WHY NOT
Reintrepreting Design Typology
WHAT IF WE TRY LIKE THIS? WHY DONT WE MAKE IT FLOAT? WHAT IF ROBOTS BUILT IT? CAN IT BE FULLY AUTOMATED? WHAT IF WE MAKE IT EASIER TO DISSEMBLE? WHAT IF WE LOOP THEM TOGETHER AS SOCIAL RIBBON? WHAT IF WE PUT AN OPENING HERE? DOES THIS LOOKS BETTER WHEN LOOKING AT IT FROM THE GROUND FLOOR? WHAT IF WE MAKE 2 FLOOR INTO 1? WHAT IF IT CAN BE RENTED OUT? WHY DONT WE MAKE IT DOUBLE VOLUME? LETS MAKE THE SERVICES SEPARATE? WHAT IF ALL THE COMPONENTS IS REPETITIVE? CAN IT SELF-BUILD AND SELF-DISMANTLE? WHAT IS MOBILITY? HOW TO MAKEPEOPLE GO UP? MAYBE WE TRY 45° CIRCULATION? WHAT IF WE PUT STAIRS AT EACH LEVEL? WHAT IF WE MAKE IT SPLIT LEVEL? WHAT IF THE LOBBY IS ABOVE THE ROOF? WHAT IF WE LIFT UP THE LOBBY AND PODIUM? WHAT IF WE MAKE THE GROUND PLANE FULLY POROUS AND OPEN TO PUBLIC? WHAT IF WE PUT PROTECTED TEST ROUTE SURROUNDING IT? WHY DONT WE PUT A COURTYARD HERE? MAYBE THE FACADE CAN BE MADE KINETIC? HOW TO MAKE IT MORE EFFICIENT? WHAT IF WE SPLIT THE BUILDING INTO 2? WHAT IF WE OPEN THE CENTRAL ATRIUM? WHAT IS AFFORDABLE HOUSING? HOW TO BEST MINIMISE COST? DO WE REALLY NEED SO MUCH CIRCULATION? WHAT CAN WE DO TO INCREASE EFFICIENCY? WHAT IF WE MAKE IT STACKED ON TOP OF EACH OTHER? WWHAT WOULD YOU THINK ABOUT THE 3-STORY WALKWAY? HOW DO WE MAXIMIZE CRIME PREVENTION? WHAT DO THE RESIDENT WANT? WHICH IS MORE IMPORTANT, VIEW OR PRIVACY? HOW CAN WE MINIZE PARKING? WHAT IS THE MOST EFFICIENT PARKING LAYOUT? CAN WE STACK EACH PARKING ON TOP OF EACH OTHER? WHAT IF WE MAKE A SCISSOR TYPE RAMP? WHAT IF WE MODERNISE THE KAMPUNG HOUSE AND MAKE IT VERTICAL?

To built or not to build?”
From the School-To-Work Transition Survey (SWTS) of Young Malaysians report by Khazanah Research Insitute(KRI), makerspace has been proposed to address the lack of interest among the younger generation for STEM subjects. The report pointed out there is growing interest for the education ministry around the world to integrate arts in STEM education, creating a new STEAM education model.
