SITE AND ENVIRONMENT ANALYSIS

1.0 Site and Environment Analysis 1.1 Site Context & History The island of Penang located by the Strait of Malacca, on the Northwest coast of Peninsular Malaysia was an important trade route in the past for Europe, the Middle East, India and China. This history has resulted in the diverse melting pot of cultures in Penang.

- Georgetown, Penang’s main city with its unique and distinctive architecture is the result of the earlier British presence coalescing with locals. It holds the largest number of pre-war buildings in Southeast Asia and became a Unesco World Heritage Site in 2008.

CORE ZONE The Historic City of Georgetown covers the area of 109.38 hectares from Lorong Love Lane to Gat Lebuh Melayu and Jalan Dr. Lim Chwee Leong BUFFER ZONE The Core Zone is protected by 150.04 hectares of Buffer Zone, from Gat Perangin to Jalan Transfer

1.2 Site Description

The site is located at Georgetown at the border of the UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is located right beside 1st Avenue, Prangin Mall and Komtar. There are a row of historical shophouses with a canal on the site.

The site is considered as flat land and currently is a carpark to serve the surrounding shophouses. There is also the Sia Boey market which is one of the important landmark located beside the site.

In future, there will be railway transit located opposite of the site and the capacity of people passing the site will gradually increases. Hence, it is important to take into consideration on the effects of railway transit to the building on site.

1.4 Site Issues

Penang currently has an aging population which 10.2% of the residents being older than 60. The composition of young people in the state’s population has shown a significant and steady decline in the last 45 years. The decrease in percentages of the younger population shows some decrease in the “value� of children among the adult population.

Aging Populations in Penang

The site is surrounded with primary roads due to its surroundings of businesses and commercial areas. This not only become the tourist attraction site meanwhile causing traffic congestion due to the active activities around.

Traffic Congestion

There are no spaces for the interaction of the community around the site causing the community to be isolated with each others. As the main communities around are the elderly, they required interaction for helping each others, for health and entertainment.

DESIGN RESPONSE

2.0 Design Response – People and Place

PLACE

PEOPLE

People: Aging Population The elderly are the main communities on site and currently the communities are being isolated and lack of cares, physically and mentally.

Architect’s Proposal: The residential care units proposed for the younger generations (which will be the target groups for the residential units) to provide care for the old at the same time allow interaction of the young and elderly.

Places: Disconnected Movement Pattern The main movement patterns on site are the pedestrian and vehicular but there are lots of missing movement such as for the cyclist and senior citizen. There are no considerations and design provided to the cyclist, senior citizen and pedestrian.

Architect’s Proposal: The alfresco food streets proposed to provide the meeting places, shorten the travel distances and avenues for interaction to enhances a walkable and cyclable cities. The food streets will be mainly operates by the elderly and attracts the younger generations who likes to hunts for food especially in Penang.

Connect the Movement Pattern on Site

2.0 Design Response – Site Urban Mapping and Strategies

Green Link There are strong linkage of greenery on site. Hence, the building design integrate with lots of greenery as to continue the green link as to reduces the temperature at the area and on site.

Tourist Food Streets Penang are famous with their food and become the main tourist attraction in Penang. One of the most famous food streets located near the site which is the Jalan Kimberly. The idea of shifting Jalan Kimberly food streets into the site as the traffic congestion on that streets are no longer safe for people to eat by the road side.

Cyclable Cities The ideas of promoting cycling at the area as there are few residential nearby as to promotes the usage of the future LRT lines which proposed by the local government. Meanwhile this will reduces the traffic congestion on site and enhances a environmental friendly communities.

2.0 Design Response – Site Urban Patterns and Strategies

KOMTAR (Bus Terminal)

SITE (Interchange)

LRT TERMINAL

PATTERN 01 INTERCHANGE The site design to be an interchange, serves to connect the LRT terminal with the bus terminal located at Komtar by its accessibility and permeability of the site.

Connectivity between different transportation is relatively important as to ensure the web of transportation in Penang to be workable and efficient PATTERN 02 CONSERVING THE OLD BUILDINGS Conserving the old shop houses is to retain the memories of the site. As Professor Robert Powell (2016) mentioned in A Malaysian Pattern Language, “Old buildings are the repository of a nation’s memories. It matters not if they depict the colonial heritage, the Malay heritage, the Chinese heritage or the heritage of the Indian and Sri Lankan communities, they are all valuable assets.” Having the abandoned shop houses to be of mixed usage differentiated by day and night time aims to effectively utilise the buildings.

PATTERN 03 FIVE-FOOT WALKWAY By duplicating the five-foot walkways into the buildings which is designed to be located along the retails shops at the ground floor area of the residential blocks, the main purpose is to connect the pedestrian walkway from the green streets into the buildings and to the KOMTAR area. It is very common to find five foot walkways along row of shop houses in Malaysia especially in Penang

2.0 Design Response – Site Urban Patterns and Strategies PATTERN 04 GREEN STREETS In relation to the hot temperature on site which might affect the movement of pedestrians and cyclists around the site especially people from LRT terminals to bus stations, the pedestrian walkway and cyclist pathway are designed to be green streets (3) by adorning them with lots of trees and shrubs along the way. The green streets are able to reduce temperature and provide a more comfortable environment for the movement of pedestrians and cyclists. Besides, this greenery along the green streets act as a barrier and clearly defines the boundary between the pedestrian, cyclist pathway and the vehicular pathway to ensure safety.

RESIDENTIAL UNITS

COMMON /SHARED SPACES

INTEGRATION

PATTERN 05 COMMON LAND A common land plays an effective role in bringing people together. A lobby, corridor and centre court could also be categorized as common land. On each floor of the residential units, a shared space is provided for the neighbourhood to do gardening and have activities together. This shared spaces benefit the neighbourhood as people can exchange ideas or as a learning ground.

DESIGN NARRATIVE

3.0 Design Narrative 3.1 Conceptual Design – Design Statement RESEARCH QUESTION: How does the Inter-generational mix benefits to the aging population in Penang?

The Undulation – Fluid & Static - a Residential Care Centre providing facilities to the intergenerational mix community Currently, Penang has an aging population which 10.2% of the residents being older than 60. As to address the issue of aging population, the aim of the building design to attract back the younger population back into the area by providing a live-workplay environment. This mix development is programmed to meet the needs of the elderly currently staying nearby the site and the upcoming younger generations who are going to be the main dwelling in the building.

The urban choreography in the setting categorized into fluid and static. The fluidity refers to the transit oriented development which the railway station will be located in the future and the movement pattern of the pedestrian, vehicular and bicycle; the static refers to the solidity of the neighbourhood and the historical heritage which is the old shophouses surrounded the site. Using this concept, the building design in outer and inner ring. The inner ring designed to be static and in human scale as to maintain the historical heritage scale on site and link it with the modernity of the building by having different usage of materials. The outer ring design to be more fluid in bigger scale, creating the undulation movement to bring the flow of connection between the old houses surrounded the building with 1st Avenue and Prangin Mall.

The centre of the building programmed to be a food streets where to act as a pit stop for people to transit before proceed to the next location. Few abandoned shophouses remain on site for the purpose of dry market in the morning and bazaar during the night. The larger building divided into 3 blocks. One block function as bicycle parking with facilities (bicycle rental and workshop, lockers) provided as to promote a cycling friendly environment. The other 2 blocks are residential units with learning centre and wellness & care centre as to provide facilities to both elderly and the young generations. The canal, designed to have steps as seating for viewing the musical fountain as to celebrate the grand history of the canal and also act as an activity for elderly and kids to spend time together.

The target groups of the residential blocks are the younger age groups as to bring back the value of ‘elderly cares’. The elderly mostly afraid of isolation or loneliness and required lots of cares, both mentally and physically as they are not able to take care themselves anymore. The younger generations and the elderly forms an mutually beneficial relationship and hence balance the population of the communities in Penang.

3.1 Conceptual Design – Diagram

3.2 Response to site analysis - Conceptual Massing

PERMEABILITY The building to be accessible from al the important nodes surrounded the site as to allow easy diffusion of human movement pattern and encourage walkable city.

INCREASING DENSITY As building located at the transitoriented development, the building shall be dense enough to ensure the transit system are not under utilize.

CENTRE POINT All the sharp end of the building being chamfered as to allow a pleasant meet up spaces.

HEIGHTS OF BUILDING The building having different height to merge with the building surrounding context.

IN MOTION The building slightly twisted on each floor for the larger block of building to creates the fluidity on site while the smaller block remain to be static.

DESIGN STRATEGY

4.1 Proposed building component & Space breakdown FLEXIBLE LAYOUT Having different configuration and adjustable residential layout as to cater for the development and expansion of the family. Flexible layout allow the building to serve on to the continuous changes of the family .

Residential Unit Types: - 2 Bedroom Units ( Both Double Bedrooms) - 3 Bedroom Units (1 Double Bedroom + 2 Single Bedroom) (1 Double Bedroom + 1 Single Bedroom + 1 Study Room) CYCLING FACILITIES As to encourage more people to use bicycle to travel, it is important to provide facilities and to ensure cyclist safety. The cycling path especially along the main road is a must. The cyclist who might be using the Bicycle Parking mostly from the residential nearby within 4.8KM distance as the maximum travelling distance for bike is 4.8KM. FOOD STREET AS A PIT STOP This food street is an Alfresco food street, moving the whole Kimberly Street which famous with food stall along the road side into the building. Food street also served as a pit stop right after travelling using the bus or train before continuing their journey. This food street also turned into an attraction where people will come to hunt for food.

WELLNESS AND CARE CENTRE The wellness centre offer some service on health and activities to the elderly at Georgetown. The wellness centre aim to keep the elderly active and able to engaged in with the community. The care centre operates as a day care centre, taking care of infant, kids and children for the young couple and working adults which stays nearby.

5.2 Building Construction & Building Materials Designation of sun shading devices

Placed location: Northeast and Southwest Façade (receiving most sunlight) Types of shading devices:

SUN SHADING 02 – Sliding Timber Louvre Panel Placed Location: Residential Units (2nd Floor – 6th Floor) The sliding timber louvre panels allowed the users to control the amount of sun into the living rooms. The living room required different amount of sunlight based on the activities of the user in different time, hence it is more efficient to provide such a flexibility.

SUN SHADING 01 – L-shaped Aluminium Louvre Placed Location: Commercial Areas (Ground Floor – 1st Floor) As both Northeast and Southwest façade receive most of the sunlight throughout the day, L-shaped louvre able to screen off the excessive direct sunlight into the spaces as to avoid space get overheated.

5.3.1 JUSTIFICATION ON PLACEMENT OF SUN SHADING

5.3 Sun Shading 5.3.1Justification on Placement of Sun Shadings SUN PATH The proposed site is located on the coordination of 5.4142° N, 100.3288° E. On the stereographic sun path diagram show on the left, it shows the Southwest façade directly exposed to the sun from 1pm onwards where the sun started to get hot and shine on the building perpendicularly.

21st June (Azimuth angle) Sun rises : 66.36° Sun set : 293.64° 21st December (Azimuth angle) Sun rises : 113.46° Sun set : 246.53° 21st June (Azimuth angle) At 1pm : 14.85° 21st December (Azimuth angle) At 1pm : 172.04° As the site located beside 1st Avenue and Prangin mall, the Northwest Façade is well shaded by the tall buildings.

PROPOSAL For the building design, my attempt is to ensure the spaces at the Southwest façade to be shaded purpose is to control the heat gain into the building and reduce excessive sunlight into the spaces.

SHADOW CAST 21st June 0900-1800 Diagram on the left shows the shadow density during 9am to 6pm on 21stJune. The brighter level illustrates the less shade and receive more direct sunlight.

West facing of the site has higher level of shaded area while Southeast & Southwest facing is fully exposed to the sun. This stimulation shows that around 30% of the site is shaded.

21st Dec 0900-1800 However during this day, only a part of North west facing is shaded. This stimulation shows that around 15% of the site is shaded. The site is almost fully exposed to the sun.

PROPOSAL On June and December, the Southeast & Southwest faรงade is fully exposed to the sun as there is no tall surrounded buildings to provide shades. Hence, the placement of Gizmo at Southeast & Southwest faรงade will show the benefits of it on reducing the glare and heat into the buildings. But in this study, the Southwest faรงade will use for Gizmo study as considered on the direct sunlight into the building based on the sun path study (refer to the previous slide).

Warmest months

WIND Most of the wind in Penang rose from the direction of WSW, SW, SSW direction in the month of February to October. For November to January, the wind rose mainly from NNE. The warmest months in Penang will be on March and April and for the coolest month will be on the September. Hence, the wind direction from the WSW, SW, SSW direction is very important as to capture the wind into the building to have a comfort internal environment with passive design.

Coolest month

PROPOSAL For the building design, my attempt is to ensure the Gizmo placement at the Southwest faรงade able to help in capture winds into the building especially during the warmest month in Penang.
