The design aims to create a curve that spans along to receive optimum natural light penetration and orientated according to the sun path direction. In addition, the curve also allows the users to have visual connection and interaction to the community and the environment with the help of the slanted structure.
The educational kitchen and educational farm act as a platform to provide lessons for the community. The experimental lab provides a working space for the professional nutritionists to perform their research and quality control of the products. The aesthetic of the exposed structure expressed the culmination and integration of its form and function. Green technology systems are implemented to showcase the green features promoting innovative yet sustainable ideas in minimizing the pollution to the atmosphere.

7.2 Procurement Method Conventional Procurement Method
Advantages of using conventional procurement method.
In this procurement method, the employer accepts the design work separate from construction. Consultants are appointed for design and cost control purposes, where the contractors are responsible to carry out the construction works. The responsibility extents to all workmanship and material including the works of sub contractors. The contract is usually awarded to the contractors through a competitive open tendering process on complete information but it may appoint earlier through negotiations on the basis of partial or notional information.
1. Accountability due to competitive selection. 2. Variations to the contract are relatively easy to manage or make arrangements. 3. Client is able to have a direct influence which could facilitate a high level of functionality and improve the quality in the overall design.
