The design vision empowered through the proposal aims to provide resources of info, public acknowledgement, interaction with other building consultants, and education trainings for new builders. Building programs has been designed to encourage trainings and involvement between different stakeholders in order to improve learning and working experience.
Proposed MBAM Centre is energized by multiple semi outdoor or in-between spaces, to be the core of the interaction spaces. The strategy of overlapping spaces and programme allow interaction and connection between different users. Besides, the massing is a clear representation of the programmatic configuration of the centre; expressing clear and distinct architectural language of timelessness as a new typology for utilitarian building.
Grand plaza at ground level is designated for multipurpose function, public events and gantry workshop for the heavy machinery, also function as workshop which eventually function as exhibition equipment for event usage.
We believe being sustainable is an attitude that can turn into a habit and that leas to a norm and becomes a cultural practice. Thus our principle of sustainable design has clearly applied in this building.
With the proposed IBS steel post and beams framing system with truss system, the structure intended to express the effective cantilevered spaces, with central life core and services stacks function as the primary structure support for the building.
Translucent concrete has been chosen as the main façade of the cantilevered spaces. Translucent concrete allow light transmissive properties due to embedded light optical elements. Light is conducted through the stone from one end to the other. This result in light pattern on the other surface casting unique shadow on one side which appear as silhouettes through the material. At night, the entire cantilevered box would appear as lantern.
