PENANG TRANSPORTATION HUBS (PaTH) At George Town, Penang For Penang Development Corporation In Collaboration With Penang Port
Typology : Transportation Site : George Town, Penang Penang Ferry Service is the oldest ferry service in Malaysia. Located in the state of Penang, this famous ferry service connects Sultan Abdul Halim ferry terminal in Butterworth to Raja Tun Uda ferry terminal at Weld Quay in George Town in Penang Island. The ferries are designed for vehicles to roll-on/ roll-off. Some board pedestrian passengers on the upper deck and small vehicles (cars) on the lower deck, whereas some board vehicles on both decks. Penang ferry terminal is known as water gateway to the island. However, the demand for using ferry as public transport are high but due to poor services of the ferry and long interval trip cause decreasing of passengers and the profit margin. The government decided to take over the ferry terminal to improve the services and boost the profit margin.
George Town is well known for its heritage and was engraved on the UNESCO World Legacy Register in 2008 as a result of its ‘special building and social townscape unparalleled in East and Southeast Asia’. As the historical gateway, the revitalisation of ferry terminal will increase more arrivals of ferry and passenger, therefore promote the UNESCO heritage site of George Town. The new ferry terminal will reduce the heavy traffic on the Penang Bridge that connect the island and Butterworth especially during peak hours on the morning and the evening. Revitalisation is the way to achieve “moving people to the island instead of vehicles” as mention by the minister of Penang. The ferry terminal also will be the culture exposure area for the local and overseas visitor as they first time arriving at the water gateway. The ferry terminal will exhibit the initial This proposed project focus on the revitalisation cultural images of the uniqueness of Penang. They of the existing ferry terminal incorporate with also can access the information of the places, foods the existing bus terminal,taxi, and trishaw stop to and activities that happening in George Town upon serve better transportation services to the public. their travel.

THE SITE
The Raja Tun Uda Pier (Ferry terminal) was opened only in 1959. During the 1880s, a stretch of seafront was reclaimed and named after Sir Frederick Weld, Governor of the Straits Settlements (188587). Offices and godowns were built on the new waterfront in the distinctive Straits Eclectic styletypified by colonnaded arcades. They housed the offices of European firms like Boustead, Behn Meyer, Macalister & Co. and Paterson Simons who were shipping agents, general importers and tin refiners. During the World War II, many of the fine buildings near the port were bombed and destroyed, including Government offices at Beach Street and Downing Street (a section of it survived), Victoria Pier and Railway Pier. The built heritage of George Town does not simply consists of individual buildings, it include the ensemble of buildings and streetscape elements, and the way they are clustered and oriented to form the historic urban fabric of the city. The protection of vistas, enclaves and streetscapes are therefore essential towards the preservation of this fabric. The hills and the Straits remain strong topographical features that frames and identifies George Town’s sense of place. The roofscape and skyline, and the prominence of certain landmarks are significant in the way the historic city is perceived and read. It is imperative that this waterfront vista remains uninterrupted from any development projects within the WHS. Sea view vista is a panoramic view towards or from the sea to a certain location or area. Each of the panoramic views has its significant view towards the area providing an extra appreciation towards the beauty of Penang from a bigger picture. The panoramic view looking inwards from the ferry and outwards towards the sea needs to be protected and enhanced. Public access from the streets through the jetties should be allowed. | 14
SITE ANALYSIS George Town is an extraordinary World Legacy site. Together with Melaka, George Town was engraved on the UNESCO World Legacy Register in 2008 as a result of its ‘special building and social townscape unparalleled in East and Southeast Asia’. The World Heritage posting portrays the two towns as excellent cases of construction modelling and the multi-social legacy what’s more, conventions of Southeast Asia, communicated through both unmistakable legacy and impalpable legacy living social practice. The building under core and buffer zones of the UNESCO heritage sites needs further requirements from the local authorities based on special area plan requirements. The buldings on the heritage sites divided into three categories and fortunately, the ferry terminal sites is under replacement categories. So, there will be no problem to demolish and construct new ferry terminal with facilities.

SOLAR PANEL
SHADOW CASTING
Global Solar unveiled a new type of flexible solar module that builders can stick directly on the roof, rather than constructing racks to hold heavy glass-covered cells. The modules won’t cost less than traditional arrays, at least initially, but they make it easier to include solar power at the time of construction and, without the racks, can cover a greater portion of the roof and provide more power. The 19 foot-long modules employ cells made of copper, indium, selenium, and gallium. They’re a great fit for flat commercial roofs and perform relatively well in areas that don’t get direct sunlight. iT has 11.4% to 12.7% aperture efficiency. The global formula to estimate the electricity generated in output of a photovoltaic system is : E = A * r * H * PR
E = Energy (kWh) A = Total solar panel Area (m2) r = solar panel yield or efficiency(%) H = Annual average solar radiation on tilted panels (shadings not included) PR = Performance ratio, coefficient for losses (range between 0.5 and 0.9, default value = 0.75)
CALCULATION TOTAL ROOF AREA AT EACH WING Roof area = 44 000mm X 16 000mm =704 SQM 1 Unit solar panel = 490mm X 5700mm = 2.79 SQM If the roof is fully equip with the solar panel =704 SQM / 2.79 SQM =252 Units Proposed 50% of the roof area to be equiped with solar panel, therefore PROPOSED ROOF AREA = 362.7 SQM = 126 units ENERGY CALCULATION TERMINAL A E = A * r * H * PR E = 362.7 X 12.7 X 1785 X 0.75 = 6 166 671 = 6166.67 kWh TERMINAL B E = A * r * H * PR E = 362.7 X 12.7 X 1785 X 0.75 = 6 166 671 = 6166.67 kWh TOTAL ENERGY = 6166.67 kWh + 6166.67 kWh = 12 333.34 kWh | 24

WATER SUPPLY The water usage of Penang Ferry Terminal and transportation hub will be supply by Perbadanan Bekalan Air Pulau Pinang (PBAPP). The supply will be tapped from the existing main pipeline along the main road. The main pipeline will be direct to the suction tank which located on the ground floor level before pumped up to the domestic water tank on the roof level and will be supply to the toilet by gravitational force. Direct water supply will be directly served the food court kitchen, cafe and preparation area at the upper level of the terminal.

AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM Air quality is one of the most important inside a transportation hub to provide high comfort level to the passengers. The public spaces inside transportation hubs require proper temperature, humidity control and clean air. An ever increasing rate of air pollution is threatening air conditioning system andthe buildings they are in. Moreover, the pollution is not only affected the indoor air quality but also the performance of the air conditioning system. A corroded air cooled heat exchanger causes a higher condensing temperature resulting in higher compsumption. CENTRALISED AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM Centralized units send cool air directly through air ducts or vents located in each room. Each room can be cooled instead of cooling just one room. Ambient air is pulled into the air handler unit from each room through return-air ducts. The system filters the air that passes through it, removing airborne particles, like lint, and allergens, like dust, pollen and pet dander. Filtered air is then re-routed back to the rooms via a separate ductwork system. These systems can even trap the most microscopic pollutants. Obviously, more expensive filters can capture more pollutants and increase the air quality in the home. Having constantly clean and cool air is a major benefit with central air conditioners.

ESCALATOR
Escalator is an one of the most important things in transportation hubs. It transfer people one floor to another floor within short time without exertion. Penang ferry terminal and transportation hubs provide 12 escalator for the passenger to transfer from floor to floor whose choose not to use staircase and lift.

The new ferry terminal and transportation hubs will provide better services to the public and enhance the existing facilities. The sloping green roof will become new lanmark to the George Town area and allow people to directly access the 2nd level which is ferry terminal level from the ground floor. Two wings terminal will increase the number of ferry to arrive and depart which also can increase the number of passengers. Therefore, this will reduce the numbers of vehicles into the island and achive the target of Penang Minister to move people instead of vehicle. Interactive courtyard become the new attraction to the local or international visitors to have a good impression of George Town upon their arrival to the ferry terminal. The new sky cafe and observation deck at the upper level of the ferry terminal will attrat people to view the green and blue view of the George town. 35 |

PENANG WATER GATEWAY Revisiting George Town : Promoting Tourism Footprints in UNESCO Cultural City of George Town Typology : Urban Design Site : George Town, Penang Waterfront is a valuable asset area in cities where it becomes a place to live, work, and play. A very well known phenomena all over the world, where the waterfront becomes the catalyst for development which is once an undistrurbed natural environment, but when time evolves it transformed into a more progressive and complex area. Therefore, the state and quality of the waterfront need to redevelop and improve in serving a better atmosphere for the people. Waterfront development can be relate to the heritage, commercial, recreational, residential, cultural, educational, environment as well as working and transportation waterfront. Urban waterfront are special cultural resources which is unique in their potential to improve economic development, public enjoyment and civic identity. In the contex of George Town which is one of the UNESCO heritage, the waterfront is not fully utilised by the people as it should be. The waterfront is belong to the people so it should be program to gather people from the city to have green activities. The transportation hub will be the catalyst for the environmental, sosial and economical develop-
ment of the George Town historical city. The Ferry terminal should act not only as transit only but comprise with the secondary program for the public. Therefore, the non-place transit can be transform into anthropological place. The place making of waterfront should be a way to cater people from the inner city to the waterfront by making a nodes with supporting anchor. The increasing population in Penang lead to the increasing number of registered motor vehicles. The number of registered motor vehicles already exceed the population of the Georgetown in the year 2004 and the number still increasing in time and leed to traffic congestion in Penang. Therefore, public transport became another option for the workers and people on the Penang Island to avoid traffic congestion on the Penang bridge, of course the ferry terminal is the only alternative ways for the people from the Butterworth, Penang to enter the island. The old George Town ferry terminal should be considered to be revitalise as a new design and services system to encourage people using the public transport.

SITE ISSUE
Despire being the facade and the main gateway to the historic city of George Town, the site does not promote a welcoming and inviting ambience to the public. The low diversity of activities involving the public and for wayfinding guiding the public into the inner city of George Town result in poor identity for the site. Thus, produce non-amiable ambience for the public and the tourists that came to visit the historic city of George Town. The lack of amiability on the site can be described into three (3) sub issues which are in terms of planning where the planning on zone is not centralised and has no dear transition or dispersion point, which causes poor wayfinding to aid the public, in term of profit there are a low number of diversity of activities that could help project income for George Town, and lastly in termsof experience the public cannot experience the most navigable walking experience as the road is full with hustle, bustle by the cars and busses. The increasing population in Penang lead to the increasing number of registered motor vehicles. The number of registered motor vehicles already exceed the population of the Georgetown in the year 2004 and the number still increasing in time and leed to traffic congestion in Penang. Therefore, public transport became another option for the workers and people on the Penang Island to avoid traffic congestion on the Penang bridge, of course the ferry terminal is the only alternative ways for the people from the Butterworth, Penang to enter the island.

THE SITE
The site was located at the waterfront area of the GEORGETOWN, Penang Malaysia. As acknowledgment of its well-preserved cultural and historical heritage, the city was listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO on the 7th of July 2008. George Town is the colorful, multicultural capital of the Malaysian island of Penang. Once an important Straits of Malacca trading hub, the city is known for its British colonial buildings, Chinese shophouses and mosques.The main attraction of the site are the ferry terminal, the transportation hubs and the green area facing the blue sea.

However, George Town heritage site still be a must go destination among the tourist. 59 |
THEORIES
| 60
The transportation hub of the bus, taxi, trishaw and the ferry terminal will be the catalyst for the development of the George Town historical city. The history of the development of any urban center will be incomplete without a mention of the role of mass transit in the whole process. Indeed the role of mass transit as a catalyst in industrial revolution and urbanization cannot be over emphasized, in the case of new. The ferry terminal is categories as non places because most of the people go to the ferry terminal only to transit to different places. It only act as ‘in between spaces’ which is depend only one function. The space of non place creates neither singular identity nor relations, only solitude and similitude. To create a place, the function of the place must have identity and relation to the surrounding site. To transform the nonplace ferry terminal into places, the suitable program should be add functioning other than transit which create multi experiences for the people inside the ferry terminal. Places the traditional societies define a dense network of history, relation and identity, that ties them to the place where are they living. Different program inside the ferry terminal will eager the people to the ferry terminal not for transit but aiming for the secondary program of the ferry terminal which can be eatery area, refreshment area, shopping area or exhibition area. Clearly places do not have single unique ‘identities’. They are full of internal conflicts . None of this denies place nor the importance of uniqueness of place. The specificity of place is continually reproduced, but it is not a specificity which result from some long, internalized history, there are a number of sources of this specificity. 61 |

TYPOLOGIES The typologies provided to have a variety in design from the overall design. the typologies provided include the different type of shophouses, ferry terminal, open spaces, boulevard, pocket green and waterfront promenade that proposed to the overall masterplan of the waterfront area. Each type of typology provide different approaches with same identity of George Town to give different vibe of architecture atmosphere for the public.

URBAN DEVELOPMENT PHASE
The site area mostly consist with category replacement with some of category II heritage building. The place making of the site begin with the boulevard of the Gat Lebuh Pasar which act as impulse to attract local and tourist participation. The existing Gate Lebuh Pasar will be fully pedestrianised to encourage people to walk in the heritage site and enjoy the art and heritage trails proposed. This also include the development of the building beside the boulevard which are zone as the mix-used development. After that, the waterfront boulevard, promenade, green area and the open space will be develop to cater the green needs of the people inside the city. The green waterfront area will served as the activity area for the public. Next, the transportation hub including the bus, taxi and trishaw transit area will be improve by providing better circulation, services and facilities. Lastly, the ferry terminal will be develop based on the strong axis from the Gat Lebuh Pasar boulevard.
| 70
71 |
URBAN DESIGN STRATEGIES The first design strategy is improving the existing open space including changing Gat Lebuh Pasar into boulevard. The existing Gat Lebuh Pasar is a secondary road consisting of MPPP( Majlis Pembandaran Pulau Pinang) food court and the open corner space at the side surrounded with other heritage building. In the making of the boulevard, the existing category replacement hideous food court will be demolished and replace the existing program to the open corner space beside. The open space will be develop into 4-storey shop house blending with the existing shop house at the adjacent. The ground floor is zoned to be cafe for public which allow the people to eat alongside the boulevard. The design aim to fully padestrianised and enliven the road with the adjoining heritage shop house. The place making of the boulevard also axis to the new ferry terminal. The open space of the waterfront area develop to be green to adequate the lack of green inside the city. The pocket green in parcel are mostly develop into new development such as hotel, shop houses or even the parking area. So, the green waterfront area which also included with plaza and event area will cater people from the city to fully utilised the green.
| 72
The second design strategy is economic based program such as the gallery and the exhibition hall in the waterfront facing the blue sea. The gallery also included with the plaza amphitheater which create curate shows in time for the arriving tourist from ferry terminal to learn about history, cultural and heritage of George Town Penang. The gallery also can be rented out by any organiser or individual to exhibit their art work for the public. The pier cafe restaurant is design to improve the existing Church Street Pier which demolished under category replacement. Its allow the public to flavour the taste of Penang food while having maximum view to the blue sea. The third strategy is the transportation hub including the ferry terminal and the pit stop (bus, taxi and trishaw transit) The new ferry terminal is design based on the case study of the Yokohama ferry terminal with adjustment to the George Town cultural and environmental site. The underground floor is zoned for the parking, the ground and first floor is for the terminal and the upper floor is for the offices including the kastam and Penang Port Corporation. Its allow the public to excess the green roof on the top which act as the pier to view the sea. The ferry terminal also included with secondary program of refreshment activities such as jogging, taichi, picnic, and resting. The pit stop is one of the strategy to solve the existing unorganised public transport. The pit stop also provided basic facilities for the passenger and also the staff. 73 |

The compactness of the slum area had creating various issues that had affecting the quality of living environment around the favela. Although the initial grid of the settlements are clear enough but once the area had been densify by people, slowly had affected the natural grid of the favela as a whole. Resulting from that, most of the open spaces had been diminished as the population growth is greatly increasing until now. Moreover, the compactness of living environment had also lead to various crime cases in which not only happen in Brazilian slum but also other slum area in other part of the world. Since the living environment is not conducive enough for the people to have some kind of richness in thinking capacity, the psychological taught of the residents had been affected.

environmental forces itself. If the environment is good, then, the children will grow in a good way. By looking at these issues whether environmentally or psychologically, we are not only focusing on the issue of open spaces specifically but also we bring some sort of a more projected vision in order to bring the favela’s image not as a slum in existence but we are going to intervene the future projection of the slum area sustainably. This is because, we can’t really stop the slum to not to grow. So, as a designer it is very important for us to think of how they will grow instead of just focusing on certain elements like open spaces as to solve the whole problems. Still, the stacking of proposed new housing scheme vertically will creates new open spaces incidentally. Some may use other’s rooftop as their public spaces while some may have an extended balcony as the social area. By that, the children will have their playing space, youngsters have more party spaces and the older generation have a place where they could plant their own vegetables and socialize.

ISSUES & DILEMMA
Favela Paraisopolis located at Sao Paolo, Brazil is the second biggest slum in Brazil in which it inhabitates 60,000 people at a piece of 100 hectare land that contain 600 people per hectare. The compactness of the slum area had creating various issues that had affecting the quality of living environment around the favela. Although, the initial grid of the settlements area clear enough but once the area had been densify by people slowly had affected the natural grid of the favela as a whole. Resulting from that, most of the open spaces had been diminished as the growth of population is greatly incresing untill now.

VISION AND FRAMEWORK
The vision of the total design intervention is to creates sustainable slum developments where by that not only the environmental problems could be reduced but at the same time will improve the psychological environment of the peoples in the favela & thus, the favela is no longer an ordinary slum settlements but it become a brand new urban settlement contrasting its surrounding modern development.

PIN UP ! SOCIETY Typology : Urban Design Site : George Town, Penang Pin up! Society is a hypothetical project that is targeted for the youth in Malaysia. The site is located in Georgetown, Penang. The reason we choose Penang? It is the place where the youth can express themselves by contributing to the public in any way they can, as Penang is trying new ways to express their heritage tourism. This project is an egg-shaped dome, which can be in several places and typologies. We proposed 4 typologies that can be used in Penang. This is to suit the condition of the heritage buildings in Penang and how we can squeeze in the domes with minimal changes to the heritage buildings. From the 4 typologies, there are various programs that can be installed to suits the current trend of youthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s activities. These domes can be accessed through the hypothetical apps we created to create a new journey simulation to the youth. Keywords : steel dome, urban salvage, youth

The millennials have different characteristics than any generation before them and in order community-minded to serve them better, K-12 education and colleges and universities are having to change the way they do business. The millennials have grown up in a society that is very different than any group before them. They have been plugged into technology since they were babies, are a safe generation and have the most educated mothers of any generation before them. They are the most scheduled generation ever, are true multi-taskers, expect to have 6-8 careers in their lifetime.
