An urban infill nucleus will act as a new catalyst by installing
a new life, richness and humanity in the existing urban structure.
This will assist in reviving of disserted historical cityscape to
form a new focal point for the city which would salvage and
conserve our heritage structure from the invasion and destruction
of the new unconsidered city expansion. The insertion of a new
public art gallery in the existing urban fabric will introduce a
new gathering space to the people to express their thought through
art exhibition, debate and lectures. It will form a new meeting
place to exchange ideas for the betterment of society and community
as a whole; especially to further enhance the existence and value
for the heritage conservation in this oldest urban framework of
Kuala Lumpur city. In the final project , students will undertake
the spatial exploration sculpture and develop it into an art
gallery that will fill the gap site to form a new urban nucleus for
regeneration of the new focal point to compliment to its
neighborhood especially between Petaling street and Jalan
Sultan.
