“Streetware III believes in the value of urban and architectural recycling. The transformation of Wisma Central can be a reference in the context of KL. Existing conditions of the building become opportunities to guide the conceptual design narrative. The aim is to reinvent and enhance the character of the place.” – Naiara Vegara
This book summarizes the Streetware Kuala Lumpur experience, the first stop of a journey around Southeast Asia. The selected site for Kuala Lumpur Study is Wisma Central, a compact eleven–storey Building that now sit surrounded by high rise development at the prestigious location of KLCC, the business city district. Existing conditions of the building become opportunities to guide the conceptual design narrative that aim to reinvent and enhance the character of the place.

Visiting School Programme
“The AA Visiting School provides an opportunity for visiting students, young architects, recent graduates and other creative individuals to participate in the AA in a form that emulates the school’s famed ‘unit system’ – that is, through a highly focused short course pursuing a shared agenda of collaborative design, study, research and performance on subjects at the forefront of architectural discourse.
Established in 2008, the Visiting School’s only constant characteristic has been its experimental approach to architectural education. Agendas, places, people and programmes are continually reinvented.
Whether your interests lie in analogue or digital modelling, 2D or 3D production there is a myriad of mediums at your disposal allowing you to forge your own path in locations from Paris to Penang, from Beijing to Bogotá.
As we look back at the wide range of work completed this year by the different AA Visiting Schools we also look forward with excitement to what lies ahead for the future growth and reinvention of our global workshops.”
