The image is a paper cut related to my current project
involved in Ipoh. This is the best experience so far to me in design
development. The complexity of the building designed as combination of several
separated function and building typology has exposed me to a very challenging
and invaluable experience.
This project is a joint development project between public (Authority
Council) and private company. Dealing with them also was such a comprehensive
added knowledge and experience to me as an architect.

Talking about the building, the whole development will be
built on 3.2 ac land in the heart of Ipoh City Center which will develop into a
new landmark to the city. It comprise of an International Convention Center
with capacity of 2500 pax. (own by Authority Council), retail mall, 18 storey
hotel and 18 storey serviced apartment. An open public park will also be built
at level 3 as compensation to acquisition of the whole land ( as for now used
for public garden and park).
The existing public road abutting the land will be turned
into a public street mall. The 3 storey retail shops are designed with open
(natural ventilated) corridor and unified with public street mall on ground
level.
For the façade design, we played around with fractal
geometry concept to achieve an elegance and contemporary look. The concept of
elevated garden also manipulated on façade.
