Abstract

The marine research centre along Sungai Kuantan estuary near Tanjung Lumpur in Pahang is based on the understanding of the complex environmental issues with the interconnected field of overlapping boundaries expressing nature and artificial elements as well as the static and fluid conditions. The entire project is like a ‘breathing organism’ that evolves and acts as a response to the ever changing environment. Connections of specific building and urban context represents the degree of complexity that is in unison with mother nature.The supporting structure mimics the root system of existing mangrove swamp and the buildings and services are raised using the cantenary arch approach. The wonder of natural system is the source of reference in experimenting new conceptual model for this particular architectural design by Loo Jie Hsin.
