We visited UTM University of Technology of Malaysia in Kuala Lumpur (KL) and Johor Bharu (JB) as a part of the International Design Studio. The students worked on understanding a site in KL, DATUNG KEMPUNG KEERAMAT in comparison with THIRUMIZHISAI in Chennai.
Understanding the growth of the Urban Form and analyzing the factors that contribute to this growth or the lack of growth was one of the key aspects of the study. Based on the study of the urban form of the site in Chennai, the students made observations in the site in KL and presented their views.
The Design Studio was curated to study a liminal space in both the sites and conceptualizes a design ideas based on the analysis. The design was processed and imagined through diagrams and discussions.
