities, creating a continuous loop of cultural interaction, allowing each to learn from another, and crafting a new hybrid of a better and stronger bond of one community.

The idea is to incorporate series of event hubs for carnival purposes as to facilitate interactions of similar and different culture as surrounding buildings were designed as self-isolation element.

We believe this design could draw each isolated community to a point where they could be connected with people of different walks of life thus learning from each other’s differences, turning each individual to a better self, and later a community of sympathy.

BACKGROUND Due to the current global warming, industrialization, mass development, the earth has been decreasing in green zone.

Research has shown that the earth undergoes tremendous changes every decade. Which means by 100 years later, the earth will almost be completely foreign to our human senses.

In 100 years later, our earth itself will lose quality oxygen, could not retain its current temperature for living, loss of thousands of species or even worse, extinction. The condition of the earth will be very harsh to live as the number of food is almost zero. We propose a capsule in the current time so predict, remind so that this will not happen.

rethinking cities @ cemetary 2016 hypcup competition

BACKGROUND The design approach is to try to break away from the norm of burial system, trying to rethink a design for the future of cemeteries in relation to the rapid global urbanisation, by presuming a scenario where rapid and mass urbanisation that will eventually first, taking away existing common areas for development of buildings, then finally infesting cemetery zones for development.

We presumed that in future, development would eventually be taking up all usable ground spaces for development. Thus, leaving just only ‘negatives spaces’ that could not be used for development. In this proposal, we take reference of the volume sandwiched between Light Rail Transit (LRT) and ground under the LRT. The idea is to provide a rethinking process of design by ‘cross-breeding’ the peoples’ scepticism of cemetery spaces and negative spaces under the LRT, forming a new hybrid of architectural piece as a solution for the future city where there would no longer be any land available for cemeteries and also common activities.

hall of ivy competitions.archi amsterdam children playschool

BACKGROUND A competition based in Amsterdam, Netherland which is to design a ‘Play School’ next to a river on a concrete platform extended towards it.

Our interpretation of ‘Play School’ involves open spaces both interior and exterior. The design approach is to create school spaces unique to each other in ways as such coloring, building elements, leveling as well as views.

By having a raised platform, placing the school at the top, public spaces and cultural activities can be accommodated as well in the evening or weekends.

The design enables students to explore around the school playfully where classrooms, office, playground and fields are designed in such a way that it is intertwined.

Activities proposed shape the form of the school, having a sloped outlook and semi-arch column to optimize space usage and implementation of neighbour architecture elements.

THE SITE

BACKGROUND Facing both contrasting disaster such as draughts and flood in The Village of Tanaf, it is crucial in this sense that architecture comes in as a solution to this and as a place to house a dedicated space for sacred activities.

THE BODY

The form of the building are a result of form addition and substraction.

In this design, we are planning to collaborate with Warka Water as their creativity and innocation have proven to be very effective and efficient in Africa.

THE LAYERING

PATH OF LIGHT

The concept of the design, to split the site into 3 types in accordance to human relationship with human, spiritual being and environment. Each to accommodate different activity on different levels whilst tackling the site problem at the same time.

In summary, the site can be divided into two noise level, each characterised with different architectural elements. A rather more noisy area, commonly used by the folks to conduct humanly activities such as cooking, communating and other social activities as well as a platform for charity movements. Silence on the other hand, are dedicated for sacred activities. To communicate with higher beings, to meditate or to dwell in own mind.
