d:CON 4_07 WORMHOLE

The concept of Wormhole was inspired by the installation A Slice of Space Times, which is a theoretical passage through space-time that could create shortcuts for long journeys across the universe. 
According to the article written by Nola Taylor Redd, Space.com Contributor, meanwhile in 1935, Einstein and physicist Nathan Rosen used the theory of general relativity to elaborate on the idea, proposing the existence of "bridges" through space-time. These bridges connect two different points in space-time, theoretically creating a shortcut that could reduce travel time and distance. The shortcuts came to be called Einstein-Rosen bridges, or wormholes.
The keywords "Linear", "Warped space time", and the "Fabric of space" was inspired by the concept of Wormhole. At the same time, the program proposed was Drive-Thru Gallery, which located at the beginning of Papan Main Street. 

Problem Statement: 
1. Road as the site, the proposed building might block the traffic circulation.  
2. Neighborhood - Existing building might be disturbed.
3. Lack of proper multipurpose space to carry out activities, such as exhibition, sales and festival celebration.
Design Solution : 
1. Elevated the building to let the passenger underneath see though the gallery.
2. Proposed structure location should not disturb daily activities of neighborhood.
3. Proposed drive thru gallery and provide multipurpose space at the same time.

Form - Space planning - Floor plan This is the first time for me to use this kind of design method to complete the studio. Especially when I saw the sketch of my lecturer, my whole brain was stop working. I spend a lot of time to digest the design proposal as well as lecturer's approved. "How deconstructivism show Malaysian's identities?"I asked. "It's like using chopstick to eat hamburger, " he said. Sketches by Ar. David Yek. The initial form of my building design. Honestly, it's ugly. I was stuck because of the form of the building. The shape of wormhole should be twist and warped. Structure of building form experiment. Structure of building "legs" sketches. However, during the tutorial, the structure was rejected due to the design language of neighbor building. My heart was broken as my model's structure. Restart and redo.

On 9 February, after taking 3 hours of journey from KL, we arrived at Papan, a small town which well know for tin mine in the early 20th century. Papan is also noted for being the home of war-time heroine Sybil Kathigasu, and today was called "dead town" due to the Papan Riot and Japanese Occupation. Half of the town lies in ruins but still has many memories to cherish. It is quite and peaceful, what is left is old people and some activities still going on. At the moment entering this abandoned town, a strong impression of walking in time came to me. This town is pretty much dead, with rows of shophouse on both sides of road, one primary school, few houses, and an Istana Billah. I have the opportunity to visit No.74 in the main street of Papan, which used to be Sybil Kathigasu's house and clinic during WWII. I almost cannot describe with words to express my feeling while walking into the houses. I walked into the spaces of time, experienced
