"Social Proximity"
​
Pushing the boundary of the notion that a library must be a contained , quiet and nearly isolated space, community library in Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman has treats the library as public zone for the fostering of communal creativity, to blur the social boundaries and dissolves the separation between inside and the street. The library has opted for the formal building typology of the site, so that the streamlined library can capture the essence of the existing and the books within to create a cohesive experience that celebrates both.





From now on, we will concentrate on designing a community library within an urban infill site. The design of the building is to consist of appropriate architectural responses that address the aspects of the urban street context and user behavioural patterns as discerned and analysed in the Preliminary Studies. Apart from developing a narrative on architectural strategy in response to the relevant questions pertaining to community and its context, the design should take into consideration a holistic application of structural, spatial, functional and environmental requirements to address the user needs for a community library. The design development of this project will include an introduction to the legislative restrictions that impact an architectural scheme, the integration of lighting and acoustic design, as well as the design exploration and detailing of the façade and building envelopes that is coherent with the architectural language of the overall design project.
​
The major site issue being the fading of cultural heritage that engages the local communities. The contemporary trend is to fade this rich cultural heritage rather than amplifying it. The solution is in design employing critical approach to the notion of ‘content’ as a purposeful narrative to powerful questions relevant to the context (Low, 2010).
​
Thus , this project aims to provide a design for the community in Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
