Project
AP206.S1.1987.PR04
Description:
This project series documents a competition entry for new structures and upgrades to the Mysore Dasara Exhibition complex in Mysuru, India in 1987. It should be noted that the previous name of Mysuru was Mysore. The project consisted of upgrades to the existing exhibition grounds to create permanent infrastructure for the annual festivities. The client, Karnataka Exhibition Authority, asked architects to design a general layout for the site including pavilions, administrative offices, restaurants, kiosks, parking, amusements and theatres, among many others. A new entrance gate was also emphasized in the competition guidelines. The project is recorded through drawings of the site, gate and museum dating from around 1987 and correspondence dating from 1987.

Pahang Tenggara
AP027.S1.D51
Description:
The preparation of a comprehensive plan for the socio-economic development of Pahang Tenggara, a region of approximately 4,000 square miles. A master plan for the optimum utilization and development of its human and natural resources over a 20 year period was prepared. A complete inventory of the physical condition and natural resources of the area was required, as well as an assessment of the human and economic capabilities, both in its adjoining regions and the nation as a whole. The plan provides guidelines and a basic framework for future development by public, government-assisted and private investments until 1990. The plan also details the economic feasibility of primary resources and secondary industrial projects, and all related social and physical infrastructure requirements.
