Last Thursday, our studio went on our first field trip together to a few places in the city to 'shop for details in design' as said by my studiomaster. We went to Petaling Jaya Trade Centre, Point 92, Ikea and Sasana Kijang.
We arrived at Petaling Jaya Trade Centre (PJTC) at about 10.20 am and immediately split into 2 groups. PJTC was designed by one of my favourite local architects, Kevin Low.
I admire the way he used the materials and his details especially with the stairs and various pockets of spaces where people can sit down and relax.
It is hot season now in Malaysia, however due to the way the building was designed, we hardly felt the heat. Especially when we were standing in the public area.
The landscape of the building was designed by Seksan (also one of my favourite local architects). All in all, it was a really impressive building however we weren't allowed to take photos once we were in the building. Weird policy.
After that, we walked to Point 92 which was designed by ZLG architects and was signed by my history lecturer, Ar Mastor. Since it was an office building, we could only walk around the public space.
We proceeded to Ikea for lunch and window shopping for interior designs.
After lunch, we went to Sasana Kijang and walked around the gallery. There were various galleries including an art gallery and a children's gallery on money. Sasana Kijang was designed by Hijjas Kasturi's daughter and is used as the office for the national bank.
Thats all for now!
I've got a big day tomorrow! I'll tell you more about it soon !
Xx,
Sarah
