The first time I visited Putrajaya, Malaysia I was blown away by the futuristic and creative architecture. Putrajaya was created a few years ago as the new federal administrative centre of Malaysia, about 30km south of Kuala Lumpur and close to Cyberjaya, the IT center of Malaysia. Putrajaya is about to add a new astonishing residential project: The Fleet of Putrajaya in the Putrajaya Waterfront Development area. The sustainable design is unique with marine-inspired structures that resemble ships and draw from the country’s traditional Islamic designs. The project is arranged in a permeable, radiating block of bioclimatic architecture. The project is from Italian Studio Nicoletti Associati and Malaysian architects Hijjas Kasturi Associates, who provided the masterplan of Putrajaya.  The architect’s goal was to design buildings that tell “of its place of origin which is culturally modern, Islamic and tropical in nature.” Added to this is Nicoletti’s extensive experience in design and construction for extreme climates. For Precinct 4, the Italian firm brought sustainable strategies like terraces, sunshades, natural ventilation and integrated green space into the design. The buildings will source from alternative energy and are expected to produce 50% less CO2 emissions than similar residential projects.

rocktanger, i don't agree that it should be built in other places as well. the idea behind such landmark is that they are unique to the country and its culture. it's a unique building, not a car model |
