ConDome's New Home @ LCK's Suriana Gardens, Balik Pulau

A new home for ConDome?  On Wednesday 12th of March 2008, Zafuan (third year architecture), and I went the "other side" of Penang island, to look for the place where ConDome would be reassembled. It took us a while before getting to the site. After having passed some show-homes indicating Balik Pulau's development to come, we finally went through a winding path to finally arrive at Suriana Gardens. The owner, Datuk Seri Lim Chong Keat, showed us ConDome's new home, opposite a Temiar hut which stood near a durian tree.

With the help of  Hamid the hut builder, we struck the footprint of ConDome to eccompass the durian tree. It shall be the Durian Tree in a Dome or Doming a Durian, whatever. At least ConDome has a place where it is and shall continue to be appreciated, Thanks Datuk.

 

A Couple of Years Later... The Grown Dome

Soon after moving the struts to Suriana, I took a medical break, not realizing that's it was two years before I got there again.
