Abstract

Under-utilized outdoor spaces can be associated with an empty or uninteresting environment. The absence of functional and appealing seating objects contributes to the underutilization of outdoor spaces fronting the Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah Cultural and Art Centre (SSAASCAC) located at Universiti Putra Malaysia. Hence, this may have influenced the public perception towards the image of SSAASCAC. To mitigate the problem, the designer has conducted a study as a basis to design the suitable types of seating objects and materials to be used for the setting. The use of ‘green material’ is important to support environmental sustainability. Based on the identifiable aesthetic and human needs, a stylish functional seating sculpture is introduced to create a more attractive, lively and usable outdoor space for people.
