This phase aims to establish an architectural position and design strategy for a community-focused Learning Centre within the Merdeka 118 Precinct, reflecting on insights from earlier project phases. Students will interpret the concept of a Learning Centre in an urban heritage context, addressing public realm quality, movement, legibility, adaptability, and diversity. Through 1:100 model explorations of form-typologies such as linear, perimeter, and diffused forms using strategies like layering, subtraction, and overlapping, students will investigate massing, spatial planning, and façade design in response to the urban block and its physical and functional contexts. Precedent studies—one international and one from tropical cities—will explore reimagining learning in urban settings, tropical architecture elements (e.g., courtyards, passive cooling, sun shading), and regulatory considerations. Key themes include programmatic response, formal and street response, and public-private realm dynamics, emphasizing the role of the Learning Centre in revitalizing heritage areas through form, function, circulation, and cultural engagement.
Nestled in the vibrant heart of Kampung Attap, Weavesphere is a sanctuary of creation, where discarded fragments find new life & artistry weaves through every thread. It is more
than a learning center—it’s a living tapestry, blending sustainability and craft into a symphony of renewal.
Here, innovation dances with tradition. Studios hum with the energy of hands transforming waste into wonder, while exhibitions celebrate the beauty of rebirth.
A library whispers secrets of ancient crafts and modern sustainability, inviting minds to explore and imagine.
Every corner inspires connection—materials to ideas, people to purpose. The air is alive with possibility, the promise that even the forgotten can shine anew.
Weavesphere is not just a place; it’s a movement. A call to craft. A testament to change. A future woven from the threads of yesterday, shaped by the artistry of today.
