architectural schools have made their programmes more inclusive towards it than ever before. With
software and hardware becoming more affordable and accessible, architectural students have the
opportunity to push the envelope further, including interpreting heritage and historical architecture in a
new way.
This paper looks into an exploration of how computational design is used to generate new building
language within context of heritage zone integrated in the general urban fabric. The site is situated in
the old town of Johor Bahru, a city with long history and rich culture on the southern tip of the
Malaysian peninsular.
The theoretical design project takes advantage the rich heritage elements in the immediate surrounding
using algorithms managed by Grasshopper within Rhinoceros 3D modelling software. The process
derives elements and architectural features from the surrounding traditional Johor shop houses as form
generator, and produces contemporary interpretation unique to the site.
The outcome we explored is unhinged, bold and aggressive; but the process provides insight on how
computational design could be used to produce alternative architecture that captures the historical and
cultural elements and respects its surroundings.","2018","published",,,,,,,,"",,,,,"",,,,,"",,,,,"","",,"","","","ICOMOS","",,"scientific_symposium","19th General Assembly, New Delhi, 2017",,"en",,,,,"public",,"paper",,,,,,,,,"ICOMOS 19th General Assembly and Scientific Symposium ""Heritage and Democracy""","New Delhi, India","13-14th December 2017","other",,,,,,"TRUE",,,,,,,,,"","","","Atraii, N.
