My Building. My Architecture.
National Library of Malaysia
Objective
Project 3A will allow students to do most of the things they enjoy most doing, bonding with friends, travelling, storytelling and more importantly taking and uploading videos and pictures, focusing mainly on their chosen architecture. In a more serious note, this exercise serves as test on how well the groups can narrate and ‘story tell’ and whether students have learned and understand essential aspects of design.
These aspects include familiarization of architectural terminologies and their abilities to use architectural language to share their understanding of the design (form & space) on the architecture they have chosen.
Groups in the most creative and educational manner, will come up with a video that includes the following components: a brief background about the building, concepts, approaches and ideas behind the design and a tour of the space through pictures and personal experiences (describing and understanding spaces and building form through elements and principles of design). Group may also use analytical sketches, a skit or role playing and other forms of narrating and storytelling techniques as long as the video will be as informative as possible.
All in all, there is multiple processes that go into the whole process of creating a building. In this case having Intervied one of porject leaders during the time of constrcution, Tuan Haji Rosham, we were educated throughly in terms of the various offsets, difficulties, renovationed, modification, design intentions and purpose of the national library.
One would not imagine the amount of research and detail that needs to be done before going for an interview. Being of first interviews carried out in degree, having interaction and feedback from a high status representitive the porject was a good experience.
Not knowing much about Malaysia, and its heritage, having discovered that not only its culture but its heritage is being represented in its architectural momuments shows the passion behind the country's movement in terms of design back then and even now.
