Description

Essence of Place: Design for the Tropics provides an insightful look into the works of Malaysia-based practice led by Eleena Jamil.  Featuring fifteen projects spanning from 2010-2020, the book explores ways in which physical data such as geography, people, and materials and aspects of memory relating to tradition, culture, and history have shaped her work and contextual approach to architecture. The influences of an architectural education in the UK are explored, as well as design thinking shaped by an understanding of the past as present within the context of Malaysia and Southeast Asia. The book is divided into six sections to describe the motivating ideas and different aspects of her practice’s concern. Each section begins with a short essay written by Eleena to set the background for built case study projects. The essays are titled Grounding Architecture, About Making
