Project 2: Community Centre for the Creative City

The needs of the community should be responded to by design by exploring various possibilities of relevant sub-questions that suit our interest and exploration from Project 1a. For the rest of the semester, we will concentrate on designing a Community Centre for the Creative City within an urban block corner site in KL City Centre. The design of the building consists of appropriate architectural responses that address the aspects of the urban street context and user behavioral patterns as discerned and analyzed in the Preliminary Studies. The final project has two distinctive stages: a) Architectural Strategy and b) Design Development and detailing. It should also be noted that the new/proposed façade should be carefully designed to retain the architectural character of the historic town.

Reflection

The aim of this assignment is to develop an architectural narration for place making in the city and to perform an integrated design. The final takeaway from this assignment is that architectural strategy should be resolved for form, activity and circulation, through technical integration. They will have to develop architecture FORM, SPACE and FACADES for ▪ Positive outdoor space (site layout) ▪ Animating the edge (Façade design) ▪ Building size and scale (sections) ▪ Building for change (space planning/function) ▪ A thriving public realm (connection to the street).
