Post-pandemic in October 2020, my team received a project grant to conduct a knowledge-transfer programme with a community in Kuala Lumpur. This grant is not a research grant, which meant that it had to be executed as a project. Our selected community was the community of PPR Gombak Setia, located in Taman Melati, Kuala Lumpur – not far from our IIUM campus. Since most of my team members are from the design field, our approach for this project is to create a communal space through placemaking. We wanted to help the community transform an abandoned space into their vibrant communal space, while at the same time, sharing some creative skills and activities with them.
We have summarised our project journey in this e-book. We hope that it can be a reference for others as well. Click on the cover to access our flipbook.
