Abstract

The essence of nature is interpreted to redefine the identity of Faculty of Forestry in Ayer Hiram Forest Reserve in Puchong, Selangor. Challenged by the need to preserve biological resource and diversity, the work displays a sensitive redesign of the spaces and elements within existing buildings. The central spine of the building complex is enhanced by the integration of interactive landscape spaces to stimulate the outdoor experience and educational activities. Inspired by nature, the courtyard, green corridor, sculptural wall, seating design and paving pattern are designed to capture the visual, sensory and meaningful human interaction with nature. Harmonious blend between nature, art and architecture creates stronger sense of identity for the faculty as a significant centre for forest biodiversity research and innovation.
