1. Introduction to the site

1.1 Background The site is located in Subang jaya “commonly called USJ” which is a major residential township in Selangor Malaysia. It consists of sections which range from USJ 1 to 27. The construction of USJ started in 1988 and was developed by sime UEP. In recent years the town has established plenty of new commercial developments to cater the high population of middle class and upper-class residents.

1.2 Landmarks/ LocationThe summit hotel and local hypermarkets such as giant and mydin are located just beside the site. Summit is the oldest hotel in the township which can be seen from a long distance and hence it is an easy landmark to recognize the site. Moreover the site been located in the middle of the hypermarkets on Persiaran subang permai road is an advantage making it easy to identify.

5.1 Mission, vision and objectives of the proposed plan.

Mission; is to enhance the quality of life through outdoor recreation, leisure and experiences.

Vision; provide sustainable well maintained outdoor recreational experiences through biking, walking and inspiration towards arts from the outdoor gallery.

Objectives1. Preservation of nature2. Inspire people towards mother nature and green spaces 3. Attract and innovate people to use open public spaces



5.2 Description of the proposed plan

In an urbanized area, open green spaces and recreational facilities are important inoder to make communities desirable places to live. Moreover it emphasis people to develop healthy lifestyles, strong minds and fit bodies.

The proposed empty land is located in the middle of commercial, residential and tourism zone along with other facilities. There are no affordable, safe open spaces to satisfy the needs of the people living nearby. Hence with all the research, I have decided to propose a recreational area to meet the value of the citizens. First of all what is a recreational area? It is a public private land for rest, relaxation and satisfaction including a variety of sports and other activities.

The proposed plan will include open green spaces along with seating area and an ecofriendly open art gallery. The concept is designed in a way to attract both citizens and tourists providing great aesthetics and satisfaction. The outdoor art gallery is made of solar powered frame beds which inspired the shape and name from the bluebonnet flower and it generate energy and is followed by a unique shadow walkway. Moreover the interior will be white which will give neutral backdrop to the artistic works. The ecofriendly structure harnesses power from the sun, and the generated electricity is utilized to power the displays during night. Furthermore the structure will be constructed from recycled steel frames. This concept mainly focuses on the tourists interests. While on the other hand the seating area consists of an artificial water fall that flows throughout the day giving a relaxing sound inspiring you towards nature.

Since my proposal is based on landscaping, landscape architectures are involved in designing, planning and managing the land form. They design areas that are not functional and works closely with landscape contractors, planners



and land surveyors. Moreover they go through different construction phases from the inception to the final stage of the proposal.

5.3 Market analysis and user characteristics

Current demand is primarily focused on resting areas for customers from hyper markets which is giant and Mydin. Furthermore a concept to attract tourists who are staying in summit hotel.

The following table shows the users or the target markets located nearby the neighborhood of the proposed land.

5.4 The rationale benefits and impacts of your project to client and surroundings

The proposed landscape project is a combination of a recreational and commercial unit giving it special feature and uniqueness. This concept mainly focuses on providing open green space for the citizens and a tourist attraction, increasing the level of economic benefits to the surrounding area.

The proposal offers numerous social, economic, environmental, physical and personal benefits to the client and the surrounding area. Open spaces such as recreational areas can have a positive effect on nearby residential property values. Resulting in higher property tax revenues for local governments. Parks and open spaces tend to increase the value and sale price of homes nearby,



having the advantage of renting the place at higher price. This gives enhanced marketability and faster sales or income. In addition evidence shows that when people have excess to parks, they exercise more. The proposal itself will increase the frequency of exercise throughout the neighborhood making people fit and healthy. Moreover the space will be available encouraging people to exercise daily.

It communicates leisure and assists tourist industry. The outdoor art gallery will inspire people to use renewable source of energy and encourage adaptation to green features. Moreover it will increase the country’s economy and reduce pollution and crime rate by building a strong community among people.

On the other hand there are a few impacts towards the proposal which includes poor air quality due to high traffic in the area. This might lead to spread diseases and also the area might be noisy due to traffic which needs to be set into consideration.

5.7 Basic information of the authority procedures, plan approval



Malaysian public work department (PWD) is the federal government department in malaysia under government of works.This department is responsible for construction and maintanance of public infrastructure and building plan.

The conversion of land usage and plaining permission will be approved at this stage.when all required approvals have been obtained it dhen goes to the second stage the construction phase.once it gets approved then it goes to post construction stage,that is the third stage where a certificate of complition (CCC) will be awarded and approved by the Authourity. MPSJ in suban jaya is the local authority responsible for the approval of building projects. They check all the specifications and then approves the drawings.



5.8 costing

During every construction project a budgeted cost is estimated in order for smooth cash flow. A bill of quantity (BOQ) is made during the tendering of the project.

5.9 Conclusion

The Proposal provides sustainable living space with quality facilities and good aesthetics. It gives the empty land livable and green scenery to the neighborhood. More over this plan will be benefited and used by all age group of people increasing the demand for recreational areas. And there is no better option than to promote sustainable designs, in order to inspire people and preserve nature.



PROPOSAL (B) BY;

ABDHULLA MAMODE 0319562



The rationale, benefits and impacts of the project to the client and

surroundings / end user

This project is to make a recreation area in Persiaran Subang Permai, where

there are much of roads, buildings like the hypermarket, malls, condominium,

offices, hotel, shops, and restaurants but there is not a single place for people to

relax, spend time to take some fresh air or any place for children to play or spend

time.

Since the land in between the two Hypermarkets MyDin and Giant which is no

more being used as a parking area since a very long time and is actually closed. So

I decided to plan a recreation area like a Pocket Park on that land so as to introduce

a place for the people coming for shopping at MyDin or Giant Hypermarket, they

can go to the park and spend time to relax before driving home, or take an ice

cream eating with family or also let their children play around for sometimes so as

to get a bit distracted. Or it can be also for the people working around, they are

assured to be having a safe, calm, beautiful place to spend their lunch time

enjoying the view of the street, the people moving around.

As this will be the only place in Persiaran Subang Permai that will have a

Pocket Park, it will attract many people that are around and also those that pass

around there very rarely. And it will also be a very crowded place from time to time.

This is the place that I chose to construct a Pocket Park. The

door in the middle was the entrance of the parking which is now

always closed since very long time.



Chosen site for a Recreation Area

This is the right side of the plan where you can see MyDin

Hypermarket and the road that continues to other places



This is the left side of the site where you can see the Giant

Hypermarket and where the road continues, there are some

construction behind.

This is the opposite side of the chosen site for the Recreation

Area which shows a building somehow like an office.

This is my proposal plan for the Pocket Park in between the

two Hypermarket MyDin and Giant.

Covered Swing Bench Walking Space Children Playground

Fountain



Trees Benches Tables with attach

sitting

Main Entrance and Exit 2 other entrance

and exit



Main Entrance and Exit

In the Main Entrance and Exit there will be a Gate

which is well designed and beautiful as it is the front of

the Pocket Park. Here is an example of how the gate will

look like.

These are examples of the main gate, but will be in smaller

size which will fit in the Pocket Park which will be around 3 metres

wide. And the other two entrance also will have the same type of

door but more simple.

The walking space will be made of concrete and rocks. Here

are some examples of the walking spaces.



These are the different types of garden paths that I suggest

to put in the entrance path of the Park.

Pathways in front of the benches.



Pathways in front the

benches

These types of pathways are to show a difference in between

both the entrance and the sitting area.

Trees around all around the Park



Trees around the Park

Different types of trees can be planted all around the park to

have different kind of appearance, looks and design. And also it’s

beautiful for the eyes to see either when you are sitting inside or

passing by from outside in the car or walking.



These kind of colourful and beautiful trees will enhance the

park and the area in whole which will attract more people to come

and take pictures and so on.

Benches in the Garden

Benches around the

Park

Different kinds of Benches that can be considered to be

placed in the Pocket Park.



One kind of bench only can be used in the whole garden, but

can be using two different kind and design of bench also, so as to

give a different look and a change to the Park.

Covered Swing Bench



Covered Swing Bench

Different kind and models of Covered Swing Bench.



For the four corners of the Park I choose one in these 4

suggested Swing Bench and another single and unique for the

one in the middle just opposite the Main Entrance.

Tables with attached Benches

Round Kiosk and Oval

Tables

Different models of the Kiosk and Tables with attached

Benches.



These are suggested idea of tables and kiosk for people to

enjoy their times. They can eat during their lunch time.

Children’s Playground



Children

Playground

Includes various types of things that normally have in a

children playground.



These are some designs and new kind of children playing

grounds. Which all four can be integrated in the park.

Fountain in the middle

Fountains

Different Models of Fountains



The bottom one on the left seems more appropriate to me to

be placed in the Parks, as it is very beautiful and very nice as

well.

So this is my proposal to the site chosen in Subang Jaya at

Persiaran Subang Persian which will be the most appropriate one

to be constructed there as this is the only missing thing that is

missing in this area.
