Malaysians ace architecture in Germany

All smiles: Kong, Tay, Ch’ng and Lee beat nine other teams to win the grand prize for their entry.

Their entry entitled “A Productive Neighbourhood – Revitalisation of the Slaughterhouse Area in Halle ” beat nine other entries, making them the winner of the 1,000 euro grand prize at the Students | Shaping | Future competition held on April 21 in BAU, the world’s leading trade fair for architecture, materials and systems in Munich.

“We would never have joined the competition in the first place, if it were not for him,” Kong told StarEdu. According to the team, their design was intended to preserve the historical value of the architectural heritage of the area, while opening up opportunities for innovation, education and social commitment.

In giving their feedback, the judges praised the team for “viewing sustainability in a broader sense and focusing on the big picture of future possibilities for the area’s development”. Asserting that architects do not work alone, Kong said the feasibility of implementing sustainable initiatives lies not only in the clients, investors and governing authorities, but also in the skillsets of construction workers and collaborations with different parties, such as engineers and contractors, to turn the architects’ ideas and proposals into reality.
