DATUM: GREEN FORUM
4 JULY (9.00 AM – 1.00 PM)
Plenary Hall (Level 1), Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre
DATUM GREEN IS PAM’S international green forum to explore green building designs, technologies, new solutions, new innovations in using sustainable materials, green building assessment and rating consultations delivering a greener tomorrow. The Forum participants comprise of architects, industry partners as well as educators and students.
1. Chatpong Chuenrudeemol (Thailand) A reversal to the aspirations of the majority, Chatpong prefered to work on limited budget architecture and make inspirational theses out of them. He worked his creativity out with innovative and thoughtful architecture that was manifested in construction camps to roadside parlours. It was a rebellious and challenging worldview that only the most accomplished practitioners can master.
2. Lucas Loo (Malaysia) Although bamboo has brought architecture to the cutting edge in surrounding countries like Vietnam, Indonesia and Thailand, bringing international recognition to the designers involved, Malaysia has yet to take bamboo structure to world-class status. Starting with bamboo cultivation in Perak, Lucas was well-placed to bring bamboo architecture to the fore at the international stage.
3. Azman Bin Md Nor (Malaysia) Architect Azman Zainal has put priority on the design aspect of architecture with emphasis on timber as main material. Green rating body in Malaysia used the architect’s work to exemplify green architecture. The architect provided a narrative of his journey as a design orientated “green” architect at the forum.
4. Mior Aizuddin (Malaysia) Architect-trained Mior had become a doyen in another related field, which was in landscape design. The crossover between architecture and landscape design created interesting outcomes, especially with regard to innovations. This was exemplified by the installation, “Temple of Togetherness” located in Taman Tasik Titiwangsa, a community built, perishable installation that would degrade with time.
