Project idea

Malaysia, Selangor's waste crisis has been involved since decades ago. In general, the dominant waste such as food waste, garbage, and green waste become a threat with excessively commits “waste crime” which possible to decay the whole township and city central. Start with a new change of environment and missionary of waste restoration program, the concept of recycling and re use are emphasized to eliminate the waste culture by generating a new system that reframes how citizen thinks of waste differently, a creativity key to win the war on the waste culture. Therefore with this design proposal, we have invited Louis Vuitton to design the architecture program.

Louis Vuitton is well known branded company, has been found in the same direction of making restoration on waste by remanufacturing and reuse the raw material from waste. With the collaboration of Louis Vuitton, this program aims to give food wastes new identities and function contribute to something well known which could enrich the waste trading enthusiasm as to how food waste can turn into part of art, fashion, part of belongs and part of yourself; a thing that is highly valuable and worth to cherish. In Architecture, the objectives are to inject a new culture and environment, design a high effective spatial planning and strategies that collaborate with the waste program, and restoring the local environment.

Project description

To Design the Architecture's objectives, Social Conscience, and Social Condenser are the solutions to design interactive programs, informative green environments, and effective spatial planning. Social conscience spatial helps to increase the efficiency of space and program quality by interconnecting the function of spaces, where users can experience the whole journey with a singular direction. Besides that, this spatial is also responsive social-spatial which utilized in the common space by creating edges as a breakdown space along with the building. Social Condenser spatial helps to gather the crowd by experiencing together with the waste program. This kind of environmental spatial is easily conveying the adaptation of waste culture, in which all the user are in the same dedication to the spaces, programs, and environments

Speaking about the Aims of the projects, the main idea is to revive the waste into a new function. The program has been proposed according to the main idea of the revitalization of waste and turns into art, which requires collecting some old fabric or raw fiber, raw green waste to manufacturing new fabric, furnished furniture, and create a new identity of fashion followed by creative designers, cloth designers, and artists.
