DESIGN STUDIO 3 : GENIUS LOCI - VISITOR INTERPRETIVE CENTER (VIC) - SEKINCHAN, SELANGOR, MALAYSIA

PROJECT 2
For this final project, I was required to design a visitor interpretive centre strong engagement and relationship to the site, spatial experiences and programmatic requirements. The purpose of the VIC is to provide a physical point of reference with visual significance that keeps alive the culture/history/memory/essence of the site. It is also to provide accommodation sited in Sekinchan, emphasizing a to house and display relevant material and interpretive material for public access and information. I was tasked to produce site analysis which document, interpret and analyze the site context and the ‘genius loci’ of place and generate design based on the unique character and conditions of the site context and also to generate design through conscious consideration of section-plan relationship with considerations of human scale, natural light, materials/texture. Therefore, I had to design a small scale community building which responds to the site (site topography, history, and sociocultural events), functional program and users’ experiences.
