Development of Theme 02

Focusing on the aim and objective for the project , which leads to the development of the concept .

River of life as a connective space between human civilization and mother nature as to achieve a productive, sustainable and livable places.

OBJECTIVE

• To achieve a good thoroughfare (roadway / promenade / street walk) by redesigning the space planning

PEOPLE [LIVEABILITY]

Create the context for people to engage each other

• To build a great connection between building /physical structure / public space / river occupants to the nature

• To rearrange the urban city planning @ public space / focus :adaptation to the new norm (Pandemic covid-19) in term of designing space ( packed living in space will no longer suit us)

• To solve the poor drainage system & river maintenance which lead to flooding

Comfortable

Welcoming + No Pollution

Vibrant : See other people around + interact

Safe : Secure +safe path

Walkable : easy get around by foot , bicycle and wheelchair

Good Health And Well Being

Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages

Clean Water And Sanitation

Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all

PLACE [PRODUCTIVITY+ SUSTAINABILITY]

People to engage with place

WATER [SYSTEMATIC]

People to engage with river

Enhancing: Opportunities for local people

Connected : Transport option and walkway connected

Diverse : meets different people needs

Enduring : Resilient upon extreme weather

You can simply impress your audience and add a unique zing and appeal to your Presentations.

Absorbing: absorbing and filtering storm water

You can simply impress your audience and add a unique zing and appeal to your Presentations.

Coordinated : Green infrastructure coordinated systematically long the river

Main Issue

Water Pollution

Flood

Loss of biodiversity and character of place

Easily Access

A comprehensive network of buses, taxis, monorail, light rail transit and commuter trains that provide convenient and quick access to various parts of this city and its surrounding.

Positive Character

Potential Riverfront

Space for local community. As RoL is easily accessed, it could a lso be the ma in attraction for the in the city. Many types activities can be introduced to develop Rol as one of the best recreational and public space for local community. Activities can develop to liven up the space.

Strategic Location

RoL (River of life) runs through the town (Kuala Lumpur) to Port Klang (west). Surrounded with diverse area such as commercial & residential. Area & spaces are mostly occupied with office workers & employee of the government.

Development of Concept 03

Focusing on the conceptual development.

THE CONNECTIVE CORRIDOR

The city is a landscape. The space between river + buildings is the connective corridor that binds us (people) together. 01 02 03

Programmer

The river of life is the fabric that defines a city. It is the most equitable form of engagement, a place where people have the opportunity to interact with each other, whether economically challenged or privileged. This river of life is low hanging fruit-least expensive means to positively inform the greatest number of people.

THE ISSUE AND POTENTIAL

-Unwelcoming environment for pedestrian

-no proper taxi stand for people

-slow traffic flow : not a proper design of road network

-Over shadow due to lack of interaction & connection

-lack character, identity and comfort (shade, seating, plants)

-barriers to pedestrian movement

1. CENTRAL MARKET PARKING LOT

Elevated festival park sharing with the podium to facilitate alternative drainage system to overcome flood

2. DAYABUMI WALKWAY BRIDGE

Elevated festival park with connected to the walkway bridge

ISSUES IDEA / POTENTIAL / CHALLENGES

-Abandoned & shady space

-Bushes grows wildly & not been cleared

-Pedestrian walk isolated and unsafe

Green Space + Enhance the pedestrian walkway that connect to the Tun Sambathan

LRT station

-area suitable for recreational area but not attractive enough -Created but not used

-Lack of aesthetic value

To provide a cheering living space around the boring development area at the site

3. PASAR SENI BUS HUB

4. KAMPUNG ATTAP (NEARBY AREA)

ISSUES IDEA / POTENTIAL / CHALLENGES

-

Vandalism

- Surrounding area not well maintained (littering)

- Graffiti : are not making the area look lively

- Less aesthetic landscape

New development for the parking space into a river park space

5. KTMB CAR PARK

ISSUES IDEA / POTENTIAL / CHALLENGES

- Bushes grows wildly & not been cleared

-An unwelcoming environment

-lack functional space that can benefit the surrounding

Riverfront ramp

6. TM BRICKFIELD (NEARBY)

-

ISSUES IDEA / POTENTIAL / CHALLENGES

LOT

-Safety problems in relation to traffic and in areas that are poorly lit or badly maintained

Elevated festival park sharing with the podium to facilitate alternative drainage system to overcome flood

7. TM BUKIT PETALING (FOREST) - shady and unattractive

Landscape plantings too big

- Lack organised space

Plant more vegetation at the riverside to improve the water quality

8. JALAN TEBING PARKING

ISSUES IDEA / POTENTIAL / CHALLENGES

BRICKFIELD

-lack of functional space that can benefit the surrounding

-Lack of aesthetic landscape

-An unwelcoming environment

-Shady and unattractive

-barriers to pedestrian movement

Create connectivity among housing, park, school –opportunity use the river as linear park between it.

COMMUNITY INFRASTRUCURAL

• Reflect the identity and image of the ROL to promote and educate the community understand more about nature while increasing the economy of the place

• Improving the quality of life and allows the community to interact and share the flow of the nature, culture & landscape of the river.

PUBLIC SPACE

Public ground to work as a sponge to reduce flash flooding in dense inner-urban areas.

Linear form and its sunken configuration

Green infrastructure can help reduce flooding and water pollution by absorbing and filtering storm water. It simultaneously provides a natural relief to the built environment, improves the street aesthetic, and delivers benefits to the community.

Permeable grounds restore the natural water cycle, allowing humidity exchange between air and the soil +reducing heat at daylight and creating a more comfortable habitat.

Programmer

Green infrastructure must be carefully avoid conflicts with utility placement, high water table levels, and subterranean ordinated to conditions such as the location of bedrock. Considering the soil conditions is critical when planning green infrastructure strategies.

Swales carry water like pipes and are designed as shallow, open, planted channels to convey runoff and remove pollutants. They are an alternative to a piped drainage system where space and grade is available. Water moves horizontally along the surface or in subsurface layers. Swales slow water flow and trap sediments to improve the water quality.

Rain gardens have a special soil filter media that can remove pollutants from road runoff. Configure plant and soil filtration systems as garden beds or street tree pits such that they are designed to treat storm water runoff. Rain gardens are also called bio retention systems, flat bio swales, flow-through planters, or pervious strips. Some are designed to allow water to infiltrate underlying soils while others are designed to collect the treated water and convey the clean water downstream.

Permeable paving allows rainfall to move through the pavement to the soil beneath and provide water to landscape areas nearby. Alternate surfaces with permeable pavement to reduce storm water runoff and recharge the water table. These may be in the form of block pavers with infiltration gaps between pavers, or porous material with infiltration gaps within the material.

The Section of Community Park

Along the river , provided some functional such as

URBAN FARMING + BIOSWALE +

TERRACE FARMING + RAIN GARDEN

The Section of River Café and Staged Area

Along the river , we proposing some staged area for the community engage with nature

The Section of Elevated Bridge

Along the river , we proposed few elevated bridge for an easy access to across the river on other side
