Abstract

This paper aims to uncover the creative music potentials of disabled youths in Malaysia. Often perceived as petty street musicians, who perform to earn subsistence living, their talent remains hidden, without avenues to become fulltime professionals. This research attempts to bridge this gap by proposing an architectural intervention that functions entirely as a disabled-friendly building as well as enhances the affinity of music creation and learning. The spatial educative environment created focuses on musical rehabilitation for youths of the visually impaired, hearing-impaired and physically handicapped. The centre addresses their plight appreciatively, fusing their disability and talent in a unique symphony.
