Project 2B: The Discovery Centre

In this final project, students were required to design a structure that will allow users to “DISCOVER” about the people, place, activities, culture, history etc. associated to Jalan Terusan Utama Parit 4, Kampung Sg Hj Dorani. It will function as a visitor center that could display interpretive exhibits, include a walk-through historical or cultural journey museum-like exhibition, as well as an interactive and engaging “edutainment” program and areas or spaces to connect with the locals and the natural environments of the place. It could be a center to learn about the locals and early settlers that called the location as home or to reveal the significance of the paddy field, water reservoir, canals, and the people involve managing the whole agriculture and water irrigation system. All these information shall be transformed into spaces that requires a poetic touch architecturally.
