Project Name: SENJA TENANG

"Senja Tenang," meaning calm dusk, embodies a tranquil yet inspiring atmosphere for a new generation of thinkers, creators, and collaborators. This campus is designed not just as a place of learning, but as a sanctuary where creativity flourishes and ideas take root through calm reflection and dynamic exchange.

The concept draws from the serenity of dusk a time where the sky softens, thoughts deepen, and the mind finds peace after a day of activity. This rhythm is mirrored in the spatial arrangement of the campus: vibrant, active zones blend seamlessly into quiet, contemplative areas, forming a holistic ecosystem that supports both individual growth and collective innovation.

Inspired by the natural transition of light and the Malay cultural appreciation for balance and harmony, "Senja Tenang" integrates open courtyards, shaded walkways, and flexible indoor-outdoor learning spaces. These elements encourage spontaneous interaction, slow-paced thinking, and appreciation of the natural surroundings.

Materials such as timber, perforated metal, and textured concrete express a blend of modernity and warmth, while passive design strategies maximize ventilation, daylight, and user comfort creating a sustainable and health-conscious environment. The use of a split-unit ductless AC system ensures targeted cooling in collaborative spaces without compromising energy efficiency.

Functionally, the campus supports interdisciplinary collaboration, providing makerspaces, co-working zones, discussion pods, and multi-use halls. Students are at the heart of the design, as both the clients and end-users, influencing spaces that are adaptable, inclusive, and conducive to their needs.

"Senja Tenang" ultimately seeks to redefine the campus not just as a place of study, but as a landscape of emotions, experiences, and empowerment where every student feels grounded, yet free to explore.
