Dear All,
 
Pursuant to our meeting this evening, I did a little investigation and found out the following.
 
a) The paper given out by JWN via Dep. Commissioner Puan Norlizaiha was entitled,
"Pertandingan Merekabentuk Bangunan Pusat Interpretasi di Tapak Warisan Dunia
Lembah Lenggong"...sic., with some corrections...and could be more
b) Mariana's compilation paper this morning calls it "Lenggong Valley Interpretation Centre
or Interpretive Centre Design Competition", either way is or both are correct.
"An interpretation centre, or interpretive centre, is an institution for dissemination of
knowledge of
natural or cultural heritage. Interpretation centres are a kind of new-style
museum, often associated with
visitor centres or ecomuseums, and located in connection to
cultural,
historic or natural sites.[1] 
Interpretation centres use different means of communication to enhance the understanding
of heritage. To aid and stimulate the discovery process and the visitor's intellectual and
emotional connection to heritage, the main presentation strategy tends to be user-friendly
and interactive, and often use
scenographic exhibitions and multimedia programs. Many
interpretation centres have temporary exhibitions related to a specific aspect of the site.
An interpretation centre can be a viable solution for effective communication of heritage
information in municipalities and rural areas where resources may not exist to establish a
traditional, full-scale
museum, and where heritage can be an important factor for tourism
development.
Unlike traditional museums, interpretation centres do not usually aim to collect, conserve
and study objects; they are specialized institutions for communicating the significance and
meaning of heritage. They work to educate and raise awareness. Non-core jobs as

conservation
and research are services usually done by specialized, external entities."
 
Hence by definition of Interpretive Centre by the Free Online Dictionary,
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/interpretive+centre 
interpretive centre
n
(at a place of interest, such as a country park, historical site, etc.) a building or group of
buildings that provides interpretation of the place of interest through a variety of media, such
as video displays and exhibitions of material, and, often, includes facilities such as
refreshment rooms and gift shops Also called visitor centre
 
Apart from the Banteay Srei's images that Norhayati has, 
Check also this Architect Peter Rich's Mapungubwe Interpretation Centre,
http://www.peterricharchitects.co.za/mapungubwe_inter_center.php 
that won the World Building of the Year 2009 Award
 
 
More images on this Interpretation or Interpretive Centre plus others at google images,
 
UNESCO World Heritage Council's listing on Archeological Heritage of the Lenggong Valley
http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/1396
Acclaimed it as "Outstanding Universal Value".
 
OUV or "Kepentingan Nilai Sejagat" must be reflected into the design.
 
Hence the title for this JWN-PAM Lenggong Valley Architectural Design Competition shall be,
 
"Pertandingan Merekabentuk Pusat Interpretasi Warisan Dunia Arkeoloji Lembah Lenggong"
or "Lenggong Valley Archeological World Heritage Interpretation Centre Design Competition"
 
Now...now, isn't that a mouthful...and Najib Ariffin will comes forth to help...hehe.
