With the coursemates attending Kuala Lumpur Architecture Festival 2016. ARCHIDEX is a platform that demonstrate the vigorous growth and development of Malaysia's architecture industry for the preparation of the future. We had been exploring the various awards or other mark of recognition given in honor of an achievement which highlighting the architecture industry.

BAUHAUS is one of the exhibition booth which inspired me the most.

Those are recycle series. Bauhaus giving the materials (which is no longer useful or desirable) a renewed existence. Their cement and concrete recycled series make practical and effective use of industry waste or debris of any kind. Recycling adopts this harmful waste to become a pleasing useful objects in an innovative manner. What they want to present are not only PRODUCTS, but also SINCERITY TO DESIGN.

The boards exhibited at hall 7. The 2015 edition of the PAM Architecture Award.

The award aim to provide a platform for all graduating Malaysian architectural students throughout the world to present the best of their work from their architectural studies to the Malaysian industry.

However, this BARIO-CULTURAL VILLAGE: S- LONG HOUSE impressed me the most. This is because i'm from Sarawak and from what i see in sarawak, the long house is just a type of long, proportionately narrow, single-room building built. This S-Long House was imagined as a breath contemporary sensibilities that enliven heritage forms for an architecture. In all senses, it looks at modernity from the perspective of a traditional world.
