Abstract

Wet market and hawker stalls have been an essential part of urban culture, local economy, and social infrastructure in Kuala Lumpur The environmental issues related to sustainability and hygienic matters caused not all generations in communities to enjoy and appreciate the unique characteristics of the wet market. The lack of awareness towards sustainability within wet market compounds is part of the issues in this project. Thus this research provides a range of strategies associated with the environmentally-friendly market for a consumer typology, not only to preserve the environment but also to draw all generations to the potential future urban market. Consideration of parameters and context for urban design is critical as it is aligned with the urban market to ensure comfort for users in response to the context's local climate, tradition and culture. This paper's research objective is to identify and tackle the solutions in the prospect of speculative design in terms of urban intervention, market modules and social community of future urban market in Madras, Kuala Lumpur

Background Study

Marketplaces also known as market halls, market sheds, or market districts have always played an essential role in the history and development of cities worldwide Concerning the urban context, the marketplace helps public spaces thrive in cities and towns throughout the world. Designing the built environment around the market in a way that creates a sense of place is vital to the success of these public spaces (Watson, 2009).

In that sense, the market becomes both origin and destination, helping community residents recognize and value the public space as integral to their collective identity.

The market is more than merely a location where one obtains food and other necessities, but also embodies the community’s unique sense of place Markets as public realm contributes to the well-being of cities in cultural, environmental and economic terms. Various key benefits that markets can provide can be observed: economic, social, health, regeneration, and environment

The first economic benefit is that markets offer cheap and fresh food, also with social implications. Markets can, therefore, be particularly important for the community

Kuala Lumpur is facing rapid development in the urban context. Old buildings are left abandoned or demolished and losing place attachment Due to land scarcity in Kuala Lumpur, existing markets do not have specific communal spaces to interact, Inefficient use of space with a lack of green spaces in the urban setting

Design Thesis Issues

Several factors, such as unhygienic conditions and so on, cause a lack of participants and create discouragement to visit the wet market Absence in community interaction also has been highlighted for this project since typical market modules only created for trading, not for socializing

In economic prospects, the wet market is having a competition with various types of markets and many other alternatives nowadays.

The environmental issues for the existing market are related to sustainability and hygienic matters The lack of awareness towards sustainability within wet market compounds is part of the issues in this project. The discharge of rubbish, polluted water, the usage of plastic bags etcetera can bring harm to the environment In this case, for a market typology, variety of practices can be applied as an eco-friendly market, not only to preserve the environment, it is also potential to attract all generation to come to the future urban market.

Thesis Aim

This research sought to identify and tackle the solutions in the prospect of speculative design in terms of urban intervention, market modules and social community of future urban market in Madras, Kuala Lumpur.

Thesis Objectives

1. Regeneration and re-imagination of the market integrated with community infrastructure.

2. Continuous district community core with greater accessibility, diversity and vibrancy through placemaking and community-centric

3. Improvements of public spaces to improve cleanliness, safety, and wayfinding to revive and install a positive effect on tourism and business, comply with sustainable development goals (SDG).

Thesis Questions

1. What is the best potential of regenerative ideas of the market to be integrated with community infrastructure?

2. What are the solutions to ensure the market is easy to access as a placemaking and communitycentric?

3. What can be improved regarding facilities and amenities in the urban market to attract all generations to participate?

thesis statement

Wet Market and hawker stalls have been an essential part of urban culture, local economy and social infrastructure in Kuala Lumpur. The typical issue related to the wet market is unhygienic and poor management of surroundings that caused not all generations in the community to enjoy the unique characteristics of the wet market.

Furthermore, rapid urban growth and increasing urban density ratio can affect the future architecture for the market that might change, either in function or space itself, with the presence of new technology.

The role of social space, green space, commercial space, and anything associated with the market is essential for an architect to shape and ensure human scale and comfort for visitors, responding to the local climate, tradition, and culture of the context .

theoretical framework

Three (3) main components are urban, market modules, and communities that will eventually lead to the concept of the urban market.

The urban intervention means to enhance urban connectivity that includes the urban market as part of the transition in the city Urban elements have the potential to bring people to the site selected with proper planning that includes consideration of nodes, edges, traffic, landmarks, context surrounding, connectivity, and access.

Market modules focus on the potential future programs related to the commercial context, specifically in the ring of the market with speculative ideas. Modules that can be creative and innovative within this framework also will determine the zoning, spaces, and flow system in the future urban market will be Communities' framework is to study human behavior and identify what future communities need concerning the current situation. The strategy later will enhance social interrelation with the urban market

Significant of Thesis

This study will help decisionmakers make any intervention based on the findings derived from this study to disseminate solutions based on a theoretical framework for the future urban market in the city.It stresses the importance of preserving the tradition and culture of the context and preserving the identity of Kuala Lumpur. The importance of speculating the future environment of the commercial environment in the market to fulfill communities’ needs and demands will benefit urban intervention and economic gain.

This chapter has presented and discussed the background of the study It explained why the wet market is vital to the commercial and social environment; definitions of terms is to understand better with speculative ideas. Additionally, the problem's statement was discussed, as this study set to discover the potential of the future wet market as part of the identity of the city in Kuala Lumpur. Furthermore, followed by the theoretical framework of this study, which holds the essential key points in identifying the characteristics of making the future market to answer future needs and demands, either intangible or intangible manners

This chapter also presented the research questions, aims and objectives The study's significance followed, highlighting how this study fills the gap in the research literature on the future market for future communities in Kuala Lumpur Finally, the thesis structure was illustrated in a diagram to show the relationship from background study until possible solutions for the thesis.

Introduction to Urban Market

The right location

Zhong, Shuru & Crang, Mike & Zeng, Guojun (2019) mentioned that to make sure the success of the public market, the location must have the principles of visibility and accessibility This strategy would leave a trace of memorable in their mind through visual appearances The flow of space should be easy to navigate and orient. The proportion and scale also should feel appropriate for the place. Furthermore, the market also should be able to provide flexible spin-off opportunities as a platform for a valuable customer base for neighboring businesses

The right culture

According to Ashworth, G J (2000), the internal competition between vendors will ensure that the practice will build quality and variety and keep the price reasonable The concept of owner-operated in the market brings a sense of community, and it what makes wet markets are different from supermarkets Multiple choice and selection for customers to select derived from the consumer demand for local products..

The right public spaces

Providing seating allows the consumers to rest, socialize and snack. Keeping proper maintenance is the key to ongoing public enjoyment Practicing comfort in a market that provides appropriate shade, natural lighting, wind, etcetera would give a sense of welcoming place where people will feel at ease According to Mele, Christopher & Ng, Megan & Chim (2015), flexibility and attraction as one concept in a market means a mix of uses offer things to people such as different retail activities within spaces that able to sustain many activities

2.1

Markets and the Quality of Public Life

Increases competition from major retail stores, supermarkets and other cheap alternative retail outlets and e-commerce as well Various reasons might contribute to favoring the new alternatives; consumers perceive supermarkets as cheaper, availability in facilities, and public amenities

Based on research by Fabrizio Panozzo (2013), the preferences of customers have changed: this creates new challenges for outdoor markets, especially those that do not include indoor elements that can still attract consumers when the weather is terrible. Moreover, consumers are increasingly looking for a more comfortable shopping experience, where they do not need to be proactive or knowledgeable

Factor concerns urban planning decisions: an unsympathetic redevelopment of the city center could marginalize the market effectively. The pedestrianization of the market area could also prevent consumers from leaving with shopping bags because they have to travel further from bus stops and parking lots.

A

final factor in adapting to changes is the slowness of the market

industry Many traditional markets, market operators and traders have failed to grasp the need for change: the need to adapt more quickly is the lack of market credit card facilities or the need for new promotion (competing with slick supermarket and shopping center advertising)

Markets as Nodes of Experiences & Creative Economy

Economy in urban economic development

The experience economy has emerged as a concept for defining a new economic era based on experiences ' added value, driven by increasing interurban competition and personal consumer engagement. Cities are the right centers for experiences consumption, and they have a unique role in the economy of experiences. "The role of place in the economy is to increase the market value. Through establishing identity and involving the user, the position constituent increases the value of knowledge" (Lorentzen, 2009).

Markets into experience nodes

According to Fabrizio Panozzo (2013), the market experience is the perfect example of experience: going back in time to the market, experiencing space, and an ancient kind of public life. Users want to be involved in the experience: the products sell in touch, smell and feel. There is no avoidance in the experience, like walking through the stalls and watching people and the market A valid experience in the market is the symbol of the city and its inhabitants, the identity, unique atmosphere and vibrancy of the place.

Market as identity of the city

Markets are an open venue, bringing all the diverse community members together in one location where there is no boundary, disadvantaged people are encouraged, and celebrating the differences Supported by Goodsell & Charles (2003), the market is a public space, so it is fundamentally a democratic space, unlike shopping malls Increasing cultural diversity is an opportunity for bringing new products

Market as a well-functioning public space

It builds social capital by consolidating social relationships by facilitating people's exchange According to Fabrizio Panozzo (2013), the culture promotes learning who to be and how to respond, being an incomparable instructor of social skills and attitudes where people learn how to communicate and behave within and through cultural, social and experiential gaps through observation, imitation and involvement It is also contributed to a more democratic way of life and encourages to share observation and perspective, and thereby it humanizes all participants.

2.3

Culture Appraisal on Traditional Wet Market

The culture was identified as a critical dimension in urban development and linked to local competitiveness and a creativity-based economic development model Culture, creativity and economic development have a positive relationship that is mainstream. Urban spaces have ceased to be inhabited by a commoditydriven working class that moves from a traditional to a modern and creative type of city To this end, markets provide a perfect arena for city-wide creativity development

Based on research by Shariff, Shazali & Norazmir (2015), as well as conceiving the city's buzz as its key advantage, scenes with people meeting, chatting and exchanging ideas, the market could represent and create a perfect environment that fosters creativity and innovation and encourages them The market's ability to bring people from different levels of society and income together, from immigrants to well-to-do families, promoting social integration, multiculturalism and tolerance, provides some essential elements for the creative environment

The creative community on the market could experience a perfect space to interact with the city and find inspiration for creating or innovating in it The market building itself, not just its atmosphere, could be used as a functional venue for cultural events or as a hub of creativity, which might be an added value for the market in turn

Role & Function of Future Urban Market 2.4

According to Fabrizio Panozzo (2013), markets are essential social interaction sites for all community groups, such as older people, mothers with young children, teenagers, and families with children, especially on weekends The critical point is the unique market atmosphere created by a combination of traders, the public and the effect of the social space itself, which creates the conditions for vital social integration in Kuala Lumpur, which is extremely necessary. Kuala Lumpur needs a place to meet people, get to know each other yet recognize the variations, and learn how to coexist with each other.

It is also vital to use markets to support environmental issues. For example, the market selling fresh, local food is acting to reduce carbon emissions and "food miles." Markets are currently working to reduce waste, for example, by reducing packaging and offering biodegradable bags, in addition to one of the traditional selling off stock roles on the market that require clearance. Markets need to act in an environmentally friendly manner and advertise the fact to help educate the public with a clear and robust role for the environment

Urban Market Characteristics

The urban market will be a "fusion place" where various uses coexist in speculative ideas, such as traditional trade, shopping and entertainment, or community functions The market as an innovation hub fosters a wide range of interactions and mixed-use environments, blurring the boundaries between physical, digital, economic, social and cultural spaces Based on FOA (2015), multiprofessionalism and mixed-use are the main characteristics of these innovative societies, pursuing quality of life, workplaces, social and cultural diversity, and digital and physical connectivity

The market's physical form has identified as an essential factor in the performance of a market as a social space Markets are about the interaction between traders and the public, and this interaction must be encouraged and promoted by design and space One of the main reasons why the combination of outdoor and indoor markets seen as a failure was that shopping outside was not seen as desirable by shoppers under poor weather conditions, while also creating uncomfortable working conditions for traders

1 Retailing of fresh produce;

2 Assembly of produce;

3 Wholesaling by vendors;

4 Promotion sales;

5 Hawker stalls, cafes, and restaurants;

6 Spaces devoted to municipal and community social activities

One of the program's fundamental questions is whether stores offering the same goods should be grouped or vice versa. If the stalls are installed arbitrarily, then sales of impulses will be encouraged, but creating a pleasant market atmosphere will be more challenging. Customers will not be able to perceive differences in quality and prices. Organization of stores by product line, there will be greater competition, which will be more favorable to the customer.

These spaces can contribute to community vitality because of their access to diverse uses in one place The association between diverse communities can encourage innovative thinking and provide openings for conventional boundaries of cooperation and collaborations Kuala Lumpur's urban market architectural design and layout in Madras will provide a scheme to organize a range of different uses of the two-level space covered.

Sustainability in Urban Market 2.6

Ecological Sustainability

In the opinion of Fabrizio Panozzo in 2013, urban market can adopt an innovative approach to waste minimization and management based primarily on waste separation for recycling, composting and reducing packaging use, and recycled or biodegradable packaging. The urban market must create separate waste recycling facilities so that waste can be reused or disposed of technologically and adequately prepared for potential use elsewhere. Energy efficiency and the use of renewable energy sources will also need to incorporate market planning with a methodology for optimal construction retrofitting to zero emissions, built to ensure cost-effectiveness through innovative technologies, component requirements and development techniques.

Business Planning & Economic Sustainability

A financially sustainable business plan is the one that has:

1. Adequate revenue from project services and other dedicated sources will cover the costs and operations and maintenance (O&M) of project capital

2. Socially inclusive and operates systemically and sustainable

3. Sustainable for the environment.

4. A regulatory framework for enforcing service quality, public interest preservation and economic sustainability.

Chapter Summary

This chapter has presented and discussed here are few summarizations from this chapter.

1. Principles that have been highlighted for successful regenerative market acted as part of the solutions to the thesis issues.

2. Relationship of urban fabric with market is vital in making the connection and accessibility for community to the urban market is good enough.

3. Market is well associated with experience-design due to its cultural way of trading, hence the principles of experience-design have been highlighted in tangible and intangible manners.

Introduction

This chapter will discuss the process of evaluating a particular location's physical, mental and social characteristics with the ambition of developing an architectural solution that will address and enhance its internal and external context Kuala Lumpur is unique and will consist of many complex elements such as topography, natural features, climate, demographics, and mainly urban characters since this site is considered a city center.

Location of the Site

The proposed urban market for this project is located in Kuala Lumpur, under the masterplan of River of Life, specifically in Zone 04 under Precinct 07. It is also known as a secondary heritage zone due to the existing old shophouses surrounding the proposed site. Rapid development had occurred in Kuala Lumpur over the years, particularly during the post-independent period. Such developments were proliferating and unregulated to the point that the natural heritage was forgotten or forced to sacrifice, specifically the river that was once the city's lifeline in the old days

Chinatown is undoubtedly one of Malaysia's most popular tourist spots, deeply immersed in Oriental culture, heritage and history. Chinatown is also the paradise of a well-known bargain hunter, a place where you can find everything from Chinese herbs to imitation goods At night, its main market street, Petaling Street, becomes a lively and vibrant night market full of hundreds of people An archway of the Oriental theme with the words 'Jalan Petaling / Petaling Road' spelled out in gold letters greets tourists at its main entrance.

History & Culture of Petaling Street/Chinatown

The revolution of Petaling Street can be seen by the absence of patchy sidewalks, broken pavements and colorful umbrellas are gone, connected on both sides to wooden pushcarts lining the street. The length of the street is protected by a green awning, serving as a shelter to protect vendors and shoppers from heat and rain

Proposed Site Information

The market's physical form has been identified as an essential factor in the performance of a market as a social space. Markets are about the interaction between traders and the public, and this interaction must be encouraged and promoted by design and space One of the main reasons why the combination of outdoor and indoor markets was seen as a failure was the fact that shopping outside was not seen as desirable by shoppers

Located in between Jalan Tun H S Lee and Petaling Street, the proposed site consists of an existing wet market and hawker stalls alongside the narrow lane The proposed site area is 4659 37sqm, which is equal to 1.15 acres. It is called Madras Lane because of the history in the 60s and 70s, where the place was a wellknown entertainment area, and the most iconic place in the era here was the Madras cinema

Demographic Analysis and Economic Link

Kuala Lumpur is the largest city in Malaysia, covering an area of 243 km2 with an estimated population in 2019 was 7,780,000, a 2 86% increase from 2018 (DoA, 2019). According to Kuala Lumpur City Hall (2007), KL's heterogeneous populace includes the country's three major ethnic groups: the Malays, the Chinese and the Indians, although the city also has a mix of different cultures including Eurasians, as well as Kadazans, Ibans and other indigenous races from around Malaysia Regarding estimation urban growth rate, Kuala Lumpur needs to attain employment and population sizes that are optimum in relation to its economic activities, land resources, infrastructure and community facilities.

Figure 3.13 Population of Kuala Lumpur based on 2019 Source: Department of Statistics

Kuala Lumpur's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) (at buyers' value in 1987 prices) increased from RM21 157 million in 1995 to RM25 968 million in 2000, an average annual growth rate of 4.2 percent During the same time, Malaysia's average annual growth rate was 4.7 percent. Kuala Lumpur's per capita GDP rose from RM22,799 to RM30,727 from 1995 to 2000, an average annual growth rate of 6.1 percent. The per capita GDP for Kuala Lumpur was more than twice that of the national average.

The population and jobs, based on Doa (2019), have not risen as fast as KLSP predicted in 1984 The employment-to-population ratio, however, rose from 46 9 percent in 1980 to 59 0 percent in 2000. To that end, 1 4 million jobs and 2 2 million inhabitants are expected for the year 2020.

Thermal comfort plays a critical role in sharing spaces They agreed with this assertion by Waraporn and Wathanyoo in 2013 that cultural and personal experience may impact human adaptation to the degree of comfort. This strategy is known as the model of adaptive comfort. Based on Figure 3.20, it is vital to ensure efficient crossventilation, especially for the fresh witrelated market

According to Hsieh, Chun-Ming & Tan, Hongwei & Lee, S (2015), warmth is usually due to a combination of high air temperature, humidity, and rainfall in tropical climates combined with considerable action of solar radiation. Due to the existing shophouses surrounding the site, certain areas are well shaded. Eastside has the most shaded area because of various heights of buildings compared to the other sides. A strategy is needed to cover almost the entire proposed site

Urban Characteristics

The proposed site's location is under the masterplan of River of Life launched by Kuala Lumpur City Hall in 2012 The masterplan is parallel to one of Malaysia's strategy in Economic Transformation Programs, an initiative that combines high-impact projects and programs to elevate the country to developed nation status

PRECINT 07, RIVER OF LIFE

Marketplaces also known as market halls, market sheds, or market districts have always played an important role in the history and development of cities around the world

The River of Life (ROL) transforms the Klang River into a vibrant and liveable waterfront with high economic value ROL covers eight (8) rivers with a total length of 110km. This project has three (3) major components, such as River Cleaning (led by Department of Irrigation & Drainage (DID) Malaysia), River Beautification (led Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL)) and Commercialisation and Tourism (led Ministry of Federal Territory (KWP)) The river cleaning process is involved a 110km stretch along the eight rivers covering three municipal areas The economic viability of the area would be more efficient through master planning and beautification works carried out along the 10 7km stretch of Klang and Gombak river corridor.

In relation with urban context, the marketplace helps public spaces thrive in cities and towns throughout the world Designing the built environment around the market in a way that creates a sense of place is vital to the success of these public spaces (Watson, 2009).

According to AECOM, River of Life will deliver affordable housing for more than 35,000 new residents, one million square meters of commercial space, more than 27,000 new employment opportunities, raise the public transportation usage within the master plan area from 15 percent to 60 percent and reduce traffic demand by 15 percent by 2020.

2019 Masterplan

The new masterplan for River of Life moves for the first step of potential masterplan ROL with specific plans to restore the Klang River and Gombak River. Another plan is to turn the banks through river cleaning, beautification and land development into waterfront areas of economic and commercial interest The ROL project's first phase of river embellishment for Precinct 7 includes historical sites such as Dataran Merdeka, Masjid Jamek, and Central Market, which are at the confluence of the two rivers where Kuala Lumpur was formed in 1857. Furthermore, the future masterplan ensures that the ROL area 's capacity as catalysts of the national economy is exploited and that more visitors are attracted to the region

Macro-connectivity

The potential of macro-connectivity within 500 meters radius from the site shows the significant potential of the urban market to become the next continuous commercial node in the city

Figure 3.26

Landmarks within 500 meters radius from the proposed site

The proposed site's location is under the secondary heritage zone with the majority presence of art deco old shophouses. As shown in figure 3.27, the separation between the new and old façade of the buildings is clearly observed with various heights and plot ratios.

The sectional diagram shown in 3.28 shows the challenges of responding to the immediate context to ensure the sense of place is sustained

The facade sets expectations and defines the feel of the overall structure It can also help achieve the goal of blending in with the surroundings or standing out from the crowd The façade inventory shows the principle of repetition, solid and void, horizontal and vertical features, and etcetera that could inspire the form and skin of the future urban market.

Zoning

The majority component of zoning within 800 meters radius from the proposed site is monopolized by commercial zone Then, followed by institutions and public facilities and transportation This analysis shows how the project has the potential to gain the crowd to become the participant of the urban market.

Recognizing the invisibility of microinteractions is essential to creating something that feels human and accomplishes a task, making the life of a user more comfortable. The intention is also to focus on a design that can work in various environments and does not need any instruction or explanation. For this urban market project, the micro connectivity is crucial for visitors to recognize the access and experience the tangible and intangible architecture of site surroundings The user is either using the five-foot-walkway of the old shophouses or using the proposed bridge, which is a direct link from MRT Pasar Seni station. The importance of microinteractions is essential in design

For pedestrian access, there is four access that can be experienced from different edges of the building Visitor or customer route can begin from Jalan Tun H.S. Lee, or Jalan Hang Lekir and Petaling Street, even from MRT Pasar Seni itself via the proposed bridge walkway. This initiative would encourage people to come from various nodes to gather in the urban market for social experiences The visitor who uses vehicle transportation, the only access is from Jalan Tun H.S Lee and direct through an exit to Jalan Sultan Minimizing routes for vehicles would impact traffic in the future, especially in the urban context Hence, micro connectivity analysis is vital to ensure the smooth flow of the route.

Design Thesis Project Brief

Thetargetuser

The main target regarding participants of the wet market is to attract users from all generations to participate in the culture of fresh market and hawker stalls. Especially for the younger generations, the number of youngsters seen in the traditional market, especially the wet market, seems to decrease compared to the previous time Furthermore, since the wet market located in the urban area, this market also targeted people working in the surrounding context to supply their house needs and personal demands

Thetargetclient

The apparent client for this project is the city council of Kuala Lumpur, which is known as DBKL. Furthermore, for ThinkCity, as a regional city-making agency that provides urban policy thinking, management and implementation of urban solutions while acting as a catalyst for change in the wat cities are planned, curated, developed, and celebrated. Grab, Uber and dahmakan are part of a collaborative client that provides services parallel to the current trend of purchasing goods, foods, beverages, etcetera

Building Programs

The future urban market has four main components of building programs in order to achieve the desired objectives Marketplace programs consist of fresh products from the supplier, deliver and process daily The output will be done in various ways. Another component is food and beverage, which represent the existing hawker stalls that sell local foods in a variety of concepts of a flexible and adaptable kiosk

The urban square is to be integrated with the hawker stalls to function as an elevated plaza and provide space for the communities to interact with each other while enjoying goods from the hawker kiosk Last but not least, space for services includes loading bay, quality control bay, preparation bay, vertical and horizontal transportation system and anything that related to it

SHENGLI MARKET, PUYANG CITY

Architect: LUO studio

Market setting: Multiple connected shops on the edge areas of the space Each shop is enclosed on three sides, has an equal width and length of 4 meters, which is coordinated with the sizes of the external walls' structural rods Those shops have a relatively large scale and independent names

Stall setting: The shelf area is open, and the average space for each booth is relatively limited. Each single shelf has a total length of 2 meters, and generally one booth occupies two shelves. Considering the visual height and length, it was unfeasible to set the signs on the shelves

BESIKTAS FISH MARKET, TURKEY

Architect: GAD Architects

Market setting: The architectural decisions were constituted with the space mimics a piece of cloth lifted from the corners or a seashell. A junction of three roads thrives with transverse movements Furthermore the ceiling has been kept high increasing the openness and view capacity of the restaurants This visual linkage spontaneously promotes an invitation both towards the inside and outside

Stall setting: a simplistic approach to form and solutions, in order to allow and welcome revolution in this 26x23/2 triangular space.

Case Studies 4.4

have a gearbox that is attached to the motor, which drives the wheel that moves the ropes Geared traction elevators are capable of travel speeds up to 500 feet per minute The maximum travel distance for a geared traction elevator is around 250 feet

The mechanism is typically based on a hydraulic pump and piston and pulley In this case a pedestal supports the piston and connects to the hoistway using a number of brackets. The dual, singlestage design uses a basic hoistway size, which makes it much more economical than its other counterparts - The mid to high rise hydraulic elevators have designs that enable travel over 100 feet without the need for a well hole The good thing about them is that they don't exert any heavy load on your building’s

Horizontal Smart Boxveyor belt

Smart conveyors, comprised of a system of carts individually and asynchronously routed along tracks, leverage advanced motion control technology for real-time programming. The result is a highly responsive transport system for a wide range of applications

Drive thru market

Upon finding a product or product to purchase, you place them on the conveyor belt below the product’s shelf which then transports each item to a cashier who packs your order and takes payment in similar fashion to a fast-food drive in A typical order can take less than five minutes to complete and you don’t vacate the car which means no parking hassles

Above the shopping area is a floor where the supply warehouse is located Products are replenished by workers who feed them into shelves that represent their counterpart shelf in the store below and report on their empty/full status. The products are taken by conveyor belt again to their corresponding shelf for restock.

signDevelopment

Introduction

Design development is a part of the process which forces all decisions to be evaluated for their practicality and execution Next, design development as the point at which decisions are made and concepts are solidified into actions. Schematic design is all about getting ideas on paper that represent the goals outlined during programming and fit within the restraints defined through site planning. While schematic design focuses on broad goals and larger concepts, design development hones these ideas into realistic and tangible options

Site Synthesis & Planning Strategies 5.1

Site Influences & Design Concept 5.2

The concept initially derived from the site influences that inspire tangible and intangible manners. Four main components eventually build up the whole concept: robust and void, variety of heights, ratio and form and cluster of modules. This strategy is to ensure that the proposed design will produce appropriate visuals.

Tetris in Madras is the concept for the proposed project that represents the integration of modules as one form that shows the principle of unity, hierarchy, and harmony. Variety components of horizontal and vertical with different sizes showing how the design framework can be an affiliate with proper connectivity.

Forms Development 5.4

The forms of development were being explored from many points of view. In figure 5.7, the development shows how one vertical core can be expandable and integrated with other cores that eventually create solid and void, release and recess, interlocking with each other and etcetera. From Tetris's components, plans configurations are created by looking at the 2D view, where it will create another form such as hexagon

Based on Figure 5 8, there is the initial and current development of the project. The similarities of both developments are the component of Tetris was used as the massing form of the design, blended with the site contextual massing. The differences are the complete form of massing is either expandable in a horizontal and vertical direction

Initial development shows how plane components are pulled up with varying heights, and the forms were expanded horizontally. The final massing was being resized on a uniform scale to maximize the buildable site area.

For the current development, which leads to the final design of the Madras Lane Metromarket, the central core lifted from horizontal to vertical way. From one point of vertical core, exploration started at the upper level. The repetition of the central core was done into five main cores and wrap up with horizontal core as connectivity link.

Chapter Summary

There are few summarizations from this chapter:

1. The synthesis and site planning responded to the strength, weakness, opportunities and threat of the site. This action is to maximize positive benefits and minimize any negative outcomes

2. The design concept guided the massing form that follows the site planning strategies. By analyze the value of fresh market and regenerate the planning of operation hour would help building programs reach the thesis' objectives.

3. The design schematic developments shows the initial layout planning of future urban market.

FinalDesign

Introduction

This chapter shows the final design of this project that explained the zoning of the spaces, the flow of function in the market system, and necessary drawings as a medium to explain scale, space usage, connection to the surrounding context, and etcetera The project's understanding was projected by diagrams and perspectives that would give a better visual thought about the urban market. .

Perspective view towards the market pod by the vendors interacting with customers The pods have an ample space for the vendors to handle their products from the preparation pods to showcase the customer. The staff's productivity can become better due to a comfortable and clean space to rest and work at the same time

The vibrancy of the surroundings is vital in encouraging the community to participate in the market as part of the main objective of this urban market The features of new visuals of products showcase together with active and passive design strategies for comfort would help to achieve the objective of the project

Connectivity link for participants to experience continuous nodes of urban edges and nodes is essential to ensure the excitement of commercial loop from one point to another For this project, revitalization of the fivefoot walkway of the old shophouses is visualized, as shown in the figure to become a new landmark of the building access

Figure 6.7

Figure 6 6

Figure 6.5

The first level plan consists of hawker pods that allow hawker stalls to sell their local food and beverages In order to facilitate social community participants, the elevated plaza within the hawker pods was arranged with decent space. This strategy allows us to place adequate furniture that gives comfort to the user.

Figure 6.8

Horizontal transportation at the services pods area located at the upper level of towers.

The second level plan is to process the product that has been delivered directly from the supplier. The staff in this pods would regularly check and catalog the products to ensure in and out process will be done smoothly without having any clutter arrangement with requirement of various transportation

The third level plan is where the staff will process the products in preparation pods. Every category of the tower pods has its own type of services to function. Hence, the pods' scale was influenced by the capacity needed for the works to be done. These pods would minimize the unhygienic condition at the lower level of the market.

Basement 1 consists of underground drive thru market pods that able public to access and buy fresh products without getting out from their vehicles This strategy is parallel to the future trend of groceries shopping This basement also function as unloading bay for delivery process to the preparation pods to transport products from suppliers not to scale

Product Flow of Route

The fresh products will be delivered from time to time, according to the specific schedule This process will be taken at unloading bay, located at the basement one (underground) where the supplier will drop the products here to check-in

Staff will put the products in the stainless box with a specific detection code tag to ensure that the products arrive according to the tower based on each category (meat, marine, fruits and vegetable etcetera).

The boxveyor will then arrive at assigned quality control pods equipped with specific machines to catalog the products The staff will directly check the quality of the product before sending it to the preparation pod for further action

After cataloging the product, the staff will send the products to the preparation pod for cleaning, cutting, and storing purpose Packaging of products will be done before sending it to the customer at market pods, hawker pods, or drive-through pods

The concept of this project plays a vital role in representing the application of vertical and horizontal components as a flow system of the urban market.

Market Configurations 7.1

MARKET POD

The strategy for the market pod is to enhance user comfort while minimizing issues such as unhygienic conditions, lack of space for storage and work, etcetera. Each pod would have 4-8 vendors for each market section category, provided with ample space and innovative features that can enhance aesthetically and practically

HAWKER POD

Hawker pods represent the hawker stalls that usually used carts to sell their local cuisine The advantages of this new layout of hawker pod are that each station could comfortably occupy more than four people rather than just existing typical stalls This action would ensure that each vendor would serve quality food and beverages to the customer and allow visitors to experience this while sitting at the elevated urban plaza

PREPARATION POD

The verticality concept has brought the preparation process at the upper level, separating this activity from market pods to minimize scattered and dirty environments Spaces within preparation pods are quite comprehensive with the activity and number of occupancy needed for the process.

Passive & Active Design Strategies for Comfort

Various systems are used concerning architecture and infrastructure to achieve thermal comfort within the building Passive design directly uses natural energy such as wind, sunlight, or even gravity without any consumption of electricity

Active design is a system or structure itself that use purchased energy or adapts with electricity to enhance the level of comfort in the surrounding of the urban market. With the right combination of strategies, this urban market can achieve ideal comfort

Passive Cooling Design Strategies

Passive cooling strategies for market pods and hawker pods can be seen in figure 7.6 by taking advantage of natural ventilation flow Evaporative cooling at top of the hexa roof space frame structure also was installed to enhance thermal comfort at space underneath the roof Installation of louvre shading devices at preparation pods together with double glazing wall in figure 7 7

Figure 7.6

Installation of passive design strategies at the market pods and hawker pods.

Figure 7.7

Louvre shading devices as double skin façade integrated with double glazing wall.

Active Design Strategies

The application of industrial/commercial column fan in the middle of the space would enhance the flow of ventilation within the market As shown in figure 7 8, the fan can circulate in big space efficiently with minimum noise pollution while operating (<43dB) and powered by Permanent Magnet Synchronous brushless direct drive motor (PMSM) offering in 30% increase in airflow, 15% reduced noise level, high transmission efficiency, and great torque balance

Figure 7.8 shows the column mounted fans that can be moving 360 degree circulating the column This fan featured with air mist to enhance humidity especially in the open area like market pods, hawker pods, and elevated urban plaza

Sustainable approach using the structure module.

Building Summary 7.5

Special studies can impact the urban market sector's impact through new approaches that improve the way people live and build The advantages fall into three main categories; environmental, financial and social benefits These three categories are parallel to the main objectives of this urban market. The categorization demonstrates the multi-aspect contribution of sustainable building. It is one of the first solid construction moves to concentrate on the building's full lifecycle, balancing efficiency with careful management of capital.

Sustainable approaches also are vital in reducing energy consumption and waste. By using renewable and recyclable resources can create a healthy, environmentallyfriendly environment. The strategies in market configurations featured with sustainable approaches can give essential benefits not only to the environment but also to the building itself For example, cost reduction, increases productivity, improved health, waste minimization, noise avoidance, room for experimentation and better quality of life.

Conclusion 8.0

The project of Madras Lane Metromarket has sufficiently answered the three main categories objectives which are; urban, social economy and environment The objective for urban point, this project has made a continuous link from immediate commercial context and existing public transportation. The strategy of going vertical for the market has answered the issue of urban density that is compact. Next, under the social economy's objective, the integration of community spaces has included market pods and hawker pods together under one shade.

Upgrading the infrastructure and commerce system can attract all generations to participate in the urban market. Next, enhancing comfort and aesthetics on physical aspects could increase the foot traffic while contributing to economic gain and profit The third objective in the environment is for the whole building to have various sustainable approaches for the long term Flexible and extendable pods are vital to ensure the market can be multi-function and serve various purposes
