2th August : Final Project Diploma in Architecture

*Note: Heavy post ahead*

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.

lets get it started shall we? ..

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...

is it a good thing to be fully honest
why does something that were meant to be so pure and beautiful
fallen into this world must work in that way
that it is far beyond complexity
what and why does all this thing works exactly like its been formulated
as if it is well programmed within the deep human nature?
to survive?
and fake it for the rest of life?

what is the meaning of the whole thing by then?
it was once something so so look up upon
but now it will forever remains as a fantasy of a endless romance
that is far fetched from emotions and reality
that will only exist within the core of a dreamer



is it a good thing being fully indepedent?
physically, mentally, and spiritually
as if it is a scoreboard of life and there will be someone who writing those marks down during the end of one's life
what the point of scoring aces in all of those aspect while in the other hand what you get in return is a state of solitary?

there are simply no one
that will share the same view
feel the same thing to be with you if you're on that peak position

you would not need anyone
simply anything by then

If you are idle, be not solitary; if you are solitary, be not idle.
