Client Raja Shahriman is looking for a gallery to showcase his metal sculpture artworks, which also includes an area for his private studio for the making of his designs.
Raja Shahriman carries a very different faith as a Muslim. As stonge as he is, he has never given up his dream to sculp huma figure, which the Muslim faith rejects. He justifies his artwork as having the presence of movements inspired by the Malaysian martial arts, 'Silat', rather than the figure itself.
What makes a 'still' movement, a 'slow', and what's makes it 'fast'? What can be the best material to assist in its expression? Within the time frame the metal mealts for the sculpture to be crafted, what can be done?
This project takes on Raja Shahrima's integrity in his design to suggest and to express movements in 'still form'. It explores geometry of primitive forms known to be 'static', exploded and reassembled to indicate a sense of dynamism in the geometry.
Circulation is base on a continuous centric space; where the linearity of the spatial flow is totally dependent on the atmosphere of the artium that provides all the mixed sounds, lighting, and ventilation. Very similar to the gallery Wright did for Guggenheim.
