TECHNOLOGY PARK MALAYSIA
Celcom R&D Center, Technology Park Malaysia [ click the pictures for bigger view ]
The building form was derived from the trapezoidal-shaped site. This unique site was used as a basis to impose a series of parallelograms, which then develops into the two triangle-shaped buildings.

The larger triangle-shaped buildings is the core of the R&D centre and the smaller triangle houses the auditorium and the exhibition gallery. In between the two buildings is a glass atrium. An open courtyard is placed in the centre of the core building for a natural tropical arboretum with a Meranti tree as its signature tree.

A Surau building (prayer hall) is located at the Plaza as a public facility and worshippers can overflow into this vast area. This building symbolises the balance between the spiritual and the material world that defines the Islamic beliefs.
