Ben-Bow Enrichment Learning Centre in Klang
29/ 12 / 2018
The design develops into the final scheme of design where it interprets the tendency of creating interest through enclosure. The enclosure setting fits the contexts of creating a separate realm in conjunction of the prevailing street context. The realm where people can retreat and dwell into by having spaces to informally and formally elaborate learn through the form of classrooms &workshops, public rentable outlets giving a sense of place for anyone, a canteen to rehydrate oneself, public toilets accessible for everyone, dynamic facade initiative where greenery can be planted and replanted, and a compact "park". Spaces of place-making which develops with humankind in relation with the built form.

Klang heeds the call towards a new form of social living through an architectural intervention which embodies the vibrancy nature in people to further gentrify the vicinity of the area regularly. Thus, the proposal of a design to interpret the needs of the people ideal learning centre of what can be done for the people, whilst an initiative adjourning the sprout of negative perception of the withered site. The Ben-Bow learning centre as a catalyst to reform the social vibrancy amongst the immediate column of people, to inject a social bond with one another which then results to the meaning of the site and its context.

Children’s Outdoor Playscape
12 / 4 / 2018
Initiating the exploration of ‘Leisure and Architecture’ this project deals with the basic action of ‘play’ and leisure at the smallest scale through the understanding of recycled materials and their relationship to the crafting of spaces for children experience. The design: RE-PLAY – CHILDREN’S OUTDOOR PLAYSCAPE, which is intended to showcase specific material ( wooden spools) for a proposed set of activities. It is to develop awareness of environmental sustainability through the responsible and innovative use of reclaimable and re-purposed materials in relation to childrens' needs in their term of leisure and play environment. The exploration of ‘play’ in this project will relate to the programmatic requirements in Project 2.
For a start, we are to identify several main aspects of the structure – use, size, design requirements, etc. Several key questions to be addressed:
-
Kids of 7- 12 years old of age.
-
Special activities proposed
-
Recyclable materials like the wooden spool to be re used as a play element
-
Construction methods that could be used- special fixings and fixtures

The whole structure is dependent on the structure placement of the strings.

Truth be told, these group mates and project made me acknowledge in-depth of who and what our playscape needs, to cater the childrens' ecstatic energy. The many developments of models and ideas sometimes throws us apart and have a tantrum among each other. Burying the hatchet, i learnt to be more lineant and should be more cooperative with my group by letting myself to be more involved. Ideas and decisions should be determined together to achieve the outcome. Because from someones' perspective, some ideas will have flaws; rectifying it together and keep going forward.
jusqu'à ce que nous nous rencontrions, finalement
