“Pada kerjasama yang dilakukan ini ialah memperlihatkan pihak yang terlibat menjayakan pembangunan landskap berkualiti serta berlestari yang memberikan banyak manfaat kepada golongan sasar. “Pelajar juga dapat menunjukkan bakat terpendam mereka yang selama ini hanya ditunjukkan dalam kertas yang berbentuk idea sahaja tanpa praktikal yang sebenar.

“Diharapkan pendedahan seperti ini cukup berguna dan dapat digunakan oleh mereka dengan sebaik mungkin,” katanya kepada Sinar Harian di Kampung Sejagong, Sri Medan, baru-baru ini. Beliau ditemui ketika hadir pada Program Kelestarian Kampung Sejagong/Sri Kepoh yang dianjurkan UTM dengan kerjasama Jawatankuasa Penyelarasan Mukim-Mukim (JPMM) Dun Sri Medan.

Menurut Ahmad Nazri lagi, program itu juga akan dapat mengekal dan mempertingkat persekitaran yang kondusif serta mampan, juga mewujudkan kerjasama yang erat di kalangan mereka.

“Ia juga dapat mentransformasikan landskap kampung kepada lebih berkualiti dan menarik. “Paling utama dalam program ini adalah menjadikan Kampung Sejagong/Sri Kepoh sebagai salah satu destinasi pelancongan kampung yang  unggul di peringkat nasional serta global,” katanya.

Sementara itu, wakil pelajar, Tan Ying Ying berkata, pendedahan itu amat berguna buat dirinya serta penuntut lain yang menyertainya. “Saya dan juga pelajar lain dapat menunjukkan bakat yang terpendam selama ini, yang sebelum  ini hanya kami tunjukkan secara teori sahaja di dalam kelas,” katanya.

DESIGN BRIEF:

Taking its name from bougainvillea, Bougain‘villa’ is vision of home with beauty, idyllic and comfort. A journey of discovery along the meandering path awaits the visitor to come to the villa.

Putrajaya (Garden and intelligent city) is a place where people live, play and work. The fusion of elements;  umbrella, dome and bougainvillea make up a space like home in making Putrajaya land as a model city.

Elements and Symbolism:

The journey is based from bougainvillea bracts to bring visitors through human with their relationship, responsibility and appreciation.

Dome at the middle of bougain‘villa’ symbolized Putrajaya. It shows that all human connections evolve in Putrajaya.

Umbrella sign as thermal comfort living. The form is assimilating from the form of bougainvillea flower.

Design Approaches:

1. Man+Man (Relationship)

The colourful bracts simply reflect the variety races in Malaysia.

2. Man+God

As referred to the hadith saying;

“He brought you into being from the earth, and made you dwell in it”-(Sura Hud:61)

From the hadith, the greenery and colourful flower is one of the ways to beautify the bare earth.

 3. Man+Environment (Appreciation)

Utilizing the plants as one of the way to make people realize the uniqueness of environment and the same time developing human awareness.
