VISUAL BASH: 100-storey Megatower!
By Norman Teh
Welcome to VISUAL BASH, a column in which designer Norman Teh turns his critical, designerly eye on the visual culture of KL! This time around: the planned Warisan Merdeka site!
Malaysia has never been in short supply of architectural ambitions: grand schemes for new, intelligent cities; designer malls; the arenas and stadiums that played host to the Commonwealth games. The government has outdone itself with its new proposal: the Warisan Merdeka tower, an epic structure with 100 storeys and a RM5 billion price tag. The project promises to be a five-star green building, provide jobs — and a lot of disappointment for the rakyat.
