BREAKING DOWNMY BIG GOALS

IN LIFESummary

Growing up, I tried dipping my toes in a few things: I played trom-

bone all throughout high school, run a theatre production, debates

and all the things that interest me in the exiguous. I was compelled

to try new things, acquiring skills I thought would shape my intel-

lectual framework. My fascination with architecture grew organi-

cally throughout my childhood. My late uncle was a builder; he built

traditional timber houses from scratch. I would spend hours watch-

ing and I thought I could also build one of this myself when I grow

up. Through him, I developed my interest in design and construc-

tion – only to understand later that architecture is much more than

brick and mortar.

Architecture personally is my life long inquiries on the pragmatic

aspect in the society building. I discovered the tangible values of

architecture to be important in facilitating human’s potential. The

spaces and shapes transmit information and stimulates sensation.

Through an intense strategy game (Command and Conquer: Red

Alert) I was tasked to build an army base (a main base and satellite

camps) in a specifi c time frame, dealing with diff erent context con-

ditions and fi nancial burdens while engaging in skirmish. Through

this, i consciously developed a passion in developing strategies and

tactics. It is only natural that I develop my stratagems interest fur-

ther in architecture and the democratic aspect of the urban plan-

ning. After all, a good design can only be appreciated if the design

intent is translated into target mass aspirations thoroughly - propa-

ganda, democratic design, inclusive policy making.

My fascination in the built environment and cities are beyond physi-

cal, I consider myself to be a part of the city not only physically but

also emotionally. Having both studied and worked in the heart of

Kuala Lumpur, I am both attached and detached from my city. I for

one believe a successful city is both built by the designers and the

members of society collectively. I see my future career in architec-

ture as a leader in a multi-disciplinary design fi rm that focuses on

championing public-centric designs, allowing ideas from the gener-

al public, into the process. I envision myself working closely with the

city hall to engaging these aspirations and ideas of the public and

translate them into the physical form. Eventually I will run for Mayor!

Critical Mass : One Academy, School of Architecture

The Global advancement in technology has disrupted traditional industry, practices and companies. The Architectural consumption are evolving and the role of architects are also changing, thus it is important for the new bred of architects to be innovative and ready to meet future needs. A client-savvy architects need to see beyond “building, buildings” and instead offer services the embraces client/public broader aims - becoming problem solver as well as designer. The project intends to pursue the abstract, yet the visceral power of Critical Mass in Architecture Pedagogy. How can real time critiquing in architecture studios work, how frequent should it be, where and what is the threshold. How does personal and shared spaces be successful and how an open to public studio might function.

Urban SpaceNew World Park is an amazing comfortable covered park

occupied with Hawkers Food Court and Coff ee Shops. Initial Observation shows the park is quite mundane, only

after a few hours people start showing up for meals. No connection to other urban spaces, it lack traffi c (inputs).

Potential - a food hub/leisure park for the future students.Give wide choices as for food and beverage.

Transportation StopThis is a possible bus stop/taxi lay-by and motorcycle

parking, Integrated Bicycle rent and possible pedestrian bridge to adjacent Park.

Student PlazaThe Student Plaza will be the open space that provide

the blank canvas so exhibition, bazaar and students activities can be held. The student plaza will include an amphitheatre,

bicycle parking, gazebos and access to lobby.

Potential Activities - Student Work Exhibition, Installations,Informal Classes, Bazaar, Indoor sports, Leisure

Ingress and Egress The entrance is both for vehicular and pedestrian from the

Southeast side of the site. (Drop off and pick-up area is inside the parking space) potential high frequency/common

student entrance because of the opposite art supply shop

Existing Pedestrian The Existing pedestrian walkway is already big and

landscaped with adequate trees. There were few sighting of hawkers stall along the pedestrian.

Potential - Extension of public realm in-out of the project

Pedestrian Road

Neighbourhood Park This park caters the family in the Low Cost Housing, also

include a medium sized musolla and a small playground.A very lively green space.

Critical Mass

Platform for the student to express/communicate their idea through provision of mass inputs through spatial strategies/possibilities allowing skill sharing, new ideas and methodology through a space that allow public-student interaction.

To create this medium for creation and interpretation, consideration of the connected and isolated spaces, open and closed spaces, critical and casual spaces needs to be identifi ed to produce the generative environment.

Conceptual breakdown and tectonic studies of the spatial qualities in the design. Figure A is the block approach used to understand the apparent recess and relief spaces and the potential of visual/light connection from fl oor to fl oor. Figure B is the initial on-site sketches of the existing culture and street identity of the main streets of the site and a few massing sketches on-site.

Dated as early as the 18th century, each style of shop house has its own unique architectural and decorative features, representing different peri-ods of George Town’s history. The style of structure reveals the influence of Chinese, Malay, Indian and European styles - a mix of cultures that con-verged and adapted in response to the local environment.

The Penang shop house is also a fine example of a green building, incorpo-rating materials and designs that are suitable to the tropical climate. Every detail from internal walls, ceilings, roof tiles, to air wells, are designed to help with natural lighting, ventilation and cooling.

Isometric Drawing showcasing the Studio - Plaza Interface through the shaft

This project tries to address the critical need for a platform for the student to express/communicate their idea through provision of presentation space that allow creative strategies/possibilities by usage of building structure, facade and active mechanics in an urban setting. The spatial components is arranged in a way that allows the mix of creativity, flexibility, practicality and feasibility producing a building that is both a test case and a showcase for the campus of the future. New concepts for teaching, working, formal and informal meeting, studying, writing and socializing on campus have been implemented, while searching for a new balance between what we share and who we are individually or in specific groups- is considered. The arrangement of the supporting spaces e.g lecture theatre, lab and classroom are all adjacent to the main studios, blurring the boundary of theory classes and practical application of theory in design studio.

*Understanding of the student pods being a fragment ideals of the studio but rooted in the individuality that the pods allow.

*The Critical Mass is trying to push the boundary of Architectural learn-ing and application

*The Knowledge Transfer/Share is imagined to happen as “Real Time”

Layar : Collective Cultural Workshop

As the city grows, both as a tourism destination and a business hub, curative measures are needed to ensure the cultural attraction and the reason of infl ow of people into Kota Bharu is well potrayed and intact. The current attractions in the city is well dispersed- a good thing as it motivates people to walk/explore the city. However, to ensure the full Kelantan culture experience, a one stop information centre is key to provide the whole framework. This collective workshop, intends to provide the knee depth understanding of the overall experience, so as to provide a touch base experience that would direct the tourists, investors, and locals alike to their ultimate destination.

Kota Bharu is prone to fl ood: the only solution is to let things fl oat! Applying a simple mechanism of such a pontoon would be pos-sible!

A common Wakaf (demonstration spaces on ground) system that would allow the integration of a pontoon into the stilts by having a modular structure with spaces set on stilts.

The houses are built in such a way where future extensions are possible and easy. The house is built with a smart addition system which allows it to be extended anytime, suiting the needs of each family.

Spaces on stills that also promotes fl exibilty, possible growth and changes in the ground plane layout with the precaution to deal with fl ood: the pontoon eff ect.

Orang Asli (aborigine) Exploratory Centre : A Community Lantern

Orang Asli Children in Selangor build up 33 percent of the indigenous community in Selangor. Growing mostly in a rural environment and then thrown into a mainstream school system, these children would feel inad-equate in terms of preparation, knowledge and overall advancement. To prepare them for the unknown, a prep centre in adamant in their growth as a part of the community and thyself.

A critical assessment of the community needs in terms of education infra-structure and its possibility is conducted to provide design solutions ti their everyday needs.

Catalyst to spur and set into motion progressive and sustainable develop-ment in Kampong Bharu.

The socio- economic development rate for Kampong Bharu in comparison to other parts of the city had been affected by the complex process of overcoming the land-matters when it comes to development. Subsequently this has led to an effect of under-developed district within the central district of KL.The development focuses on social development of Kampong Bharu, where there is a need to upgrade and rehabilitate the aging infrastructure and civic amenities to support and promote a modern-day community.

Rampant and accelerated development within the city centre, points to the threat of gentrification and monotony within the city. The strategy is also a meas-ure of retainment and fortification of existing urban fabrics such as social, eco-nomical and cultural are main elements identified : and made into urban zoning and placemaking strategies.

Saloma Link : Linking Kampung Bharu and KL City Centre

The development will include a new pedestrian link where it is not posiible before, as the two district is separated by a highway (AKLEH). The new links will create a pleasant environment to make the walking experience more enjoyable. In creating this pedestrian friendly environment in the city centre, it enables people to move freely without fear of incoming traffic, thus improving pedestrian’s safety and mobil-ity. It will then encourage more retail and F&B areas, which may activate the public spaces and create a vibrant atmosphere. As a consequence result, it can potentialy improve the economical growth of both districts.

Skyline Study : The new CBD in Kampung Bharu

This development aims to establish a public place as a community centre for Kampong Bharu, with state of the art and latest strategies of Urban Design. KBCDMP has proposed KBCC as Pilot Project embark on Compre-hensive Development via Lot Amalgamation Strategy (CRLA).

The Massing strategy was to introduce a central park that connects the various lots including the new signature tower block. The skyline ap-proach was to compliment the famous Kuala Lumpur Skyline with the twin towers and the KL Tower. The total allowable GFA allows a provision of 14 million sqft of spaces in the development.v

Mobility and Physics of Balance

I was tasked to lead a team to design an installtion with the given theme DUALISM(a). We further developed our narrative in the du-alism aspect of balance: ying and yang, good vs evil, solid vs void, etc. The concept of Balance is then replicated in the mechanism of mobility throgh provision of the gravity wheel concept (spokeless wheel)

The idea was to create a kiosk or product dispenser that can be mobile while taking advantange of the form. The project took one month to execute from conception to building - with the help of a welding technician and a senior carpenter.

The istallation also intends to challage the duality of the form in achieving mobility and maintaining gravitational balance.
