DESIGN THESIS ABSTRACT This thesis has focused on the examination of the post-industrial condition of Stoke-onTrent in North Staffordshire, once the ceramic capital of the UK. The dual aim is to reinstate lost connections across the city, and to explore – within the post-industrial context – the use of underdeveloped tracts of land captured between infrastructures. The city once connected Industrial Revolution Britain to the rest of the world by the evolution of infrastructures, linking the national network of canals and railways to external and international shipping routes. When the ceramic giants, such as Spode Works and Royal Doulton, ceased production in Stoke-on-Trent and moved their operations to China due to cheaper labour and operation cost, the economy and ceramic industry of Stoke-on-Trent declined. The existing infrastructure supporting the industry fragmented, some taking on new roles and others becoming disused, especially following the construction of the new road infrastructure (A500). One of these neglected strands is the Trent Canal that runs from Longton, south of Stoke-on-Trent, and extends to Tunstall, further north. The three main infrastructures, the A500, the Trent Canal and the railway, run parallel to each other from south to north and capture between them significant tracts of undeveloped land. These three infrastructural systems, understandably located at the base of the valley, are currently involved in an entropic process of deterioration, which also involves the captured landscape. In addition, an east-west disjunction between parts of the city has occurred due to the A500 motorway cutting through it, severing once existing connections across the valley with areas around the old Spode Work factory. This thesis attempts to address the issues of disjunction and the reuse of post-industrial landscape by understanding the leading role the Staffordshire University (located to the east of the railway tracks) could play in the regeneration of the city. The contemporary relevance of the ceramic industry in training, learning and research provides the
opportunity of designing a ceramics-focused teaching and research facility within the disused landscape. The potential impact of HS2 has been considered in this context. To allow westward extension of the University Precinct, the railway tracks have been moved underground, creating above-ground retail opportunities within the existing station building. The axial extensions thus generated through the station and diagonally from the University Precinct merge on the widened canal edge – a venue for social and cultural activities partnered with the University. The axis through the station is subsequently extended in the form of an inhabited bridge across the motorway to achieve connections with Spode Works precinct. The bridge will provide a range of health and wellbeing facilities.
EXPLOTARIUM FOR CERAMIC AND AGRICULTURE It is important to introduce a new industry other than potteries by exploring the potentials of ceramic that can celebrate ceramics as a base product and its heritage value in order to regenerate the economy of the area. Ceramic Exploratorium is a development which comprised of a Ceramic Research and Development facilities, Ceramic Innovation Laboratories and also commercial area for products promotions that explore the potentials of ceramic based products, and present itself as an exhibit on best practices. The sharing of knowledge gesture is presented in the form of programmes, ideas and innovations that contributes towards ceramic products development. This proposed Ceramic Exploratorium would help satisfy the revitalisation of Stoke-OnTrent’s ceramic based industry and offer job opportunities to the local communities while promoting ceramic and its development potentials to the public. It would be one of the attractions of the public, education institutions, entrepreneur and investors in the city of Stoke.
CLIENT WHAT? Ceramic and Agriculture Exploratorium WHY? Lots of issues on the current state of the ceramic industry and the future of the local economy that affected the demographic and economy of Stoke-on-Trent and proposing a new strategy to revitalise the ceramic industry regenerate the economy by looking at the new injected industry that celebrate the other heritage industry which is agriculture. WHERE? Along A500 Motorway in between the canal, train railway and motorway infrastructures in order to connect and attract movement from east to the west side of Stoke-On-Trent and vice versa. HOW? Programs involving the target users, developing ceramic and agriculture industry into a more versatile industry and materials responding to the current and future needs and fulfilling the economy demand of related products to regenerate the local economy.

14
In a historical context, Stoke-on-Trent was formed by mineral extraction and associated industrial growth. Geologically, the growth of the local potteries industry was fuelled by the subsoil character of the quick-burning coals, clays, and mudstone outcrop. Coal and ironstone started to being dug around the area since 13th century, where later in the 15th century, the Great Row coal is being mined and used for firing pottery. Stoke-on-Trent was once also a large export of pottery products that dated back to at least 17th century proving to have a sophisticated infrastructures connection between the interior networks of Britain and the trading routes of the world. The pottery industry became established in Stoke-onTrent mainly due to the abundance of potter’s clay and coal substitute to fire the ovens lying just below the ground of the area. The city of Stoke were keen for the incoming economic wealth that journeyed from the clay mining area to the pottery production factories before being export out to the world supported by the infrastructures such as the Trent Canal and railway. Stoke-On-Trent has the historical significance developed through its pottery industry and poses a topographic challenge made complicated through the road infrastructure. Today the potential role of ceramic has extended beyond its use in pottery production into the expanding world of electronic technology (semi-conductor devices and nanotechnology).

1890 - The region was the epicentre of the world’s ceramic production. Turnpiking of roads in the late 19th centuries brought a significant number of improvements, as well as some new roads.
1920 - The City of Stoke-On-Trent is formed from an amalgam of multi-centered structured towns and villages that have expanded and merged, contrasting with the more typical structure of cities.
1940 - The ma shire witnesse ounding the f area.
assive of the industrial exploitation in Staord- 1960 - The construction of the major road network has bees growing residential population pattern surr- come a serious barrier which creates zoning and geographic factories area based on the topography of the separation of dierent uses. Thus, less variety & uses mix on newer development.
17
1990 - Larger grain scale of use distribution and large single use zones which require greater mobility, thus greater dependence on car, separation distances between uses increased & less accessible.
CURRENT - The multi-centred structure is one of the most fundamentally distinctive characteristic. Although new development has done much to ameliorate the negative legacy of the Industrial Revolution and to increase the welfare of local people, it has also created a new set of problems as car usage has been assumed in the design and location of new development.

PROJECT : CHEONGGYECHEON STREAM RESTORATION The Cheonggyecheon project is remarkable for its dramatic transformation from a seedy industrial eyesore to a nature-filled public space. It is an inspiring urban renewal success that underwent a dramatic transformation from a traffic-choked elevated freeway and concrete paved waterway into an urban park. In the first three months following its restoration, a quarter of all Koreans—about 10 million people—visited the river. The restoration process has also provided huge boosts to local biodiversity and catalysed economic development.

HISTORY
Situation In the 1940s, the Cheonggyecheon had deteriorated into an open sewer and was thus paved over with concrete for sanitation reasons. During the 1950s and 60s, the urbanization of the city and increasing industrial development polluted the stream and it As covered with concrete roads. Soon, an elevated highway was built to meet the increasing high transportation demand for the heavily industrialized city center. In the 1980s, the impacts of the highway and effect to the economic decline of the central areas became clearly recognized. People began to be concerned about air pollution from the highway, health risks from unsanitary conditions and a decreasing stability of the aging infrastructure. Strategy - To improve north-south linkages, 22 bridges, 12 pedestrian bridges and 10 for automobiles and pedestrians to connect the two sides of the Cheonggyecheon. - To reduce traffic congestion, car use was discouraged in the city center, rapid bus lines were added, and improving loading and unloading systems. Actions - Created a wide variety of pedestrian amenities including sidewalks and nighttime lighting. - Revitalized the edges of the green corridor attracting new pedestrian friendly uses, especially in buildings adjacent to the river. - Increased the amount of green space and provide east-west walk paths in the central city. - Reduction of the road width and the elimination of the highway, improve public transit systems.

PROJECT : SINGAPORE RAIL CORRIDOR The revitalisation of the Rail Corridor presents a excellent opportunity to reconnect with Singapore’s rich biodiversity in a natural-urban setting. The Rail Corridor is envisioned to be a vibrant avenue for lifestyle and corporate events, arts, sports, and community activities. The winning design conceptualised the Rail Corridor as a nature lifeline and community space running through the heart of Singapore, for commuting, leisure and recreation.
26km
Situation The Singapore Rail Corridor is a 26km long right-of-way that used to route trains from the Malaysian Peninsula to Singapore for almost a century. A continuous and seamless corridor, it runs through the whole island of Singapore along the north-south axis, from Woodlands in the north to Tanjong Pagar in the south. In 2011, the Keretapi Tanah Melayu(KTM) railway company, owned at the time by the Malaysian government, ceased operations and the railways lands reverted back to the Government of Singapore, which is now evaluating its conversion to a green space for recreation and nonvehicular commuting.
Woodlands Railway Station
Strategy - Create a seamless green horizon and connected corridor while making it visible, accesible and related to both side. - Add more value to the high quality of life by providing a relaxed yet inspiring environment as the extension of modern life. - As development catalyst by instigate surrounding neighbourhoods and communities to ensure continuous growth of the nation. - Establishing continuity between a number of the island state’s wild-life sanctuaries. Actions - People-centric spine that stitches the nation with a collection of various lives. - Improved accessibility to the rail corridor by introducing new connections – pedestrian and bike paths – from the surrounding street network. - Form connections between currently disconnected green wild-life areas, serving as a wildlife species corridor in a addition to a human activities. - Connect surrounding employment hubs with a green, non-motorized transportation spine for pedestrians, bikes, and electric-assist bikes.

Stoke-On-Trent has the historical significance developed through its pottery industry and poses a topographic challenge made complicated through the road infrastructure Stoke-Link site which is part of the bigger Stoke-Upon-Trent town masterplan is the most strategic node in triggering this regeneration process. Sitting next to the university quarter and having the potential to respond to the urban framework of connecting the university quarter to the Spode Work site across the infrastructures, it is the most strategic location in employing the infrastructural systems as a catalyst in developing the educational facilities which will benefit the city in both the short and longterm periods.
Developing this new ceramic-based industry would have to rely on new areas of education and research. In terms of historical and cultural industry, the infrastructure can also be a catalyst for the field of tourism as the city have a very important infrastructures supporting the pottery industry. Regeneration would not only help with the economic performance but the appreciation of history and culture of a place. This would allow an overflow effect which also contribute to the growth of the local economy.
DESIGN OBJECTIVES
Responding towards proposed framework in creating a ‘University Gateway’ for HS2 development and linking the University Quarter with Spodework new development
DESIGN OBJECTIVES
Blurring boundaries by using spaces in between infrastructure, linking the east and west of Stoke-On-Trent
DESIGN CONCEPT The building design concept is inspired by the post-industrial setting of Stoke-On-Trent. The design will also explore on the multiple usage of bottle kiln structure, which plays an important role in showcasing Stoke-On-Trent pottery heritage. Today the potential role of ceramic has extended beyond its use in pottery production into the expanding word of electronic technology (semi-conductor devices and nanotechnology). DESIGN STRATEGY

INTRODUCTION

The basic idea of the project is to give a new interpretation to architecture, dynamic, long-lasting, developed and integrated with nature by reducing the environmental impact and becoming a living and organic body. An architecture with the ability to act directly on environmental issues, which are usually solved with help of biology and biotechnology. The project wants no longer to be an end in itself and accommodate only the needs of humans, but those of nature and space in which it is inserted. It is therefore crucial to find a location that requires some type of intervention to act directly on the environmental existing issues in recovering the biodiversity back to its natural state. For this project, we chose the problem of a significant river pollution namely Mersey River, in Liverpool, Merseyside North West region of the United Kingdom. Since industrial revolution started in 1880, Mersey River have been polluted by the industrial waste coming from the industrial area situated mostly along the bank of the Mersey River. Negative environmental effects include the depletion of oxygen in the water, which may cause death to the aquatic animals. This problem affects many areas along the Mersey River as the locals cannot really depend on the river as the main source of seafood as it should have.

PROJECT BRIEF The project deals with the problem of the Mersey River pollution, an architectural structure acting as a big filter for the river and restoring a balanced ecosystem. It consists in a BIO-ARCHITECTURE FARM, or BAF, composed of several spaces having microalgae as a common point. The structure of the algae pervades every element and characterizes the architecture, from micro to macro, enhancing shapes, colors and movement. A new model farm using algae as a common point center with open and closed spaces to operate around the year, with private and public spaces. Located on the southern part of Hale - at the junction of the river where the small river converges into Mersey River. Furthermore, with algae as a common point, the algae biomass will be recycled as bio-fertilizers which will be benefit by the local farms and at the same time reduced their carbon footprint and also join the movement of the new Mersey basin campaign to clean up the river.

ALGAE PROCESS RESEARCH MICROALGAE
Microalgae are microscopic algae, topically found in freshwater and marine system. Their size can range from a few micrometres to a few hundreds of micrometers. Microalgae, capable of performing photosynthesis, are important for life on earth; they produce approximately half of the atmospheric oxygen and at the same time, use greenhouse gas carbon dioxide to grow photoautothropically. Microalgae need: LIGHT, CO2, NUTRIENTS and WATER They can be cultivated anywhere and also absorb nutrients from water to clean them. The cultivation of microalgae takes place in open system (basin, open pond) and closed system (Photobioreactor). The last solution is more suitable because it’s easier to control, there is no water loss and vertical space can be used for cultivations, not competing with the production of goods which are destined for human consumption.

OYSTER PROCESS RESEARCH INTRODUCTION
OYSTER CULTURE Oyster culture is an aquaculture (for mariculture) practice in which oyster are raised for human consumption. Aquaculture provides 40% of the aquatic life consumed by humans worldwide. The industry has grown by around 9% a year since the 1970s and human demand for aquaculture products has doubled in the last 30 years. Aquaculture remains the fastest growing food supply sector in the world.
OYSTER AS SUSTAINABLE FOODSOURCE
72
WHAT are the types of oysters utilized by the British oyster fisheries? - Pacific oysters - Native oyster - Portuguese oyster
HOW oyster works? - Filter planktons, contaminations & detritus - Oyster reef attenuate waves - A healthy reef supports life for 24,00 other organisms per square meter - Oyster remove excess nitrogen, cycle nutrients & improve water quality
WHO can benefit from the oyster garden programme? - Individuals - School students - Nonprofits body - Businesses
WHY oyster gardening? - Help enhance the health of the Estuary - Provides an important educational experience to students and adults - Encouraging biodiversity habitat grow
WHERE the oysters can grow? - Best located in the estuarine waters - Methods: beach, bag, suspended, dike - Water quality: water salinity, water depth, adequate oxygen, adequate plankton
The sustainable cycle of oyster recycling process starts by eating oyster helps support local oyster farms. Then, the leftover shell will be collected & recycled. Later, the preparation of oyster hatchery and washing process take place. The oysters larvae grown on the recycled shells into new oysters, where the baby oyster on the recycled shell will be planted on oyster reefs. Thus, the rebuilding of oyster reef provide habitat, filter water & excess nutrients, creating more oyster to complete the cycle.
OYSTER AS SUSTAINABLE FOODSOURCE
OYSTER GROWTH AND YIELD RESEARCH
1) EAT - eating oyster helps support local oyster farms. 2) COLLECT - leftover shell is collected & recycled. 3) PREP - oyster hatchery and washing process take place. 4) GROW - oysters larvae grown on the recycled shells into new oysters.

50 gallons clean water Each module have: 8m x 8m grid = 64 m² 1 m² density = 150 - 250 oyster 64 m² x 250 oyster = 16,000 oyster/grid
5)PLANT - baby oyster on the recycled shell planted on oyster reefs. 6)REBUILD - oyster reef provide habitat, filter water & excess nutrients.
Each module produces: 16,000 oysters x 8 grid box = 128,000 oyster/module
Hatchery
Crop rotation Oysters require 3-6 months to mature. So, farmers must practice harvesting 2-3 beds daily. 73

100
The urban form of the University today is very poorly defined; the area is built to a low density with poor enclosure of space and a coarse urban grain. This compares very poorly with the historic plans of the area.
This plan represents the huge reduction in the permeability of the area to traffic. However pedestrian’s permeability has decreased far less because many of the routes through the campus remain open to pedestrians. We start therefore by looking at the quality of the pedestrian environment.
PUBLIC REAL SPACES AND QUAD FORMATION
CARPARK SURFACES
101
The University has a large amount of poorly defined public spaces, much of it surface parking. The University has been transformed from a connected part of the city to a gated enclave dominated by surface parking.
Parking is an important issue with the university and currently is one of the most important land uses as illustrated by the plan to the right. The presence of parked cars dominates the appearance of the university and yet the availability of parking and the parking charges remain a continuous issue with the staff.
DEMOGRAPHIC VS LAND USES
Residential Area Residential Area
The University is surrounded by many commercial area, Future Science Park, and residential area which occupied mostly by students and middle class working people. Most of them are employed and having them participating in university event will help the student develop in terms of practicality of research and the university also do outreach program where they go not just locally but also internationally in academic and social outreach programme. The campus includes a wide range of historic and contemporary buildings, the best of which found in two clusters around the Abercromby Square and the Victoria building.

Hear the elephant sound Smell the elephant
HOW? -To give the elephant an ideal habitat even far from their real home, the building was designed with a big outdoor area for them. The area will be treated to have an African atmosphere on the ground. -By using JOURNEY as a main theme, public visitor will be connected to elephant closely through their own human sense. They can SEE, HEAR, SMELL, and TOUCH the elephant. -The combination of these senses with the programme provided in the building is the main key towards this JOURNEY

Aerial view perspective For final year projects, ENTERTAINMENT AND SPORTS PROGRAMMING NETWORK, commonly known as ESPN, was choosen as a client. The project was to proposed a sport academy at suburban area. ESPN is an American global cable network focusing on sports-related programming including live and pre-taped event telecast, sports talk shows, and other original programming. By elaborating the concept, BROADCASTING THE PHENOMENON, the design approach practised in this proposal were different with the other existing building. As the multipurpose hall was the main attraction here, the facade was designed by using glass, to create high visibility toward whats happening inside the main hall. To keep a high and good passive design, natural ventilation was implemented over 60%. From the site data, the building orientation was allocated based on purpose to capture maximum wind breeze and minimizing sun glare effect. Facing Taiping Lake make this proposal got its own primary vista. And to commercialized the proposal, all four facade was designed with ESPN advertisement in a different way such as big screen, billboard, and glass to expose what happened inside the sports academy.

KAMPUNGMINIUM AFFORDABLE HOUSING l TRANSFORMATION PARADIGM TOWARDS VIVACIOUS COMMUNITY IDEA CONCEPT This concept emphasized INTERACTION as a main character to build and create a better community at affordable housing, especially at this site. From housing area, there’s a community, that automatically created a neighbourhood. But how does community interact each other between them in urban area? Less talking, less social, and everyday they just went home for sleep. This situation give a huge impact to that neighbourhood and this is what we call poor neighbourhood. By using the concept ‘KampungMinium’, the word itself describe the main intention of this proposal. Kampung, or village have a lot of positive elements that can be assimilated in urban area. The village sense, either sense of living or sense of communicate, was broadly used throughout the space planning and building itself. Starting from drop-off zone, building occupants can meet their neighbour at the mail room, open community area in front of multipurpose hall and lead them to the main garden at first floor which is also a huge and naturally ventilated reading space. The courtyard at the center of the building provide higher security level when building occupant can see people who use the vertical connector like stairs and lift. The single laoded internal layout also can provide the same function. BUILDING CONCEPTUAL DIAGRAM

IBS component was applied for this affordable housing project. The system used were precast concrete column, precast concrete beam, precast wall panel and lightweight concrete block. This method was proposed to save time and to achieved government intention, which is 70 -80% of any building components are from IBS component. GREEN LIVING APPROACHES/STRATEGIES A green building emphasises on the efficiency of resource usage while minimising the building impact on human and the environment thgough out the building cycle. The building must also reduce their carbon emission and increase in oxygen production. This intentions solved by providing a large number of planter box and designing the landscape either external or internally,depending on the architect approaches. Less mechanical or electrical system was used in order to be a better passive design buildings.

Today the site of the Pruitt-Igoe housing project is an overgrown brownfield forest marking modern architecture’s most contested moment and St.Louis’ urban renewal trauma. As the legacy of Pruitt-Igoe is critically examined again, the site itself beckons. Can this site be liberated from a turbulent and mythologized past through reimagination and community engagement?

“Revitalisation. Revitalised is to give either a person or a community, a new life, a new breathe and even a new hope.”
‘Today’s lecture is about Pruitt-Igoe. Let’s take a moment to understand the issues and how should you solve it for your Housing Project this semester’. It was the first moment when we first knew about Pruitt-Igoe and became keen with it. It was said to be famous for its large public housing in St.Louis, Missouri. It was the highlight of Modernism; Le Corbusier’s time had finally arrived. But within a decade, the living conditions in Pruitt-Igoe began to decay. But the things that never left the societies’ hearts were the traumatic moments. What actually went wrong? It was the highlight of the century where segregation, poverty, crime began to occur to the complex and had brought a sudden infamy to the people of St.Louis. So we ask you. Was it the poor community effort to be blamed? Or was there something incomplete about the design configurations of Pruitt-Igoe? This erudition process of Pruitt-Igoe was worthwhile but the results were firm. Now, time has changed and new things need to be rebirth. Pruitt-Igoe must be revitalised. Four different approaches; Interaction, Conservation, Historical and Respect were enough to symbolize the new revitalization. We decided to create a new ‘Multi Park’ that will unintentionally recharge back our everyday life and increase the social contact within a neighbourhood. Moreover, with this approach towards environmentalism will simultaneously produce a unified social movement towards environment consideration efore improve the com munity’s lifestyle. A Multi Park is formed for the people of St. Louis to start expressing themselves and share their personal interest with each other
The outcome of this design will be a renewal to one’s self either spiritually or even physically. Who wouldn’t want a new hope after a long time of grief?

THE FAILURE OF POCKET PARKS AT TAMAN MELAWATI SHOPHOUSES AREA AN INVESTIGATION OF EARTHQUAKE PREVENTION FOR BUILDING IN MALAYSIA
AN INVESTIGATION OF EARTHQUAKE PREVENTION FOR BUILDING IN MALAYSIA l M.Arch UNIVERSITY OF LIVERPOOL 2016 ABSTRACT
CONCLUSION
As evidence in the headlines, natural disasters and infrastructure failures can occur without warning, creating catastrophic result for an unprepared community. Malaysians are increasingly finding themselves exposed to disasters especially landslides and flood. As a country with very low seismic activity, most of the building in Malaysia may not consider seismic load during its structural design and construction. During these past few years, minor earthquake frequently happened. The responsible authorities should start to prepare themselves by learning and analysing the behaviour of previous earthquake in Malaysia. Malaysian Meteorological Service has issued a statement indicating that earthquake might be happened in Malaysia in a few years. This statement is supported by the recent earthquake occurred at Sabah in 2015. As for now, all builders and building designer should take this issue seriously and start developing their skills for this purpose and apply it in the future building design. At what cost does Malaysia need to get a technology for earthquake prevention structure system for domestic scale building? As a result, the most effective way is by using confined masonry construction. It is much affordable and suitable for domestic scale building which is in two-storey height. The method can be emerged with current local masonry construction at Malaysia to create an effective and adaptable construction technology in pursuance of earthquake resistant building in an economical way compared to RC frame.
184
At the very beginning of this research, the primary objective is to suggest the earthquake resistant non-engineered construction that can be applied to local masonry construction in Malaysia. After doing an analysis on several precedent studies, confined masonry buildings have performed well in several earthquakes worldwide. This type of construction has a high potential for saving lives and property in seismic prone areas. Based on observation, current masonry construction at Malaysia does not provide earthquake resistant construction. So the objective to suggest the earthquake resistant non-engineered construction can be done. Although Malaysia did not experience the high magnitude of the earthquake now, precautions should be taken for the upcoming disaster. There are loads of factors to be considered to get a satisfying result of earthquake resistant building such as the size of the plinth beam, the connection between confining element, the opening size, construction quality, and cost. In overall, efficient earthquake resistant building depends on several critical factors. The plan layout of the building has already well affected the building when facing an earthquake attack. Other than the design of the building and structure, using quality materials also, can enhance the performance of the building. Confined masonry construction type might be a good option for those who desire a high performance of low rise building is the seismic area. However, several obstacles need to be solving before this prevention can be done in Malaysia. The cost for confined masonry construction is cheaper than RC frame construction, but the application of this type of masonry require the usage of high-quality material and highly-skilled worker (professional bricklayer worker) will add an extra cost for the construction. Besides that, lack of familiarity with confined masonry can be the cause for occupant not to choose confined masonry construction. Lack of a building code for confined masonry in Malaysia can also be the reason for why it does not adapt in Malaysia. Perhaps by experiencing a real earthquake disaster will be a starting point towards this type of construction for a 2-storey scale of a building.
THE FAILURE OF POCKET PARKS AT TAMAN MELAWATI SHOPHOUSES AREA l BSc.Architecture (Hons) UiTM SI 2012 ABSTRACT
CONCLUSION
In densifying cities, small green spaces such as pocketparks are likely to become more important as settings for restoration. Well-designed small parks may serve restoration well, but earlier research on restorative environments does not provide detailed information about the specific components of the physical environment that support restoration. In this study I assessed the extent to which hardscape, grass, lower ground vegetation, flowering plants, bushes, trees, water, and size predicted the judged possibility for restoration in small urban green spaces. Public space is for public use (adapted from Moudon, 1987). A good public space must accommodative for everyone included the marginal, the forgotten, the silent (Badshah, 1996), and an undesirable people. They are informal street vendors; street people, different ability people, women, children, elderly, and others marginalized community. So far, these problems, as well as other social issues are clearly unresolved in the master plan of the city. "Cities for the Citizen '(Douglas & Friedmann, 1998) serves a slogan. Taman Melawati's shop houses pocket parks had been seen as a useless space. Only few people maximized this valuable space by using them and make it part of their shop. These space however have a potential to be an interesting pocket parks or common area such as entertainment place, playing area, or relaxation area for people there. Most people here treated this pocket space as a back lane space. The function of both pocket and backlane space had been misunderstood and this attitude bring a bad image to Taman Melawati's shop houses. Landscaping idea at pocket space or even backlane space actually can create another perception for any shop houses area. This element basically can be a supportive element to the shophouses and attract people, instead of the design of the building itself. Comparative study had been done between pocket space at Taman Melawati's shop houses and pocket space at Laman Seri Business Park,Shah Alam,Selangor.By using the data from my own observation, interview and reading,this paper discuss about the abandoned pocket space at Taman Melawati's shop houses, its potential and the idea to make it an interesting shop houses area.
Public spaces are a fundamental feature of a city. Apart from hosting everyday activities of the local community, these spaces also accommodate special public events such as festival or meeting. Social interactions that take place in these spaces will inevitably promote liveliness in the city. To the Taman Melawati's shop houses consumer, these kinds of activities are in fact cultural assets,which must not be neglected. To make it happens, a suitable activities at correct spaces should be considered. The existence of pocket spaces at the shop hoses area could be the first brilliant step to create this social public space. According to Douglas,1998, we must underline and and hear the borderless voicess. When the physical aspects of space can accommodate the space needs of the forgotten (Badshah, 1996), accommodative public space will be created. For Taman Melawati shop houses area, the neglected pocket parks should be improved to be a pocket parks that can be useful for local citizens there. By creating accessible space and a universal equipment design for everyone, the pocket parks can be a nucleus space for people there. Based on this research study that determines the factor of the failure of the pocket parks there, to re-make the pocket parks, we need a law enforcement to guide the design implementation based on the factor that have been studied and also based on the new approach that have been suggested.
