with connections and pedestrian walkability
The located site is bounded mainly by the hard edges or the urban typology. The formation of soft edges have also created a sense of pedestrian barrier and disconnection between the lake and the public. In terms of pedestrian walkability, the connections are mainly around the main edges of highways and main streets with provided facilities such as underpassages and pedestrian bridges only. Hence, creating an incoviniency towards users who wishes to visit without their own vehicles.

Jalan Chan Chin Mooi
SITE PERMEABILITY Vehicular Access
Site 2 could be accessed from the main highway (Jalan Tun Razak) and also from the north (Jalan Chan Chin Mooi). Hence, its accessibility would be much smoother. Site 3 could only be accessed from the one way street (Jalan Tembeling) from Jalan Tun Razak. However, it would be inconvenient if they arrive from the east or north as users might need to take a lap to arrive to site.
Entrance from Tun Razak Highway
Site & User Response
Jalan Chan Chin Mooi
SITE PERMEABILITY Pedestrian Access
Poor pedestrian walkability towards the park when arriving with public transports due to the pedestrian barriers that have isolated and disconnected the street network. Also, it is due to having mainly private and semi-private government sectors on the east and south.

PUBLIC REALM Interaction
Garden Buffer Site 3
Istana Budaya Headquarters
Comparison of both sites To compare with, Site 2 has stronger public relation and interaction.
Government Property
Istana Budaya
Buffer Zone Jalan Berserah
Tasik Titiwangsa Jalan Tembeling
The buffer zone of Site 3 creates a sense of separation and privacy within the site. Hence, creating lesser interaction between the space with the active public realm.
Site & User Response
