Over a span of thirty years our practice has strived to push the envelope of building and design both within and beyond our shores, a process of constant reinvention, rethinking, realisation. In this last decade that cadence, and the very nature of how we do things, has undergone a transition. Subsistence on the mantra of boldness, gravitas and an international avant-garde was simply inadequate when questioned by the realities of over-development, unsustainable resource management and an increasingly volatile climate. These realities define the present frontier that can neither be hidden from now wilfully ignored. Therefore what is required an adaption, and here at HIJJAS this is nowhere more evident than in our present body of work. Projects such as the LEED-Platinum Shell Tower in Kuala Lumpur and the upcoming Malaysian Pavilion in Milan and design investigations, centred around functionality and sustainability. These works among other symbolise our goal to reconcile the pursuit of drama and high-function in building, with the responsibleness of good inhabitation, sound construction and a managed ecological footprint. This is our direction, not just for the now but for the foreseeable future.
