Sarawak Performing Art Centre

Sarawak Performing Arts Centre — A Star Rises from Our Roots

As a Sarawakian designer, this project holds deep meaning for me.
I had the honour to reimagine the Sarawak Performing Arts Centre (SPACe) not only as a venue for performance, but as a living canvas of budaya, seni, dan identiti negeri kita.

🌟 The Concept:

At the heart of this design is our iconic legacy — the majestic bumbung DUN lama, a symbol of strength and pride.
I retained this roof’s silhouette, but reinterpreted it into a 9-pointed star — each point representing the nine ethnic communities of Sarawak, bound together by art and unity.

This star then seamlessly transforms into a terendak, a traditional Sarawakian headgear — symbolising protection, heritage, and dignity.
This fusion of architecture and craft becomes more than just a logo — it is a cultural constellation.

🎭 The Spirit Behind the Design:

• Minimalist but monumental — clean lines that carry deep stories.

• Modern yet rooted — balancing international appeal with indigenous soul.

• Symbolic yet accessible — instantly recognisable, proudly Sarawakian.

Philosophy:

I believe branding bukan sekadar rupa — ia adalah satu naratif.
A visual identity must speak, feel, and honour — and that is what I aimed for with SPACe:
A place where legenda dan masa depan berdansa dalam cahaya pentas.
