its my birthday, and as strange as it seems, somehow it feels right to make an entry in my blog. some close people have already wished me well on facebook, so thats kinda cool and its nice to get good wishes every once in a while.so as i write this, conan's the tonight show on astro in on, and a couple of wise cracks are in the air.of course its way too early for anything to happen, so lets just see what the day brings. i'd like to end this entry with a list of projects that i'm particularly proud of.
a church in bangsar, entitled [ The Lantern Of Peace] . i was given the chance to design a house of worship and i felt blessed that the people in church were happy with my ideas and accepted a non- Christian to design a sacred sanctuary for them.
An office for the Legal Aid Centre, which is connected back to the Malaysian Bar Council. this is the division of the legal fraternity that helps people who cant afford lawyers and thus does mostly work on a pro-bono basis.
the beginning of my first bungalow project in shah alam, called
The House Of The Luminous Heart, where the design centres on ideas rooted in a language of the tropics, an architectural vocabulary of earthly colour schemes and materials, a sense of openness from one space to another, high ceilings and long eaves. its so cool for it all to be coming together these past 6 months or so. thank you, frank llyod wright.
a restaurant that serves pastries and dessert, that is based on a mix of an eastern - influenced appearance within a modern space. the wallpaper subtly showcases a pattern of leaves in a quite gold hue, flanked above with a wave - like form that has lights placed randomly like stars at night, and a general ambiance of warm colours and lights and calm surroundings. this one im gonna call [ The Forest Of Golden Leaves ]
the beginning of a design for a residence that incorporates a contemporary indian identity. a juxtaposition of white geometric forms with an intricately design aluminium screen filled with simplified lotus images. i'm gonna call it The Lotus Cube.
its been an interesting year, no doubt, and undeniably the best thing so far was my trip to seoul, south korea. lets see what else this interesting year brings, shall we?
