3D Perspectives

1.0 Site and Environment Analysis 1.1 Site Introduction Site Description TERENGGANU Terengganu is a sultanate and constitutive state of federal Malaysia, located by the South China Sea, with a capital city of Kuala Terengganu. Terengganu situated on the trade routes and emerged as one of the earliest Malay state to receive Islamic. Terengganu KEY PLAN is divided into 8 district which is Besut, Dungun, LOCATION PLAN Hulu Terengganu, Kuala Terengganu, Kuala Nerus, Kemaman, Marang and Setiu. The total population of the Inner city is 1,153,500.

KAMPUNG CINA, KUALA TERENGGANU Kampung Cina, one of the Chinatown with the early presence of Chinese settlers located in Kuala Terengganu at the river mouth of Terengganu River. It is a small town but rich with Peranakan culture by having colourful shophouse along the streets. The site is located along Jalan Kampung Cina located right at the point where Jalan Kampung Tiong merged with Jalan Kampung Cina. The front view from the site are the colourful shophouses, showing the traditional faces of Kuala Terengganu; while the rear view looking at the Pulau Warisan, aman made sand island built by the local authority as to deepen the sea.

1.2 Site Context

SUN PATH DIAGRAM

WIND ROSE DIAGRAM

The site does not have the direct facing of west and east, front faรงade of the building facing Southeast while the rear faรงade facing Northwest . Thus, the building does not exposed to sun entirely.

The wind rose diagram shows that the winds from NNE and SSE are most common compare to the wind blow from other direction.

1.2 Site Context

FUNCTION OF SURROUNDING BUILDING The location of the site has been equipped with the basic amenities such as commercial shop lots, hotel, temple and a church. Most of the surrounding buildings function as commercial and F&B business are blooming.

The adjacent building on the right side is a commercial electrical shop, and the left side is the F&B, Madam Bee’s Kitchen.

SURROUNDING GREENERY

The greenery mostly located only along Jalan Pulau Warisan. There are a significant tree located at Jalan Kampung Tiong. It can be seen that the greenery around the site is limited.

1.3 Site Issues

There are no public spaces along Jalan Kg.Cina to serve the community for social activities, meet up spaces, places as a rest station for seating and waiting. There are not many greenery around the site caused the area to be hot and lack of shading.

Lack of Public Spaces and Greenery

Kg.Cina turns into a tourist attraction after the efforts of the community to promote Peranakan Festival and as a transit town for tourist travel to Pulau Redang. Although Kg.Cina attracted many local and international tourist, there are no public amenities provided.

Lack of Public Amenities for tourist

The non-continuous of the five foot way infront of the shophouses caused the place to be non-pedestrian friendly as the pedestrian sometimes have to walk on the main road .The long continuous stretch of shophouses with only few alleys caused the accessibility of the pedestrian to be not flexible from Jalan Kg.Cina to Jalan Pulau Warisan and vice versa.

Non- Pedestrian Friendly

2.0 Design Response 2.1 Community Needs

Social Studies – Interview with the residence and community Purpose: Identify and understand the community’s need currently and for future development as tourist attraction location.

Current needs of the Community - Peranakan

Architect’s Proposal

The Peranakan culture in Kuala Terengganu currently facing extinction, hence the community required a place for cultural promotion. The residence are mainly elderly and able to promote their culture by selling or teaching the traditional skills meanwhile earn side income to support their living. The community also required a place for social activity to have their communities meeting, and events.

Community centre with : Life Long Learning Centre Kiosk Exhibition Gallery Multipurpose Hall / Auditorium

Future Development - Tourist As a transit town and rich in Peranakan culture, Kuala Terengganu becoming popular as a tourist attraction for local and international visitor. Hence, the community request to have public amenities especially for the tourist.

Community centre with : - Visitor Interpretive Centre - Public spaces as a rest station

2.2 Respond to Site 1.

Respond to the surrounding building’s height

As to have the continuity of the whole strip of the old shophouses, only 2 storey of the building is visible from the street level.

Second floor and third floor design to set inwards as to be hidden.

2.

Respond to the temporal activity

As to promote the Peranakan culture, the community had make an effort on organizing the Peranakan festival. The front side of the building design to have a stairs which serve as a public space for the public as a gathering point and seating during the Peranakan Festival.

Venue to held Peranakan Festival

3.0 Design Narrative 3.1 Conceptual Design – Design Statement

The Inclined Alley -

a centre for the appreciation of Peranakan culture

The alleys of Kampung Cina, Kuala Terengganu, are well near the strongest attraction on offer to any visitor. As an architectural typology they are perhaps the single collective element that distinguishes Jalan Kampung Cina and its buildings as an unique Peranakan place. The alleys establish the character of Kampung Cina.

I was impressed by the way the Peranakan community use these narrow spaces for the public exhibition of their history and culture. Taking this cue I used the idea of the ramp as the generator of space and form in my proposed Peranakan centre. I see the ramp as an extension of the grounded alleys into the vertical dimension in a smooth continuous flow. The ramp also as enactment of the evolution of Peranakan, from the original adulterate to hybridization and come to the present dilution of the culture.

The Peranakan centre is programmed to meet the need of the community for a facility to frequently showcase their culture, and this reaches a highpoint in the Peranakan Festival which is held twice a year. An auditorium, encircled by a continuous ramp, serves this function – as well as the regular need for meeting places. The ramp itself is an inclined platform for exhibiting cultural artefacts and for selling local arts and crafts by commercial kiosks along the journey. This composition is an allusion to the pressing need to restore, promote and sustain Peranakan culture as the core of the challenges facing the community. Interior spaces are off the rectilinear to evoke the movement of Peranakan dance.

On the side facing Jalan Kampung Cina (the main thoroughfare) steps stretch across almost the entire width of the building lot to anchor the Centre into the circulation network of this heritage town. The steps conjoin themselves to the square at the side of Ho Ann Kiong Temple to reinforce this public space as the main (and only) civic gathering place of the local community.

3.1 Conceptual Design – Diagram The ramp, representing the timeline of the Peranakan culture, as an enactment of the evolution of the culture, from the original adulterate to hybridization and come to the present dilution of the culture. The timeline connects the contrast between the past which is interpreting the historical context with the present. Same as the site which having a traditional faces along Jalan Kampung Cina and modern architecture on Jalan Pulau Warisan. The building serving as a connectivity to reconnect Jalan Kampung Cina and Jalan Pulau Warisan.

The bended alleys turn into concept of ramp (exhibition gallery)

Alleys at Kampung Cina: Payang Memory Lane, Eco Lane, Turtle Alley

3.2 Response to site analysis - Conceptual Massing

Proposed 4 storey building

Detached from the adjacent shophouses and stagger each of the floors.

Set inwards for the continuity of five-foot way

Separated the building into 3 portion and categorized spaces into ‘Core with Circulation, Supportive Spaces and Interlude Spaces.

Porosity at Ground Floor for diffusion and connects both Jalan Kg Cina and Jalan Pulau Warisan

Spaces connected vertically with core and the circulation

4.0 Design Strategy 4.1 SWOT Analysis STRENGTHS - easily accessible through main streets and roads - vibrant street atmosphere especially in the morning - diverse culture along the street - fusion culture

OPPORTUNITIES - Traditional businesses - Job opportunities for the younger generation - Retirement accommodation - Homestay - Cultural Study - Tourist Destination - Cultural Promotion

WEAKNESSES - not disabled friendly - lack of natural shading/greenery - poor drainage - bad traffic circulation - lack of friendly public spaces which are well designed - lack of public amenities - lack of carpark - unsafe during night time THREATS - poor traffic management/ no traffic alternative as Jln Kg. Cina is one way road - street does not has a sufficient lightings which creates insecurity to the pedestrian - lack of job opportunities for the local community - demolition of building facade - dying of Peranakan culture

4.2 Proposed building component & Space breakdown CORE The auditorium selected to be the centre core in the building as it is the main programme on promoting Peranakan culture with the Peranakan dances. The Peranakan dances are the main attraction during the Peranakan festival.

CIRCULATION The circulation of the building form by ramp which contain the exhibition gallery. The ramp idea inspired by the alleys at Kg. Cina. The alleys establish the character of Kg. Cina and are the popular tourist attraction.

The space of the building categorized into 4 component: 1. Core – Auditorium 2. Circulation – Exhibition Gallery Ramp

3. Supportive Spaces – Learning Spaces - Life Long Learning Centre - Artistic Movement Studio 4. Interlude Spaces - Lettable Retail - Kiosk - Cafe

SUPPORTIVE SPACES The supportive spaces are those spaces which provide a detail form of comprehend on Peranakan culture. As to have a broad knowledge on the culture, there are 2 type of learning spaces design to be as part of the programme. One of it is the life long learning centre to have workshop such as art and craft, and culinary learning; Another one will be the artistic movement studio for learning of drama and Peranakan dances.

INTERLUDE SPACES As the journey of appreciating the Peranakan culture might be too excessive, interlude spaces act as a buffer or break spaces to let the visitor to take a rest before continuing the journey. The interlude spaces included the lettable retail, kiosk and café. The lettable spaces are to ensure the community centre able to be self sustain, the kiosk mainly selling the Peranakan craft by the elderly Peranakan residence for earning income to support their living. The café will be mainly serving Peranakan food and the kuih to let the visitor to feel the culture with their senses.

5.3 Lighting 5.3.1 Sun Path+ Shadow Analysis The analysis on sun path and shadow of the site aim to identify the shades of the adjacent building which able to benefits the site on temperature control and human comfort. As the month of June would be occur to be having highest temperature throughout the whole year, thus the date was chosen for the analysis.

As the highest building around the site occurred to be only 4 floor height, there are not much shadow provided by the adjacent building which caused the site to be relative in higher temperature. The rear side of the building have some greenery in providing shading, but the amount of the greenery are minimal which does not provide sufficient shading to lower down the temperature of the site.

5.3.2 Natural daylight study – Movable Louvre Window

The movable louvres allowed the user to control the amount of sunlight to be accessible into the building. The louvres meanwhile helps to control the excessive glare which will caused the heat gain into the building as the glass having a slightly higher U- value than other materials.

Sunlight when louvres totally in open state

Sunlight when louvres slightly closed blocking the direct sun shine directly on the glass

5.3.3 Natural daylight study -Skylight As to allow nature lighting to the exhibition gallery (ramp) which is attached with the adjacent shophouse party wall, skylight is installed as to reduces the usage of artificial lighting.

The adjacent party wall and the roof extension above provide shading and hence only certain time the sunlight will directly shine on the skylight. This reduces the heat gain into the building from the roof.

5.4 Acoustics 5.4.1 External noise solution – Building Set inwards

Jalan Pulau Warisan

Jalan Kampung Cina

The main source of noise are from Jalan Kampung Cina as it is a busy road with vehicle passing by especially during morning 8.00am9.30am and evening 5.00pm – 8.0pm. As the shophouse having the front façade facing straight to the road with only 5 meter distance, the noise transmit into the building easily. As to solve the issue, the proposed building design to be away from the streets. The spaces are being set in to increase the distance from Jalan Kampung Cina to reduce the disruption due to the outdoor noise.

5.4.2 Internal noise solution - Auditorium (Sound Insulation) The auditorium required acoustic design and sound insulation is an important element to be considered to treat the reverberation and echo in the space.

Element to be considered: • Wall To insulate the sound bounce back by the wall, the wall fixed with 50mm thick Fabric Wrapped Acoustical Wall Panels. This panel is formed by high density glass fibre with acoustic transparent fabric. • Ceiling Installation of ceiling reflectors (clouds) which function as sounds reflector, reflecting the sound from stage to the audience at seating areas.

MS1525

40 30 20 10 0 Proposed Building

According to MS1525, the overall thermal transfer value (OTTV) is designed for air-conditioned buildings that should not exceed 50W/m2. The Peranakan Community Centre achieved 47.6W/m2 which is still considered an energy efficient building envelope that can sustain throughout the day and night as it does not exceed the value of MS 1525.

a. Building orientation The building doesn’t have the direct facing of west and east, front façade of the building facing Southeast. Hence, the exterior walls of the building aren’t exposed to sun entirely. The overall heat gain is relatively lower. Besides, it does not have heat gain on the front façade as most of the building being set in. b. Fenestration The OTTV value almost exceed the requirement value, one of the reason is due to having quite large surface of glass façade at the North-West, facing the sea view where heat gain through the glass.
