Assalamu’alaikum and Greetings everyone. Alhamdulillah... we had completed the January 2020 Architecture Design Studio 6 (3rd year Bachelor of Sciences in Architecture in UTAR). Some of the students work are exceptionally well executed. In this video, we’re going to look at one of it.
The Kampong Bharu Urban Planning Exhibition Centre. It’s an Information centre to showcase the past and present of Kampong Bharu. Taking a cue from it’s food and Malay culture.
It is a work of Chew Hong Zheng. His project is located at Site 2 in Kampong Bharu along Jalan Raja Muda Musa and Jalan Hassan Salleh.
Inspired by the Serambi of a Malay Traditional House, Chew try to translate this idea into the new information and exhibition centre as a transition point between KLCC via the new Saloma Link bridge and the food streets in Kampong Bharu, besides Responding to all the other site forces.
I am very impressed with the level of resolution that he manage come up with to address the issues surrounding the site. Especially the way he dissected the site and putting in place the spaces, responding to different forces around the site. The final forms is also blended well with the surroundings context and very appropriate in Kampong Bharu.
If one thing I can point out probably that he should have considered using timber construction rather than concrete with timber cladding. It was pointed out by the other panelists too during the online crit. And I would like to suggest the water features to be a bit more organic to contrast with the formality of the building block.
Overall I think the project is well executed. Congratulations to Chew Hong Zheng. I wish him all the best. Hopefully 10 years from now he can look back at this moment as a turning point to his successful career in Architecture.
As usual If you have any comment, a different opinion maybe, please leave your comments below. Let’s create a lively and positive exchange for the benefit of Architecture Education. Thank you. See you in the next video. Assalamu’alaikum wr wb.
