Projects

Project 1 focuses on poetic architecture that forms an expressive experiential spatial journey that tells a story and engages with the users through their senses. Poetic architecture conveys beauty together with meaningful experiences that leave one feeling more fulfilled. The task will be supported by reading precedence, site visit & and site exploration of a given building, plus inventory and categorization of poetic spaces.

Project 2a requires an analysis of the site context as a starting point. It is a fundamental need for any design project as it will suggest a series of parameters to suggest an architectural solution, one that will be appropriate to the place and its meaning and contribute to its context. The site needs to be understood, in both intuitive and personal ways, as well as quantitative and measured means. Techniques to record and understand the site are varied, from physical surveys to qualitative aspects of experience and personal interpretation of the place.

To design a structure that will allow users to “DISCOVER” the people, place, activities, culture, history, etc. associated with Kampung Morten, Malacca. It will function as a visitor center that could display interpretive exhibits, including a walk-through historical or cultural journey museum-like exhibition, as well as an interactive and engaging “edutainment” program and areas or spaces to assist the tour guide in giving briefings to visitors before going on tours. All this information shall be transformed into spaces that require a poetic touch architecturally.
