Feature: A school of their own

Functional design: The Genius Kurnia centre is purpose-built for children with autism.

THERE sits an unusual looking building along Jalan Sentul Perdana in Kuala Lumpur.

At a glance, it looks like a giant Swiss cheese from the Tom and Jerry cartoon show – half of its main front exterior is a large yellow wall inlaid with round holes. The Swiss cheese motif is replicated in the walls surrounding the building in cheerful tones.
