Jury Review - PROTOTYPE STUDIO LODGE AND THERAPY CENTRE,UPMAdnan, Faridah (2012) Jury Review - PROTOTYPE STUDIO LODGE AND THERAPY CENTRE,UPM. Sustainable Tropical Environmental Design Exhibition 2012, 4. pp. 150-151. ISSN 2180-0685 Official URL: http://www.vlmp.upm.edu.my AbstractStudents started off with explaining their design approaches both in terms of written text as well as concept diagrams. Most of the ideas stemmed from the opportunities and constraints posed by the UPM site including building approach, circulation, climate and views. These aspects were well covered and the designs that evolved responded well to the contextual analysis. However, the enquiry could have been taken to a higher level along the philosophy of lodging, healing, therapy and rejuvenation. The individual designs of the lodges were very stimulating. As part of the requirement was to use timber post-and-beam construction, several of the lodges were raised on stilts. Timber construction also implied that the building plan be rectilinear as it was difficult to do curved plans with timber.
