The way humans move around fundamentally shapes our world. Movement systems change our understanding of time, distance and economics, and influence the relationships between people, communities and places. The railway system is the best examples of this. The disruption caused by the arrival of the railways was the outcome of the convergence of new technologies, social structures and economic models. The entry and exit points to the railways – the stations – played a key role in this disruption. But as our world develops, railways, and stations in particular, are themselves being disrupted by ever-changing technology, innovation and a fast-evolving notion of place.
If stations are to not only remain relevant, but be a competitive contributor to human futures, they must transform from a perception of static infrastructures and become the centre of nimble systems of movement, agile places and flexible operations. They must become Living Stations. This design thesis has develop the concept of “Tomorrow’s Living Station”, to explore how stations might develop and to make them a place of inspiration and pride. This project sets out a way of thinking that incorporates the fundamental role of stations and railways in moving people safely, but explores broader issues and opportunities for stations.
The station is located in Kampung Pisang, Batu Gajah in Kinta district of Perak, Malaysia, not far from Batu Gajah town. Most of the surrounding areas are KTMB depot and Akademi KTM.
This station not only serves those from Batu Gajah, but also surrounding areas like Tanjung Tualang and even Lahat and Pusing in Ipoh city areas, as well as Pengkalan residential and business areas including Station 18. Passengers to and from Seri Iskandar also alight here, especially students of Universiti Teknologi Petronas (UTP) and Universiti Teknologi MARA campus around it.

The library was designed witha loose furniture and minimum temporary structures in order to be a community shelter during hurricanes and major storms, and COVID-19 pandemic. The space will become Baton Rouge’s “living room”: a place for connection and collaboration for the community to learn, connect and explore. The new facility provides opportunities and engagement for all, meeting its users wherever they are in life, with the flexibility to serve the unique needs of the community for decades to come.

Inspired by mischievous childhood in the kampong by the rainforest – climbing trees, launching friends into the air with tree branches, diving from the treetop into the pond, racing downhill on makeshift bicycles. Those were the good old days where life skills were learnt through fun and adventure. We live indoors, have sedentary lifestyles and are trapped in our own way of doing things.
There is a need to escape, literally and in our mindset. Endorphins are happy hormones, unlike adrenaline, which pumps you up in the face of danger. Bringing retro-eco fun to urban settings is another benefit that can entice children to switch off their computer games, get up to flex their limbs and indulge in the pleasures of physical activity
The new Masterplan of Kuala Terengganu, located at the edge of the city, envisions a transformational urban realm that celebrates the concept of Continuous Productive Urban Landscape (CPUL). With a deep commitment to sustainability and resilience, this visionary project reimagines the city’s open spaces as a network of vibrant, economically and environmentally productive areas. The strategic integration of productive landscapes into the urban fabric not only contributes to a sustainable and resilient food system but also enriches the city with a special quality, enhancing the lives of its inhabitants.
Concept: Continuous Productive Urban Landscape (CPUL)
The foundation of the Kuala Terengganu Masterplan lies in the concept of Continuous Productive Urban Landscape. This innovative approach envisions the city’s open spaces, parks, and public areas as multifunctional zones designed to promote sustainable agriculture, support local economies, and foster a stronger connection between urban dwellers and their natural surroundings. The CPUL concept emphasizes the integration of productive elements into the city’s fabric, creating a harmonious relationship between human activity and the environment.
One of the main goals of the project is to embody the connection of people with nature by contributing to the principle of Sustainable City Development through green infrastructure. The green park will function as a ‘Vertical City Lung’ which will be provided with public green spaces for the city inhabitant uses daily.
The functional purpose of this vertical green park can be greater biodiversity. The spreading green spaces contribute to the creation of a new layer of urban biodiversity. The presence of this new layer with plants that create habitat and food for species has a direct impact on the generation of wildlife corridors, which are essential for improving the quality of life and well-being in cities nowadays.
Series of Typha leaves grow naturally saw the hierarchy of growth of the plant. Likewise, human grows and at every stage of life requires a different environment and expect new experiences. Using the lightweight cantilevered structures, arranged in a loop, users can ascend through low inclined ramps. At every level users can experience different theme gardens, breathe in the fragrance of various flower species, listen to the beautiful sound of birds and in no time will reach the top most level.
The vertical green park was created for the whole family and community. It can be a playground for the children, as a meeting place for the youngsters and elders or as a knowledge-seeking centre of nature for everyone.
On a global aspect, the vertical park supports and contributes to the creation of a new layer of urban biodiversity. The presence of this new layer with plants that create habitat and food for species has a direct impact on the generation of wildlife corridors which are essential for improving the quality of life and well-being in today’s cities.
