Everything about Putrajaya Convention Centre totally explained
Putrajaya Convention Centre or
PCC is the main convention centre in
Putrajaya,
Malaysia. This building is located on the top of Taman Puncak Selatan in Precinct 5.
History
It was constructed between 2000 and 2003. In October 2004, the Putrajaya Convention Centre, was officially known as Putrajaya International Convention Centre or PICC to reflect the state of the art conference facilities at par with other international conference centre such as in London, Tokyo and Paris. The name change, which was perceived necessary as a marketing strategy and to internationalize Putrajaya, was first mooted by Dato Shafiq Abdullah, Deputy Under Secretary, Prime Minister's Department and endorsed by Dato Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, Prime Minister of Malaysia. Besides hosting the 10th Conference of
Organization of Islamic Countries, PICC also became one of the most favoured conference venue for high security risk events, hosted by the government or private sector. PICC has had many important guests including foreign head of states and heads of government, important corporate personalities such as the world's richest man, Bill Gates. Due to its strategic location on the top of the hill in Putrajaya and facing beautiful lakes, it has also become one of most popular places and "hot" sites for film shootings especially for commercial advertisements.
Architecture
The design idea of this unique and impressive
building is based on the shape of the eye of 'pending perak' (a silver Malay royal belt buckle). However, the structure of the roof was designed similar to a folded
origami to alleviate the plain roundness of the structure. From the frontview, the building's eaves or wings are lifted at the sides, creating broad overhangings over the raking wall. Most of the walls are made of
glass, so natural sunlight can easily illuminate the
auditorium through the raked and shaded windows.
Interior
The interior consists of a Meeting Hall and Main Hall.
