Chapter 2 : KEY PUBLIC BUILDING

The public building we chose to write on is Warung Fariz. It is located in the kampung itself, very close by the meeting place. This warung was built nearly 20 years ago.

2.1   View of the warung

Why did we choose this warung? Firstly, it is a makan place. We, Malaysians, are well-known for our ever-growling stomachs, longing for the yummiest delicacies we can find. 

And in this case, it's the Malay food that we can find in this warung.

From mi goreng, nasi goreng, pasembor, nasi lemak to laksa, most of the typical Malay food can be found in this warung.

2.2   The typical Malay food

But let's not get carried away with the mouth-watering food and get started with the more non-food related information 
on this warung.

-Plan view of the warung-

-Circulation elements-

The restaurant has a parallel plane and a symmetrical layout. The space and arrangement are balanced with the axis at the center. It creates a harmonic feeling within the space.

-Side elevation view of the warung-

-Form & space-

-Section A-A view of the warung-

A linear form is easily seen from the elevation. From the elevation, we can see that this house has an overhead base plan as the dining space is opened and with very little enclosure.

The dining space and cooking space are divided. The dining space is opened while the cooking space is enclosed.

-Axonometric drawing of the warung-

The opened space is public space, where people dine and gather. While the enclosed space includes kitchen, storage and toilet, where only staffs are allowed to enter.

It is kampung people's all time favorite warung because of its variety of food and also a gathering place for the villagers.
