ABSTRACT

This study will be presented on the adaption usage of colonial shophuse, case study at Plan B, Jalan Panglima, and Ipoh Perak. As state by Langston et al.(2008) â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most buildings have an effective life span and once exceeded, two options exist, demolition or revitalization.â&#x20AC;? Observation and comparison be used as the method of study to gather information on the adaption usage of colonial shophouses at Jalan Panglima, Ipoh Perak. The procedure will be took place at Plan B as the case study and other few colonial shophouse nearby as reference. In observing the site, taking photos for reference and record information are needed. From the images that have been captured, comparison of the pictures will take place in identify the adaption use by Plan B in using the existing structure. From the comparison, a table will be produced to present the data. From the study, can be conclude that the guideline provide is not fully obeyed. There is still leeway in complying with the guidelines provide by the Badan Warisan Negara. It can be conclude that the guideline should be fully complied by Majlis Bandaraya Ipoh in allowing any renovation on the buildings that should be classified as heritage building.

1.0 CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION Ipoh is the capital city of Perak, Malaysia. This city was once dominated by tin mining. Located in a valley known for its mining of tin, the Kinta Valley used to be the famous and the biggest tin mining area on earth in the 19th century. Not only just tin mine, but Ipoh are also famous with its mysterious lime stone caves and beautiful mountain ranges, delicious food, friendly citizen and attractive history. Used to be the second in Malaysia that gain the status of city in year 1988 after Kuala Lumpur, Ipoh is one of the major cities in Malaysia with the population around 700,000. Began as a small village in 1870's, tin mining industry, which has become a major industry in the world has opened the door to immigration from China and India, which have boosted the city's development since 1890's. The town later becomes to be the capital of Perak on the Japanese occupation `in World War II. A rich source of tin has brought prosperity to many Ipoh miners that while formerly known as the City of Millionaires.

This development happened so fast. Many blocks of pre-war shop houses in the centre of Ipoh can remain completely untouched. However, the current owners just do not appreciate the architecture of the building before the war, or have any interest in restoring old buildings and chose to tear them down. This is exactly the same "tragedy" that has happened to the shophouses of Chung On Siew Street, Ibis Style Hotel last location, and blocks of shops in Hume Street. If the business man or the wealthy corporate keeps aside the heritage building and destroy it clearly for the growth of the city, it will be meaningless if

we tell future generations and visitors about the history of

Ipoh but there's only the pictures of it left. Many think that the preservation of heritage just to maintain some famous buildings. This reason alone is equivalent to letting a tree remained, while entire of the forest being sweep off.

1.1. Statement of Problem Adaptation of buildings is one of the solutions to the problem of disposal of the historical building. This adaptation is to meet the new function of the buildings in replace of the original purpose of the building why it was built. Adaptation was done to accommodate the new functionality of existing building structure of the building. This is done in order to appreciate and preserve the original appearance of the buildings as it is important in history.

Most buildings have an effective life span and once exceeded, two options exist, demolition or revitalization. (Langston et al. 2008)

Adaptive reuse is often identified as a preferred revitalization option. (Langston et al., 2008 and Yung and Chan, 2012)

Proponents of adaptive reuse argue it can extend the useful life of buildings, may be more cost effective than demolition and rebuilding, and has the added benefits of reducing material, transport and energy costs associated with new builds. (Ball, 1999, Bullen, 2007 and Bullen and Love, 2010)

Its benefits also extend well beyond the building's footprint to help revitalize existing neighbourhoods, reduce land consumption and urban sprawl, create a valuable community resource and, importantly, retain the character of existing neighbourhoods to enhance place attachment and lead to the aesthetic continuity of urban landscapes.(Ball, 1999 and Bullen, 2007).

1.2. Purpose of Study The purpose of this study is to identify the purpose why the adaptation is done at shophouse building in the city of Ipoh. Next study will compare the buildings renovated with the guidelines provide by the Badan Warisan dan Budaya. This comparison is aimed at ensuring that the guidelines provided are fully complied with by the city council to approve any application for the addition and renovation of buildings that are considered as the historic building to our country and Ipoh it self

1.3. Aim and Objective of Research ď Ź

Identify the adaptation made at the colonial shophouse in Ipoh.

ď Ź

To study the guideline from Badan Warisan dan Budaya Malaysia that controlled by Majlis Bandaraya Ipoh (MBI)

1.4. Scope of Study The study will be focused on the renovation made at the colonial shophouse at Ipoh Perak.This study focuses only on the changes made by the new owners of the building in the creation of new functions to the buildings without destroying, altering or eliminating the historical value of the buildings should in this respect. Therefore, the new owner should maintain the original structure of the building and every material use to build the building for its renovation.

2.0 CHAPTER 2: LITERATURE REVIEW

2.1 Background of Ipoh Ipoh is a town that grew between two rivers.

The date Ipoh founded was

not known, but in the 1880, they laid the foundations of „the town that tin built‟. Belongs to Malay legend, Dato Panglima Kinta owe their origin to a certain sea captain from Sumatra. He and his men are on their way up the Kinta River until they came to Gunong Cheroh. They stopped there as it is not possible to pole further up the stream. While resting, they encountered a genie whose home was in the hill. It revealed to the sea captain the name of the river and bade him to take the name of Kulop Kinta and call himself Lord of Kinta. The origins of the story are obscure. In fact the founder of the family of Dato-datoPanglima Kinta was a certain Tun Saban Balik, who came to the district in the fifteen century or earlier. There is little evidence to support the historical authenticity of the tale but the story of Ipoh must start somewhere and since it is quite impossible to give precise time and circumstance to the foundation of the town. In the legend, important facts that emerge, first, the link established between Ipoh and the family of DatoPanglima Kinta, and other, is the link between Ipoh and the river. There is no doubt that Ipoh grew up on the land belonging to the DatoPanglima Kinta. In 1888, Edward Brewster, the Acting District Magistrate and Collector reported, “the land upon which the town is built was formerly a kampong land, the greater part of which belonged to the DatoPanglima Kinta. With the approval of the Collector and Magistrate, the

Dato divided his land into building lots and sold them to Chinese at $25 a lot”. In conclusion, inference remains, that Ipoh was situated in the heartland of the DatoPanglima Kinta‟s domains.

2.2 Background of Plan B Plan B is a cafe at 75, Jalan Panglima, 31650 Ipoh. The building was belongs to the Far View company that has headquarters at Bangsar, Kuala Lumpur. The 90th century building originally built as a Chinese theatre and subsequently converted into a hawker centre and subsequently closed before reopening as a furniture store. After few periods passed, the buildings at 75, Jalan Panglima, 31650 Ipoh, this was then again left unoccupied. In around 1990, the buildings purchased by the Far Sight company which then rents the building site to The BIG Group cooperation. The cooperation then sent a petition to the city council to make the buildings as a cafe and it then named The Plan B.

This area was once famous as it is the focus of the family. Adjacent to “Kedai Kopi Kong Heng” is so well known in Ipoh, is where Plan B cafe located. The area was also known as the row of Chinese eatery. Until now, this area is filled with visitor especially the Chinese who want to experience the luxury of great food.

2.4 Adaptation of building

By referring the oxford online dictionaries, adaptation is the action or process of adapting or being adapted. In biology, it is the process of change by which an organism or species becomes better suited to its environment.

A building is a structure with roof and walls referred to the oxford dictionaries

and

from

Wikipedia,

they

state, building is

man-made structure with a roof and walls standing more or less permanently in one place.

Adaptation adjusts or repair buildings adjusted to the conditions. Boyd and Jankovic showed that the factor of adaptation to the building can be seen from the five factors: the condition of the occupants, the impact that affects adaptation, policy planning, and sustainability of the building (Avelyn and Guang Min. 2011).

In adapting to building occupants to adjust the financial condition of the house and benefits for the future. (Gann and Barlow, 1996)

From Adams, in his writing in Revitalization on Building: Strategies, Needs and Heritage, he said that, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The preservation and conservation of heritage building are importance because this is an historical heritage of a country. Without such evidence is likely to apply to a country to lose the history of their own identity and if this continues another nation that has strong ties with the country are able to colonize the country due to evidence the original inhabitants of the country had already disappeared.â&#x20AC;?

The thesis clearly state thatâ&#x20AC;&#x;s it is important in conserving our heritage building because the building itself is the proof and it may tell us a story of that place at a moment. History is important to help the new generation to understand who they are. A society without a clear history is likely to lose direction or even more worrying is to losing themselves.

In the ensuring the history, thus, the maintenance of heritage buildings is important to ensure that evidence of a history everlasting. By applying and use the concept of adaptation of buildings should be implemented to ensure that the building is protected and conserved.

As state by NurZulaika Bt. Atrah in her writing in Revitalization of Malaysia Old Town: Strategies and Consideration of Urban Fabric Intervention

“A

building can tell us many things such as the cultural value as well as the sense of place that helps to strengthen the place identity. Thus, these indicators will intrigue the anxiousness within one self to know more about the people and culture of the particular place. Historic preservation is always related to the values, including of architecture value, cultural value, social value, aesthetic value, the value of sense of place, and value of functional diversity”

The article tells us that the architecture of a building do relate with the culture and sense of place. This two factor do relate with the history of the country.

From the article, Zulaika also did mention about the Strategies for Revitalization of Historical Buildings. There Zulaika state that one of the factors is by rehabilitation. She state that “Whether with or without adaptive alterations, the best way of preserving building is to keep them in use. The original use is generally the best for conservation of the fabric, as it means fewer changes. However, in order to ensure the economic vitality, some of the old function of a building is turned into different function that has more potential of generating income.” She also said that “Adaptive Re-use (a form of adaptive alteration) defined as conversion of a building into a use other than that for which it was designed. For example, turning a block of

shophouses into a boutique hotel. However, the architectural façade treatment is retained to preserve the heritage value of the historical building as well as to maintain the existing public realm.” There, she also mentions that Yusof et al, 2007 said that, “Urban conservation also helps to reduce urban sprawl and reduce the creation of new towns through the revitalization of old town and adaptive reuse of the old buildings. This is more sustainable than to open new land because in the old town, basic infrastructure and the amenities are established. Delaying the need to build new towns is also a good practice for sustainable development by preventing extensive clearing of forested areas for urban expansion”.

It is said In the Revitalization of industrial buildings into hotels: Anatomy of a policy failure by, Lianping Ren, Louis Shih, Bob McKercher, there are six types of obsolescence ant that is; 1. Physical obsolescence where the building experiences natural decay over time. 2. Economic obsolescence where the building no longer generates the return on investment desired by the owner. 3. Functional obsolescence where current uses of the building no longer meet its needs. 4. Technological obsolescence where the building is no longer superior to alternatives. 5. Social obsolescence where the building no longer meets fashion or behavioural trends. 6. Legal obsolescence where the building no longer satisfies a variety of building ordinances.

2.5 Case Study

Figure 2.5.1 shows the facade of Reichstag building. Reichstag, New German Parliament Berlin, Germany 1992 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 1999 By, Foster and Partners

Description The transformations of the Reichstag are rooted in four related issues: the Bundestag's significance as a democratic forum, an understanding of history, a commitment to accessibility and a vigorous environmental agenda. As found, the Reichstag was mutilated by war and insensitive rebuilding. The reconstruction takes cues from the original fabric; the layers of history were peeled away to reveal striking imprints of the past - stonemason's marks and Russian graffiti scars that have been preserved as a 'living museum'. But in other respects it is a radical departure; within its heavy shell it is light and transparent, its activities on view.

Public and politicians enter the building together and the public realm continues on the roof in the terrace restaurant and in the cupola, where ramps lead to an observation platform, allowing people to ascend symbolically above the heads of their representatives in the chamber.

Figure 2.5.2 show the entrance to the Reichstag building. Figure 2.5.3 shows the decoration created on the wall

The cupola is now an established Berlin landmark. Symbolic of rebirth, it also drives the building's natural lighting and ventilation strategies. At its core is a 'light sculptor' that reflects horizon light down into the chamber, while a sun-shield tracks the path of the sun to block solar gain and glare. As night falls, this process is reversed - the cupola becomes a beacon on the skyline, signalling the vigour of the German democratic process.

Figure 2.5.4 above shows the interior café of Reichstag. Figure 2.5.6 shows the picture of open café of Reichstag

The building provides a model for sustainability by burning renewable bio-fuel – refined vegetable oil in a cogenerator to produce electricity: a system that is far cleaner than burning fossil fuels. The result is a 94 per cent reduction in carbon dioxide emissions. Surplus heat is stored as hot water in an aquifer deep below ground and can be pumped up to heat the building or to drive an absorption cooling plant to produce chilled water. Significantly, the building‟s energy requirements are modest enough to allow it to produce more energy than it consumes and to perform as a mini power station in the new government quarter.

Sustainability of the building, 

Site and Climate



The design utilises natural light as an architectural feature. Careful attention was paid to the sun‟s movement around the building and how this could be used to bring light into the space.



Form and Massing



The renovation project sought to bring light and openness into the building. To accomplish this, a large dome shaped sky light was installed to help capture and reflect daylight deep within the structure.



Passive Design



The solar collector brings natural lighting into the heart of the building, whilst an automated solar shade protects against unwanted, direct solar gain. The main chamber of parliament is naturally ventilated via the cupola.



Environmental Systems



The building was designed to optimise the use of passive systems whilst minimising active systems. Both the artificial lighting and ventilation are controlled by a central BMS system and a heat exchanger recovers waste heat from the exhaust air.



Renewable Energy



A biofuel powered, Combined Heat and Power (CHP) provides approximately 80% of the annual electricity and 90% of the heat load of the building. A large Ground Source Heat Pump (GSHP) acts as a seasonal store of both heat and coolth. Photovoltaic‟s on the roof power the solar shade within the light sculpture.



Energy Infrastructure



The CHP and GSHP units, at peak operation, provide energy to both the Reichstag and surrounding government buildings.



Mobility and Connectivity



There are public transport links near to the building and a large number of bike racks for both staff and visitors.



Materials and Waste



The design aimed to protect and maintain the masonry shell of the heritage building, whilst redeveloping some of the core areas. By retaining most of the original building structure, construction and demolition waste was significantly reduced.



Water



Inside the building low flow fixtures and fittings were selected to help reduce the potable water requirements. All landscaping is either low maintenance or hardscaping, to minimise water usage.



Land and Ecology



The bio-fuel used to power the CHP unit is derived from locally produced rapeseed vegetable oil. The Reichstag, next to the River Spree, is surrounded by landscaped areas, with a mix of biological diversity that is protected and managed.



Culture and Heritage



In stripping back previous reconstruction to the building, striking imprints from the past were unearthed, including graffiti left by Soviet soldiers. These discoverers influenced the design, creating a space that sought to become a „living museum‟ of German history. Drawing light into the heart of the building, helped to create an open and visible platform for the German democratic process.



Wellbeing



The design sought to bring light and fresh air into the heart of the Reichstag, improving user wellbeing. The additions of viewing galleries and breakout spaces have brought additional amenities to the building.



Prosperity



The use of a locally produced biodiesel has helped protect and enhance the local agricultural economy. Increased tourist numbers to the Reichstag, has bought added benefits to the immediate vicinity.



Planning for Change



Creating a building that was open and honest about its past has helped it become open-minded and forward-thinking about its future. The Reichstag has now become a beacon, signalling the vigour of the German democratic process.

ď&#x201A;ˇ

Performance in Use

ď&#x201A;ˇ

The operational energy profile for The Reichstag, shows that it uses 57% less primary energy than typical existing buildings, and 39% less than the requirements for new buildings.
