[TASKA The world from the point of view of a child.]
Children tend to simply living at the moment. With their understanding of the surrounding environment, it was once said that nature is children’s best friend. As a child care centre of the Klang Valley Mass Railway Transit, each space in the Taska should reflect an interactive and energetic learning experience for pre-school children. Therefore, furniture in organic shapes or bright hues inspired by nature are used, preserving different forms of expression of Malaysian culture and nature scenes.
A spectrum of green tones in different materials - fabric, plastic laminates, paint, and wood veneers are proposed to generate the core palette and the underpinning commonalities in Taska. Occasional more delightful colours are proposed in the communal spaces like lobby and dining hall. Furniture in organic shapes and bright hues inspired by nature would deliver the richness and aesthetics of Malaysian cultural and natural background.
