1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 ABSTRACT
The intention of this project is to illustrate the design development of an individual's project in
the final semester. This is a thematic design project emphasizing the theme of 'sustaining
humanities' which defines an architecture for people, place and time. Our site is situated in the
centre of Kuala Lumpur city. As a transitional hot spot between the hectic lifestyle in Kuala Lumpur
city and surroundings. Understanding the site context and investigate the existing and potential
user groups helps designing site-specific architecture. Upon completing this assignment, various
design strategies and approaches are being exposed in order to achieve the design intention of
engaging the existing communities together through my Batik Art Cultural Hub. In this project, the
positive impacts of the building might bring to the users as a solution for a more sustainable living in
the subsidy of Kuala Lumpur city. The report conveys the objective of the design and documenting
the design process of my proposed building, Batik Art Cultural Hub from site studies, program
proposal, environmental strategies to the finalised proposal. All these are aspects that are needed
to be focused and research to justify the suitability of my design and programmes suit the site and
target users.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.2 PROJECT INTRODUCTION
The project requires us to further develop a proposed design building which reflects the
theme 'sustaining humanities' and provides programmes that address the needs of the existing user
groups as well as create communal spaces that promote interaction with the people and surrounding
contextual conditions.
The proximity of the site with the tourist hotspots such as Petronas Twin Tower, Kuala
Lumpur Convention Center, Aquaria KLCC aims to promote the further development of Malaysia
Batik as a distinct and unique type of culture and art. The project initiative is to propose a Cultural
Hub and calls for communal programmes that integrate different user groups as well as to introduce
art and endorsing the scheme to the public. Moreover, have the opportunity to provide a platform to
educate and nurture the public. It will not only become a formidable element in tourism but also calls
for programs which that benefit and creates positive impact between the immediate communities.
1.3 PROJECT AIMS AND OBJECTIVES
In line with the project intention, the proposed scheme aims to bring users closer to our nation textile
art by letting them involve in the process of making batik. Below are same aims and objectives for
which the programmes and spaces are designed around at later stages with hope to achieve:
● Extend a flea market activities to promote the art and culture of Batik.
● Create spaces that exaggerate the sensory sensations as well as bringing users closer to our
country history and culture through the pattern in the batik cloth.
● A food street that serves a variety of refined, traditional cuisine to introduce Malaysia
traditional food.
● Create communities spaces for existing communities to interact such as urban farm and mini
theatre.
● Extend the elements from site context and have a combination of elements of Malaysia
humanities, culture and art, provides a whole new perspective on the ordinary.

2.1 SITE INTRODUCTION
The site is considered one of the transition hot spots in Kuala Lumpur city. It located at the
junction of Jalan Ampang and Jalan Tun Razak. The site is at a business district which surrounded by
high res. At the north west of the site, there is an LRT station and bus station. In addition, there is a
link bridge which connecting the site with the Intermark at the opposing site. The proximity of the site
with the tourist hotspots such as Petronas Twin Tower, Kuala Lumpur Convention Center, Aquaria
KLCC aims to promote the further development of a distinct and unique type of culture and art.
The site currently is a public parking area owned by DBKL. It has a total area of approximately
3600 sqm with flat terrain.
SITE

2.3 SITE SIGNIFICANT ISSUES - DUALISM APPROACH
The site contain positive and negative approach where visual approach and connectivity of people playing a major part that contribute to the overall layout of the building.
Visual Approach
Virtually blocked from sight due to link bridge and LRT station hence this encourage visitors immersed
fully into the atmosphere of cultural hub
Separation of interaction
Connectivity disrupted by the two main roads where its breaks the connection of people from the
opposing site. However, the pedestrian bridge link to the site and the Intermark Mall to maintain
connection
Long Frontage with street
view
No active frontage with
opposing site
Dead space at south of the
site (Block views)
No shaded

2.4 URBAN STUDIES
Grid is chosen for the design due to the urban contextual response. Selected grid is being study such as Grid on Functions, Grid on Times and Grid on Circulation. Each specific grid is use to demonstrate
each specific functions based on human density, accessibility and visual approach.
Grid on Times
Morning and afternoon where people approach to the site more
frequently. This create a fast pace movement in between the
area.
Night, the site transform into a slow pace area where it became
less people to approach
Grid on Function
Symbiosis function forms between the site where food vendors,
LRT station and shopping mall are being mutually beneficial
towards each others
Grid on Circulation
Advantage at the center of attention. The site located at the
main intersection point between two roads. Locals and
passerby will give a visual approach upon reaching the area.
SITE SITE SITE

EDGES - Edges provide the boundaries that
separate one the region from another, the
seams that join two regions together, or the
barriers that close one the region from
another.
Natural edge, soft edges and hard edge are
found within the site. Jalan Ampang and
Jalan Tun Razak form a hard edge where
vehicle movement is fast, wider road and
walkability of human is prohibited. Hence,
the connection of the site towards opposite
area is weak, Link bridge, pedestrian
walkways and LRT station helps to
overcome the situation where they acts as a
connection to the people to reach to their
destination. From this scenario, the site act
as a transitional point rather than a stopping
point.

DISTRICT- They are typically
two-dimensional features, often held
together by some commonality. The
individual often enters into or passes through
these districts.
The site is located at a district centre
commercial area surrounded by office
building. The target user are mainly white
collar. The cultural hub aims to generate
more user groups towards the site such as
the locals and tourist. The strategic location
of the LRT station is a bonus that contributes
human density to the area.
● On weekdays morning the amount of
workers started increasing as office
hours begins and decrease at 6pm
when the office hour ends.
● As for the tourist the number
increases as the day pass by,
knowing that nothing much happen in
the early morning.
● In the residential perspective, the
amount is vice versa with the working
hours where only during night time is
increased.
● At night, there are lesser activities
going on at that area that can
enhances the culture and bond if the
surrounding community.

NODES- Nodes are the main focus point
which is the popular hangout for the
individual or a plaza area. In many cases,
the nodes are the centres of the district that
they situated in.
There a few informal nodes within the site
such as Food Truck, LRT station and Bus
station. The proposed cultural hub is aim to
be the cultural node within the area. While
the aim is to engage within the various user
groups and promotes our nation arts and
culture.

White collars are dominated within the site.
In the morning, the movement is seen
significant as they uses the LRT station to
reach their destination.

Macro Landmarks
Tourist spots and each significant landmarks is far within walking distance towards the site. Hence,
the concentration of tourist is far less concentrated in the site due to longer walking distance.
Micro Landmarks
These landmarks gives a familiarization of the site to the users. The nodes forms a stop and go
movement within each user groups and they seems to neglect the purpose and functions within the
site

3.0 PROJECT BACKGROUND & DESIGN INTENTIONS STRATEGIES
STRENGTH
● Easy to access
● OKU accessible
● Pedestrian friendly
● Low crime rate
● Evening shade
● High visibility due to crossroad
junction and link bridge
WEAKNESS
● Highly exposed to traffic jam
● Less noticeable from macro due to surrounded by
high rise building
● High island effect
- Warm during day time
- Low humidity
- Littering/ Pollution
- Noise and smoke from traffic
OPPORTUNITY
● Potential site for commercial
● Potential user groups inspiring new programme and
spaces
● Reintroduce Ampang Park Shopping Centre ’s genius
loci
THREAT
● Poor surface drainage
● Porthole land
● Not wheelchair user friendly
● Motorbike on pedestrian path
Noble space
The site offers two obvious landmarks which is Ilham Tower and Clock Tower. There are also minor
notable place such as food vendor. They have sensual effect (see, hear, smell, taste) but only attract
minor people.
Circulation
Jalan Ampang and Jalan Tun Razak are dominated mostly by vehicles as they are main roads.
Majority people come to the site for specific purpose(parking, food stall) and leave the site after that. It
forms a ‘stop-and -go’ situation where people just came for specific purpose. The site does not give a
sense of attachment to the user.

Parking Facility Cultural Space
Location: Seongbuk-gu, Seoul, South Korea
Area: 1800m2
Provide a large scale garden on the rooftop that
connects citizens with nature and culture.
Floor plan

Reorganize and revitalize the current Public Parking Facility
Maximizing the use of parking areas
During the night hours, the parking is in its full capacity but only seven vehicle parking spaces are utilized during the daytime. This is an underutilization of the space and
therefore we propose the parking level to be partially utilized during the day hours: Badminton or other sports, hikers resting area, street food plaza or any other major events
can be thought to be organized in this space for the citizens. It is also proposed to use the project as the starting point for a balloon ride along Bukhansan.

Accommodate all required bus parking spaces while avoiding the noise, smoke and fumes to reach the users of the facilities and garden
Hybrid Typology
The new building proposes all the cultural facilities and office program in one single floor, elevated over the required underground bus garage. By
creating a large opening on the 1F slab, natural light and cross ventilation are introduced to the underground parking, which makes the space more
pleasant for other purposes during the daytime with absence of the busses.

Streetmekka Viborg
The surrounding landscape is filled with various street sports and street cultural functions placed within a recreational string of greenery connecting to the main city-pathway of the area.
Location: Viborg, Denmark
Area: 4000.0m2
Cultural center for street art, sport and culture
Blurring boundaries between the interior space and exterior urban environment, through the
translucent envelope continuous the activity of street sports.
Removed the facades at both ends of the building to pull in more daylight through the two new glass
façades while improving the connection to the exterior space

Programs
Parkour, basket, skate, bouldering, dance and also customized workshop areas for DJing and music
production, an animation studio, maker lab and artist studios. Social spaces and designated hangout
zones are strategically interweaved into the functional program and distributed throughout the
building.

Cross section looking west

● Relocating the noisy program to the northern "backside" of the building,
● Wrapping it in the new building envelope to provides protection from wind and rain for the skate.
● The existing noise barrier to create a more open, inviting and appealing relation to the context.
● The existing noise barrier is activated with a wall skate feature and designated graffiti wall.
● "Backside" of the building is activated, and the northern passage, which connects to the main pedestrian connection in the area, the historic
"Ancient Road", is strengthened.

3.3 DESIGN INTENTION
Batik as a catalyst where it act as medium to engage and communicate with different user groups from the diverse culture of Malaysia through social and culture aspects. With complementing activities and
collaborative spaces act together to form a journey and learning experience throughout the process of batik.
3.4 PROGRAMME AND PROJECT BRIEF
PROJECT BRIEF
The junction of Jalan Ampang and Jalan Tun Razak is a transitional point use by various user group
to arrive in their own desire destination. The site presents itself as a transitional hotspot where various
nodes. Ampang Park LRT Station and link bridge use to connect people from opposite building and
Intermark Mall. The area is more vibrant during morning and evenings where everyone rushes to their
desired spot. The site seems to lack any form of engagement and soul where everyone focuses on
their own goals and specific tasks. It presents a sense of separation of interaction between people
and spaces. Upon this, a proposal for a Batik Cultural Hub is ensured to tackle this issue. Being at the
centre of a city, culture and tradition was seems loses its identity. People were being individualism
and neglect the culture and tradition that passes down during the olden days.
PROPOSED PROGRAMMES
A. Touch Games
Drag and put the pieces together and get the basic understanding of Batik making process.
B. Touch and Feel Area
Touch and Feel Area where visitors can experience cloths, waxes, and tools.
C. Demo Room
Introduce each process of making Batik to the public to let them more understand Batik.
D. Exhibition
Displays the Batik collections and artworks. Moreover, a small area is the Floating Foax area which shows a
visualization of the abstract concept of cloth tradition.
E. Experience Workshop
Provide chances to let visitors experience the Batik making process and transform them into a piece of artwork.
F. Others
Flea Market, Food Street, Social Events Room, Urban Farm, Artist's Studio

3.5 SITE RESPONSE
The proposal responds to the desire to facilitate pedestrian traffic by creating a visually porous and animated building edge. This approach increases the public space at grade and introduces a new design
typology to the area; one that take advantage of the unique geometries resulting from the street grids.
Pedestrian and vehicle interface response
All building edges have been designed and animated to respond to the unique conditions of each frontage. Preference has been given to the pedestrian with sidewalk widening, designated pedestrian
walking zones and landscape treatments. All loading facilities have been designed to be accommodated below grade, permitting the maximum building frontage to be activated along the lane frontage with
pedestrian-oriented uses.

3.5 SITE RESPONSE
Site edges response
The site exhibits a potential of diversity and varied scale on all three public frontage.

2
Main street edges
To respond to the desire for food street at the outer area and to accommodate the
flea market is to express the frontage in a series of irregular retail bays. The retail
edge is detailed to incorporate pedestrian seating to permit pedestrians to take
advantage of the northern exposure.
The site is located at the transition point. To respond to the desire to activate the
street edges, the commercial retail draw the corner from the main street to
mid-block where the exhibition hall entrance is located. To the east, the street
frontage is punctuated with oriented office building unit.
A wider road is built for visitor’s vehicle to access to the basement parking. The
lawn and trees plants along the road provide extra greenery features within the
area and give a sense of welcoming.

Extension of the event
Enhance the steps leading from the food
street to the flea market then to the
building, extending the exchange of
culture, art and humanities.
Corner approach
A gentle floor tile captures and draws
users from the entrance (drop off) till
the inside corner, social event area,
creating a strong architectural impact,
leading them to attend the activities
along the area.
Entrance Portal
The orientation of the exhibition
hall to the demo room on the
above floor, attracting visitors
and leading them up to explore
the activities that held upstairs.
Horizontal circulation
The orientation of the building
ensures maximum involvement of
the visitors in the process of
learning batik. The main circulation
is starting from the exhibition hall on
the ground floor to the art room on
second floor.
View and vistas
The spaces are designed with less
barrier to avoid blocking views and
reduce the chances of interaction
between each area. For example,
the view of both batik workshop on
the first floor can see each other.

For the roof, I have mimicked the transient behavior of waving batik during its drying process, which could
be frozen in time allowing a literal architectural expression of its transient behaviour.
Besides, adapting the steel louvres to process a modern facade in a staggered pattern, in the same way as
it blends in with the surrounding building surface, creating a bond. Moreover, with the dynamics of steel louvres
arrangement, it provides a light and transparent effect as well as structural walls. The design focuses on
developing an artistic pattern as well as on creating a feasible fabrication pattern.

4.1 SITE PLANNING STRATEGIES
Urban grid intersection concept
The grid intersection concept works at two levels; at the urban
scale it recalls the flatiron character of the community, and at
the site scale it results in a vertical rhythm that permits
increased horizontal views through the site.
Sedimentology
Sedimentology in architecture refers to the understanding of
physical and temporal layers within a building: layers between
floors, layers between facade elements and layers of interior and
exterior spaces. These layers will be distinctly emphasized
through.
Historic References
The building skin have a material expression that is
sympathetic to the history of the area and surrounding
buildings that points to a possible future.The building skin
proposed for the project is louver facade that is designed to
respond to the specific solar and wind orientation.

4.2 ORIENTATION: WIND AND SOLAR ANALYSIS
SOLAR ANALYSIS
The building was titled to generate a new axis on site to anchor its welcoming frontage which
will draw the attention from pedestrian and passerby. Meanwhile, the longer frontage is designated to
avoid direct sunlight from eastern and western. However, a facade that is exposed to the east side of
the sun is shaded either by natural shading or by roof covering the walkway along spaces.
Open facade with low emission double glazing curtain wall and steel louvre are being used to
filter and reduce the heat gain from the sunlight, which applies to all of the building directly to sunlight.
The main entry point of the building is situated in the north side which is not directed to the sunlight,
Greenery on the ground floor are being planted to create natural shading.
WIND ANALYSIS
The side receives prevailing wind throughout the year where existing wind pattern flow from
southeast to northwest but obstruction occurs all around.
Hence, the building is designed to be open walkway from lower floor to upper in order to
maximizing the wind flowing through the core spaces within the building. The common space is left
totally an open space in order to allow user cosy and eco-friendly, reducing the usage of mechanical
ventilation.
8pm
The site is not shaded due to lack of
covers at its east side, such as high rise
buildings and tall vegetations.
12pm
The site is at high temperature due to
the position of the sun at the afternoon
that is directly above the site.
5pm
The site is shaded when the sun is
blocked by the Citibank tower and
Menara Binjai
SHADOW CASTING

4.3 ENVIRONMENTAL STRATEGIES AND SUSTAINABILITY CONCEPTS
Local materials are sourced to construct the building. Tropical design is integrated into the building design to ensure user comfort and energy efficiency. There are many ways to enter the cultural hub
as it does not only engage itself but also engage with the surrounding site. Besides, contemplative spaces are situated accordingly to capture valuable views of the site and maximize the positive views of the
skyline of the Kuala Lumpur city.
The open aired flea market area on the ground floor is sufficiently shaded by the first-floor. On the first floor, timber louvres flank on the exterior walls on both experience workshop area and greenery
from the landscaping below. Large overhangs are adopted as sun shading devices for Batik workshop users.
However, the position of the urban farming area allowers maximum sunlight exposure for the plants within. Rainwater harvesting system is adopted on the roof of the urban farming area, where the
water is channelled down a main central column to an underground filtration tank, then pumped up to water the organic produce.
Staircase with loop circulation acts as the main intention of the building which encircles people continuously at the same time to enjoy the variety of programs together, let them involve in the journey of
learning.
4.4 MATERIAL AND RESOURCES
Construction methods used to construct the proposed Batik Art Cultural Hub is common and widely used in local context. The building is using RC pad footing as its foundation system. The main
structural framework of the two blocks consists of RC columns and beams with concrete walls and louvres.
Timber planks are used as ceiling material sourced locally. Steel roof trusses are used to construct the roofs and suspensions to support the large overhang. Tempered glass also is used as a
lightweight roof material for the roof above the mini theatre. Moreover, hollow-core floor slabs are used to reduce the weight of the structure. A steel louver system is applied to the facade of the building. All
of the material chosen for the construction of the building are environment-friendly and have the consideration of the resource-saving.
RC pad footing Concrete wall Steel roof trussSteel louvres Tempered glass roof Hollow-core floor slabs

4.5 ACOUSTIC CONSIDERATION
Acoustic consideration is apparent throughout the design of the building. Noise levels of food street and flea market area are mitigated through the design of open concept which intentionally extrovert
to the public. They are located at the outermost area which are closer to the junction and attracts the attention of passer-by.
The placement of semi-private and private spaces on the southern part of the building also serves as acoustical purposes. The spaces are separated into 4 different districts of the common workshop,
exhibition, working area and market space. The semi-private space like Artist's Studio remains the interactive area with the visitors but also remain the private space for the artists to perform their artworks.
Most of the private spaces are places at the most upper floor such as administrative office, day care facilities which is quieter and far away from the communal spaces. There are potential common spaces
fuse the districts such as lounge, cafeteria and others.
The design intention is to promote active architecture which encourages people to circulate up the building. The circulation let people involved in an exclusive and fun learning journey of knowing our
nation culture and art.
