individual sites. In line with the theme of 'LivableKuala Lumpur', each group was then initiallytasked to propose public urban amenitiesrejuvenation programs with architectural and/or social strategies and propositions that couldelevate and invigorate the living qualities andfurther appreciation of each of the three urbancenters.

Livable Kuala LumpurSarizal Yusman Yusoff & Azizah Salim Syed Salim

Milieu and Objectives

Traditionally, since it first started in 2007, theUPM Bachelor of Architecture program hasconducted various urban studies on Malaysiancities and town centers which are outside ofKuala Lumpur and the Greater Kuala Lumpurconurbations. As this was the inaugural fifthyear architectural group of students to occupya new 'enlarged' studio space at the UPMFaculty of Design and Architecture, it isdecidedfor the studio to also shift from the 'traditional'norm and be valiant to identify the Malaysiancapital as the chosen city of study. As KualaLumpur is a relatively sizeable and dynamicinternational urban centre, detailed urbanstudies of only three chosen urban centers withinthe city, which are Bangsar, Pudu and Sentulare proposed. These three localities presenttheir own rich and localized diverse historicaland cultural prosperity that would provide thestudents with ample research avenues of thelifestyles and socia-cultural concerns affectingthe KLurbanites.

Bangsar, Pudu and Sentul studies

The first semester was delineated via the ARC4002 Advanced Architecture Studio programprimarily for macro site specific urban historicaland contextual studies of the three urbancenters with micro analytical studies of chosen

The 2011-2012 Year 5 group of 21 students wasevenly divided into three groups for the entireduration of two semesters of ARC 4002 andARC 4003. The site analysis of Bangsar, Puduand Sentul was carried out as a collectiveeffort among the 7 members of each group,with great encouragement and emphasis onstudents working on sites which would or couldbe neighboring to each other. This was quitesuccessfully done with the Bangsar group ofstudents of whereby 4 of the group membersworked creatively on the former Lever Brothersland at Jalan Bangsar, designing schemesthat actually link thematically and physically,while the Pudu and Sentul group were quiteindividualistic to a certain extent. Subsequentlyeach student was required to develop andpropose several potential projects andtypologies with probable sites for their individual'Comprehensive Design Project'. All projectswere encouraged to 'fall back' on the themeof making Kuala Lumpur more liveable as a city.

As the name implies, the UPMDepartment of ArchitectureYear 5 ARC 4003 architectural student project wasdesigned for a comprehensive study of architectural,construction engineering, economic, social and culturalsolution and to be site and context specific in an existingurban fabric. More importantly, the students are expectedto have reached and matured to an acceptable level ofartistic and technical competency, sufficient to satisfy theneeds and expectations of the international architecturaland building industry standards. They must also conform tothe full requirements of the Malaysian Board of Architectsstandards of an architectural education.

ARC 4003 is the ultimate design exercise in the formaleducation of every architectural student learning atUPM. It tests every student's ability first and foremost,as a team member and as an individual designer,towards achieving a personal competency to workon accomplishing a detailed analysis of a chosen site.Inclusive of understanding and interpreting all the desiqnrequirement of a chosen building design brief andprovision of appropriate spatial and functional aspect,establishing and demonstrating the construction designcriteria and methodologies and/or alternative noveltechnical architectural detail solutions. Those desiqnsolutions could have various environmental and economicadvantageous or disadvantageous implications on thetypology or chosen building type and achieving the mostappropriate aesthetic response that satisfies successfullythe design aspirations and original intent of the author.

The final architectural design solution should eventuallydemonstrate the student's ability to appreciate designappropriateness in terms of the specific needs of thetypical building user, environmental, social and culturalcontext in relation to the existing surrounding urbanenvironment. A matured understanding and appreciationof economic values, life-cycle cost in relation to designand construction with an environmentally sensitivearchitectural solution using Malaysian based green ratingtools are also encouraged to be demonstrated by thearchitectural students of ARC 4003.

Individual Projects

The selected projects in this publication are from theSentul group, namely the National Railway Museum atKLPac by Khairul Asri, the Sentul Indie Film Centre by TanLay Peng and the Sentul Botanical Research Instituteby Dave Tan. Each is from the Bangsar and the Pudugroup. The single submission that both represent theBangsar and Pudu groups were short-listed candidatesfor the 2013 Tan Sri Chai Sau Lai architectural students'award (national). The drawings and artefacts of both theAngkasapuri Symphony Arena by Azharol Kaspol and thePudu Creative Hub by Nurlaila Izyan were displayed atthe Kuala Lumpur 2013 Archidex Exhibition together withthe other short-listed candidates from other architecturalschools in and outside of Malaysia.

Sentul East: Indie Film and Music VillageAzizah Salim Syed Salim & Sarizal Yusman Yusoff

Many developments in Kuala Lumpur are moving towards the achievementof a liveable city. Sentul East lacks facilities, amenities, infrastructures andactivities which promote liveable lifestyle for the local community. Hence, thedevelopment in this part of Sentul is a fortuitous opportunity for Kuala Lumpurto be redesigned and revitalised by adopting the humanity attributes of otherglobal liveable cities. Film and music have become the common art andentertainment media which cater for different category of society in Sentul.The main key proposal in this project is to look into the provision of adequateinfrastructures for fast and cost-efficient connectivity of people; and at thesame time to dedicate assembly areas for art, cultural and civic amenities. Indiefilm and music neighbourhood parks, cinematic art galleries, and academy willbe beneficial for the community in Sentul East and hence improve the currenteconomic environment and social sustainability. The project functions as aconnector and catalyst between architecture, people, nature and cinematicand performing arts industry.
