ABSTRACT This Design Thesis Report is prepared in two parts. Part ‘A’ covers the works executed in Semester 3 which dealt with Project Formulation and Schematic Design. Part ‘B’ covers the works executed in Semester 4 which dealt with Design Development, various Technical Studies, and Special Study. This proposed project will be about on encouraging and developing a healthier generation of youth not only physically, but phychologically and socially. This project provides multi-use sport facilities that offer social cohesion between youth from different background and supporting youth active lifestyle events. Realization of this project will surely increase the quality of life and wellbeing of Malaysian youth by achieving a very satisfying stage on the next Malaysian Youth Index (MYI). Youth Recreational Sports Centre [YouRS Centre] aimed to create a new gathering place for youth from different background and interest to mingle, mix and meet with their same group of age and through the specific task of setting an example value for the country’s Recreational Sports Centre. The program held in this centre maps current and potential users and their known and unknown needs. YouRS Centre are designed and programmed so that it will be drawn around the youth’s future life and versatile recreational sports activities. YouRS Centre provide a place that enable youth to spend their time in ‘healthy’ activities and positive vibes that would likely encourage and inspire many more to attend and try out a ‘new’ sport or new forms of movement in space, shape and atmosphere regardless of qualification and no special attention to results, performance and playing. Unlike the design intention of the past half century in buildings for sport that are focusing on performance and professional standards - achievement-oriented, YouRS Centre will be focusing on the philosophy of sports for all - giving sports a particular social significance.

PART A: DESIGN
INTRODUCTION BACKGROUND Urban open spaces such as parks and green spaces are key built environment elements within neighbourhoods for encouraging a variety of physical activity behaviours. Over the past decade, there has been a burgeoning number of active living research studies examining the influence of urban open space on physical activity. Parks and public spaces are often built with small children and adults in mind, with an emphasis on playgrounds for the children and benches for the adults watching them. Young people use public spaces just as much as anyone else, if not more. And yet, too often young people, or young adults between the ages of 12 to 25, are not included in the process of Placemaking and end up “loitering” in other spaces. A number of studies found that the main reason of youth visiting the park is to use a particular facility at the park, such as courts, skateboarding, gymnasium and
others. Thus, availability of these specific facilities can be an attraction point for the youth to visit the park. Some people might see these activities as an entertainment and help in releasing stress. These activities are indeed the physical activities that can promote an active lifestyle and encourage youth development.
WHO ARE YOUTH? There is no universal agreement on who youth are. Some people say that youth is more a state of mind than a time of life. However, many government agencies, nonprofit programs and media outlets define youth as a distinct period of time in life and name ages for when it begins and when it ends. Legal systems around the world skirt the issue by using terms like adolescent, juvenile and teenager to describe this age range.
MALAYSIAN YOUTH INDEX (MYI) Positive youth Development in Malaysia were measured using the methodology of measurement through research using the positivity or asset development of youths through the Malaysian Youth Index (MYI) by the Institute For Youth Research Malaysia (IYRES) . MYI is the benchmarking/indicators to measure quality of life and wellbeing of Malaysian youth. MYI 2015 contains 12 domains and 58 indicators, which are produced by means of a survey on youths.
“This world demands the qualities of youth; not a time of life but a state of mind, a temper of the will, a quality of the imagination, a predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the life of ease.”
-Robert F. Kennedy(Former United States Senator)

DESIGN BRIEF Youth Recreational Sports Centre [YouRS Centre] aimed to create a new gathering place for youth from different background and interest to mingle, mix and meet with their same group of age and through the specific task of setting an example value for the country’s Recreational Sports Centre. The program held in this centre maps current and potential users and their known and unknown needs. YouRS Centre are designed and programmed so that it will be drawn around the youth’s future life and versatile recreational sports activities.

Unlike the design intention of the past half century in buildings for sport that are focusing on performance and professional standards - achievement-oriented, YouRS Centre will be focusing on the philosophy of sports for all - giving sports a particular social significance.
Philosophy of ‘SPORT FOR ALL’ includes all three models of sport, but primarily sport for ‘health and exercise’, and sport as ‘play and culture’. In competitive sport the social logic is one of measurement of results, comparison and competition. The emotional atmosphere is one of winning or losing. This establishes a dissociation with the other. This model is most obviously experienced in the model of elite sport. “... is often a mixture of popular festivity and gymnastic mass sport. It is therefore a field of diffuse and composed identities.” (Eichberg, 2010)
competitive sport
play and culture
health and exercise
sports as play and culture includes popular sports, games and festivity. This is a model of meeting the other, allowing for diversity and participation for all. Play and games often include competitive elements, but renounce the sportive production of results.
EXPERIENCING SPACE FOR SPORTS Sports New satisfying & stimulating sports facilities gathered under one roof “A strategy that will challenge the conventional idea of a sports hall by addressing the potential of promoting social interaction at the interplay between architecture, sports and the current youth.” Recent architectural trends - within the field of sports: • Imply more activities. • Merging functionality & diversity in use. • New architectural understandings. Architecture Culture • Forms of social interaction. 10
Sports for health and exercise represents another model of treating the other. It stresses discipline and fitness for the purpose of an integrating and normalizing the other.

A shift from achievement and obligation to an atmosphere of joy and laughter has the potential of changing the perspective of maintaining one’s health and stimulating well-being through bodily engaging activities. Physical activity is healthy, but first and foremost it should be fun! is is one of the key parameters of the future for making people physically active and keeping them active.
‘GREEN CRITICISM’ Social significance (of space for sport) Back into the open ? Critique of immuring Critique of artificial nature INNER-TOWN GREEN concept • A reinterpretation of the historical town greens • Providing an open space for city residents to meet around sports, play, festivity and recreation. • Implying the idea of a similar indoor space with the same richness of opportunities for both organized as well as informal activities in a mix and variety inspired by the variations in activity spaces • Spaces are more open with more functions in same space, in a desire for interaction, openness and exibility. • Vanishing the strong separation between activities, suggesting movement across different activities. • Emerging new spatial qualities so that new patterns of activity can be met. • Activating and integrating groups who usually are not physical active.

FACTOR INVESTING IN KOTA DAMANSARA
FEASIBILITY STUDY MARKETING FEASIBILITY Market trends In Malaysia, sports and sports facilities developments have improved rapidly over the past years. However, such improvements are inadequate compared to the overall development of sports at the international level (National Sports Policy, 2007). The National Policy in Malaysia is a sport policy for all. It encompasses both high performance sport and mass sport to achieve national development, unity and continued stability (National Sports Policy, 2007). Mass Sport is a relatively recent phenomenon in the country and the priority of the Ministry of Youth and Sports has recently been to provide facilities for mass sports (National Sports Policy, 2007), including Kompleks Belia dan Sukan Negara (National Youth and Sports Complex), Kompleks Rakan Muda (Youth Friendly Complex) in all states and Pusat Belia Antarabangsa (International Youth Centre). The majority of these facilities are under the Ninth Malaysia Plan (2006-2010) and they are quite new. A number of community sports clubs was established at the state and parliamentary levels. A total of 1,282 multipurpose sports courts and fields were built to encourage people to adopt a healthy lifestyle. In order to raise the standard of sports, coaching programmes for 21,200 trainers and facilitators were undertaken. In addition, resources were channelled into high performance sports to nurture world class athletes. From 2001-2010, Malaysia Government development expenditure and allocation for sports programmes saw more that 100% increased as shown in the table.
Demographic and Economic Trends The project is located at Padang Kota Damansara, Persiaran Mahogani, Kota Damansara, Petaling Jaya, Selangor. •
Demographics overview of Petaling District According to the map below, most of the Malaysian citizen are the Youth aged from 25-30 years old. Compared to other district in Selangor, district of Petaling stated the highest number of youth with 52.29% (991200) of the total population (1895300) of the district are youth. 26
In 2012 Budget, the Government proposed an allocation of RM15 million for the construction of 150 additional futsal courts in line with the one futsal court one mukim (county) programme and RM50 million to build artificial pitches with floodlights in 30 selected locations nationwide. Further tax incentive also recommended to be granted to corporate bodies that decide to build infrastructure for sports or set up sports academies. It is hoped that the burden of preparing infrastructure for sports would not only hang on the shoulders of the government if the proposal accepted by the cabinet. Currently the government offers tax exemption as an incentive to corporate bodies that support or sponsor sports events but that will not be sufficient to boost sports development in the country. Government also encouraging public private partnership (PPP) schemes in connection with the development of sporting infrastructure. PPP in the sporting arena expected to brings benefits to infrastructure projects as a whole: budget reductions, better value for money for private investors, application of the best managerial and technological practices and minimization of risks typical of the public sector.
•
Economic Trends of Sports Facilities In the past twenty years, there has been a dramatic increase in construction of new sports facilities. From professional leagues to colleges to city recreation facilities, it appears that the trend will continue. Much of the cost of new construction or renovation is subsidized. Those in support of subsidies believe that these new facilities will provide a substantial economic impact. The construction of these facilities will inject new spending into the local economy through fan support (ticket and other product revenues), job creation and tax revenues.
