In conjunction with World Architecture Day 2018 (WAD2018), IN PARALLEL is an exhibition as an ode to places and the built environment in which we inhabit, through a showcase highlighting the untold narratives of our buildings, our cities, and some amongst the many architectural achievements of our country.
Created in 1985 by the Union of International Architects (UIA), the World Architecture Day is celebrated annually, with 5th October as the day celebrated for the year 2018. Such a date was chosen because on this day the United Nations celebrates World Habitat Day. Globally, this year's programme is to remind the world of its collective responsibility for the future of the human habitat with the message "Architecture... for a better world!"
IN PARALLEL will be featuring INTENT with FIXATION.
INTENT
PAM Awards 2018
Intent is a showcase of the processes / sketches / drawings / details of the winning projects of PAM Awards 2018. As completed architectural projects often represented by final images, design processes, in its nature, suggests further thought processes. Every architecture has an intention and narration. The strokes, technicalities and attention to detail portrayed by these processes are intended to represent the PAM Awards 2018 projects from the drawing board.
The annual PAM Awards is the premier award for architecture in Malaysia, recognising the contributions made by architects in terms of design quality and that of the built environment. It is likened to the Academy Awards of the film industry, and in this respect, awards are bestowed on the best works which are recognised by peers in the architectural industry and the public alike.
FIXATION
: a series of obsessive interest in or feeling about a person, a place or an idea.
Fixation, by R+, is a reproduction of raw thought processes and extractions through observations over Ground Control. Varied materials from sketches, ideas and musings takes a close glance over particular known and strange details of everyday simple things.
R+ runs an on-going research that studies possible narratives of a collective identity. The focus of the research looks into a wider narrative encompassing culture, language, people, history, arts - the intangibles that make the tangible. Throughout the research, Ground Controls are continuously carried out to capture essences of a place. These place-based explorations are studied through the action of ‘observe and collect’ - translated onto mediums of photography, maps, drawings and cultural dialogues.
