As our students progress into their professional careers, we are confident that they have developed a thinking framework that enables them to continue to learn and adapt to evolving workplace environments and to establish themselves as the leaders in their chosen fields. this issue of Atrium addresses an important facet of our professional and educational worlds – the making of communities. it is the habitation of designed and evolved worlds that is the focus of both research and teaching in Abp, at the level of cities, campuses and individual buildings. the theme of this issue is “the architecture of engagement”. We illustrate this with a focus on the contributions our alumni have made in designing and realizing communities both in Australia and abroad. here we profile the contributions of four distinguished graduates who have influenced the way in which people across the world have engaged and developed communities: Alan choe in singapore, bill mitchell in boston, sean Godsell in melbourne and hijjas Kasturi in Kuala lumpur. We also look at the architecture of communities - how they evolve and considerations in designing them effectively. dr david nichols eloquently examines how buildings and communities reflect each other, using the melbourne suburb of Kew as a historical and modern case study. As david establishes in his article, even as the function of public buildings change over time, they remain vitally important to our urban development and cultural resilience.

ISBN-10: 0-9876055-0-X ISBN-13: 978-0-9876055-0-4 Hijjas Kasturi and Harry Seidler in Malaysia Australian-Asian Exchange and the Genesis of a “Canonical Work” Amit Srivastava University of Adelaide In 1980, months after his unsuccessful competition entries for the Australian Parliament House and the Hong Kong Shanghai Bank headquarters, Harry Seidler entered into collaboration with Malaysian architect Hijjas (bin) Kasturi that proved much more fruitful. Their design for an office building for Laylian Realty in Kuala Lumpur was a departure from Seidler’s quadrant geometries of the previous decade, introducing a sinuous “S” profile that would define his subsequent work. Although never realised, Kenneth Frampton has described this project as a “canonical work” that was the “basic prototype for a new generation of medium to high-rise commercial structures.” But Seidler’s felicitous collaboration with Hijjas was evidently more than just circumstantial, arising from a longer term relationship that is part of a larger story of Australian-Asian exchange.

  • Rejuvenating the Shophouse: Conservation of Historical Buildings in Penang’S Unesco World Heritage Site
    Zahari Zubir et al., Int. J. of Herit. Archit., Vol. 2, No. 2 (2018) 335–346 REJUVENATING THE SHOPHOUSE: CONSERVATION OF HISTORICAL BUILDINGS IN PENANG’S UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE SITE ZAHARI ZUBIR, KOH JING HAO, NOR HAYATI HUSSAIN & PRINCE FAVIS ISIP School of Architecture, Building and Design, Taylor’s University, Malaysia. ABSTRACT Conservation of shophouses, the architectural heritage of the colonial past in Penang’s UNESCO World Heritage Site, is subjected to strict conservation regulations and guidelines imposed and en- forced by the local authority. The goal of the conservation effort is to add value to the dilapidated structures in order for them to remain relevant and economically viable while maintaining the his- torical essence of the site. Sadly, because of erroneous conservation treatments, many have failed to achieve the intended goals. This article explores the regulations and processes involved and the chal- lenges faced by building owners in conserving the shophouses. The significance of the study stem from the crucial need to deal with the issues involved in the conservation of heritage buildings within the rapid economic growth and transformation of Penang’s UNESCO World Heritage Site urban fabric. The study employs theoretical and analytical approaches as its methodology. This article dis- cusses the initiatives of three building owners in conserving shophouses into boutique hotel, museum and office, each originally of different purposes. Each of them applied adaptive reuse conservation strategy, with similar intention of rehabilitating the buildings for a more viable and current usage while maintaining their historical value and character. This article will serve as a reference for the local authorities, architects, designers, conservators and the public when embarking on projects of a similar nature in the future.

  • Built Pedagogy Education Design Is a Specialised Field with Different
    University of Melbourne New Building for the Faculty of Architecture, Building and Planning Expression of Interest Built Pedagogy Education design is a specialised field with different characteristics and benchmarks from other building types Paul Morgan Architects specializes in the design of university and TAFE buildings. A feature of the buildings is the idea of permeability: the activities of students and staff are revealed to passers-by. This animates the internal spaces and advertises the functions that occur within. It is about the ‘theatre’ of architecture, and can be seen in the Box Hill Institute Trade Facility and CGIT Learning Centre on this page.

  • The 1980S As (An Attempt In) the Decolonialization of Malaysian Art
    The 1980s as (an Attempt in) the Decolonialization of Malaysian Art Sarena Abdullah Southeast of Now: Directions in Contemporary and Modern Art in Asia, Volume 4, Number 1, March 2020, pp. 3-29 (Article) Published by NUS Press Pte Ltd DOI: https://doi.org/10.1353/sen.2020.0002 For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/752969 [ Access provided at 27 Sep 2021 18:07 GMT with no institutional affiliation ] This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License. ARTICLES The 1980s as (an Attempt in) the Decolonialization of Malaysian Art SARENA ABDULLAH Abstract In Malaysia, the implementation of the National Culture Policy in the early 1970s reiterated the ethnic preference policy of the National Economic Policy (NEP). As a result, the subsequent 1971 National Culture Congress (NCC) and the Islamization Policy undertaken by the government in the late 1970s had great influence on art practices in Malaysia, especially during the 1980s. These policies could be seen as an official attempt to shape the Malaysian identity, especially in terms of visual art in post-Independence Malaysia. The first part of this article will discuss the indirect consequences of the 1971 National Culture Policy and several Islam-centred policies since the late 1970s and how several assertions were made through a few writings about Malaysian art: that only certain modern art forms, aligned with the rhetoric of national agendas, were produced and exhibited in the late 1970s until the mid- 1990s. This paper will problematize the assertion by discussing some disjuncture and inconsistencies in relation to this narrative of Malaysian art.

It dates from 2002 and, like many other buildings by Hijjas Kasturi Associates (HKA), it has helped define what modern Malaysian architecture aspires to be. The reason these buildings remain must- see architectural icons is because of how they express so clearly the values which drove them. At a time when so much Malaysian architecture tried to express national identity through vernacular revival pastiche, Hijjas pursued a “universal architecture” imbued with the essence of local tradition. Elegant in form and refined in detail, these buildings integrate with their urban context and are exemplars of sustainable tropical architecture. In the Region, Hijjas is comparable to Harry Seidler – whom he admires – in the way his buildings engage at ground level where they open up to create connection and make a high-rise building less overbearing. Hijjas’s ‘identity project’ also found expression in his own home, Rimbun Dahan, outside Kuala Lumpur where the house is a The restless type contemporary expression of the traditional kampung house.

The award winning Geelong Library and Heritage Centre by ARM Architecture has revitalised the cultural precinct; providing function coupled to an iconic aesthetic. The design connects and enhances existing underutilised space providing multiple layers of value. This project clearly demonstrates how in this case, holistic design can transform the quaint concept of a ‘library’ into a vibrant and energised vertical village where the community can meet, collaborate, engage, learn and celebrate. The project’s pragmatic success is apparent in the record breaking visitor numbers that have exceeded all expectation. Geelong Library and Heritage Centre by ARM Architecture.

  • The Idealised Image of the Australian Home: a Myth in the Making
    School of the Built Environment Department of Architecture and Interior Architecture The Idealised Image of the Australian Home: A Myth in the Making Irene (Oi Ling) Low This thesis is presented for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Curtin University July 2015 Declaration To the best of my knowledge and belief, this thesis contains no material previously published by any other person, except where due acknowledgment has been made. This thesis contains no material that has been accepted for the award of any other degree or diploma in any university. Signature: …………………………………………. Date: ………………………. ii Abstract This thesis questions and challenges the idealised image of the Australian home in the context of architecture and the media. In the Australian public’s imagination, the house—as a social, cultural and architectural ideal—has a very important mythological role. This was especially true in the 1950s after World War II, when it was considered that a single-storey bungalow with its own garden and the constant presence of women in proper aprons, deftly wielding electrical appliances, were normative home ideals to which most Australians aspired. Stemming from a desire to expose and demystify the underlying idealisations of the Western home, this thesis questions the values and attitudes implicit in the variety of messages with which mass culture bombards society, with images that attempt to universalise and naturalise meanings and values. In a society avid for images, the concept of myth provides a basis for a critique of the ‘naturalising effect’ of ideology of the idealised image of the Western architectural home. By adopting the concept of myth as a theoretical position, this thesis speculates on the spectacle and images of the architecture, society and culture of the home.

Our clients could only afford two panels and so sold the majority of their appliances. The two panels proved more than enough + our clients had to buy new appliances to ‘use up’ the stored energy. The lesson is that an understanding of energy and operational requirements is necessary for all involved in creating built environments.” Lindsay Clare - Director Architectus By learning about the building’s operation through experience + monitoring as part of their studies all students can learn how a building works (passively, technically and socially), Year 1 about light and ventilation, Year 2 about water, Year 3 etc...... the building as a ‘learning laboratory’ - fostering engagement and ownership and presenting the opportunity to deliver an experiential landmark for the university and the community.
