Video preparation
When preparing to present I realized there is so much to pack into a short 2 minutes. It's a practice I am to improve, hopefully will get better with time.
As a group we realized that there is a need for the advancement of timbre in construction, to celebrate its versatility, warmth and strength. In celebration there is discovery and through discovery there is knowledge.

As a group we realized that there is a need for the advancement of timbre in construction, to celebrate its versatility, warmth and strength. In celebration there is discovery and through discovery there is knowledge.
Hence, I would like to introduce you to Astaka, Discovery, one pavilion at a time.
Astaka is a pavilion derived from a specific joinery of the traditional Rumah Melayu, a staple of Malaysian architecture.
This joinery is tanggam tebuk, which is commonly used to hold up the corners of the structure without the use of nails. Truly showing the strength & versatility of timber.
Astaka aims to be a pavilion that celebrates timber and its sustainability. At the same time being modular in expansion, flexible in its assembly and captivating in its nature. Reflecting the nature of the Rumah Melayu.
The benefits you ask? Well, there are many that have been mentioned but our main benefit of this pavilion is in how it presents the beauty of timber through exhibition as it embodies the strength of timber as a pavilion.
Astaka will be different. With its most based form, a derivative of the tanggam tebuk, used repetitively in the pavilion in many ways.
This form, being made modular, allows it to be interactive, and easily available for any individual, to own, to experiment and to discover. One pavilion at a time.
