PROJECT 3: GENIUS LOCI: VISITOR INTERPRETIVE CENTRE THE SITE OF THIS VISITOR INTERPRETIVE CENTRE IS AT LABRADOR RESERVE NATURE IN THE ISLAND OF SINGAPORE. IT IS A PARK WHERE PEOPLE CAN HAVE THEIR DAILY ACTIVITIES AND JOGGING. BUT BEFORE IT TURNED TO BE A PARK, IT WAS THEN A WAR FIELD IN 1941. WORLD WAR II, THEY CALLED. THE NUMBERS OF THE SOLDIERS DIED WERE UNCOUNTABLE. WHEN I REACHED THIS SITE AND WALKED ALONG THE HISTORY PATH, THE THINGS THAT COULD BE SEEN WERE MOSTLY CANNONS. THIS WAS WHEN MY CONCEPT IDEA CAME IN, AS THE SOLDIERS' MEMORIAL WERE JUST AT A CORNER SOMEWHERE IN THE PARK, UNLIKE THE CANNONS' AND WEAPONS' FIGURINES. MY CONCEPT FOR THIS VISITOR INTERPRETIVE CENTRE IS 'THE SACRIFICE OF THE SOLDIERS'. IN THIS CENTRE, IT SHOWCASES THE INFORMATION OF THE WORLD WAR II HISTORY AND SOME SHOWS ABOUT THE SOLDIERS AND THEIR CONDITIONS. THE FORM OF THIS VISITOR INTERPRETIVE CENTRE IS AN ORGANIC SHAPE WHICH REPRESENTS BLOOD FLOWS OF THE SOLDIERS, SOME PARTS OF THE FORM ARE CONCAVE. IT IS TO REPRESENT THE SCARS, THE SACRIFICE OF THE SOLDIERS. BESIDES THAT, THE CEILINGS OF INTERIOR HAVE LAYERS AND IT IS TO REPRESENT DIFFERENT LEVELS OF SACRIFICE THAT PEOPLE HAVE TO MAKE. FOR THE PLANS, IT IS IN LINEAR ARRANGEMENT AND THICK INTERNAL WALLS ARE TO REPRESENT THE TOUGHNESS OF THE SOLDIERS, THE ONES WHO FOUGHT FOR THE COUNTRY.
