Project Objective

ABSTRACT With the theme â&#x20AC;&#x2DC; Sustaining Humanities â&#x20AC;&#x2122; - architecture for people, place and time, one key aspect of the design project is to develop holistic and integrated aspects of technology, environment and cultural context in architectural design. Subsequent to Phase 2 : Design Strategy and Schematic Design Phase , it is required to further develop a design scheme, incorporating environmental strategies and technological solutions. The intention of integrating the environmental and technological aspect is to strengthen the design on the aspect of sustainability and buildability. Other than that, it is also important to include green and sustainability component, such as passive cooling techniques and technological innovations in the design. This architectural design project given was to design a cultural , art and performance training centre for the community of Titiwangsa Lake Gardens, in hope to reinvigorate and developing awareness in the mediation between socio-cultural needs.

INTRODUCTION Sustaining humanities is about designing an architecture for people, place and time, whereas it act act as a catalyst in making a place civilised by making a community more liveable. As for humanities, the studies of human culture, where subjects such as literature, philosophy and history are taken into consideration , ensuring that the culture of a certain location is respected and included in the architecture itself. With the 4 given sites, we are required to design a building based on one selected site, with a given function and building typology required based on each site respectively. To express the design, synthesise issues relation to programme, user, site and other regulatory requirements shall be explored, in conjunction with the buildability, sustainability, feasibility and other relevant considerations in order to produce a richer design. With the given brief, the building designed must not be bigger than 2000 sqm, and not lesser than 1800 sqm, a minimum height restrictions of 3 levels and a maximum height restrictions of 5 levels , and to include covered circulation spaces. On the other hand, as this is a design project, the basement parking shall not be included in the floor area and level requirements. With the given programme, an art and performance training centre, I proposed to design a cultural art and performance centre, named CAPCOE â&#x20AC;&#x2DC; Cultural Art and Performance Centre of the Eastâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

PROJECT AIMS With the proposed programme, CAPCOEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s visualisation is creating and designing a new cultural and art centre, where it act as a training centre for the local community. It will also be a place where residents and communities are encourages to engage with each other. This project aims to bridge the cultural gap between East and West Malaysia through the art of dance. It is extremely important to bring people together as it can help to create acknowledgement of the diverse cultural identity we have in Malaysia to the visitors, local community and tourists. Meanwhile, with the presence of CAPCOE, it can actually help to preserve the diverse culture by acting as an educational platform for youngsters, tourists and students.

SITE SIGNIFICANT ISSUES

ILLEGAL PARKING Vehicles park illegally on the 1-way 2-lane road in front of the site disrupting the vehicular circulation causing traffic to rise

INCONVENIENT ROUTE As it is a 1-way road, there is a chance where drivers will miss the entrance for the selected site. As a result, the drivers will have to take a huge turn to get back to the site again, which are very inconvenient for the drivers

URBAN STUDIES RESIDENTIAL ZONES

LOCAL & FOREIGN

Residential zones accumulated together North of the lake.

Landmarks in the area are frequently visited by locals and foreign visitors

INSTITUTIONAL AREA

COMMUNITY HOTSPOT Park is large and equipped with various activities while being strategically located near other buildings, attracting visitors and residents

Institutional area located South of the lake with the significant cultural buildings in the centre forming a cultural hub within the zone

CULTURALLY SIGNIFICANT It showcases the ‘ Malaysian Culture ’

DISTRICT

LANDMARK

MINER’S INHABITATION Unplanned residential development and infrastructure was caused by the inhabitation of former tin miners residing near the site

BUFFER ZONE RESIDENTIAL AREA

Taman Tasik Titiwangsa acts as a buffer zone to seperate both the residential and instatetional districts while allowing them to carry out their respective functions

INSTITUTIONAL AREA

NATURAL EDGE

LAKE’S PROMINENCE

EDGE ( HARD EDGE )

Institutional buildings were built due to prominence of lake attracting tourists and visitors

Lake park forms a natural edge and buffer zone, accommodating green, recreational activities and urban sprawl EDGE ( NATURAL EDGE )

URBAN STUDIES HIGH RATE OF ACTIVITY The bicycle rentals and mamak restaurant in the park are nodal points with high rate of activity, amplifying the park culture by suppling visitors with more activities and necessities

Food Vendors Morning and Evening

The business ( Mamak and activities ) in the area compliments the park due to existing park conditions that are suitable, hence producing nodes.

CLOSER PROXIMITY Higher concentration of nodal points in educational area showing presence of students transitioning around. Bicycle Rental Evening ( Weekday) Morning and Evening ( Weekday )

Astaka Morning and Evening

With closer proximity to the cultural buildings, they are more exposed to the Malaysian culture showcased through the architecture. Students also visit the park which is near to out site, making them an important potential visitor group

PRECEDENT STUDIES TOPOGRAPHY FOR COLLABORATION Interior topography encourages interaction and collaboration between students , visiting professionals to make physical and visual connection to the larger campus. Open spaces that connects the campus to the east with the park landscape to the west, and providing distinct landscape settings that complement the academic and performance spaces.

DYNAMIC SPACES FOR PERFORMANCE The building architectural form is defined by the iconic volumes that punctuate the horizontal circulation datum and house the primary performance spaces.

SUSTAINABILITY : INTEGRATED APPROACH Sloped forms route rainwater across the expanse of the buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s roof, combining with landscape elements to route stormwater to planters. Non-performance areas such as lobbies and classrooms are naturally ventilated with program elements organised to enable exterior cross ventilation.

PRECEDENT STUDIES

The building lifts overhang creates an expansive entry, where the students, faculty, theatregoers and the community are able ro reinforce a sense of connection through the layered public, performance and academic spaces. The Mashouf Performing Arts Centre is designed to linked five series of performances spaces through transparent hallways and classrooms. With the continuous horizontal layer as well as the usage of formal and informal spaces, the culture of college is created

CULTURAL CENTRE A hybrids between museum, gallery, market — with culture and trading The building acts as a social catalyst for cultural exchange and imagines a home for the arts in a broader sense

MUSEUM The surrounding matrix of smaller, interconnected rooms of the architectural pixels accommodates support functions and liberates the buildings central halls from secondary obligations. The project navigates between the neutral and the specific, combining aspects of both by providing large scale spaces that are flexible and convertible; where more intimate spaces for specific functions are interconnected.

HISTORY AND MODERNITY The design inscribes the building into its surrounding context, in a sensitive architectural interpretation that fuses history and tradition with contemporary vision. The ‘ pixelated’ volumes of the lower portion of the building subtly refer to the adjacent historic urban fabric, echoing the grain, colour and intricate scale of Beijing’s hutongs.

PROJECT BRIEF

Titiwangsa Lake is a recreation park located in the middle of the hustle and bustle city, with large lake as the main attraction. It is considered as a cultural haven where cultural buildings such as Istana Budaya, Balai Seni Lukis and National Library sits. Despite being one of the main cultural centre in Malaysia, Istana Budaya is lacking of East Malaysiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cultural presentation and acknowledgement over at West Malaysia . Therefore, East and West Malaysia is not only separated physically, it is also separated by a form of cultural gap. For this project, an Art and Performance Training Centre for Taman Titiwangsa is proposed for Site C, namely â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Cultural Art and Performance Centre of the Eastâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; (CAPCOE) , the intention is to bridge the East and West Malaysia through performing arts of East Malaysia dances which is a prominent culture as their form of celebration. While spreading the positive vibe of celebration, dancing will also bring people together and create acknowledgement of the diverse cultural identity of Malaysia to the visitors, local community and tourists. The programmes designated for the cultural centre consist of a historical gallery, an exhibition gallery, East Malaysia Food Cafe, a costume rental shop as well as an celebration ground which uses the backdrop of the Titiwangsa Lake. One of the most special space will be the themed studio theatre, where the studio theatre will be designed based on the original state of the Indigenous group in East Malaysia. With the presence of CAPCOE, it helps to preserve the diverse culture we have in Malaysia through educating the youngsters, students as well as tourists, enable them to understand the culture and rich diversity of East Malaysia, and ultimately acknowledge the unity within the diverse culture as a whole in the nation.

COSTUME SHOP / HELP CENTRE Costume rental place providing all sorts of costume from different ethnic group and dance practices. Help centre is placed here to decrease the sense of formality while increasing the sense of community

ROOFTOP CAFE The rooftop garden provides a different viewpoint towards the lake and garden view, where it allows people to observe one another in action, turning the building into an urban theatre.

NGAJAT STUDIO Ngajat dance is a traditional dance for the Ibans. As the dance is percussion oriented, sound absorbent panels are installed on the walls to avoid noise transmitting to other room while practice was commencing

REJANG BEUH STUDIO Rejang Beuh dance is one of the traditional dance for the Bidayuh’s. The dance normally took place in a spacious room as the dancers are required to imitate movements of eagles flapping wing.

HISTORICAL & MULTIMEDIA GALLERY The historical gallery are built in timber to reduce direct sunlight emission hence bringing ambience of being in a traditional house and sudden throw back in time. While the multimedia gallery shows video31 of the traditional dances and why dances are dance in such way.

DATUN JULUD STUDIO Datun Julud belongs to Orang Ulu’s. This dance practice uses sape, a traditional lute. To ensure sound are reflected throughout the entire room, the room are built with timber as the reflected sound are what they dance to.

SUMAZAU STUDIO Sumazau dance originated from Kadazan Dusun’s. As the dance are accompanied by six goings of various sizes, the room is designed with a vegetation buffer zone located on the right side of the room.

ORIENTATION : WIND ANALYSIS & STRATEGIES

According to the wind rose diagram, the North East facade of the building have chances to receive the highest wind breeze. Therefore, the building is designed to be be a open space with doubt volume, allowing wind breeze to flow through and circulate into the building

ORIENTATION : SOLAR ANALYSIS & STRATEGIES

Creepers

Creepers are intergrated in the south facade of the building to minimize heat gain

Bamboo Blinds

The building is rotated to North East orientation to minimise solar heat gain. The long elevation which faces north and south reduces the envelope thermal loadFrom the solar analysis, is it clear that the building is shaded at all times. Hence, solar heat gain internally will not be a problem

Bamboo blinds are installed throughout the north facade of the building as a buffer for direct sunlight and rain.

The core of the building, such as services and accommodation area are placed on the west facade , as it helps to block the direct sunlight from the west.

ENVIRONMENTAL STRATEGIES

Wide window openings are provided to achieve sufficient natural lighting from the sun, to penetrate through the building, alongside a very open building with voids further suffice the natural lighting to enter every corner of the building without obstruction

The natural ventilation creates a refreshing breeze effect when air-conditoning is not used

The strongest prevailing wind from the North-East direction is fully penetrated through the entire buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s semi open spaces due to the strategic orientation of the building.

The openness of the interior allows easy flow of cool air throughout the building

The double volume in the building creates shaded verandah, which increases passive cooling system.

The building which orientates towards the North East minimises the penetration of direct sunlight, while allowing maximum indirect sunlight that is sufficient for internal use.

The maximisation of fresh air ventilation and natural daylight for lighting resulting low energy imprint. These features are achieved through proliferation of open corridors, internal courtyards and openings.

SUSTAINABILITY CONCEPT

By making use of rooftop garden, the amount of underused space can be decrease drastically. Helps to improve indoor comfort by reducing heat transfer, resulting in a more comfortable temperature

Usage of Roof Top Garden protects direct solar heat

ENERGY CONSERVATION FEATURES Photovoltaic panels harvests solar energy and produces electricity, which reduces environmental impacts as well as dependance on imported oil

Rooftop Garden reduces cooling cost in a hot country like Malaysia. The plants and greeneries help to absorb the sunâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rays adding an extra layer of protection between harsh UV rays and roof membrane. It helps to keep the building cool while reducing the energy consumption of artificial ventilations

The usage of rainwater harvesting system can help to reduce the amount of water consumption in the building

Bioswales, sustainable drainage devices which remove silt and pollution from surface ground to run offs.The catchment area integrated with the landscape design.

The rainwater collect and drained to the rainwater harvesting tank filers and then recycled for landscape irrigation

Bioswales

MATERIAL AND RESOURCES

WHITE CONCRETE The usage of white concrete helps to cool down the interior spaces. The reflectivity of light reduces the requirement of excessive lighting, which in turn reduces energy costs.

TIMBER Timber are used in parts of the buildings to highlight the contrasting difference. Timber is versatile and can be used in a wide variety of ways and this help to reduce the energy needed for construction.

STEEL I-BEAM I-beams are used for their load bearing and aesthetic beauty. Other than that, they can help to reduce the need for numbers support structures, hence reducing the amount of energy needed to produce more structures
