The grand open Amphitheatre at the Kedah Digital Library is filled with juxtaposed textures created from the combination of acoustic ceiling panels, wooden vinyl floor tiles and polished solid surface desk pedestals against matte-looking stone floor tiles. Photos: BETA

Remember the intangible magic of visual connectivity in my previous article? It’s intangible because we feel the significance, yet we can’t hold, touch nor grasp it with our hands.

In the world of design and architecture, I teach my students to appreciate the power of using intangible elements in their design toolbox, together with physical elements like doors, windows, furniture, light fittings and loose household decor.
