Editor's Letter EDITOR’S Pertubuhan Akitek Malaysia LETTER Sarawak Chapter 3/ 2014-15 Dec Dear readers, This is the last issue for 2014 and the penultimate issue for me as editor. In March 2015, we hope to publish a bumper issue in conjunction with my going away / stepping aside / putting out to pasture, and in time for the AGM. So, if you are interested, or know of anyone who is interested in getting involved in this newsletter - nominate them during the Annual General Meeting. In the issue, we meet Tina Lau, one of the directors at IDC (Integrated Design Consultants) to talk about their practice and to feature their key projects. We also interviewed four local firms who were involved in the implementation of public spaces in Sarawak; we discuss the meaning of useful and relevant urban spaces for the local population. Our chapter have been busy preparing for next year’s events; PAMSC Gala Dinner and Design Forum are previewed. The Education sub committee hosted students from UCTS (University College of Technology Sarawak) by organising talks and building tours, while Ivy (Graduates) met with Tay Tze Yong to discuss the recent Archiprix Student Competition in KL. Mike (Conservation) recently gave a talk in Penang and found time to submit two articles for this issue. It is little wonder that our ‘little’ chapter is the envy of many; often described as energetic and cohesive - capable of organising many events and activities such as study trips, WAD and BTS. For that, I am grateful for the teamwork that make these quarterly ‘projects’ so satisfying and fun. Thank you.

Stephen Liew Recently, I set an assignment for my students to design a space in the city that the public can use without spending money – spaces that are accessible and open to members of the public; ‘a public space’, which Greetings to all PAMSC Members, prompted me to feature some of our local ‘public spaces’. And to raise the question, This quarter has been very busy and fruitful, in particular the work that has gone into organizing the upcoming PAMSC Building Trade Show (BTS) 2015, Design Forum 2015 and the various CPD Events. We extend our gratitude to local speaker, Ar. Wee Hii Min whose recent lecture What is a public space? ‘Draw, Build; Learn’ recorded the highest attendance in PAMSC Lecture Series; well done! It has also come to my knowledge that our PAMSC’s candidates have not done well in the recent PART III Exams, and the national passing There are many definitions, some architectural, others social; most are rate has dropped to below 10%. This is not a healthy situation; PAMSC will be stepping up our initiative by inviting all graduate members to scholarly and lengthy – but they share the view that public space must come forward to air their views, concerns and apprehensions. To this end, we have nominated Past Chairman, Ar. Desmond Kueh to reach have the following attributes: out to graduate members and to mentor those sitting for their exams. The Graduates and Education sub-committees headed by Ar. Ivy Jong and Ar. Felix Wee respectively have also been instrumental in obtaining video recordings of the relevant lectures that took place in PAMKL. 1. It must be accessible to the public regardless of race and gender, social status and ideology. I finish by encouraging all members to take part in PAMSC’s activities and events. May the coming holiday seasons and festivities bring you all good fortune and happiness. 2. It must allow freedom of action within the space, and freedom to enter and depart as one pleases. 3. Finally and perhaps most importantly (to me) it should reflect the beliefs Best wishes, and practices of the people it serves. Ar. Stephen Liew As cities grow denser and living conditions become more compact, the public space becomes more important – here are some of the characteristics of successful modern public spaces: a. Pedestrian priority – this does not mean the complete exclusion of vehicles, at times it is adequate to simply widen the walking lanes. Walking increases the opportunity for interaction and un-planned encounters and diversions; making public life more interesting. Public spaces must allow freedom of action within the b. Mixing uses and activities – this could mean allowing the public to space. (Forecourt of the M.o.C.A., Barcelona,) take over and ‘invent’ their own activities; an open air market during the weekend, performances in the evening, etc. c. Human scale – there should be spaces for various levels of interaction; from public (> 4.0m) to social (1.2 – 4.0m) to personal (0.5 – 1.2m) to intimate (0 – 0.5m). d. Location and accessibility – since cities are run by commerce and politics, location of public spaces are not always based on accessibility and need. Many Olympic Parks are in this category. e. Culture and Identity – in many instances, we remember and identity a city by its public spaces, especially ones that are deeply rooted in the The old Satok Market has the human verve characteristic city’s past and culture. Often one of the most effective ways of linking of organic urbanscapes. a public space to the city’s past is the renewal and re-use of an old historical precinct which is imbued with historical meaning and identity. Another school of thought would argue that the public realm has evolved into other forms; the shopping mall and the digital realm for example. But in my mind, this argument is flawed – the mall is part of private enterprise and one is politely told to leave at closing time while the media lacks the richness of human interaction and chance encounters. So, to echo my students at the end of semester – ‘did we pass?’ did we satisfy the criteria for attractive and useful public space? I am aware that the featured projects may have been designed with other objectives in mind. Nonetheless, they will be regarded as public spaces by the community and The old Zhongshan-shipyard lends cultural identity as new used as such, so I think the self-assessment is crucial if we were to improve public park. the quality of our urban life.

The newly completed riverwall and promenade doubles the existing water frontage of the town square to half a kilometre with a 8m wide promenade along the whole waterfront. The landscaping works, now in progress, includes pocket gardens with shady trees so that locals can jog, cycle or simply enjoy Sibu’s riverine sunsets. The existing Town Square has been given an upgrade with new sub-soil drainage works so that it remains dry for outdoor activities such as kite-flying and other outdoor activities. The completed park will be laced with lush green trees with dense foliage to provide shade while some seasonal flowering trees have been included to bloom with colorful blossoms. Thoughtfully planned activity areas include a skate park and sculpted landforms as children’s playground, surrounded by meandering scenic jogging tracks. The design concept is based on a ‘Village’ setting of commercial activities that includes the essence and charm of our local culture and architecture. The focal point provided by the Multi-purpose Lawn is strategically surrounded by various local built forms such as a ‘barok’ style open amphitheater cum stage, two seafront restaurants and bar, open-air food court and various low rise retail and service outlets. These are connected by a covered walkway that is a reflection of the communal ‘ruai’ - a sheltered street that wraps around the inner side of the ‘Village’ and allows visitors to view the various scenes and activities that takes place on the Lawn. Outside the centre of Damai Central, a cultural promenade links the Sarawak Cultural Village to the beach, at its end a hornbill sculpture watches over the activities at the cascading lawn of the beach front promenade.

  • MISC. HERITAGE NEWS –March to July 2017
    MISC. HERITAGE NEWS –March to July 2017 What did we spot on the Sarawak and regional heritage scene in the last five months? SARAWAK Land clearing observed early March just uphill from the Bongkissam archaeological site, Santubong, raised alarm in the heritage-sensitive community because of the known archaeological potential of the area (for example, uphill from the shrine, partial excavations undertaken in the 1950s-60s at Bukit Maras revealed items related to the Indian Gupta tradition, tentatively dated 6 to 9th century). The land in question is earmarked for an extension of Santubong village. The bulldozing was later halted for a few days for Sarawak Museum archaeologists to undertake a rapid surface assessment, conclusion of which was that “there was no (…) artefact or any archaeological remains found on the SPK site” (Borneo Post). Greenlight was subsequently given by the Sarawak authorities to get on with the works. There were talks of relocating the shrine and, in the process, it appeared that the Bongkissam site had actually never been gazetted as a heritage site. In an e-statement, the Sarawak Heritage Society mentioned that it remained interrogative and called for due diligences rules in preventive archaeology on development sites for which there are presumptions of historical remains. Dr Charles Leh, Deputy Director of the Sarawak Museum Department mentioned an objective to make the Santubong Archaeological Park a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2020. (our Nov.2016-Feb.2017 Newsletter reported on this latter project “Extension project near Santubong shrine raises concerns” – Borneo Post, 22 March 2017 “Bongkissam shrine will be relocated” – Borneo post, 23 March 2017 “Gazette Bongkissam shrine as historical site” - Borneo Post.

No part of this publication may be reproduced in any form without the permission of Sarawak Heritage Society (SHS) and Malaysian Institute of Architects Sarawak Chapter (PAMSC). Welcome to Kuching, Sarawak! Take a quick look around Kuching and you will certainly notice a historic building or site, stately and unique, enchanting always; these are just some of the attractive charms of the city. Singularly or clustered, these fascinating cultural and historic icons are found at almost every turn and step you take around the city. Starting from the Brunei Sultanate Empire during the 17th and 18th Century to the White Rajahs for much of the 19th and 20th Centuries, the city's wealth of heritage sites offer an exciting mix of western and eastern influences spread within walking distances of each other. A haven to most, it is also bewilderment in choice of venues to visit for those with premium on time. Amidst the skylines of the City today, you will also find distinctive buildings from the days gone by, from the Brooke Era’s and British Colonial style architectures, archaic Chinese temples and alleyways to surprisingly fresh new looks for centuries old shophouses. This once riverine trading post has since then grown to be a strategic port, administrative town, business centre and capital city. Almost all the modern amenities expected of a city are available here, minus the hustle and bustle of a metropolis. Careful planning of the surrounding environment to maintain this leisurely pace is Kuching's gift to residents and visitors alike, a feeling of warmth and comfortable existence that's real and stimulating.

  • The Story of 13
    THE STORY OF 13th AUSTRALIAN GENERAL HOSPITAL 8th DIVISION 2nd A. I. F. 1941 – 1945 This un-official history of the 13 Australian General Hospital during WW2 was written by A.C. (Lex) Arthurson VX61276 who was a Corporal in the unit. It was prompted by former POW nurse Vivian Bullwinkel asking if the history had ever been written. Lex undertook to do it. With the assistance of others, it was completed over two years. The original document was enhanced by many newspaper cutting, pictures and sketches. It was not possible to reproduce these. Some alternative images have been inserted. (Most of the sketches inserted into the story were done by Corporal Dick Cochran 2/12 Field Company (Engineers) and provided to me by Ken Gray former National President ex POWs Association). I am grateful to Lex for permission to reproduce this history. It is pleasing to note the extensive (and rightful) coverage given to the Nurses in this history.

Regular Guest lecturer: Management and Business, IPB (Bogor Agricultural University) E-mail: [email protected], [email protected] Abstract Perak is one of the 13 states of Malaysia. It is the second largest state in Peninsular Malaysia. There are 136 destinations on Perak, but based on sustainable tourism concept, there are only less than 15 % destinations were sustained, and most of them were un-sustained. So, based on techno-centrism’s philosophy, we try to develop new prospective sustainable tourism for the balance destinations. It not only could improve local economic growth, but also could improve the quality of destination’s environment and strengthen the regional tourism institution in improving their performance on serving local communities. Furthermore, to fulfill the aim of the research by using techno-centrism’s philosophy, and content analysis to tabulate the research which was conducted for 3 months, we tried to develop new prospective destination by finding the way out how to improve the amount of destination down Perak areas. Keywords: techno-centrism; sustainable tourism; Perak; and Malaysia. INTRODUCTION Perak State Government considered making a firm decision to be restructured around agriculture, manufacturing, construction, trade and commerce.

It is also hoped that it will be of value to the ever- increasing army of travellers as a guide-book to many places which, although they lie out of the ordinary route, will well repay a visit.
