SWOT ANALYSIS

• Orginality of nature remained.

• Echo created by contour• Different views

• Hardly accessible • Human pollution• Limited views• Collected water• Safety• Stability of structures

• Water can be the main way to access to whole site.

• Trees hole the soil together

• Wild animal attack• Tree collapse after rain• Landslide• Polluted water


STRENGTH


• Allan’s Water remains originality of the nature meanwhile making it accessible

• Ecosystem is complete in the enclosed curve of the contour

• Echo created by contour concentrates chirping of birds around lake area

•Different height and slopes of mountain helps in ecology studies

•Different height provides different views ( towards lake and inside forest)


WEAKNESS


• Inconsistency in topography makes it hard for circulation.

•Lack of natural buffer zone – noise (Human noise pollution caused by whistling of

boatman might scare the birds away )

• Collected water (lower zone) become habitat to mosquitoes and leeches

• Stability of structures is not ensured (slopes)

OPPORTUNITYContour & Topography


• Lake can be the main access to the whole lake

•Waterfront/cross bridge/ new links for the

convenience of tourists


THREAT


• Wild animals hidden in the jungle might

attack tourists

• Trees might collapse after rain due to the

loosening of soil overtime and thus causing

landslide to occur

• Tourist who litter might cause the lake to be

polluted

EXISTING STRUCTURES & MATERIALITY

TITLELocation for the pathway lighting

- Pathway Lighting point


TITLELocation for the bird feeding

-Bird Feeding Tower


1. Bridge Railing

Made out of kempas wood

Kempas wood texture

Strength:~durable~inexpensive~easy to install

Materials Analysis Weakness:~cannot withstand high moisture (causing moss to grow)~susceptible to termite attacks

Timeline Course:~Kempas is slightly acidic and corrodes metals. This causes the bolts to rust.~brittle areas have blunting effects on cutting edges.

Material suitability:Not suitable as rust occurs after a long period of time.Material usability: Kempas wood is better suited for flooring but

not as a bridge in a jungle.


2. Steel with bronze coating

3. Concrete Walls with Drainage holes

Strength:~Malleable and ductile~High aesthetic value~Good wear resistance

Weakness:~Costly waste~Environmental issue (high embodied energy)

Timeline Course: Coating will fade in time and the metal underneath will be prone to

rust

Material suitability: It is suitable as metal’s strength can withstand pressure when leaned on against. This prevents people from falling over into the water.

Material usability: Versatile when it comes to modification and repair, therefore can be preserved at site for a

long time frame.

Strength:~Steady and firm structure~The drainage pipe is there to remove excess water during high tide to low tide

Weakness:~Easily stained from dirt (soil)

Timeline Course: After certain period of time the stain makes it not aesthetically pleasing,

especially the drainage holes.

Material suitability: its very suitable for blocking water waves from splashing in.


4. Bridge Nuts & Bolts

Made of medium carbon steel

Strength:~An alloy of iron and carbon (strength)~balanced ductility~good wear resistance

Weakness:~rusts rather quickly

Medium

carbon

steel

Stainless

steel

Timeline Course: The nuts and bolts will rust and since it is a connector, it will cause the wooden railing to collapse and is dangerous.

Material suitability: Not suitable as rust occurs after a long period of time.Material usability: Better suited for forging car parts.

Diagram depicting the joint of the nuts and blots with the wood railing earlier


5. Concrete tiles tiles

Made of concrete tiles

Strength : Provides a flat surface to step on and is extremely tough and resilient being able to withstand pressure

Weakness : if not properly sealed on both top and bottom, it will be susceptible to penetration by moisture. This causes the floor tile to crack

Timeline Course : because the tiles are surrounded by grass and is exposed to rain, it will crack over a period of time. The grass will also grow through the cracks.

Suitability of Material : as a step it’s a good choice of material but the location for it is not suitable

Usability of Material : the concrete tiles are better suited for building construction and though it has good aesthetic value, the tile will not last very long.

6. Ceramic tilesStrength : Very durable and also easy to clean as it doesn’t harbor germs. It is easily installed and has low-cost value

Weakness : the tiles are vulnerable to breakage and also can be very slippery when surface is wet

Timeline Course : Ceramic tiles have a long-lasting span of usage which lasts for 10-20 years and if broken, can be easily replaced. As the ceramic is placed at the building and is not close to the river, it can be maintained properly.

Suitability of Material : A good selection of tile for the buildings over there as it is pretty much away from any harm

Usability of Material : the ceramic tiles are suited best for flooring material and has been used efficiently at the site


7. Concrete and stone pillars

Strength :Eco-friendly and a practical option.Extremely reliable for their strengthand is commonly used. Capable ofwithstanding oncoming wind andwater-resistance

Weakness (Concrete) : the area it is built upon must have the plantation around it removed before it can be built. However, after construction, plants can be planted again.Weakness (Stone) : the design has stone edges pointing out and can prove to be dangerous.

Timeline Course : Both pillars are extremely tough and durable making it able to stand firm for a very long time.

Suitability of Material : A good choice of material for a hut for recreational purposes as it has good strength

Usability of Material : Common choice of pillars and is also used worldwide due to its low cost and aesthetic values


8. RoofingSuitability of material: Clay roof tiles are fire-proof, as well as being impervious to the kinds of rot, mold, and water damage that can destroy

other roofing materials. Material: Clay Tile

Timeline : Looking at the weather condition on our site, Clay tile could be the best option as roofing material simply because it’s durable and long-lasting which make it able to resist decay for a long period of time.

Usability of material: It has a single roll rather than being totally flat. It can be installed on low pitches with gauge variability, whilst offering the attractiveness of “fine cornet” tile guaranteed weather-tightness

Strength: Long lasting and a very good heat insulator making the inside cooling


9. Roof structure

Timeline Course: Over time this wood will attracts insect invaders, such as termites, and is more likely to suffer damage during violent weather or high winds.

Suitability of material: It’s not very suitable as its highly dependent on the weather condition.

Strength: They used heavy timbers. This gives the massive solid appearance.

Weakness: On the downside, timber is subject to rot or warp, especially if exposed to the elements.


10. Bird feeding centre

Fraser's Hill is a paradise for bird watching andphotography with over 270 species of localand migratory birds flocking together here.And at our site here is a centre for bird feedingand to be admired at.

Usability of material: Often, birds won't use a new house until it shows some age. Weathering also softens up the wood, making it dangerous for young ones to grab hold. A painted, decorated birdhouse may be cute, but unvarnished cedar, pine or redwood will get more use.

Strength: built for the sake of the birds?

Timeline Course: it depends on the location of the birdhouse.

Suitability of material: The material used for the roof is matte with stone finishing to make the bird feeding area look natural.

ORIENTATION & CLIMATE


By: Andy Low Tze Hou, Lee Yuan June, Felicia Novera, Yang Ge Shen

ORIENTATION & CLIMATESun Path Diagram of Fraser’s Hill

Fraser’s Hill is located in Pahang, Malaysia.

Malaysia is located on the equator so it allows lots of sunshine to access.

The sun path of it does not change much so regardless of the sun’s movement, the site still able to get most of it’s ray.

Malaysia receives average 6 hours sunshine per day.However, the season throughout the year will influence the amount of sunshine obtained.

Sun path diagram in Equator


Sun Orientation

The knowledge of sun path for the site is fundamental in design to let in the light and passive solar gain.

Design of a building not only according to the control of the site, the orientation of it is important to reduce the sunlight enter to house.


The position of the building is located on east-west axis to bring in the rising sunlight.


Sunrise & Sunset ORIENTATION & CLIMATE

Light intensity

Sunrise Sunset

The time during the day that the site receiving sunlight is from 7:02am-7:07pm.Most of the facilities such as pavilions, entrance, shop are built in the area which is higher light intensity as shown in the sunrise diagram, where as there’s nothing built in higher intensity as shown in sunset diagram.


ShadeShade is always required in tropical country especially in Malaysia as this country obtains sunlight in most of the time during daytime.

Overdose of sunlight might make the site exposed with UV light, hence the existing tress in the site has became a very potential shading device.



RELATIVE TEMPERATURE ORIENTATION & CLIMATE


CLIMATE & ORIENTATION

WIND PATH

Overall wind path of the site during the time of our site visit is from southwest to northeast, it will also change its direction during different monsoon season in Malaysia. The wind speed on the mountain is 5km/h, the combination of the wind speed and the constant temperature of 19-20 celcius provides a very comfortable environment.



WIND PATHMONSOON SEASON- Southwest Monsoon ( MAY-SEPT )

Description-also known as Angin Sumatera-the higher the speed of wind the lower the pressure


WIND PATHMONSOON SEASON- Southwest Monsoon( MAY-SEPT )

Description-the southwest direction has the higher pressure compare to northeast direction-the wind flow are more concentrated at the entrance part.



WIND PATHMONSOON SEASON- Northeast Monsoon ( NOV-MAC )Description-- the higher the speed of wind the lower the pressure-the northeast direction has the higher pressure compare to southwest direction-the wind flow are more concentrated at the inner part of the lake.-during this season of monsoon, the rain fall of fraser hill will be higher than normal time.


WIND PATHMONSOON SEASON- Northeast Monsoon ( NOV-MAC )

Description-- the higher the speed of wind the lower the pressure-the northeast direction has the higher pressure compare to southwest direction-the wind flow are more concentrated at the inner part of the lake.-during this season of monsoon, the rain fall of Fraser’s hill will be higher than normal time.


RAINFALL ORIENTATION & CLIMATE



WIND PATHLand breeze and Sea breezeDescription-Sea Breeze •occurs during day time•sea is cooler than land•the warm air at the land is less dense than the atmosphere so it rises and the cooler air condense and flow down to the sea.-Land Breeze•occurs during night time•the land is cooler than the sea•the warm air at the sea is less dense than the atmosphere so it rises and the cooler air condense and flow down to the land.


RELATIVE HUMIDITY ORIENTATION & CLIMATE


RELATIVE HUMIDITY ORIENTATION & CLIMATE


Relative Humidity > 80%-Soft and moisture soil lead to the land to be structurally unstable-Will affect the birds’ liver due to the high amount of ammonia concentration

Relative Humidity < 45%-Affect birds’ respiratory system -Eggs membranes dry out

Relative Humidity between 50% and 70%-Keep the birds’ skin and feather in good condition-Soil is structurally stable to be built on-Eggs laid out do not dry out during incubation


Birds Migration Map


THE EAST ASIAN-AUSTRALASIAN FLYWAY

• Covers around 178 species

• Is used more by shorebirds that breed in Northern Asiaand Alaska and spend the non-breeding season in South-East Asia and Australasia

• These journeys follow a predominantly north-southaxis, linking breeding grounds in arctic and temperate regionswith non-breeding sites in temperate and tropical areas.

• And these migrants typically move from Northern to Southern region in autumn and return in spring

• Due to climate change, some species of short- to middle-distance migration are spending significantly longer periods at their breeding grounds.


Blue – Winged Pitta


Eurasian Woodcock


Siberian Thrush


White-throated Needletail

ORIENTATION & CLIMATEADVISE FOR SITESUN PATH

WIND PATH• Prevent from having the site at high wind

velocity are and low air pressure area.

• Facing east: best site to makean opening (e.g. kitchen)

• Facing south: receive mostdaylight (e.g. living room)

• Facing west: least opening (e.g. toilet)• Facing north: receive least

daylight (e.g. bedroom)


RELATIVE HUMIDITY• It is structurally stable and safe to be built

on the spot with RH below 80%• Birds comfortable with RH of 50% to 70%

The number of people who comes on weekends are more compared to normal days but lesser than the number of people coming during the holidays.

Most of the visitors are not local. Hence, the statistics are higher on holidays because of the

increasing number of tourists coming to Malaysia.
