The New PAM Centre Architectural Design Competition
PAM, through PAM Education Fund (PEF), decided in October 2010 to purchase a two and four storeys building on Jalan Tanduk, Bangsar, with the intention of developing it as an architect-driven centre for contemporary arts in the same spirit as the National Art Gallery, and Museum of Modern Arts (MOMA), in their formation days. The transaction for the property was concluded in March 2011. With the original intention of completing the development and opening the Centre during the Kuala Lumpur Architecture Festival, PAM Council has decided to submit the proposal for the Development Order and Building Plan Approval based on the collaborative design with input from voluntary members and a team of consultants on pro bono basis. The DO Approval Ref. (23) dlm.DBKL.JPRB.3386/2011 was issued on 3 Oct 2011 and Building Plan Approval Ref. (33) dlm.BP S1 OSC 2011 0776 was issued on 28 October 2011. The original submission was made by Ar Boon Che Wee in his capacity as PAM President and on behalf of PAM. This will now be assumed by Ar Dr Tan Loke Mun of DrTANLM Architect as Consultant Architect and nominated by PAM Council in line with the impending amendment to the Architects Act 1967 in this regard. Work done by the first architect will be paid and letters of release to be issued to enable the winning architect to be appointed to continue with the project once the results are announced.

International Design Competition of Signature Tower for Kuala Lumpur Financial District, Malaysia
International Design Competition of Signature Tower for Kuala Lumpur Financial District Malaysia (KLIDF) has been launched recently. This Competition is organized by Pertubuhan Akitek Malaysia (PAM) in collaboration with International Union of Architects (UIA) and promoted by 1MDB Real Estate Sdn Bhd (1MDB RE).
The Signature Tower will anchor Kuala Lumpur International Financial District (KLIFD) in three significant ways.
- Firstly, it will serve as the primary physical marker of the KLIFD on the city scale, and will become an important addition to the Kuala Lumpur skyline, both through its height (approximately 380 meters) and its high level of architectural design.
- Secondly, as a result of the tower’s siting, it will be framed dramatically by flanking buildings, thus creating a powerful and elegant composition for drivers and passengers of vehicles arriving from the Maju Express (MEX) and Middle Ring Road 2 (MRR2).
- Thirdly, the Signature Tower will, also as a result of the carefully considered siting, terminate the major pedestrian access to KLIFD from the Bukit Bintang area. It will thus provide a dramatic backstop for KLIFD at both the pedestrian and city scale.
- In addition to fulfilling its role as the site’s primary landmark, the Tower will provide a home for the KLIFD’s anchor tenant. Commanding views of the KLIFD Public Green as well as all of Kuala Lumpur will be a signature of the building.
