The old Madras Theatre Design Project’s Site (left): Petaling Street (right) 1.0 Introduction The site situated in between Jalan Hs Lee and Jalan Petaling (Petaling Street Flea Market) which used to be the high streets in the past and the populated areas today. In the past, the site itself was occupied by the famous Madras Theatre operated by Shaw Brothers between 1939 and 1978. It was considered the main gather point for the Chinese entertainment. However, on 1978, a huge fire destroyed the theatre and left the land empty until today serving as parking lot to the public. Therefore, community & cultural design studio proposed a performing facility as commemorative to the historical event on site and as a give back to the local community.

The chosen site for Community and Cultural Design Studio is located at KL Chinatown, Petaling Street is famous for stalls selling all sort of merchandise and of course the stalls serving the local delicacy. KL Chinatown is very unique in terms of morphological. It changes every hour through out the day, visitor will experience different things when they’re present in the KL Chinatown at different period of time. In the early morning, the stalls selling merchandise are closed and the once operating are the breakfast stalls and ground market. Vehicles are allowed to penetrate through the Petaling Street in the morning. Followed by the operating hours of merchandise stalls around 10am, vehicles will no longer be allowed into Petaling Street as the temporary structures of stalls slowly extended towards the street. In the evening, the temporary structures of the stalls will further extend to the middle of the street which breaks the pedestrian path into two and narrower in size. Tadao Ando’s Toward New Horizons in Architecture (1991), he recognizes that architecture produces new landscape and this has the responsibility to draw out the particular characteristic of a given place, basically the construction of place that blend into the context. With that statement, site visit has been conducted numerous times to be able to capture any interesting element as engine of exploration for designing a building where can be representative of KL Chinatown. Then decided to find out on how the temporary and permanent architecture work in Petaling Street which can’t be found anywhere in any other places, where there’s this very unique way of them co-exist under the same roof. In Genius Loci by Christian Norberg-Schulz (1979), the phenomenon of place can be in the form of tangible and non-tangible. Concrete term of environment is place, which are the act and occurrences take place or evidently an integral part of existence. Heidegger view towards phenomenology emphasizes on comparison between the outside and inside; nature versus man-made; earth and sky and etc. The comparison and versus method used by Heidegger has led to the research question study on relationship between permanent and temporary in KL Chinatown. To be able to understand more about the relationship between the temporary and permanent in Chinatown, 3 components of time, structural and program has been structured for further investigation. In journal on ‘Permanent versus Temporary’, the author written on how the temporary architecture evolves through out the time trace up to Hellenic times on its purpose and form. Today the industrial era is giving way to a technologically inspired and knowledge-based society in which definitions of concepts like ‘temporality’ and ‘permanence’ are again being redefined (Edginton & Chen, 2008, 1-6). Architects are again fascinated by the idea of temporality, to a degree not seen since the nineteen- sixties and -seventies, when experimental design teams explored what Peter Cook, a member of London’s Archigram, called “expendability” and “throwaway architecture” (Hawthorne, 2008) In the 1950s, the site was Chinese theatre called Madras Theatre. Unfortunately, it was burnt down due to electrical short circuit which causing the Madras Theatre to close down forever. It was a famous gathering spot for the Chinese community to have fun and enjoy the show. 2.0 Theoretical Position & Design Statement Culture and Community Design Studio 5
2.1 Design statement Until today, most visitors perceive KL Chinatown as a pirated goods shopping and food heaven, tend to forget about all the history and culture of KL Chinatown. When it comes to business, almost all the happening once are taking place in stalls and in temporary form instead of the permanent shops behind them which causes the temporary structure and program to slowly taking over the whole KL Chinatown. Exploration and analysis on the relationship found between the permanent architecture and temporary architecture that shape the cultural identity in KL Chinatown. By collecting and analysing the characteristic found then translate into architecture design by extracting the architectural quality points as reference. Performing centre KL Chinatown architectural design proposes a building that, in its graphical representation, a dialogue with the building that democratizes the views towards the Jalan Sultan and is presented as a new architectural icon of KL Chinatown. The idea is that the new performing facility will become a meeting place for locals and tourists. The program includes short and long- term exhibition areas, with a black box theatre that can host from 300 seats up to 600 seats, commemorative museum, food and beverages serving the local delicacy, studio spaces for practices, administrative rooms, library, souvenirs shop, cafeteria, panoramic public space, balconies. The building will have 4 floors, plus the 2 basements, ground floor and terrace. The three-main aspect that I’ve explored from studying the relationship between the permanent and temporary in KL Chinatown are: The idea of expansion and borrowing happened throughout the KL Chinatown, the expansion of the program and structure directly impact on the morphology of the streetscape throughout the whole KL Chinatown. Due to the idea expansion, the KL Chinatown always look different each hour throughout the day From a very empty street in the early morning, as the time passes, more and more temporary structure pooping out from the permanent up to the street. In designing of theatre, to be able to achieve flexibility to host different events and more audience. The theatre design adapting the idea of expansion where the theatre seats has been separated into 2 parts using movable acoustic partition where the front parts able to host up to 330 audience and the remaining part would be able to host another extra 300 audience which is with the total of 600+ seats up to maximum extend. This is to adapt to different needs and volume of different performances as some might come with super large crowd of audience. Besides, the theatre is designed in such gigantic volume as rumoured one of the biggest performing art centre in KL area “KL PAC” to be closing down due to insufficient fund. So, the Madras 2.0 Performing Theatre will play a big role in continuing to serve the theatre lovers around Kuala Lumpur. My research also centred around case study and work done by architects about the idea of expansion, borrowed space and boundaries in both temporary architecture and permanent architecture. Studies on various writings and work done by architects: 1. Case study 1, Le Corbusier’s free plan (furniture boundary) 2. Case study 2 Ludwig Mies Van Der Rohe’s open plan (structure as boundary) 3. Case study 2, SANAA (boundary) 4. Case study 3, Pompidou Centre by Richard Rogers & Renzo Piano (temporary& permanent, borrowed space) 5. Case study 4, London Olympic Stadium by Populous (expendable architecture) 6. Plugin Tower / People's Architecture Office (expendable architecture) Culture and Community Design Studio 6
2.1 Design statement The objectives are as follows: 1. To identify the characteristic found between permanent architecture and temporary architecture in KL Chinatown by exploring and look into how both permanent and temporary architecture work together on site in KL Chinatown. On how their spaces work, what kind of structural used and what kind of programs accommodate in what kind of architectural condition. 2. To understand how studying the relationship between both permanent and temporary architecture in KL Chinatown can contribute designing architecture by investigating the different possibilities to transform all unique characteristics found as method in various modes then to explore how this idea could apply to accommodate different functions, usage and needs in contextualized form. Studying the relationship between them to find the language of how characteristic found in KL Chinatown to form identity to create spatial experiential spaces. Hence to explore how idea of harvesting characteristic found can be transform and design to suit human scale and interest. 3. To examine relationship between the unique characteristic harvested by looking into the relationship between the permanent architecture and temporary architecture in KL Chinatown. Which is to use identities and relationship found as element to find out the potential interactivity in order to explore how this idea could form the multiple layers of activities, functions, usage and needs yet contextualized. Thus, to explore possibilities of outcome to translate into designing performing facility in Madras Square. The research question: How does the phenomenon of symbiosis relation between the permanent architecture and temporary architecture in Chinatown can be used in designing performing facility that represent the cultural identity of KL Chinatown?
