Studio 3: Project 3, Visitor Interpretive Centre (VIC)

The concept is redefining the grid, creating a sense of contradiction between what is old and new, making it easier to acknowledge or differentiate past and present. The building arrangement of the existing heritage buildings are in a horizontal and vertical manner, by tilting the angle of the walls to create an in depth effect of the facade. Other elements taken from the site will be remain such as the vertical plain facade, narrow arrangements and the elongated space volume.

The spacial planning is clearly defined by the separated building and floor. for a clearly direction where the user go, without a aim or destination, then just walk randomly, until you found your destiny. The entire area is free to roam, extra open space will be converted into greenery and recreation area.

Interior, with some narrow and wide interior space, giving different experiences in different places. User can even get to choose their path, no restriction is most suitable for present generation, bravely exploring, different experiences and also different view and perspective.

Everything planned here might be confusing, but confusing is what brought out the curiosity from the inside, without this strong feeling, everything you see will just be like a pass by cloud. Maintaining this curiosity feel, explore Malacca, and will be a whole new experience, and this is just the starting of it.
