The focus was on the period of establishmentand the key events. These were then analyzed into a timeline chart tonarrow down on the issues according to years of events.Based on various studies and research, these problems can be overcome by4E Approaches; Exposure, Education, Establishment and Enhancement,which leads to the components of the program: institutional academy andproduction studio. The objectives of the study are to rectify the perception ofthe public towards acceptance of cartoon and animation, to educate bothcartoonists and public to treat cartoon and animation the right way, to revivelocal identity in promoting culture and elevate the cartoon industry forintellectual property purposes.METHODS45Volume 1, Issue 2, 2019Muhammad Ihsan Shaharil & Elias SallehISLAMIC PERSPECTIVE OF VIEWThere are multiple views on portraying images in Islamic scholars’discussions. Even though several scholars forbid cartoon to be practiced,somehow contemporary Islamic scholars like Dr Yusuf al Qaradawi andSyeikh Muhammad ibn Salih al Utsaimin allow it, as cartoon is seen to have aclose affinity with children and can be used to promote morality and tells goodstories.RELEVANCE AND SIGNIFICANCEBased on findings, written materials with cartoon is highly preferred comparedto the ones without any assisting images. Animation-based movies also havetopped American box office for some years now. Another study found out thatMalaysians spend most of their time with their gadgets, mostly for games andsocial media, where cartoon and animation are involved.FEASIBILITY STUDY ON TRANSMEDIA STORY TELLINGWith today’s advanced technology, cartoon and animation are categorizedunder transmedia storytelling where it can be displayed into many forms toreach the audience. The function of each media is different, so as the space toexperience them.Figure 5: Relevance and Significance of StudyFigure 4: Activity-space Relationship (Generated From Relevant Researches) DESIGN DEVELOPMENT AND CONCEPTUAL DIAGRAMSBUILDING COMPONENT: INSTITUTIONUnder Institution (academy), it consists of two approaches: Exposure andEducation. The theory of Exposure is an interactive story-telling gallerysince from the macro planning towards the inner space of any layouts. Stigmawas caused by unclear future of uncertainty and unstable cartoonist, thusparents discourage their children to involve in this industry.It is not only about designing a cartoon gallery, but also to expose public tothe real life of the cartoonist and how the process of cartoon and animation isdone through three main activities; exhibition, reference and performance.These activities are performed in public spaces.Figure 6: Component Study (Establishment and Enhancement)Furthermore, to enhance the sustainability of the industry, the program cannotstop there. It has to continue by producing the materials in the centre so that thequality can be controlled from A to Z.Digital technology has affected the cartoon industry through the emergence ofanimation which supports the changing habit of reading printed materials to usingdigital gadgets. However, there are points where cartoon and animation can beused together, integrated and functioned as one. Technology has made all worksfaster, easier and cheaper. Nevertheless, the manual skills, crafted from brain tohand is still valuable. In order to achieve this, activities are introduced such asproduction, publication and commercial activities.Figure 7: Conceptual Study (Establishment and Enhancement)46Volume 1, Issue 2, 2019DESIGN IDEALSResearchQuestionResearchObjectivesResearch MethodologiesExpectedOutcomeWhat are the spaces and components ofintegrated cartoon and animationstudio institution?To identify the spaces and components of integrated cartoon and animationstudio institutionLiterature ReviewPrecedent StudyCase StudySpaces andcomponents ofintegrated cartoonand animationstudio institutionWhat are theactivities related to the cartoon and animation for a studio institution?To evaluate thespaces andcomponents ofintegrated cartoonand animationstudio institutionLiterature ReviewExpert InterviewsActivities andPrograms that arerelated to spaces and componentsWhat are the criteria in determining thedesign for thecartoon andanimation for astudio institution?To determine/ design the spaces andcomponents ofintegrated cartoon and animation studioinstitutionLiterature ReviewDesign AnalysisSite StudyFocused Group DiscussionCriteria of spatiallayout and planning in designing thestudio institutionContextualResponsiveMETHODOLOGYThe methods used to achieve the aim and objectives of the research involvesseven key activities, which are literature studies, precedent study, case study,site study, design analysis, expert interviews and focused group discussion.TABLE 1.: Research DetailsSecondary data collected from readily available data both online and offline.The keywords used are specifics, obtained from published and reliable databefore analyzing and establishing timelines, framework, building programs,project brief and schedule of accommodation.LITERATURE REVIEWStudy on buildings related to cartoon and animation activities and spacesaround the world.

Thepurpose of spread awareness and in the same timeearn acceptance from the public can be done withproper programs, planning and good site context.CONCLUSIONThe opportunity to offer a comprehensive centre in cartoon and animation ismaterialized through the final design of the proposed project. The proposed designappears to be distinctive and away from the typicality of local institution design.The design expresses its own architectural language through the building formsand facades, circulation and gallery approach that emphasizes more interestinguser experience, the introduction of educational program, and complemented withmore public facilities and activities to accomplish the design objectives.REFERENCESAhmad Hilmy, Hasan (2017, September 24).
