An in-depth personal account of Yasmin Naziha Hazizulden's Kampung Kerinchi Secondary School design thesis journey, starting with a question when she went to visit the site of a majority of the population of a low income group: "Why are the kid's not in school?" This led Yasmin to question the values of education, outlining social problems found after interviewing the teachers and parents in context, with findings on the problems that beset the community of truancy and students dropping out of school. The future felt bleak and apathy is rife, but what the architect do in this regard? Her proposal of  breaking down the walls of perception that the school is a "fortress and alienating" the community by instead bringing the community into the school.
