[email protected] Abstract. This research introduces the concepts of virtual heritage in the field of architecture. It then continues with the fundamentals of virtual heritage (VH) metadata structure adopted from the UNESCO guidelines. The key highlights to the content of e-Warisan SENIBINA will be demonstrated via techniques to reconstruct heritage buildings towards a collaborative architectural virtual heritage experience as closely to originally design features. The virtual re- construction will be based on the techniques suggested by the research team tested earlier in a smaller scale of advanced lighting technique for virtual heritage representations. This research will suggest (1) content preparation for creating collaborative architectural heritage, (2) effective low-polygon modelling solutions that incorporate global illumination (GI) lighting for real-time simulation and (3) texturing techniques to accommodate reasonable detailing and give the essence of the VH. Keywords. Simulation; virtual heritage; virtual reality; collaborative environment; realistic lighting. Introduction historic, artistic, religious and cultural significance and to deliver the results openly to a global audience Virtual reality technology has opened up possibili- in such a way as to provide formative educational ex- ties of techniques and effective ways for research, periences through electronic manipulations of time especially in the field of design, architecture, inter- and space.

  • WMATA State of Good Repair Years of Underfunding and Tremendous
    RECOMMENDATIONS WMATA State of Good Repair Years of underfunding and tremendous regional growth have resulted in underinvestment and significant deterioration of the Washington Metrorail’s core transit infrastructure and assets, creating substantial obstacles to consistently delivering safe, reliable, and resilient service to its customers. In an effort to bring the system up to a state of good repair, WMATA created Momentum, a strategic 10-year plan that has set short-term and long-term actions to accelerate core capital investment in state of good repair and sustain investment into the future. Momentum identifies a $6 billion list of immediate and critical capital investments, called Metro 2025, aimed at (1) maximizing the existing rail system by operating all 8-car trains during rush hour, (2) improving high-volume rail transfer stations and underground pedestrian connections, (3) enhancing bus service, (4) restoring peak service connections, (5) integrating fare technology across the region’s multiple transit operators and upgrading communication systems, (6) expanding the bus fleet and storage and maintenance facilities, and (7) improving the flexibility of the transit infrastructure. With the first capital investment alone, WMATA estimates a capacity increase of 35,000 more passengers per hour during rush hour, which is the equivalent of building 18 new lanes of highway in Washington, DC. The second investment is a “quick win” to relieve crowding in the system’s largest bottlenecks and bring its most valuable core infrastructure up to a state of good repair. MTA Transportation Reinvention Commission Report ~ 31 ~ RECOMMENDATIONS Improving the System: Régie Autonome des Transports Parisiens (RATP) and Transport for London (TfL) Major cities around the world, notably London and Paris, are investing in their core system by maintaining and renewing their assets.

  • Brochure Serai.Pdf
    Luxury is in the details PRE-RELEASE INFORMATION At BRDB, we are dedicated to creating inspiring places for people to live, work and grow in. This takes imagination and creativity, the kind that comes from a deep understanding of people’s ever-changing modern lifestyles. We know that creating the ultimate in urban lifestyle does not stop when a building is finished. We continue to care for the people who live and work in the spaces we create. Nowhere is this more evident than in the cosmopolitan neighbourhood of Bangsar. BRDB’s heritage in Bangsar started with its first community here in 1964. Our continuous investments in the Bukit Bandaraya locality have resulted in properties that stand the test of time and continue to appreciate in value. Our long term commitment to this community is perfectly encapsulated in this new luxury development that is Serai. A fitting tribute to the neighbourhood we call our home. 1973 First phase of link houses and bungalows completed in Bukit Bandaraya. Style meets charm The story between BRDB and Bangsar goes right back to the beginning, long before it became the cosmopolitan hub that it is today. Not too far from the city centre, but distant enough to enjoy quiet roads and fresh air, Bangsar’s charm originates from BRDB’s creation of a delightful community of locals and expatriates who infused the undulating landscape with their personalities. At the centre of this eclectic neighbourhood is Bangsar Shopping Centre, a dining and shopping venue whose popularity stretches far beyond this suburb. Around it lies the Bangsar that BRDB built - apartment blocks and condominiums, link houses and bungalows, townhouses, gated communities and even the road linking it to Damansara.

    INTI JOURNAL | eISSN:2600-7320 Vol.2020:062 DESTINATION IMAGE, HYPERREALITY, UNREAL IMAGE THROUGH FILMS. A CASE STUDY OF THE FILM CRAZY RICH ASIANS 1 Sriganeshvarun Nagaraj, 2Anil Aaron Selvaram 1,2INTI International University, Malaysia [email protected] [email protected] Abstract Crazy Rich Asians was one on the biggest hypes of cinema, from the Asian community and worldwide. It had an even bigger impact for Malaysians as Singapore was a stone throw away from Malaysia. The movie was a huge success within the Asian community, box office forking in international gross of $239 million, from just $30 million production budget. In October 2018, it was crowned the highest-grossing genre of romantic comedy from the last decade. However, the movie portrayal of Singapore was but a mere hyperreality and unreal image. Malaysia was a huge part of the film and was not given the credit it was due. The data was gathered using qualitative research method. In-depth interviews conducted with the sample, which were nine locals and 2 internationals selected based on criterion sampling. The data gathered was analysed based on 5 main themes, Tourism of Malaysia, portrayal of Malaysia, emotions of viewers, misrepresentation, and the awareness of viewers. Based on the data gathered locals and internationals viewers of the film feel negatively towards Crazy Rich Asians because of the potential that it could have on the Tourism of Malaysia. The respondent felt that the director could have given Malaysia its due credit rather than in the end credits. Keywords Film, Unreal Image, Destination Image, Misrepresentation, Hyperreality, Case Study Introduction From the Cinema to the home television, films had always played an impact on the viewers perception of how they see the world.
