INTRODUCTION

In this project, we are given a task to look for a suitable site of 30m x 40m to

initiate a project proposal. For our group, we are required to propose a project proposal at

our 30m x 30m site which located at Jalan Ramin 6, Bandar Ambang Botanic, 41200

Klang, Selangor.

Students have to study different types of building developments. Some research

and site visit should be carrying out to make this project complete.

SITE PLAN

KEY PLAN

LOCATION PLAN

Introduction to the site

The site that we had chosen is an empty area that was abandon which located at

Bandar Ambang Botanic.

This site was surrounded by some buildings and parking lots. The conditions of

this site are quite bad as it was abandon by others. Rubbish is all over this empty field.

Tall grass that grow inside this small field causes the increases number of insects.

But this site location is a good location for any development. The building

surrounded it can helps in the development.

HISTORY

At the early year of 2002, Gamuda Lands Bhd started to develop Bandar Botanic.

Before that it was only forest and empty fields.

This development is mainly for residential area as first. In year 2005, Gamuda

Lands also build some commercial areas and business areas in Bandar Botanic to give

work opportunities for the citizen.

The site we chosen which is at Jalan Ramin, Bandar Botanic was developed in the

year 2006. The project took 1 years and 3months to finish all the buildings in Taman

Ramin. The completed date was on July of 2007.

SITE ANALYSIS

SUNLIGHT

From the site, the sun is always visible until the day become dark, around 7pm

because there is nothing blocks the sun. Although it is surrounded by some buildings, but

the buildings are not tall enough to block the sunlight. So, the temperature during the day

time is quite high, is around 30-33 degree Celsius.

WIND DIRECTION

The wind flows from all the directions around the site, except from the east of the

site because the building is slightly taller. Those buildings blocked the wind flow from

entering the site. But the site is also very dusty because the flyover is just beside it. The

wind blow stronger from that direction and causes the dust to enter the site.

SOUNDS

Few sounds can be heard from the site. The winds sound is obvious as the wind

blow strongly towards the site. The car sounds can be heard also in the site. Cars that pass

by through the flyover and the road near the site can be clearly heard. Those sounds are

very irritating and most people will dislike it.

PROPOSAL A

SUGGESTIONS & PROPOSAL

Based on the research, I have selected “Recreational Area” as my study topic.

According to online dictionary, recreational area is a type of protected area

designated in some jurisdictions. In United States, National Recreation Areas are

administered by several different agencies. They typically do not meet the strict

guidelines to become national parks.

Community around the area needs spaces for relaxing and chilling after a long

day work or class. So, the design will be focus on closeness which can bring people

together with natural elements.

The design will bring people into a friendly, natural environment. Both hardscape

and softscape will be incorporate in the design. The right combination of hardscape and

softscape elements can ensure that you have an eye-catching design in place.

RECREATION AREA

In other hand, the design will bring people closer to one and another. The people

will get together to have a closer relationship with each other while having their own

privacy. They can have friends meeting, entertainment, small party and even stress-

relieving retreat.

CONCEPTS

OPEN AIR READING AREA

The site will build an open air reading area. So, the people who live around the area can

spent their time by reading books. You can just take a book away and should bring it back

voluntary or at least another one. The shelves are never closed; you can go there and take a

book whenever you want – 24 hours a day.

UNIQUE WOODY STAIRS

The woody stairs give a more calm and natural feel. It’s not just a stairs, but it can

also be the sitting area for people just to take a deep breath and enjoy the view of the

surrounding after a long period of work.

ENGLISH BOXWOOD

Often referred to as common boxwood this species is native to Europe, North

Africa and Western Asia. Most notable characteristics of this dwarf cultivar include a

tight growth habit and slow growth rate (averaging only 1” of growth per year with a

mature height of 3’). English boxwoods have a tendency to bronze in the winter and

mature shrubs are susceptible to boxwood decline, especially when grown in full sun.

LEYLAND CYPRESS

The tree had been identified as one of the easier growing coniferous trees. The

average heights of these trees are confined to a maximum height of three to four feet in a

year. The soil that is perfect for these trees should be within a PH level of 5.0 to 8.0.

Although it is tolerant towards boney dry soil, but it always prefers well drained soil.

Root rot can kill the plant.

RATIONALE

By doing researches, I found that Open-Air-Library in Magdeburg, Germany,

which designed by KARO is a good recreation area. For example, people can relax and

spending their time by reading books in an open air environment. Other than reading

books, people can just chit-chatting among themselves at the sitting area.

OPEN-AIR-

LIBRARY

Magdeburg, Germany

BENEFITS

By providing this space,

people can enjoy the good view and

able to rest comfortably. Also, people

can get to meet up freely with friends

in this calm environment.

The site is surrounding with

trees and groundcover that provide a

better air quality for community. As

it’s recreation area, the main purposes

for community is to relax. Open air

reading area and sitting area will meet

the requirement of relaxing.

In other hands, the garden is

not only for the nice view, but also for

cooling down the temperature of the

surrounding area.

MASTER PLAN

CONCLUSION

In short, this 30 x 40 site are proposed to initiate as a recreational area. The main

purpose to build the resting area in the site is to solve the issues of limited resting area

around the site.

After I fully understanding about the site, I started to plan the site based on our

chosen concept. I came out with some ideas after doing researches which can create a

different atmosphere as a recreational area.

Last but not least, I’d like to thank my lecturer and tutor for giving advices when I

face the problems while doing this assignment.

INTRODUCTION

We are given a task to investigate a site with 30m x 40m site. Investigation and

research for the site had been done with my group members, Loong Bolin. In this

proposal, I have to do the individual task which I have to determine the possibility of the

development for the site. Among industrial area, commercial area, residential area,

tourism area, recreational area and agriculture area, I think that tourism area is the most

suitable choice.

For tourism area, it is not necessary to have a big area or space. Even a 30m x

40m can be a tourism area. The main things for tourism area are the design or specific

things that interest others. For examples Taj Mahal, India, it is just a building and did not

occupy a big space. But, it attracts a lot of tourism to visit it because the design of the

building is a bit special compare to normal building.

So, I had chosen to do the tourism area for my 30m x 40m site. In this tourism

area will consist of interesting building to attract tourist.

Tourism Area

What is tourism area?

Tourism area is the commercial organization and operation of holidays and visits

to places of interest. To build an interest building, the design is very important.

THE CONCEPT

The concept of developing the site is related to natural habitats which consist of

aquatic and plants. To apply the concept in the development, building an aquarium as my

tourism main buildings is the most suitable. Other than that, green plants surrounding the

aquarium can also deflect the natural habitats of forest. The site will be like a park, but it

is a relax area. It is an open space and any legal activities can be done at there. For

examples, picnic, barbeque at night, fishing at the fish pond and etc.

THE SITE

In the site, I will be doing the tourism area as development. The site consists of an

aquarium. This is for the purpose of tourism. Plants and small building will also be

located around the aquarium. The rest of the empty space of the site will be some

roadway along the site, pathway with stepping stone, benches and other facilities for the

pedestrians. Some interesting statues are placed near the aquarium.

Why I choose tourism area and design the site like this?

To choose the site as tourism for the development is because of two main facts. In

the town which the site located does not exist any tourism building or place. Not the town

only, even the whole city do not exist this. Secondly, tourism is the only that less in the

city. If a city is full of business building, it will not attract tourism to visit it. The citizen

will also feel too boring to stay in such a dull city.

I design the site by building an aquarium in the center of my site. Plants are

surrounding the aquarium is because the road and flyover is just beside the site. The

plants can help to prevent dusty air from flowing into the site. The leaves of the plants

help to trap dust. There is also roadway along the site and pathway with stepping stones

for the pedestrians. Benches and other facilities or infrastructure are also provided. Those

interesting statues that are placed near the aquarium are to show that the aquarium is just

nearby.

How is the arrangement of the site (Where they located)?

Front entrance

In this tourism area, there are two entrances, one is the front entrance and another

is the back entrance. From the front entrance, the location of the aquarium is just in front

which is in the center of the site. The aquarium is surrounded by many beautiful plants

and flowers. To the front is the entrance of the aquarium. The ticket selling counter is just

at the entrance of the aquarium. At the entrance turn left, the resting zone is just there.

There will be benches for tourisms to rest there after tiring of walking around the area. At

the right consist of two ways which is the relaxing zone and the stepping stone pathway.

At the relaxing zone, there is gazebo. Tourists can relax at there and listen to the sounds

of nature at there. Foods and drinks are also allowed to bring into the relaxing area. Then

continue on with the stepping stone pathway. This pathway is for the tourists to walk

through and enter to the fishing zone. There is an exit from the aquarium which at the

middle of the stepping stone pathway.

Back entrance

From the back entrance, the fishing pond is clearly can be seen at the left. The

fishing zone needed a ticket per person to enter. The ticket selling counter is at the side of

the fishing pond. At the right is the green zone too but it is bigger in the area. This is for

the purpose for the tourist to feel closer to the nature. In this green area, many activities

can be done. For examples, cycling, jogging, etc.

The main building (Aquarium)

The aquarium is located in the center of site. The aquarium is in a sphere shape

and it is half- transparent. Tourists can see into the inside of the aquarium but is not clear.

Inside the building, there a cylinder shape, straight pathway. By walking along the

pathway, tourists can see the aquatic animals at their both side. And there are 3 levels in

this building. One of the levels is underground. And all the stairs to every level is at the

end of the pathway. At night there will LED lights that shine on the pathway. It make the

aquarium become more beautiful.

Conclusion

As a conclusion, to develop a site is not an easy thing. Building from the start

until the end consists of a lot of things such as design, idea, possibility, costing and etc.

Even a small site which only occupied 30m x 40m of land can cost us millions of budget.

So, think wisely and do more research before start to development a place. As the place

started develops, to stop or to change the development will cost more money and waste.

There is some successful development of towns that we can learn from.
