Today is the presentation day for my final project, everything went pretty smooth hmm..

Once again, welcome to my gallery-of-photo-and-caption style of post regarding my final project: sarawak cultural centre, which kinda like my last piece of work wrapping up as my representative work which marks the end of my diploma in architecture over TarCollege here.

The whole presentation board

Presentation scheme and style :

To show the flaming spirit of the ibans warrior, orange and black represent the iconic impression from the mixture of the skin of orang ibans and the sarawak tattoos design while the main composition idea is to enhance and strengthen the super-perspective; soul of the iban longhouse void into the presentation drawing, as though trying to draw and absorb the audience into the world of Rich Iban Culture.

Extra design-process images:

earliest vray render of the atrium hall (2th July)

Geisel Library

If there is a need to list down one of the building which i studied and references from, this will be the building I select: The Geisel Library.

Basically the Brutalism impression, the strong boldness and striking appearance as though it is projecting outward is what i want to imply to my building design along with some concept of Truth over material and verticality in the glazing panel.

Remember how the iban warrior point that blow pipe on the audience intend to scares the audience off during the performance at sarawak cultural village?

Thus, the aggressiveness and the hostility of the ibans are to be interpret and convey in the similar way...
