Area

Context

The Garden International School is an existing campus located in densely populated residential area in Kuala Lumpur. Alongside the Performing Arts Centre, the masterplan includes a Sports Facilities Building, new entries and a sub basement carpark under an outdoor sporting field. The masterplan re-organises pedestrian movement and vehicular access to the school, relieving stress on local traffic during peak school times.

Concept

The Performing Arts Centre (PAC) includes three key performance spaces including a highly creative and contemporary theatre with 560 seat capacity, Recital and Rehearsal Studio, and an Experimental Black Box Studio.

The new performance spaces will be forward looking and will consider future digital trends in theatre production and performance (including scenic projection). The PAC will create intimate audience/ performer experiences and be flexible to reflect the range of uses, the contemporary format of the room and the aspiration to present multiple theatre and music formats.

A large covered foyer will be the new school centre that designed to facilitate day to day school social interation, informal learning and performance, and cater for a range of other school and prefunction activities and events. This multi-use foyer reintroduces the tropical garden to provide an exciting, weather protected, outdoor place for all school users. Kirk has carefully detailed the space to ensure adequate daylight and air movement which is critical in the tropics.

The brief was developed collaboratively in close consultation with the Client executive, school management and teaching groups.
