January – May 2023
PROJECT 3: 45% | Design Development | INTRODUCTION
Quoted by Professor Shuhana Shamsuddin, the author of ‘The Townscape Revisited: Unravelling the Character of the Historic Townscapes in Malaysia’,
"The city is like a book that can be read through the townscape. The composition of the townscape that achieves a sense of unity in design will give the observer a sense of delight and an enjoyable experience. The visual effects of the whole urban setting make the townscape distinct, having character, identity, and a sense of place. A good townscape will give a sense of pride to the inhabitants as well as delight the visitors with its uniqueness compared to other places they have visited."
Tanjong Malim has its own uniqueness and character. Experiencing the sites within the town helped us to understand the urban setting and the challenges faced by the locals. Although urban planning will not solve the issues entirely, it can still encourage more integrated activities focusing on the human environment and the betterment of the townscapes.

Project (Year 3- UNIT C)
January – May 2023
Group’s SWOT analysis on both sites A and B of Tanjong Malim gave an insight on the possible typologies to be further developed into possible propositions (UC 2023/01-05)
1. Development components (AR 518 & AR 718)
• Main programmes- Through the process of extracting and abstracting done in previous projects (P1 and P2), students have narrowed down their scope of study, site responses and literature review to a more personalised narrative form. Prior to the four (4) project themes: KNOWLEDGE ECONOMY, TRANSITORIENTED-DEVELOPMENT, INDUSTRIAL LINKAGE OF PROTON CITY & HISTORICAL TOWNSCAPE, the formulation of ideas and project approaches will result in variations of building typologies

• This will be shown via programmatic and physical interventions into the existing townscape. This will also formulate the potential spaces required to accommodate the intended design brief:
o Ancillary Spaces- Surau, Cafeteria, Gymnasium etc.
o Building Service Spaces- Loading and Unloading Bay, M&E Related Rooms, Toilets, Storage etc.
o Outdoor leisure / Recreational Spaces- A minimum requirement of 10% green space is required by law. Considering the scale of project built up vs site allocation, the park(s) may play an important role in understanding the fabric of open spaces and potential linkage between the existing social network and public interfacing of your proposal to promote societal inclusivity
• The Living Complex Components (Approximately 30% of the Built-Up Area)- SEMESTER 6 ONLY- Depending on the suggested programmes, the living component may consist of several typologies (hostels, studio units, twin sharing, common housing etc). Examples of accommodation with shared common facilities (to accommodate 50-80 pax): Shelter for the needy, Workers’ accommodation and other building typologies that can act as income generating component.
2. Design parameters for AR 518
• Total Gross Built Up Area : 2500m2 (Fully Enclosed and Covered) showing SOA in the board
• Land size- 1.5 acres of site area
• Minimum 2 Storeys – Maximum 4 Storeys
• OKU & Public Carpark Requirement: 30 nos (carpark calculation to be shown in the board)
• Building Typology - (1) Institution (2) Civic Building (3) Community Centre (programme-specific to project proposal)
• Maximum 3 (A0) portrait presentation boards
3. Design parameters for AR 718
• Total Gross Built Up Area : 3500m2 (Fully Enclosed and Covered) showing SOA in the board
