CULINARY ART CENTER

 

Unveiling the flavor of Asia

 

 

 

 

program:

Concept of this building is based idea of “Unveiling the flavor of Asia” with Culinary gastronomy center, which can serve as a node and landmark for the neighborhood. Center is aiming to create a culinary hub into area that has rich history in Kuala Lumpur, as a center of trade and vibrant street life. Food being integral part of Malaysian culture, makes this center a natural meeting place thus engaging surrounding community and tourist alike in way that speaks common language over cultural barriers. Culinary pleasures are also a form of art, which is respected and nurtured in the center by dedicating building for this purpose, which absorbs from the heritage surrounding it and returns it back in new altered form that has been influenced by chef’s that create culinary art inside. Following old saying “we are what we eat”, this concept also incorporates idea that good organic nourishment can serve human spirit as well as needs of the body. 

 

Design idea and concept:

Surrounding area is crucial factor for this design idea as it draws inspiration and users from it. Location on Jalan Tun H.S. Lee taps into lively area that is combining shop houses that combine commercial space with residential.  Colonial times are still evident in the style of district and that gives help when tapping into essentially cosmopolitan lifestyle that gives identity to the area. Building is divided into two parts first one being culinary art school,restaurant and second one garden, this  design idea is helping to address issues that the site has, which are mainly related to usual city life: lack of security, greenery and public amenities.  Building will be enhance feeling of pride in the area increasing spirit of the local community thus helps to address security issues in conjunction of increasing presence of people that are dedicated to ideals. Secondly building has greenery attached to in a form of a garden that covers wall and ground lowering pulsation and creating a space which grows vegetables and spices for restaurant consequently creating small oasis in midst of the city. Culinary Art Center serves as public amenity for the whole neighborhood as it provides them its services and draws from the strengths of the district in a form of using products of local wet market.  Ultimate design idea is to revive the food culture of area and enhance it bringing local cuisine to cotemporary position and highlighting its identity.

Scenography:

In this design the scenography been used to express visual experiment thought the permeability movement for users within and for those overlooking the structure.

Kampung Baharu Tras
Site Analysis
Vegetarian and vegan wellness center :

Concept of this building is based on vegetarian and vegan lifestyle and aim is to create wellness center centering on these ideas. Center is helping visitor to rejuAvenate their soul in atmosphere that is promoting peace of mind. Building will be gathering place all those people who share interest in this lifestyle. Users are going to be those who are interested in natural/organic products and their farming. Another aspect of center is that it will offer place where peace of mind can be attained with help of meditation and other related methods. As Integration with nature is a path to health, this combined with having healthy food, physical surroundings and meditation creates an experience where I believe user will be relaxing and invigorating their souls. Every trigger is a signal that I must look within the identity of the root issue. Blaming my exterior reality leads nowhere as interior reality is true core of our being and health. Center will be open for many different user groups as it place of harmony and peace which should be available for all members of the society. 

 

Design idea:

Landscape and good views surrounding site are important.  Building is Orientated around the big tree to further reinforce touch of nature in the concept. Materials are chosen so they are in balance with the purpose of the center and surroundings. Interior areas reflect philosophy behind the design. Important part of the Design is the water element, giving poetic side for the building.

 

Why I choose this site:

I choose this site because water is the most important character for all living things and nothing living would exist without it. Water is also cooling element and creates natural ambient sound for meditation. This site has water.

 

Work shop:

 The building will function as a workshop for cooking and culinary art techniques for vegetarians using knowledge of organic farming techniques to promote wellbeing of the users. Workshop also showcases hydroponic farming which is important part of organic farming.

Material:  

Building materials are very natural such as bamboo, wood, etc. They are chosen since they are readily available in the vicinity and thus are more ecological choice.
