INTRODUCTION

In this introduction to construction industry, the final project. We are required to form a

group with a pair and we need to propose a site and develop it into either recreation area,

commercial area, residential area, industrial area, tourism area or argicultural area.

First of all, the site is located at 288E, Jalan Thean Teik Kampung Melayu 11500 Ayer Itam

Pulau Pinang, Malaysia. The site place is surrounded by residential area and primary school.

The right and left side of the site is surrounded by commercial area which include shop lot,

hotel, fish market, clinic, stationery shop, bank, bakery, laundry, tourism souvenir shop and

also dentist.. The size of our site is approximately around 50m x 60m. The rough

measurement of our site will be around 3000 square meters. The site will soon be develop

into the combination of recreation and parking area.

SITE PLAN

The site location is 288E, Jalan Thean Teik Kampung Melayu 11500 Ayer Itam Pulau

Pinang, Malaysia. The size of our site is approximately around 50m x 60m. The rough

measurement of our site will be around 3000 square meters.

LOCATION PLAN KEY PLAN

SITE OBSERVATION

The East view from site: A primary and a secondary school.

The South view from site: A hypermarket

The North view from site: some shop lots and residential area

The West view of site: Another empty land

Site Analysis

Light Intensity

The sunlight is sufficient for the whole morning until afternoon because in the surrounding

of the site has no tall building exceeding 7 floor so there is no sunlight blocked by the

building. Night is also have no worries about the darkness because of the site is located next

to the main road so it has lamppost along the road.

Ventilation

The site has wind flowing pretty well due to the low height of the surrounding building. The

wind flow from West site to the North and also to the direction of South.

Topography

The site is literally flat and no hilly for the entire area. The site is higher than the main road

about 1 meter. No water spot in that particular area.

Strength

Nearby this area at least has 7 coffee shop, 5 commercial building/ rows of shop lot,

stationery shop, a morning market, residential area, recreational parks, mosque and schools

which is very convenient for everything.

Weakness

There is too many shop lot and commercial building and also schools therefore the parking

space is always been not enough. During the peak hour, traffic jam will occur because users

parking their car along the roadside causing it very inconvenient.

PROPOSAL 2

PARKING + SPORTS

COMPLEX (PREPARED BY LAW ZHI CHANG)

STUDENT ID: 0323813

Proposal

As there is lack of parking space and sport arena, the residents are

seldom having healthy exercise due to working times and yet there is no

proper space for the community to pursue physical fitness. The area is

also has too much conventional, school, residential area, markets and

hypermarket is the worse part from insufficient of parking space.

This proposal of mine is proposing multi storey of parking lot with shops

and sport arena on top of the building. The building is included 6 storey of

organised parking lot to solve the insufficient parking space problem and

the traffic jam as well, 1 swimming pool, 1 spa, 6 badminton court and 1

basketball arena. The purpose of the building is mainly providing a space

to gather people for relaxing, working out and recreational activities. The

place provide also a space for event holding, talks, and other functions for

healthy life style living and enhance interactive among neighbourhood.

Rationale

After looking at the advantages and impacts we brainstormed for

days on what we could create from this piece of land into something

spartacular. We had focused our land to be a:

Sport+Parking Complex

Concept

I found that there isn’t any sport complex and sufficient parking

spot at the area, hence I came out an idea to build an 8 storey building to

solve these problem that helps the community and also beneficial to the

developer.

On the design of the building, automated ticketing machine at the

entrance of the building which access to the parking lot. At the 7th floor,

the whole area has been designed as shops and badminton arena. At the

roof top, it has been designed as the swimming pools, spa and the

basketball arena as well. The public facility and ultilities example like

toilets, food courts, food stalls ( located at the basketball arena ),

ticketing of the facility, booking offices, lockers, sauna and rest area.

The concept of the shop is designed for the sport facilities which is

selling swimming equipment, basketballs, shuttlecocks, badminton

rackets and etc. The shop is also included canteen with different variety

of food for refreshing before or after the exercises. Most importantly

isotonic drinks kiosk is distributed at the sports arenas.

The basketball arena is designed for basketball competition which

has a court in the centre and seats surrounded the court. Food stall and

kiosk can be found in this particular area.

The roof top is special designed enclosed area with glasses for the

whole roof top and side walls. It has 2 layers special designed glass 100%

UV reflection and 50% light permeable. The first layer is the outer wall of

the roof, in the middle is a hollow space for water to flow through and

the second layer would be the inner wall of the building. The design help

cooled down the internal room temperature and saving course for using

air-conditional/fans or ventilation vents which require huge amount of

electricity and produce loud sound to cool down the area. This design

allow sunlight to flow through helps to sanitise the pool and also allow

user to have a great view to the scenery of the area.

Propose Detail

1) Parking Complex

Parking complex is build to have a large amount of car parking in a

long period of time. It has meet the requirement of the citizen of the

area. It has the market and has a low cost maintainence but high

benificial potential. As the site analysis state that nearby area having

school residential, wet markets ,hypermarkets, conventional centre, shop

lots, mosque and also recreational parks. These all communities needed a

huge amount of parking space. Imaging every single Friday with the

prayers going to mosque and have the wet markets, and people shopping

at the hypermarket it would short of parking space surely and in the

condition that existed already show that the parking lot is highly

demanded.

Traffic Jam condition

1-6th floor concept

Road Circulation

It was designed like is is because to prevent large amount of car

entering or exiting the site at the same time causing conjunction.

2) Swimming Pool

Swimming is a good sport for working mens espeacially office kind of

working lack of moving and walking. Swimming helps the whole body

relaxing and also working all the body muscle at a single time. Swimming

pool is very benificial in way of economy, it can be use by a lot of people

in a single time compare to badminton it has the potential to gain more

money in short term of time. The maintainence fee is also not an

enormous number as long as the pool is maintain correctly.

Child Pool Adult Pool

New Roof Cover Design

It is in the concept like this whenever the interior wanted to be

seen or letting the light shine in they would switch off the water flow

between the 2 glases and making it transparent and able to be looking

inside out to the great view of the area. When it is getting too hot or too

bright they would turn on the water flow and let the water cooling down

the room temperature and also blocking the sunlight. It was based on

water cooling design in the Computer as it is highly efficient and very

beatiful. By installing these cover up, it help cooling down and optional to

be blocking and unblocking the passing ray of the sun.

Visualysing the Roof Top of the pool site.

2.1) Spa and Sauna

Who wouldn’t like a spa massage after a swimming or a tired working.

Spa and sauna also has the potential market and providing good healthy

relaxation activities. Sauna rovide a good blood circulation and

detoxification.

3) Basketball Arena

It was not perfect a sport complex without a basketball arena.

Basketball competition is way more common to be seen in Malaysia these

day but there is no venue for this kind of competition. It has the most

profitable venue for both users and developers.

In the angle of users they would have a good views on any important

basketball competition in an enclosed comfy room rather than sit under

the hot sun and getting unwanted sunburned. It is also a good family

leisure activity to do so.

In the angle of the developer, it has high economy potential simply

having a competition by selling not only tickets but food and suvinior as

well confirm earning way more a lot. The rental fees from the basketball

competition authorities also would be a way from getting money. It is

also a good way to promote or advertising the company by well

maintining and good facility for the basketball court.

4) Badminton Courts

Badminton is a hot sport for Malaysian. We would never say no to

badminton, it is a patrotisme action by playing badminton. Badminton

is so famous in Malaysia must be thank to the starof Malaysia, Dato

Lee Chong Wei has been the proud of all Malaysian being the top 1st

man single player in the World.

A quality badminton court demand a high maintain fees however

this facility is for the public and the community to show the company

has a giving heart prepare to contribute best but not only taking profit

from the community. As a good badminton court it must be conceal

with strong air-movement and too high light intensity. The wall must

be painted in blue or green to comfort the eyes of the player and the

ventilation system must be well to prevent heat stroke or sufocating

problems.

Dato Lee Chong Wei

5) Shoplots and Food Court

Shoplots and food court are needed in a sport complex like this for

refreshment and equiment purchasing. Even repairing the equipment for

sport like badminton rackets or reporlishing the goggles.

Kiosk are also the important for selling refreshment like hotdog, isotonic

drinks, and etc.

Conceptual Ideas

7th floor concept

8th floor concept

Benefit

In the angle of developer, it has high profitable potential due to the

demanding of the market and also the community. Good way to

advertising the company for the future purpose. Profiting with helping

the society is always the best benefit of all.

In the angle of end users, this would help the reducing of the road

accident due to the problem of traffic jam solved. It is also easier to find a

parking spot and save more time for the shopping or other activities. The

end users would gain more healthy living life style and also a better family

relation throughout these activities that the building provide.

Impact By building this complex it has help a lot to the community.

Problem Solved

1) The traffic jam

2) The rate of accident in that particular area

3) Unhealthy living life style

4) Improving family bond

5) Creating great entertainment event

6) Time consumtion for finding parking space

7) Easy access to sport equipment

8) More leisure option

Architect

An architect is hired by a client to produce detailed designs of a concept

or idea that the client wants to bring to reality. Architect need to comply

with building and sfety regulations, local planing regulations and

restrictions. Depending on the project there may be laws surrounding the

preservation of the local environment or any historic parts of a building.

Regular client meetings are important to establish requirements and

discuss detailed design proposals. Heading up the team of professionals

who will work on this stage of the project including engineers, designers

and financiers is also essential.

During the documentation phase, the resposibilities are to producing

design, detailed drawings and using technology such as CAD to test the

feasibility of the design. Architect need to consider about client’s

requirements, budget and regulations. Once the design documents are

complete, thre are then a second set of documents that need to be

poduced.

These are the construction documents, which translate the design into

instruction and technical specifications for contractors and construction

experts to refer. Once the project reaches the construction stage, the

architect need to be involved in site visits and meetings, overseeing the

construction and signing off on various pieces of work, negotiating with

contractors and dealing with and resolving any problems that arise.

Quantity Surveyor

A quantity surveyor manages all costs relating to building and civil

engineering projects, form the initial calculations to the final figures.

Surveyors seek to minimise the costs of a project and enhance value for

money, while still achieving the required standards and quality. Many of

these are specified by statutory building regulations, which the surveyor

needs to understand and adhere to.

A quantity surveyor may work for either the client or the contractor,

working in an office or on site. They are involved in a project from the

start, preparing estimates and costs of the work.

When the project is in progress, quantity surveyors keep track of any

variations to the contract that may affect costs and create reports to

show profitability.

Supplier

A supplier is a supply chain management term that means anyone who

provide goods or services to a company or individuals. Supplier will supply

materials to the site. Supplier also need to ensure the quality of the

materials. A supplier is often the one who manufactures inventoriable

items, and sell those items. Supplier also need to ensure the installation

of the materials and equipment goes smoothly. Supplier also somethimes

recognized as a subcontractor because of their large contributions to a

project.

Civil & Structural Engineer

Structural engineers are primarily with designing aesthetically pleasing

buildings and structures that are safe and capable of withstanding the

elements to which they will be exposed. Key tasks of a C&S emgineer

includes preparing reports, designs and drawings, make calculations

about loads and stresses, providing technical advice. Unlike architects,

who must focus on the appearance, shape, size and use of the building.

Structural engineers must solve techinical problems and help the

architect achieve his or her vision for the project

Conclusion

After I collected, recorded and combined all of ours ideas and formed this

proposal, I had found that building a sport complex benefits the people a

lot, especially the residents living nearby.

This is a 50m x 60m sport complex is designed and build on purposes of

gathering people for refreshing, relaxation and recreation activities,

holding events and other functions and enhance interactive among

neighbourhood.

This sport complex benefits the people in the way on creating a chance

for people to exercise to keep them healthy.

I hope that this sport complex proposal will bring advantages to the

people and community around.
