1.1 INTRODUCTION

Kuala Lumpur is the capital city of Malaysia, boasting gleaming skyscrapers, colonial architecture, charming locals, and a myriad of natural attractions. Divided into numerous
districts, its main hub is called the City Centre. Like most cities in the developing world, Kuala Lumpur has grown at a phenomenal rate driven primarily by the need to create
wealth. As Malaysia moves toward a developed status, Kuala Lumpur has experienced rapid development which has left a city that is, in many respects, disjointed and lacking in
visual and physical coherence. Consequently there has been a decrease in the legibility of the city structure together with a certain loss of historical continuum and sense of
identity.

Under the river of life beautification programme, the Kuala Lumpur city hall (DBKL) is currently working on its Heritage Trail project within the vicinity. Compromising of 11
precincts, the heritage trail falls under Precinct 7 where the site is located. Paving the way for ‘ building to building connectivity, through Dayabumi Complex, the site has direct
linkage from Pasar seni lrt station and KTM station via pedestrian bridge.

1.2 Project objectives 1.3 Project goals

- Design a cultural centre that gives full emphasis on experience.
- Create a platform for collaboration to create an environment for
healthy interaction.
- Introducing new public programmes to the site
- Reaching out and acts as an extension for other activities around the
premise
- To change the perspective of different social groups against each
other.
- To execute the project in within the set scope, time, quality, and budget
standards.
- To conduct the project cohesively within the time frame and budget.
- Blurring the boundaries between the different social classes, age groups and
ethnicity within the community.
- To understand and manage any problems that arises during the project
- To analyze any potential risk that are bound to surface during the project.
- To achieve high performance in all aspects of the projects
- Spaces for buskers as it is an important cultural element of Kuala Lumpur
- To ensure the safety of all laborers and employees.

2.2 PROJECT BACKGROUND

The site is located in Kuala Lumpur next to the Heritage Trail and River of Life. It sits
between the National Textile Museum and the Dayabumi Tower.Under the river of life
beautification programme, the Kuala Lumpur city hall (DBKL) is currently working on its
Heritage Trail project within the vicinity. Compromising of 11 precincts, the heritage
trail falls under Precinct 7 where the site is located. Paving the way for ‘ building to
building connectivity, through Dayabumi Complex, the site has direct linkage from
Pasar seni lrt station and KTM station via pedestrian bridge.

TE Furthermore, the site is situated at the intersections of 3 districts of different landmark
typologies which are heritage, modern and cultural. These landmarks give people a
sense of direction which serves as a navigators, leading people to the site which in terms
serves as a perfect place for a cultural centre.

2.3 URBAN ANALYSIS 2.4 PESTLE ANALYSIS

POLITIC

1) Certain regulations by the authority must be fulfilled

2) The site has potential to act as a cultural factor for Kuala Lumpur City due to its strategic location where it can attract
people

ENVIRONMENT

1) A Lot of greenery areas are allocated to create a welcoming and calm environment in the building
2 Natural shading also allows pedestrians to venture around the building with less exposure to heat

SOCIAL

1) The locals of Kuala Lumpur prefer to linger and walk under shaded areas
2) The surrounding buildings showcases the glimpse of cultural elements that the locals want to preserve

TECHNOLOGICAL

1) With the help of modern technology, the internet will help the culture gain more exposure through its online presence
2) Technological equipments will aid the workshops in learning and teaching the different cultural aspects of different
races

LEGAL

1) The local authority of Kuala Lumpur requires certain regulations to be followed for the building facade
2) The building shall meet construction requirements stated in the UBBL.

ECONOMY

1) The programmes will generate income in order to sustain the building itself
2) Create opportunities for more work for the locals especially for the homeless around the site.

3.1 Micro site analysis

Landmarks surrounding Clear vision Lack of close encounters

The site is located at the intersections of 3 districts of
different landmark typologies which are heritage,
modern and cultural. These landmarks give people a
sense of direction which serves as a navigators, leading
people to the site
Less meandering paths allow users vision to remain The site is surrounded by buildings that have little to no
unobstructed giving people a sense of security interactions with the street, making it lose its appeal for
pedestrians walking by it
3.0 DESIGN INTENTIONS AND STRATEGIES

3.2 Preliminary sketches

1 ) CREATE SQUARES AND PARKS AS MULTI-USE DESTINATIONS

- A great urban park is a safety valve for the city, in which people living in dense
urban areas can find breathing room.
- A great public square can help citizens feel better connected to their cultural
institutions

2) VIEWS TO RIVER

- Create platforms on different levels of the buildings

- Continuation of outdoor space creates a series of

potential nice view for users
3.0 DESIGN INTENTIONS AND STRATEGIES

3.2 Preliminary sketches

3) SUNLIGHT

- Sun rises from the riverside towards the site

- Create an opening or an urban window to gain sufficient sunlight

4) PUBLIC SPACE

- Multiple seating zones which may have activities that connects the public
to the river.
3.0 DESIGN INTENTIONS AND STRATEGIES

3.2 Preliminary sketches

People's place that function as peoples temporary space and also

as a node for community gathering. At the center of the plaza
there is a platform that can apply a mechanism that can retract
up or down. This will transform the platform stage to become an
amphitheater according to the public needs according to the
visual arts space.

The intention is to create a positive impact on the

immediate neighbourhood, more engaging and inviting,
hence, encourage people to stay, connect and collaborate.

4.3 Material and resources

Lumber can be reclaimed from an interesting and diverse range of sources like barns, factories and
warehouses. Using reclaimed timber helps to preserve our forest by reducing the need for virgin timber.
Meanwhile, processing this woof has less impact on the environment than felling, transporting and
processing new lumber. Other than that, reclaimed timber can afford access to larger planks and wood
from mature trees is stronger and less prone to splitting, as the timber has been exposed to the elements
for a period of time.

In conclusion, the knowledge and skills i've attained during this semester has really taught me alot.
The initial process of design till the end process of completion to the finer details to specification has
really enlightened be a better architect in the future. I would like to thank my studio lecturer,
