URBAN AGRICULTURE.CO
01. INTRODUCTION
THE PROJECT
THE OBJECTIVES
Urban Farming + Kitchen Garden Urban farming is defined as the production and cultivation of fruits and vegetables, and would then distribute to kitchen garden for the purpose of selling. The operation of Urban Agriculture Co. is operated in a non-profit social enterprise model. The client's vision for Urban Agriculture Co. includes a vibrant, accessible and mixed use urban agriculture and kitchen garden that enhances the local economy by creating green jobs including food retail, distribution and growing, build skills for the social neglects and form a direct food supply chain in the city. Urban Agriculture Co. has entered into a partnership with the lnstitut Penyelidikan Dan Kemajuan Pertanian Malaysia (MARDI) to develop an advance guidance of sustainability in agricultural and food systems, and also supported by several goals of the River of Life Development plan; such as increasing the livability, sustainability and competency of the city.
3. Natural landscape Establish more natural areas that would blends in between indoor and outdoor. Promoting a natural environment. 4. Solid Waste Develop composting programs that would maintain cleanliness of the building. 5. Water Conserve water supplies by developing a water reuse strategy: Rain Water Harvesting system, education programs to educate water use to the workers. 6. Circulation The connection from the utility space to the working space need to be connected in a short proximity. 7. Training for communities Provide training for communities and individuals interested in establishing urban farming projects.
Since food is grown primarily to enhance the local green job, building skills and increasing the livability of place; the building should consist of 45% of urban farming which includes workshop, laboratory and farming area, 40% of kitchen garden that includes eateries area and outdoor leisure related space, and 15% of office spaces that includes temporary residency and monitor room.

2.0 SITE ANALYSIS SITE RESPOND
SWOT ANALYSIS
JALAN HANG KASTURI, CITY CENTRE
STRENGTHS
Situated in the heart of cetral Kuala Lumpur, Jalan Hang kasturi is a historic core area that is surrounded by traditional shophouses and the evocative art deco central market that is now an accommodation to sell Malaysian arts and crafts nowadays. The effect of urban renewal in the Jalan Hang Kasturi has created many vacant hardscapes and buildings. While there are more exciting developments in progress, the underutilized surface and vacant space will be around for quite some time. Particularly the vacant space in our proposed site, it is located at a strategic location in convergence of four main destinations, the Klang river, Kasturi Walk, Central Market and site frontage. The size of the site is approximately 4500sqm. The strategic position of the proposed site has create a strong focal point of 3 roads coming from different direction, creating a strong pedestrian network in Jalan Hang Kasturi. The proposed building aims to capitalize on this existing connection to form a stronger network of community.
1. A direct to consumer program whereby the public deals directly with the farmer, immediately obtain the farm's produce in a short amount of time. 2. Innovative activities that are educational on natural farming and meet the increasing 'demand of nature' as one of the solution to beautify the city, in aligned with the River Of Life Project. 3. Potentially a dynamic and flexible site with good commercial value due to the strategic position that is surrounded by a lot of office site and also being in one of the tourist zone. 4. Creating a new market opportunity that response to the characteristic of the proposed site, a walking food trail.
OPPORTUNITY 1. The proposed site is surrounded by transportation line such as bus station and LRT platform, hence increasing business opportunity. 2. The existence of river could be used as a potential alternative sustainable energy. 3. There is a high demand for food and transportation as the city center consists of an assemblage of different districts who are interdependent on each other, such as finance, administration, heritage and institutional district. 4. In the future, there will be more development near our site. For example, the new underground MRT station, River of Life Project and the office hotel Tower. These development would further contribute the economic value of the proposed programs.

PESLE ANALYSIS
WEAKNESS
Political
Legal
1. There is a no working demonstration sites to show similar programs for urban agriculture. 2. Lack of infrastructure that is specifically for post harvesting handling and storage. 3. The site is surrounded by chaotic and spontaneous developments. Environmental degradation and public hygienic conditions are a serious concern that would influence the quality of urban farm.
The client CASSA has entered a partnership with the lnstitut Penyelidikan Dan Kemajuan Pertanian Malaysia (MARDI) that aims to transform the vacant lots in Jalan Hang Kasturi into urban farming, demonstrating a new way to drive entrepreneurship and tourism. The Initiative of this project is also aligned with the ongoing project 'The River of Life', developing a collaborative systems that respects and supports the existing project.
Due to the existence of Islamic population in Jalan Hang Kasturi, the building and programs are given restriction such as non-halal food and activities will be prohibited in the urban agriculture.
THREATS
Economy
1. The LRT station become a source for noise pollution in the future. It has also disconnected between the proposed site and the river. 2. The agriculture programs might create food borne parasitic caused by poor hygiene in an urban area. 3. Urban Agriculture might be affected by human intruders such as vandals, thieves and other forms of irresponsible social behavior. 4. The proposed site is surrounded by 3 roads coming from different direction, hence creating traffic congestion.
Jalan Hang Kasturi is surrounded by different districts such as finance, heritage, administration and institutional districts. By creating an Urban Agriculture that serve all stages of food chain from farming to eating, it has generate a supply and demand relationship that would produce local food with low price value to the community. On the other hand, urban agriculture has created a new working opportunity to the social neglects and balance the economy.
Social Jalan Hang Kasturi is mostly dominates by the local community who works hard during the daytime; however when night falls, it will be transformed into a hidden domain for social neglects to dwell in. Hence, the proposed project seeks this as an opportunity to find a balance between two extremities group, allowing them to co-exist on the same platform.
Technology Urban agriculture takes a tremendous amount of water. Hence, adapting new innovation and technology such as building integrated farming could play an important role to develop a sustainable urban development that have a positive impact on the climate.
Environmental The project River of Life is being conducted along the whole stretch along Klang River, which is also happening along the proposed site. This master planning and beautification work will spur the river into a significant landmark, along with the proposed building. As a part of the River of Life ambition, the building should also maintain the cleanliness of the site to respond to the project.
3.0 PROJECT VIABILITY Project Objectives 1. Transform underutilized vacant land into an urban greenery. 2. Broaden the local economy 3. Contribute local food production 4. Demonstrate leadership in sustainability
Project Goals 1. Short term: Replace the vacant land into a healthier food courts and beautify the city. Build the relationships between the local markets and the urban agriculture 2. Long Term: Develop a sustainable urban development. Building of local food reputation in the city.

Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM)
Education, health and governmental institutions: Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) IWRM is launched by ASEAN to established a Water Resources Management (AWGWRM) to enhance regional cooperation on freshwater in the ASEAN region. In order to apply water pollution management on the Klang River, the Urban Agriculture Co. is carefully monitor and consult regularly in order to maintain a clean environment.
Project success criteria are the standards by which the project will be judged at the end to decide whether or not the project has been done successful in the eyes of the client. Cost, quality and time are the three basic measurable success criteria used to indicate the key performance of a project.
COST The costing of the project includes pre-construction, construction phase and also imposed cost of building operation once it is completed. The project is funded by Malaysian Journal of Sustainable Agriculture (MJSA), and would be given the budget of RM ?million to develop the project. Urban Agriculture requires tremendous amount of sources such as the reliable water source and natural lighting in order for food to grow. In order to minimize the input to caters with these resources in a long term basics, the building should integrate with green technology system such as rainwater harvesting system and solar panels. The building should also maintain openness to provide sufficient natural ventilation and natural day lighting in order to save the operation cost.
QUALITY The urban cities might encounter challenges, including air and water quality issues. All these challenges could have become a threats to degrade the quality of the crops and food. In order to plan for a healthier food production, the harvested storm water is advised to filter before using it in drip irrigation. Malaysian Journal of Sustainable Agriculture (MJSA) should also conduct a timely checkout for soil testing and -

URBAN AGRICULTURE.CO LAYOUT evaluate the contaminant level in the urban soil. It is also a recommendation to invite Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) to support the stakeholder group to further investigate planning and policy regarding the quality control among urban agriculture.
The shape of the building is formed by two type of geometry; the long stretches of rectangular shape that is mainly use for space that requires certain privacy (hydroponic garden lab, offices, private farming area); and the circular layout that intersects and connects the single stretches.
The circular core acts as a catalyst to provide and enhance accessibility from different potential and existing access corridors from the outside to the building, and eventually leads to the same destination. While reinforcing entrance statement to attract more in-coming visitors, these circular cores are used as the social space that caters for activity such as: public farm, the market place and the garden.
TIME The duration of the project should be completed within 24months starting from 3th of July 2017 until 28th of June 2019 as per request by the client. Hence, the project should be carried out according to the planned timeframe in Gantt Chart to ensure minimal delay. Based on the Gantt Chart, about 6 months will be used for design and approval phase while 18months without any delay will be the construction and completion phase. Besides that, Gantt Chart and risk analysis are identified in the early planning phase as the guideline for better flow of the project and clearer work structure.

Circular cores as focal point
The intersection part is where the social space emerges (the kitchen garden, public farm, market). The intersection between two different geometry has create a unique quality of space that gives an illusion of being in one space, yet belonging to many places, ties together the diametric opposites to coexist in harmony.
CIRCULATION There are several openings to direct people into the building core: 1. River of Life 2. Main Road 3. Central Market 4. Kasturi Walk 5. Building Core
Exit point from ramp
A 3-6M wide circular ramp was design as the main loop circulation to connect Ground floor to different levels. These gentle incline slope is basically used as a vegetation farm that allows visitor to pick the vegetation they want, when coming down from the ramp, cashier is located at the edge to avoid smuggling. Within every 15m to 21m interval along the ramp, there will be several exit points to divert the visitors to the observation deck, providing view out overlooking through the surrounding context.

SLENDER COMPONENTS Slender structural component is being used throughout the whole building in order to maintain minimal intervention between inside out. The application of lightweight material throughout the building has create an architectural expression that evolves the relationship between climate and building. The volume have carefully designed opening, through which light, wind or rain could enter into the building. These openings allows rain and light to reach the plantation exist in the interior space, and hence, a building inside which you feel being outside.
PROGRAMME RELATIONSHIP In order to develop an effective urban agriculture programs at the city demand level, the Urban Agriculture.co is divided into three level of intimacy: the Community area that overlook the commercial business activities, the private spaces that secure and manage effective of food production, and the recreational garden that balance the public and private space. 1.Commercial

Rather than existing in the binary opposites, the public and private spaces are operate at a variety scale that overlap and intersect with each other. The social space that comes in between would then create a phenomena that gradually expand and blends the private and public space into each other. This is where economic and recreational activity comes in a balance and unify the community.
