TASK 

Part 2

Standing on the threshold of Kampung Morten, a rich tapestry of history, culture, and vibrant life unfolds before us.Our mission: to design a Discovery Center that not only preserves this essence but breathes new life into it. We embark on a journey, delving into the heart of the community, listening to the whispers of the past and the pulse of the present.

Our vision: a two-storey haven, a physical point of reference that keeps the soul of Kampung Morten alive. This is no ordinary museum; it's a living, breathing entity, a vibrant celebration of the diversity and dynamism that defines this place. We weave a narrative, not from dry facts and figures, but from the very fabric of the community itself. Whether we choose a concentric layout, drawing visitors deeper into the Kampung's embrace, or a linear path, mirroring the story-laden flow of the river, every step will be an immersive experience.

Modifying elements of architecture become our tools, not just bricks and mortar. Adaptable spaces transform to host workshops and demonstrations, keeping traditions alive. Interactive exhibits invite visitors to become active participants in the Kampung's narrative, their stories intertwining with ours. Here, the past is not a relic to be observed, but a springboard for the future.

Our commitment extends beyond mere preservation.We envision a center that fosters the well-being of the community. Gallery spaces showcase the creativity and resilience of Kampung Morten, while a cafe and souvenir corner support local businesses. A dedicated contemplation space offers a moment of quiet amidst the bustling activity, reminding us of the importance of inner peace. Universal design ensures accessibility for all, reflecting our commitment to inclusivity.

This Discovery Center is not just a structure; it's a bridge. A bridge between past and present, tradition and modernity, community and visitor. It's a platform for cultural exchange, a catalyst for economic empowerment, and a testament to the enduring spirit of Kampung Morten. We invite you to join us on this journey, where history whispers its secrets and the future awaits to be shaped, hand in hand, with the community that makes this place truly special.
