This collective assignment stands as a pivotal opportunity to distill and articulate the multifaceted elements, both tangible and intangible, intrinsic to the landscape of Kampung Morten. Our primary aim is to synthesize these diverse components into a comprehensive guideline set, serving as the bedrock for conceptualizing the Kampung Morten Discovery Center, a space intricately woven into the fabric of its site-specific context.
In traversing this academic journey, our efforts have been dedicated to an exhaustive examination of the physical and metaphysical dimensions of Kampung Morten. Rigorous research has unveiled the tangible features such as architectural nuances, natural landscapes, and historical remnants, alongside an exploration of intangible aspects encompassing cultural traditions, communal stories, and the essence of local identity. This holistic approach has granted us invaluable insights, paving the way for a deeper understanding of the site's ethos and establishing a solid groundwork for our final project.
To enrich our comprehension further, we've meticulously curated visceral boards, capturing sensory impressions and evoking the essence of Kampung Morten's ambiance. Concurrently, our exploration of the concept of genius loci, the spirit or character of a place, has been instrumental in discerning the unique soul that breathes life into this locale. Aligning with this understanding, we've formulated three distinct design approaches, each harmonizing with the inherent spirit and ethos of Kampung Morten. These approaches aim not only to pay homage to the locale's heritage but also to create a space that seamlessly integrates with and enhances its surroundings.
Our endeavor is not merely to create a physical structure but to weave a narrative through architecture—a narrative that speaks volumes about the rich history, cultural heritage, and communal spirit ingrained in the very essence of Kampung Morten. This synthesis of tangible and intangible elements will serve as a guiding light in sculpting a Discovery Center that not only reflects the site's inherent beauty but also becomes a beacon, inviting visitors to immerse themselves in an authentic and evocative experience of this cherished cultural tapestry.
