The three metal Chinese gateways along Gerard Street built between 1985 and 1986 were modified from the traditional Chinese arch. These are westernised and scaled-down version of the actual gateway, as the streets could not fit the original heavy timber archway. These three arches are reduced in size and were constructed in metal. The new form is retrofitted into the context while retaining some of its original features such as the roof shape, ornaments, patterns and poems, but all in a metal filigree form.
The arch on Wardour Street completed in 2016 is built in the form of ‘pailou’ in an actual scale. It is of unique Qing Dynasty design, built according to the standard of royal buildings. This arch is different from the three older metal gateways as it is more substantial and solid, giving a firm symbolisation of threshold into Chinatown, and naturally became a famous photo spot.

At first, the Kasturi Walk was just a passageway and it is called Jalan Hang Kasturi that sat between the central Market and the shop beside it. Vehicles and bicycles can access via the main road of Jalan Tun Tan Cheng Lock .
Due to Malaysia's tropical climate, the management team began to plant trees surrounding to provide shaded seating area from the hot and humid weather in malaysia.
With the influx of vendors also attracted a large number of tourists, so the covered walkway and arch were erected and a commercial street was formed, at which time vehicles were no longer allowed.
1980 With the development of the central Market, it became more prosperous. Shops on the ground floor began to open to the public, and naturally it became a pedestrian street

INTERNATIONAL GATEWAY CASE STUDY
PL. CHARLES DE GAULLE, PARIS, FRANCE A NEOCLASSICAL ARCHITECTURE ARCH GATEWAY
59
It was built to honor those unknown soldiers who fought and died for France during the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars. Also, important names were carved into the Archway to commemorate their sacrifices for their country. It is the symbol representative of France. Nowadays it is serving Paris a landmark as one of the hottest tourist spot.
60
The Arc de Triomphe sits in a superb location in Place Charles du Gaulle, the traffic circle encircling the triumphal arch and "known to Parisians as " I'etoile" or the star, a reference to the streets that fan out from it".
From the Arc twelve avenues radiate like spokes on a wheel and reach virtually every district in Paris. The main boulevard is the Champs-Elysees possibly the most famous street in the world and the main artery of Paris' Right Bank. This provides a grand axis on which is situated the Arc de Triomphe, Place de la Concorde, the Jardin des Tuileries, Place du Carrousel, and finally the Palais du Louvre. accessible from the Arc de Triomphe is the Trocadero and Tour Eiffel, the Grand and Petit Palaises, Place Vendome, the Madeleine, and the Pahis . In this way the Arc de Triomphe, while not in dead center of the city, is situated at the heart of Paris. Furthermore, the Arc bridges modern and ancient Paris because while the Champs-Elysees leads to centuries old building, squares, and palaces, the avenue opposite and " behind" the Arc de Triomphe creates an axis terminating in La Defense, Paris' modern financial district.
61
Late 19th Century
21st Century
The Arc de Triomphe is placed on the centre of Place Charles de Gaulle. The initial architect Jean Chalgrin pass on a year after which is 1811 and the work was taken over by Jean-Nicholas Huyot.
In late 2018, the Arc de Triomphe suffered acts of vandalism as part of the Yellow vests' movement protests.
During the fall of Napoleon, the construction was halted. The final cost reported at about 10,000,000 francs.
20th Century The sword carried by the Republic in the Marseillaise relief broke by fall from the arc on the day the Battle of Verdun began in 1916.
After 60 years of the making of a great public artwork, the archway was wrapped with 25000 sqm of recyclable fabric.
After victorious military operations and during the annual Bastille Day military parade, the Arc de Triomphe became a rallying place for French troops. By the early 1960s, the arc had covered by coal soot, and cleaned during 1965-1966 by bleaching. In 1995, the Armed Islamic Group of Algeria placed a bomb wounded 17 people.
62
At the base of the Arch de Triomphe stands a torch. Every evening at 6:30 P.M. it is rekindled, and veterans lay wreaths decorated with red, white and blue near its flickering flame. It burns in the darkness to recall the sacrifice of an unknown French soldier who gave his life during World War I.
Throughout the day, tourists from around the world fills out the area spending their time admiring and taking photos, roaming around the magnificent, iconic and what is considered the largest archway in the world. Tourist activities like tour buses, and so on will take place at the side. Sport activities often choose to take place at the site including marathon, cycling and so on.
63
There is nothing structurally innovative in the design and did not employ any construction technique. The inspiration for this arch was the Arch of Titus, coed instructed in Rome is 81 AD. It is the best existing example of a victory arch. Arch of Titus.
The design of the arc is based on the Roman Forum and is an example of Neoclassical architecture The design was modernized by adding archways on each side and hollowing out the pillars to allow people to climb to the top.
The Arc de Triomphe is the world’s largest triumphal arch. Architect Jean François 64
A triumphal arch is a free-standing monument in the shape of an archway with one or more arched pathways, usually intended to bridge a road. A triumphal arch is made up of two huge piers joined by an arch and topped with a flat entablature or attic on which a statue or commemorative inscriptions can be set. Carvings, sculpted reliefs, and dedications are frequently seen on the main structure. Multiple archways may be present in more complex triumphal arches. In 1806 Jean Chalgrin designed the Arc de Triomphe. It set the tone for triumphal nationalistic statements on public monuments. The Arc de Triomphe is 50 meters (164 feet) tall, 45 meters (148 feet) broad, and 22 meters (72 feet) deep, with a massive vault that is 29.19 meters (95.8 feet) high and 14.62 meters (48.0 feet) wide and was inspired by the Arch of Titus in Rome, Italy. The smaller transverse vaults are 18.68 meters tall (61.3 feet) and 8.44 meters wide (27.7 feet).
65
The Arc de Triomphe is an iconic symbol of French national identity and took 30 years to build...Napoleon I commissioned the triumphal arch in 1806—after his great victory at the Battle of Austerlitz (1805)—to celebrate the military achievements of the French armies.
Napoleon, I commissioned the commemorative arch in 1806, two years after he declared himself “Emperor of the French” at Notre-Dame Cathedral. Prior to his crowning, he played an active part in France's political and military affairs. After the success of the French Revolution in 1799, he took control of France and waged an excessive number of wars that have come to be known as the Napoleonic Wars.

Brickfield's century ago, only had wooden houses with thatched roofs. In 1880, a fire and a flood had destroyed much of the settlement. Yap Ah Loy who was an enterprising businessman developed a huge brickyard transform into a gigantic clay field and produced the materials which were used to build early Malaysia. The British brought in Indian and Sri Lankan migrant workers to work in the area to aid in the Malayan Railway.
The original Little India used to be located along Jalan Tunku Abdul Rahman in central KL. In 2009, former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak announced that Little India would be moved to Brickfields – one of the oldest Indian settlements in Malaysian History. A total of RM35 million project was undertaken as the new proposed site; from Jalan Travers to Jalan Tun Sambanthan could house more cultural stores. The Torana Gate was later erected in 2015 as a gift from the Indian goverment.
The intricately carved Torana Gate, inspired by the Toranas of the great Buddhist sculpture of Sanchi, has carvings and relief work representing ancient Indian art as well as the Islamic art form Such detailing on an art form of this scale, involving the two disparate cultures, has not been done before.
73
The Torana Gate has been visualized to act as a symbolic gateway and a focal element along the axis of the main road leading to Little India, Brickfields in Kuala Lumpur. The Torana Gate relates with the surrounding roads as well as the pedestrian movement and conceived as a graceful structure, set amongst the landscaped piazza in an urban context.

Brandenburg gate is a neoclassical monument in Berlin. It was built in 1791 by Carl Gotthard Langhans on the site of a former city gate that marked the start of the road from Berlin to town of Brandenburg. Originally, the gate was an entrance that led to Emperor’s city palace. The Brandenburg Gate became infamous in the Cold War when it was the symbol for the division of Berlin and the rest of Germany.
The five passageways have a specific purpose, citizens were only allowed to use the outermost two passageways on each side
The middle gate is wider than the others which gives prominence and highlights the passage of important people such as royalty and visiting foreign diplomats. 82

Chinatown Archway represents the traditional culture of the Chinese nation, and the representative signs and colors make people recognize it as a symbol of the Chinese nation at a glance. The gateways in Chinatown are clear indicators of where the cultural territory of its inhabitants spread. Besides that, they provide a sense of place and belonging, which had been essential for the prospered neighborhood. The main entrance of the Chinatown gate in London brings a different meaning to the Chinatown district. It makes the street more significant and pouplar in terms of Chinese culture. The latest built gateway (main entrance) is also more represent the Chinese community compared to the 3 old steel gate of Chinatown London, it attracts more tourist and local to visit the street. A symbol of solidarity and a love letter to both the visitors and inhabitants of Chinatown, the gateway not only shows a great appreciation to both local and international cultures that seemingly melded together but rather mutual respect and appreciation that has grown between the people of Chinatown and the local populous.
The is located in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. With an area of 370m^2 and a length of 69 meters, it connects the Kampong Bharu and Kuala Lumpur city center. Although it is named after Saloma, a popular Malay- Singaporean artist in the 50s, the arrangement of the archway represents the Sirih Junjung/ betelnut. This is a flower that is commonly used in Malay weddings thus representing unity. The steel structure is a pedestrian and bicyclist bridge that runs across the Klang river and six lane Ampang KL elevated highway. The frame is welded with a repetition of solid diamond panels, glass and LED fixtures.

Landmarking a street with history and rich culture Petaling street archway functions as not only a hallmark of the street, but also as a reflection of the culture that lies within. An ode to the people who were and still are inhabiting and working there. Attracting people and making it as an icon for Petaling Street which easily remembered by the community and guest all over Malaysia and the world.
Through the study of Kasturi Walk, I learned a lot that the development of a region cannot be separated from the whole, and the development of the whole cannot be separated from the individual. Kasturi Walk is a good example. At the beginning, it was attached to the establishment of the Central Market. The development of the central market spawned the emergence of this street, which is a mutual influence relationship. The arch is the landmark building of this street. It can represent the entrance from one region to another, and also represent the development of the city's architecture. His design also represents the cultural symbol of Malaysia, so culture, economy, environment, humanity and architecture are inseparable and integrated
94
Learned that the Arc de Triomphe is a symbolic icon, because the arc celebrate the battles won for past generations such as the French Revolution and World War 2. It also commemorate those who gives their ultimate sacrifice in defense of France. The arc both celebrate victories and mourn for the lives lost. Connecting the feelings of French people to the memories, influence the live of people and a reminder of the hard fought.
As opposed to usual gateways which act as an entrance welcoming people to enter a certain area, the Torona Gate not only symbolises the significance of Little India, it also symbolises the bridge between different countries in a harmonious ways. It symbolises the mutual relationship between two different nations. This adds value to the Torona Gate to a certain level which also influences how people live with people from other regions. It creates a barrier of respect that everyone has towards other nations and people from different regions.
95
A central piece of Berlin, the Brandenburg gate once functioned as an entrance to the Emperor’s city palace, however, it now stands as a monumental structure that bore witness to the trifles and history of the city of Berlin. This in turn shows us that a gateway can indeed serve more than one designated function with it being able to transform.
The is a non-traditional archway with traditional construction methods and materials. The light on the surface transmits through the semi-open courtyard portraying Guan Yu’s bright spirit and a guiding light for those praying inside. The name originates from Guan Yu’s worship, who is the emperor of the Wusheng temple. With regards to the material, it is made entirely from bamboo constructed with a scaffolding method. Furthermore, the red paint on the bamboo symbolizes red tiles on traditional temple roofs which is further enhanced with different shades of red on each bamboo.

The building is directly facing the lake with a few little trees at a bit lower angle, the views might be better for all who have activities with the building. If you get to the community center by driving a car, then the open space parking lot is the only free way to get there. The roof height of the community center is quite high and outstanding for creating a larger space for activity.
The open parking area was far from the community center and the only parking area for vehicles so will have to walk to get there in a long distance. It is surrounded by various functioned areas and buildings, will not easily get disturbed by the conditions of the roads. Two main roads are surrounding the site area: Persiaran Oleander and Persiaran Freesia with two roundabouts, letting the vehicles move smoothly.

Within the center roof covered area is mostly directly contacted with the sunlight, the benches are exposed to sunlight due to the small trees.
The community center also benefits people with pets, consisting of pet shops, a pet's playground, and a pet waste disposal station.
120
The building is designed to face north to the lake. It is so that the activities can expand slowly towards the lake if needed.
The building is strategically placed along the east to west to reduce the exposure to direct sunlight that can cause unpleasant temperature.

DESIGN INTENTION
The façade of the building has geometric patterns all over it to reflect the shape of the roof and contributing to the design consistency of the overall façade.
The roof is lightcolored so that it reflects the heat.
The roof opening are also utilized in a way that allows vegetations to grow through the opening
The placement of greeneries around the center is to decrease heat from the sun, decreasing the overall temperature of the building, provide privacy and shade
122
Local Rec. Centre
DESIGN INTENTION
From the original design vision, this building has entrances from all the sides of it so that it makes it very inviting for people to enter. This is a very good idea especially for a community center. It could be interpreted as this resembles that people from everywhere around the community are welcome wholeheartedly from all directions without the walking restrain to find a typical main entrance.
These are the rooms separated for various events and activities to happen at the same time without interference. But the downside is that separation will reduce social interaction by separating into groups instead of uniting as recreational centers should be.
123
•
The Buzz. AR community center mostly consists of open spaces, having a flexible open space for all who use it for some creative activities
•
All the tenant lots have a minimum of two doors to have smooth circulation inside.
•
At the west side of the building consists of the swing area, open space, and sliding board for children.
•
There is no main entrance to this building, visitors can approach it from all directions, even from the footpaths along the lake across the field.
•
The toilet is located on the east side of the building with all the staff control rooms.
•
The East side of the center has an open space with a projector and massive white wall for some activities that need projection. This diagram showing the people movement in specific time.

This community center was designed to be the social gathering place at the center of a township. In terms of human interaction, this place can be used to act as a local gathering events for carnivals, festive celebrations, performances and so on. Since this is at a still-developing township, it would act as the connecting centerpiece of the surrounding communities encouraging engagements and connective interactions among the people.
There is a great integration between “furniture” and the building at the east side of the building as the swing is supported by the structure. It also serves as a direct interaction between human and the building. *This will be useful for the proposal at Jalan Alor as it lacks space.
The left side of the building features a large space for performances, and occasional movie screening.
People can gather to socialize at the center.
People can bring their pets for grooming as there is a pet shop at the right side of the building
There is also an area for swings and playground for children.
126
Local Rec. Centre
ISSUE FOUND Around the outside of the building, at the greenfield, the temperature can become unbearably unpleasant in the afternoon thus preventing people from utilizing the place at that period for events and activities.
SOLUTION The solution is to add vegetation shadings as shown in the picture on the right.
127
Provides spaces under a big continuous folding roof for events, performances, shops, relax and play. Provides indeterminate spaces with many details that invite different occupations and use. A gathering place for chance encounters, leisure and community engagements which are the pet playground and grooming center, cycling, picnic area, and cafe) for those who live in and around the neighborhood.

L45 library is a community library while sharing a student housing from both physical and social typology. It is built in such a way where public and private space is combined. The two co-exist in the same building but are independent of each other. Location : 45, Lorong Kurau, 59100 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Opening hours of L45 Kurau Community Library : Tue–Sun 3:00 PM–7:00 PM Area : 135 sqm Project Year : 2014-2015 Architect : Wong Wei Ping and Ong Shien Chii
150
151
Initially it was design as a student housing that was replicating the client experience as a student in London, many years ago and to encourage a sense of community among students of different backgrounds.
Wong Wei Ping and Ong Shien Chii was exploring the brief and proposed a community library to the owner.
Owner agreed to it. While the front half original portion is kept, they demolished the back half portion, and built a new extension following the profile of the original front half.
In 2015, the project was finished. The original 2 storeys is modified to become a 2storeys + 2 mezzanines, creating 8 rooms with ensuite bath and a sizable public library under one roof.
152
In the hollowed-out public corner on the two floors, the entire reading space extends to the outdoor garden after the glass window is opened.
The community library can house up to 35,000 books which is quiteacsizable community library for the surrounding neighbourhood area. The vertical void library concept has 3 flights of stairs, effectively leading to 4 different platforms that have varieties of spatial and volume feel.
The metal grill allowed transparency to encourage communication between the public and private space and the daylight to lit up the corridor spaces.
153
INTERIOR
OF L45
L45 has a distinctive sitting at the junction of the main access leading to the Taman Weng Lock neighbourhood. But the presence is rather prominent despite its colourless presence
The rooms are constructed in heavy concrete and white blocks that projects solidity and privacy, while the lightness of the steel structure of the library portrays lightness of knowledge.
Wood elements in the communal living room provide a touch of warmth to L45. The finishing of the new materials are kept to a bare minimum; aerated light cement block, white calcium silicate brick and concrete walls are left untreated Combining the three building materials of wood, iron mesh and cement, it presents a matching tone

Humid and hot weather This building is surrounded by a whole residential area.
The site is very constrained, measuring just 25 by 28 meters and bound on , the main street of Surry Hills, to the east, and two residential streets to the south and west. The utilization of the massive glass design also improves the relationship between this around it. This site is a convenience that is surrounded by various restaurants . The three bus stops on Crown Street are accessible by bus 304 and 352.
171
The shop houses next to the center are all Victorian.
The modern looking Surry Hills Recreational Centre in relation to its historical neighborhood.
This building exterior design was intended to look monumental and outstanding compared to its historical neighborhood filled with Victorian houses. Apart from that, main goal for the exterior design is to also represent the community of Surry Hills, its diversity and so on.
172
The center is designed by and for the community and it resulted in a mixed-use recreational center as a library, childcare center and a community center to emphasize that it is shared by all in Surry Hills.
By mixing so many use case into one building is to emphasize the core idea which is that the community center stand by only one thing, the community itself which it is to be equally shared by all the people around Surry Hills and represent the ethics or culture of the community.
ON-DIAGRAM EXPLAINATIONS The transparent glass windows to represent the welcoming, opening and transparency of the people there.
At night, this side of the building will look like a dollhouse as it shows all the levels and activities happening inside thus it will seem welcoming to passers by to enter.
This public space expanded from side of the community center that once was part of a public road called Collins Street but is now separated by the new space to emphasize or reassert that the building is built as a public used facility.
173
A new open space and platform, a prismatic glass environmental atrium, a suspended 'U' shaped timber structure, and a transitional foyer space developed as four interconnected formal components. Collins Street was closed and turned into a small public park with an elevated grass platform on the southern end that increased the building's functionality. The series of glass prisms create an open and transparent facade, like an open dollhouse, and approach the new open space so that all the different activities of the center are visible and exposed, encouraging participation.
174
This building has combined 3 functions into one which consists of a library, a community center, and a childcare center. It has four floors with a lower ground floor.
LG & G The ground floor and the lower ground floor mostly consist of the library. These two levels relate to a spiral staircase.
L1 & L2 The community center will be located on the level one and it can be accessed by the staircase located at the shared entry lobby. Level two will be mainly for the childcare center and can also be accessed from the ground floor by the elevator. The elevator can only access the ground floor and the second floor.

Usage of ventilation system that pulls in air to the underground so that during winter it can heat up the outdoor air while cool down the air during summer.
The innovative use of machinery by using timber for automatic louvre to take control of the view and the lighting from outside the building which it shades the sunlight when needed allowing a pleasantly controlled atmosphere in the interior in terms of lighting.
The center has a green roof. Green roof can be beneficial to the environment as it purifies the air, reduces heat and it can be used for an attempt to replace the nature that the site once was before any human intervention was done.
The finishes used on the materials are low VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) as it reduces harm to the environment. An innovative use of rainwater collection to be used in areas like the toilet and the watering of plants around the area.

Serving the role of community center, The Arc in Rimbayu portrays the idea of a multi-use space with it housing a multitude of programs under the guise of "Recreational Center". The space is one that provides shelter to the community social and recreational activities along with their amenities.
From the Analysis and the study on the Local Recreational Center, the Buzz.AR, it was clear that the functionality and purpose of a REC center will differ from region in accordance to its climate and also the culture of said region. For the case of Buzz.Ar, it is designed as a functional REC center that provides space for both leisure and commercial activities, which in turn both attracts people to constantly use this space as a social gathering space and also for commercial activities. The wide open spaces available in this building provides a perfect space that blends the cultural elements which in turn brings the community together during festive events.
227
is an arts center for visual arts, exhibitions, performances, workshops and more, located in Lorong Ampang, Kuala Lumpur. Architect Ling hao enclosed the building with steel cladding and some openings for efficient natural lighting and ventilation. The brick annexe within the site with timber floor finishing has gone through several functional uses throughout the years. It began with warehouse usages, then transitioned to a club setting before it was an arts center with transparent acrylic inserts for natural lighting. The workshop is semi-private while the hall and rooftop are public spaces.
L45 is a community library, It was designed as a 'Public-Student social experiment' and created to unite and bring together the residents in it's district and beyond. Through the use of a sustainable and maintainable library, people can come to relax, read, and study and also donate their own favorite books. The building provides space for 2 main functions and is also sufficient enough for them to coincide. The fencing around the building is inviting and encourages people to stop and take a look at the unique form of L45. Not only through the materiality, but together with the form helps L45 to stand out with character, whilst fitting into the same scale and size as other residential buildings nearby. The wire mesh which make up the spaces for the library are the main feature in L45, it provides a welcoming environment, shelves books, and provides transparency in acoustics and visuals.
228
The Surry Hills Community Centre are a rec center mainly built for social center, daycare center and also public library which make it fulfill the factors that made this building a good rec center. The Façade which uses a flap window let sunlights in which gives them enough natural lightings.
A communal recreational center, Gleneagles was a great study in the integration of a multitude of programs such as workshop spaces and sports while maintaining an inviting atmosphere for the recreation and betterment of the community.
229
is a children’s rec center in Beijing, China. With a 2657m^2 area, the space provides a public play area for children to explore their comfort levels and semi-private interior spaces for parents to observe their children while enjoying a rooftop bar. The architects have used several principles of Feng Shui within the design such as rectangular floor plans for the interior, lack of sharp corners and large windows. Floor leveling has been carefully thought out resulting in several humps on rubber flooring for the purpose of the enjoyment of children. The large windows as previously mentioned aid in efficient ventilation and natural lighting within the spaces. Furthermore, the use of materials is also well thought out from the structural integrity and safety of children of rubber floors, high fences and metal standing seams to the facade of layered bricks as the walls.
Recreational centres especially our precedent, shows how they can act not only as a good sports facility, but also to be a gathering hub for cultural or communal events/ activities. Herstedlund Community Centre can be said as a "All in One" structure that really serves multipurpose and function for the residence community around. The form exploration done by the architects shows that the building can accommodate many different activities, such as barbeque, basketball, performance, eating, relaxing and rock climbing in quite a small area without needing to expand much. Walls are also utilised for meaningful outdoor activities. It is a beautiful blend of form and function. A stepping stone and gathering place to what has become a 600 family community. A gathering place, one that allows for not only recreation within the community but rather growth and connection as a whole. A form of architecture that serves to not only entertain but also aids in the development of deeper connections.
