Academic Projects Pudu Public Library - Site Analysis

Pudu has experienced a slower pace of development compared to its neighboring commercial districts; making it an aginTg community with more of a old buildings occupied by long established small businesses and a few dying trades and less of a place thriving with community activities like once it used to be. Throughout a century of development in Kuala Lumpur, Pudu was never a key area of development even though it has always guarding behind the Kuala Lumpur by supplying goods and services to the city centre. Free access to information is crucial to elevate a society from ignorance; hence, the design thesis proposes a public library in central Pudu which is located beside Pudu wet market as a solution to counter the highly commercialized developments around Pudu area by providing a public space for its community.
