Bath house on the Green integrated project Tutors: Alistair Forbes, Colin McNeish 2012 Year 4
brief The design of a large (approx. 3000 sqm) programatically simple, multi-functional urban building. The building is required to be set within a specific urban character, and developed to a detailed level sufficient to demonstrate the relationship between their overall architectural concept, spatial quality and related technical and environmental considerations.

paths
surrounding urban fabric
site and approach Glasgow Green is dominated by straight, geometrically-arranged paths and regular landscaping, a legacy of Victorian planning. However, the border of the park is poorly defined. The first move was to nestle the bath house into a grove of trees, in deliberate contrast to the regular planting around the Green. This serves two functions: a softer definition of the boundary between park and city, and a visual backdrop for the bath house.
central path + articulation of spaces
The building punctuates an axis formed by one of the paths in Glasgow Green, with significant features at either end. 1 McLellan’s Arch An artefact of historical significance that achors the axis from the end of the city centre.
2 Straight pathway A legacy of the victorian planning, which established regular, geometrical pathways and formal landscaping 3 Stone-flecked paving The red stone flecks echo the colour of the commonly-used red sandstone in Glasgow

3 Stories of Space : A new narrative Master of Architecture thesis Supervisor: Jonathan Charley, David Hasson 2013 Year 5 The M Arch project presents, in graphic and narrative format, experiences of human living in the town and the city. The author compares her most recent experiences of the city with that of her parents’ and grandparents’, whether with the identity of a small town or city-dweller. Within each generation a trend in the usage of space is immediately obvious, illustrating the impact of socio-economic realities such as the regional and global occupational structure have on the way humans and space interact—within the conained geographical region of Malaysia.

historically significant events social, economic and political context
The following timeline briefly describes the social and economic context specific to the experience of a first, second and third generation Chinese immigrant in Malaysia. As the storeis are presented with limited comment from the author, it is hoped that the reader can draw their own conclusion, with some knowledge of historical context, of how these events and legacies affect the production and consumption of space.
1824 Britain establishes its influence over the Malay states and Sabah and Sarawak (Borneo) through treaties and taking advantage of social instability. By 1910 the Malay states are a crown colony. 1869 Yap Ah Loy becomes Chinese Kapitan of Kuala Lumpur, by then a Chinese-majority city, and establishes order.
Late 1800’s — Early 1900’s Third wave of Chinese migrants arrive in Malaysia, mostly displaced from the southern region of China riddled with hardship. This coincides with the discovery of large deposits of tin, and subsequently encouraged migration from the British, who set up Chinese workers in the tin mines and rubber plantations.
1941 Malay Peninsula invaded by Japanese troops from the north. The last British troops surrendered in February 1942. Japanese rule lasts for 3 years and 8 months, and similar to the British, establish a racial policy, further driving rifts. 1948 The Federation of Malaya is formed. Kuala Lumpur becomes the capital. 1957 The Malay states achieve independence from British rule, becoming Malaya. 1963 Singapore, Sarawak and Sabah join Malaya to form the Federation of Malaysia.
1969-1990
Aggression and the New Economic Policy
1969 After decades of racial tension, violence erupts after an election. After two days of violence the government declares a state of emergency and parliament is suspended. 1971 Parliament reconvenes and the New Economic Policy is introduced with the aim of eliminating poverty (particularly rural poverty) and to mitigate the discrepancy of wealth along racial lines.
1980-2000
Progress and the New Development Policy
1980's Mahathir Mohamad, then Prime Minister of Malaysia, actively implements liberal economic policies, such as privatisation of government enterprises in addition to affirmative action by the New Economic Policy. 1991 Mahathir introduces the National Development Policy to replace the NEP, aiming to transform Malaysia to a fully developed country within 30 years. Key moves include shifting from an agriculture-based to a manufacturing and industry-based economy, liberalising financial regulations to attract foreign investment, and massive infrastructure projects ie. the Petronas Twin Towers.
1997
Financial crisis
1997 Asian financial crisis affects Malaysia deeply. The main stock exchange index falls by over 75 percent, alleviated after Mahathir cuts spending and pegs the Malaysian Ringgit to the US Dollar. This pushes Malaysia to recover much faster than the surrounding countries, encouraging prosperity.
1980-2000 Today
2000's Malaysia experiences remarkable economic growth and a drastic increase in living standards. Unprecedented numbers of migrant workers from neighbouring countries enter the country to fill in low-skilled, low-paid jobs, leading to polarisation in the occupational and social structure. 2007 Under increasingly blatant corruption within the ruling coalition, the Bersih rally is organised and held in Kuala Lumpur to campaign for electoral refor--remarkable because mass protests and rallies are illegal in Malaysia unless with an official permit, and this is the first protest at this scale. Estimates of number of attendees: between 10,000 to 40,000.

Life is Work
stories from a hawker’s family
My maternal great-grandfather and grandparents were hawkers in a small town in Malaysia. Similar to my paternal grandfather, who was a tailor, they went into a trade and remained there their whole lives. Their days were essentially fully occupied with labour and production as a means to a living. When I pressed for recollections of other activities and spaces, I was met with blank stares. How much does your work define your life and the spaces you live in? This book is the culmination of a series of interviews I conducted with my family, in an attempt at understanding the way my grandparents worked and lived. This is an excerpt. For the full stories go to: issuu.com/tanyunru
In those days we didn’t have this modern concept of work. People’s concerns were focused on the basic necessities: clothes, food, a place to stay and [necessary] movement, the simplest things. Either you were a tailor, or a farmer, or a shopkeeper; just a simple job with a simple identity. There were hardly any 9 to 5 office jobs like today.
When I think back on my hometown, the places I think of are the school, our stall; these were our family places. And of course the house... the room in which all of us used to live, plus the road to school, the one I walked down everyday. There is the house down the road, about 20 houses away I think—where we could get food sometimes. So our lives were very simple. Go to school, take our dinner afterwards, come back home, and study in our room.
bus journeys to the city
earning my right to the city
I remember sitting in the bus to go to the city. In the small town, I felt very relaxed, and as the bus neared Kuala Lumpur, I would naturally tense up—well, it wasn’t at all a nice feeling. In the small town you feel very relaxed, but to go to the city and you feel like it’s a very intense, high-pressured place, a fast-paced place—I just didn’t like going to the city. There was always this strong feeling of wanting to go back to the tranquil, peaceful hometown, where everything’s slow. And it took many years to overcome that feeling.
At this moment, I feel like I have a right to the city. This is to do with the sense of security, I think. If you feel secure, you will like the place, and feel like you belong. When I first came to work, from the town, I always felt so so insecure. Even after I bought the first apartment, I still felt like—because we got it on a mortage—it felt like we hadn’t finished, and could lose it and become homeless. It was only after we bought the second house, and the apartment was fully paid out, that I felt like there was a backup plan. Then I felt more secure (with emphasis).

A Town and Two Cities a story of place and movement
This book presents excerpts from an interview of an interview conducted by me to my father. The interview facilitated his personal reflections on the places of his everyday life, which began in a small town, and continued into the “big city”, which is the capital of Malaysia: Kuala Lumpur, where he began his time in university. After he graduated, he married my mother and they lived in a small rented room close to the city while they both worked. As their financial situation improved, they bought a small flat, and eventually moved into a house in the suburbs,one of the many in the sprawling housing estates around the city. They live there now with their children. This is an excerpt. For the full stories go to: issuu.com/tanyunru

My City is Yours
stories of privatisation in Kuala Lumpur My City is Yours sounds genial enough. The natural implication is then, what is your city should be mine. But how willing are we to share what we perceive to be ‘our’ space? And what measures would we be willing to put in place, to ensure what is mine remains mine? For that matter, who is ‘you’? The underprivileged citizens of the city, or the state with its near-omniscent power over spaces of the city? This book is a collection of anecdotes from the author and her peers, all of whom witnessed their home city, Kuala Lumpur grow more hostile and exclusionary to the wrong type of person. These stories offer a peek into everyday life in a city in which space, initially public or otherwise, has been strictly delegated and enforced as private. This is an excerpt. For the full stories go to: issuu.com/tanyunru
While working on a new housing development during my brief stint in an architecture office, I realised that “gated and guarded” had become a matter of course. Architects are asked to design a guard house together with the housing development. Some developers do not bother getting planning permission for a guard house and simply put one up after the building warrant is handed over, and almost all photoshop a guard in uniform into their promotional images as a necessary prop.
Strangely enough, people have begun to identify themselves in relation to places that cater specifically to their consumption: the public space of the city does not welcome me, so I shall go to a place which welcomes me. Someone recounts a workshop in which participants were asked to draw landmarks of their area, and a participant couldn’t think of anything significant except the Light Rail Transit station. In the end he drew the station and the motorway next to it—both routes of connection to these islands of consumption.

Re-organisation of spatial form: In search of a new narrative
The thesis details appropriate urban strategies at varying scales at different points along Glaisnock street, including regeneration of old fabric, replacing or removing buildings, and infilling the interior of blocks that have been hollowed out by parking. The result is a series of public and private spaces in the town centre of Cumnock, linked by a socially viable main street. The functional programme is one that presents a new narrative for Cumnock: by relocating and expanding Cumnock Community College, an overlooked local asset.
Town Centre Good mix of functions, land use and accessibility of functions, as expected of the historic centre of a town. Pedestrian accessibility is somewhat compromised by the river. The network connectivity scores reasonably well but the number of cul-de-sacs is quite high for a central area. Reconnecting them to other streets will improve the connectivity of the area.
Comparitive analysis was conduced in selected study areas to provide a quantitative evaluation of the physical fabric of the town. A sample of two key areas relevant to the masterplan is presented here for further understanding of the current conditions.
Caponacre Industrial Estate Performs poorly all around: few building types and land uses present, and extremely low walkability. The network connectivity is deceptively high due to the number of pathways in the cemetery which is included in the study area but this can safely be ignored since there are no accessible functions.
A New Narrative for Cumnock Through time Cumnock has been reliant on production of physical goods. Although this has failed the town in context of a recent world, “production” can be in a different manner: from physical capital dependent to intellectual capital dependent, and tangible product (physical product) dependent to intangible product (services) dependent. Therefore it is proposed that Cumnock Community College, a draw for students in the area, be expanded and relocated. The college currently offers courses including computing, vocational training, and routes to higher healthcare, offering potential employment.

The College is currently located in Caponacre Industrial Estate. The masterplan proposes to remove the big boxes currently in the industrial park and replace them with fabric that interacts and contributes to the public sphere rather than insulates human activities inside. It includes provisions for a series of plot-based buildings that are adaptable but mainly purposed for teaching and learning. The spaces will focus on the “production” of human capital with skills to succeed in a post-industrial, services-based economy.

Interventions
In addition to the masterplan, six small objects were design as interventions in the spaces along the street. These are much smaller in scale than the masterplan: a bridge linking the spaces across the river, a library for the college, and a performance pavillion, among others. Aside from repairing the fabric of the town, these objects find their form from the main events, places and needs of the town and its people.

Intervention: Cumnock A-Frame “In one sense it seems like only yesterday we were in the throes of the Miners Strike, yet in so many other ways it seems light years away. Council houses weren’t for sale, call centres hadn’t been invented and credit cards were a novelty for the few. The Strike may still be a vivid memory for many of us but for a whole new generation it is only a piece of our history. All the more reason why we should strive to keep the memory alive.” S. Osborne, 25 Years since the Miners’ Strike The boom of the mining industry, in Cumnock’s heyday, are still a fond memory of the townspeople’s collective consciousness. For the new square, the intervention proposed is a large A-frame in the middle that answers the church in the old square.

Intervention: new squarefront The building fronting New Glaisnock Square is intended to be the quarters of the (expanded) Cumnock Community College. However, allowances are made for changes in size of the college, which called for a flexible approach to the building. The plot-based approached had worked well in the old square, and allows for the easy adaptation of the squarefront as the needs of the college change.

normal use: narrow shopfronts on ground floor while college occupies upper floors for specialist use
Intervention: performance pavilion The site of the old Cumnock Picture House, where the community used to congregate, sits empty today save for a few cars. It is a conspicuous gap in the streetscape, and a displacement of place strongly tied to social activities. Christine Leith, in a letter to the Cumnock Chronicle: “only in Cumnock can demolition be reconstitued as regeneration. Many other local authorities would be mortified at the thought of knocking down such an iconic building.” The performance pavillion seeks to introduce a point of interest along the high street, and the new building behind acts as a base for the East Ayrshire Youth Theatre. 1
