Expatriate Malaysia - Putrajaya International Convention Centre, Malaysia

The location of the Putrajaya International Convention Centre is on top of Taman Puncak Selatan in Precinct 5, the Sports and Recreational Precinct that will be home for residential neighbourhoods and waterfront developments. Precinct 5 is located at the south of the core island. It is the culmination of the main axis that runs from Perdana Putra i.e. the Prime Minister's Office, to Dataran Putra, along the main boulevard and major public squares and across the bridge over the lake. Taman Puncak Selatan terminates this axis and this commanding hill provides an impressive setting for the Putrajaya International Convention Centre.

Putrajaya International Convention Centre

The Convention Centre takes its shape from the eye of the "pending perak" with the main halls set in the "eye" of the "pending perak". The shape of the Convention Centre is round. To alleviate the plain roundness of the structure, the structure roof is designed like a folded origami. From the front, its eaves or wings are lifted at the sides creating broad overhangs over the raking wall. Since the walls are made of glass, generous natural daylights will illuminate the auditorium through the raked and shaded windows. The form has been described as distinctive and contemporary.
