Project 2b : The Discovery Center
(Visitor Center for Kampung Morten, Malacca)
Following project 1, which aimed to introduce and explore the formal and poetic articulation of architecture in a site-less or hypothetical site condition, and project 2a, which was about the historical research and site analysis as a driver for architectural development for the Discovery Center, project 2b calls for an architectural response to design A DISCOVERY CENTER (Visitor Center) emphasizing a strong engagement and relationship to the site, people, culture, history, spatial experiences, and programmatic requirements.
"It will function as a visitor center that could display interpretive exhibits, include a walk-through historical or cultural journey museum-like exhibition, as well as an interactive and engaging 'edutainment' program and areas or spaces to assist the tour guide to give briefing to visitors before going on tours."
