MAJOR ASSIGNMENT ( individual project ) : Duration : Week 6 ~ 14

An urban infill nucleus will act as a new catalyst by installing a new life, richness and humanity in the existing urban structure. This will assist in reviving of disserted historical cityscape to form a new focal point for the city which would salvage and conserve our heritage structure from the invasion and destruction of the new unconsidered city expansion. The insertion of a new public art gallery in the existing urban fabric will introduce a new gathering space to the people to express their thought through art exhibition, debate and lectures. It will form a new meeting place to exchange ideas for the betterment of society and community as a whole; especially to further enhance the existence and value for the heritage conservation in this oldest urban framework of Kuala Lumpur city. In the final project , students will undertake the spatial exploration sculpture and develop it into an art gallery that will fill the gap site to form a new urban nucleus for regeneration of the new focal point to compliment to its neighborhood especially between Petaling street and Jalan Sultan.
