Adnan, Faridah (2012) Jury Review - Habitat for Humanity Regional Head Office, Jalan Tabuan, Kuching Utara, Sarawak. Sustainable Tropical Environmental Design Exhibition 2012, 4. p. 185. ISSN 2180-0685
Abstract
In line with the aspirations of Habitat for Humanity, the concept statements for the various proposals were well written and these were aptly accompanied by thumbnail sketches to further explain the ideas and approaches. As an NGO that strived to advise, assist and assemble while being attentive, the building for their regional head office had to portray certain qualities. The building must be welcoming and yet had a sense of solidity. It needed to be reassuring and it was important to lead people to the building. It must possess a sense of openness while retaining its corporate entity. The form must be modern plus conducive for the Malaysian equatorial climate. At the entrance level, the consensus solutions applied by the students were the hollowed-out ground floor as well as setting the building back to create public plazas that beckoned.
