Revisit: the Arc @ Rimbayu


 
Return to our own created architectural space, to observe how community enjoy this piece of green. Past arduous process throughout design and construction stage, has realised us this green masterpiece, set a very remarkable architectural milestone.

The Arc, with multi-functional community space as fundamental principle, created as an ideal venue for social and recreational activities and sports events. Time to time, we always like to revisit this green masterpiece, intended to survey the outcome of the creation, and experience the space quality. It is simply excited to see how the extensive green curtain has covered up the massive green canopy RC structure, and our initial intention of place-making to create a community venue / park that can attract people because they are pleasurable.

Community who use this piece of green regularly can provide the most valuable perspective insights into how the are functions, and help to identify subjects that are important to consider in improving the space, as well as a lesson to us for next task.

Observing a space allows us to learn how the space is used. We always believe the task of place making for any community space are never finished, this is because the use of good places changes daily, weekly and seasonally, which makes management critical. Given the certainty of change and fluid nature of the use of the space at different times, the challenge is to develop the ability to respond effectively.
