INTRODUCTION

Task:In this assignment, we are given a task to propose a new project within our campus (Taylors University) not more than 30m x 30m that serves one of the following purposes:

1. Recreation Area

2. Study Enhancement Area

3. Rest Area

4. Food and Beverage Area

5. Commercial Area

Our group consist of two members: Koh Sung Jie and Ong Seng Peng. We want to propose a project for a Recreation Area.

Brief introduction of location:Taylor’s university establish in 1969, is recognised as Malaysia’s leading educational institution of higher learning. It has a revived 5.5 acres man-made lake, and is located at Subang Jaya, Selangor, Malaysia.

SITE ANALYSIS

Our chosen site for this project is located at Block E Level 2 balcony.

A view of the site upon entering the compound.

The area of the site is 30.00m x 18.91m. Its north point is faces Block E and its south end faces the parking lot as well as basketball court. Below the site are lecture theatres 17 and 20.

Introduction to the Construction Industry Final Project Page 5

The site is laid with concrete flooring and fenced with steel railings; only the north face is the entrance and the concrete wall of Block E. The overall site has no roof except the west face. The site is currently empty and serves no major purpose. There is no circulation within the site

The concrete floor with white painted steel railings for safety measures.

There is a roof constructed on the east face but it serves no major purpose to the site as nobody visits this place.

RATIONALE

Proposal:It is proposed to use the empty balcony of Block E level 2 towards a landscaping of a park. This would see the removal of the roof and its supports on the west side. The entire site would be utilised for recreation, be remodelled into grass with footpaths lined with trees, shrubs and lamps. Soil will be poured over the base.

Reasons:

Why we proposed to build a recreation area?We found that the campus lacks green space for students to interact with the green environment. From the site we also found that it is too concrete and lacks facilities that serve the students. Therefore, the action to renovate the site with a natural approach is necessary.

From the pictures on the left, we can see the concrete landscape from Block C through Block E. The picture on the right shows us the attempts made by the campus to make the place greener, but it is obviously insufficient.

Introduction to the Construction Industry Final Project Page 7

Why we chose Block E, level 2 balcony as our site for this renovation project?The site is an empty space and is available for people to access to site. The site is currently purposeless and being a recreation site would be a good purpose for the site. Also, since there is green space on one side of Block C, it would be wise to balance the green space proportions by strategically placing another beside Block E.

Why a recreation area in the first place?

Social Benefit

When a student is not studying or doing work in the campus, what does the person do as his/her free time in the campus? We compiled a series of leisure activities that the students can do within the campus:

1. Read books in the library.2. Interact in the student life centre.3. Eat/drink in one of the food kiosk or in the Commercial District.4. Immerse in a social media with phone.

Through observation, we can quickly deduce that No. 4 is the most popular activity in our campus as there is a mass influence in our generation. So a fifth option is introduced: Experiencing Nature in the Roof Park.

Of course, the students can not only experience Nature there, but also read a book, interact, eat or drink or even immerse in their phone at the place. It is the whole package in a single location.

Environmental Benefit

It is scientifically proven that the presence of plants can improve the surrounding air quality. Plants absorb the main pollutant of the air, carbon dioxide and release oxygen which is beneficial for the students’ health and thus reducing the carbon dioxide concentration around the area.

Next, plants reduce the overall temperatures of an area. As mentioned before, plants reduce carbon dioxide and other pollutants that trap heat. The trees provide natural shade which blocks the Sun and its heat.

Moreover, the park helps to insulate a building for sound; the soil helps to block lower frequencies and the plants block higher frequencies.

Psychological Benefit

A park can also help the students psychologically by decreasing stress of the people around the campus by providing a more aesthetically pleasing landscape.

CONCEPT

Proposed Site Plan

Scale 1 : 200

The quarried main pathway allows a general circulation for the students as they can congregate, interact or even organise events there. The cobblestone sub-pathway creates a typical park setting when the students use it.

The trees act as natural shades for the students when they are sitting on the bench or strolling on the cobblestone path.

The shrubs surround the park and blind the students from seeing the opposite balcony and the parking lots below.

Introduction to the Construction Industry Final Project Page 10

Green Roof

As the balcony is laid with concrete as its foundation, we have to pour soil in order for the plants to grow on it. So we must implement some Green Roof technology so that our park can be realised.

A green roof or living roof is a roof of a building that is partially or completely covered with vegetation and a growing medium, planted over a waterproofing membrane. It may also include additional layers such as a root barrier and drainage and irrigation systems.

A green roof consists of multiple layers in order to allow vegetation of plants.

Growing medium – Intensive soil mix which is suitable for grasses, shrubs and trees to grow.

Filter layer – Keep small particles from clogging the drainage layer.

Drainage layer – Stores rainwater.

Root protection layer – Prevents root growth into waterproofing.

Waterproofing membrane – Protects the roof structure from moisture.
