University Putra Malaysia , Serdang , Selangor Landscape Architecture Bachelor Project - Final Year Project
UPM Serdang campus was established as school of agriculture back in 1931. Agricultural farms, pastures, orchards as well as artificial forests or arboretums became a large part of the dominant character of the campus landscape. However, the changes that have taken place in the direction of the university in the last three decades have changed the function of space, physical characteristics and the value of "sense of place". The application of landscape design of UPM campus doesn’t have clear goal is "ad-hoc" and "territorial" It causes negative impact on the relationship between green spaces , academic building and connecting routes that will affect student and staff campus experiences and learning or working environment. The intention of the site chosen is to reestablish legibility of green space to offer a different kind of “destination campus” experiences and better learning or working environment.

Campus life isnt all about learning or working, it’s also about making life long new friends, enjoying new experiences ,and learning about diverse cultures. When students think back on their university days, they often fondly recall traversing campus paths heading to and from class or work; lying in the grass relaxing; or escaping to beloved outdoor enclaves of campus with friends to break from frenetic schedules. Some of the most influential and cherished setting on UPM campuses are the outdoor spaces that stitch buildings together

Built up the “Heart” ( Station )
The New Old - PJ City is an exciting and relaxing place to co-working and living with. The concept is all about the seamless merging of different mobility and social strategies to create a place in which people want to stay longer. The transit station plays as the “Heart” of the city that connects the people movement and access to range of social activities throughout the site just like the “Blood Vessels”. The green linkage is spread with hierarchy like the arteries in our body and people are like the “Oxygen” that are link to different “Organs” which is the public spaces that serve various functions such as food,play,meet,learn and work.
Strengthen the “Arteries”
Intergrate the “Veins”
Realign the “Aorta” Emphasis the “Organs”
The street is engaged with multi-modal system which include the ART train, local bus, cars, cycling and pedestrians. Shred bike stations are provided within 300m to provide carbonless and affordable travel. Active store frontage along the streets by food trucks and activities create safer and interesting path.
The Entrance Plaza connects Jaya Outlet Mall with Amcorp Mall Foodwalk Extension together to create a seamless relationship betweenboth spaces. Speed reduction facilities area applied to create slower streets that are safe for pedestrian when crossing. The intergration of skywalk is designed to seperate the pedestrian from the vehicles on road so that pedestrian could walk comfortably and safely to the LRT Station while indulging the scenery of PJ Seksyen 52.

Within each small cluster of buildings, there will be a community space in the middle to encourage people to come together such as outdoor library, living green room and also the communities orchard.
The office park is linear park located between Federal Highway and business buildings. The underpass area is redesigned into an outdoor cinema space and it could be transformed to other purposes during othertime. People can also enjoy skateboarding at the skate park to release their stress after a whole day of work.
This area is located a minute distance away from the station. The information centre is located at the edges of the street to provide the sense of welcoming for the people when arrived.
Other than that, the streets are boost with interesting movement of artworks b y local graffiti artist on the right side. While on the other side, there will be street vendors selling local products and also cafe for chilling.

Non Architecture - Waterless World Competition
Are we running out of clean water? At the planetary scale, we can’t run out of water thanks to the water cycle. But most of the water is inaccessible to the people because 97% of it is saltwater, 2% are from the glaciers and only 1% left is shared among all the living creatures on earth. And among this precious 1% of water, 92% of it surprisingly consume by a single industry, which is agriculture. In this project, our team tried to use the most low-cost way to create blue opportunities for the people and at the same time feed the thirst of the agriculture. Mesh nets and bamboo stems are used to create fog catchers that harvest fresh waters from the fog. Although the water harvested is undrinkable, but it is crucial for agriculture and household usage in places where people can hardly get water in their daily life. With low constructing cost of the nets, it can collect up to 100 liters of water per day for irrigating the crops and also bring hopes to the outskirts communities.
