The project is my final year design thesis (2007). The building acts as a catalyst for future development around the abandoned mining lake, and is a reminder of the glory days of tin mining in the country. The program takes visitors through the rich history of tin mining around the country and finally ending the journey in the existing abandoned tin dredge.
