[...] ” Malaysia is no stranger to iconic buildings. Two of the tallest buildings in the world, the Petronas Twin Towers, are located in Kuala Lumpur, the country’s capital. So it comes as no surprise to us that a stunning new residential development is planned for the Putrajaya waterfront known as Precinct 4, just 30km south of Kuala Lumpur. The design, however, is a refreshing and original with unique, marine-inspired structures – which also draw from traditional Islamic designs – arranged in a permeable, radiating block of bioclimatic architecture. ” (via Inhabitat) [...]

The idea sounds great.
But I hope they use energy saving electrical appliance too. Like 6 star rating washing machine, fridge etc..
Support recycling of materials etc etc.
Plus I hope the residents uses low emission vehicles, instead of old 5 year old diesel trucks that spew out black smog.

Interesting yes, and I love the green aspect of it.

Original… well there is a striking resemblance between them and the Tijabaou Cultural Center.

But If I recall the curved structures in Tijabaou were a front wall and didn\\\\\\\’t continue all the way around the building.

The idea sounds wonderful.

But I hope they also consider using 6-star electrical appliance too
For example, water-saving washing machine, fridge, air-condition etc etc
And I also hope that they start have a recycling center and support the use of electric / hybrid / low emission vehicles.

Otherwise all the environmental benifits will be negated.
Dont mean to be negative, but after nearly 30 years in Malaysia, the low environmental impact sounds only lip service to me

What in my mind makes this buildings stand out, outside of the green aspect of design is the way it reflects cultural heritage of its location. Too many developments around the world even though striking in design, have a tendency of following the same established norm. It’s nice to see something that reflects unique aspects of a culture when traveling abroad, or even across the state lines. Often we are presented with the same looking chain restaurants, stores, plazas that make you question why you even traveled in the first place.
