Sandwiched between Sri Kuala Lumpur’s (Sri KL) secondary school block and the facilities block, a new Music and Practice Hall was designed to interconnect all existing buildings and concurrently as a spatial organiser to consolidate interstitial activities of the school’s varying programmes. Inspired by Rudolf Laban’s notation system for recording and analysing human movement (1928), a similar approach was undertaken to arrange the buildings accommodation: ie. orchestra, dance, choir and gallery, with the activated, interstitial spaces.
