I was an architecture student from the year 1998 to 2004, at Kulliyyah of Architecture and Environmental Design (KAED), International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM). For my final year's Pre-Design Thesis, I choose to develop a Riverside Civic Centre at both sides of Klang River.
It was not an easy task to design a new building in the historical city of Klang without taking into account its outstanding image as the trading city. This is how I end up with the final building design that looks like a capsized boat. The boat relates to the river and the history behind the present Klang. I also relocated existing shoplots nearby into the "boat" to symbolise the boat as the medium of trading activities rooted a few centuries back in Klang.
