1.0 INTRODUCTION

Titiwangsa is one of the main district area in Kuala Lumpur located at South Sentul. It is divided into

two sections namely West Sentul and East Sentul. The Malayan Railway train depot was located here.

Many Hindu temples and churches can be seen in this town because many Indian workers have been

working in the train depot since the Federated Malay States was founded by the British in 1896. Jalan

Sentul and Jalan Ipoh are the two major roads servicing this area.

With the increase of the population lead to the rapid development as can be seen in the vicinity of

Sentul, especially the development in housing sector and commercial sector. These development

process has indirectly influenced the locals living style with the efficient and effective amenities and

facilities provided, living in harmonious environment and the needs of quality of life.

With the emergence of potential mentioned above, the large-scale mixed-use development

(development mix) strategy is considered to be planned and carried out in this area. The purpose of

this development is to create a place with careful planning, rigorous and has a lasting vision. These

mix development are propose with complete facilities including education, commercial, residential,

entertainment, public transport and the landscaping design to increase the quality of life. This

development also will become an example for Sentul District residents to improve their living

standards and stimulate the quality development in the future.

2.3 Land Ownership

The proposed site is located on Lot 304807, beside Titiwangsa District with an area of approximately

3.6 hectares (9.0 acres) under the Government. In 2005, Government-appointed developer ASIE Sdn

Bhd began demolishing some blocks at the end of 2005 until early 2006 after most of the residents

from the 11 Pekeliling flat blocks have moved out, mostly to the Taman Sri Rampai f lats in Setapak.

The existing site consists 6 blocks of abundant Pekeliling flat also known as Tunku Abdul Rahman

Flats (17-storey flats built in 1967), Bulatan Pahang mosque, Institute Perubatan Respiratory Hospital

KL, which will be demolishes into mix-development.

2.4 Potential Development

From the analysis results that have been made, the proposed site has high potential to developed with

the support of the following factors :

- There are no restrictions or barriers in terms of "site status" and the next location.

- The main street (Jalan Pahang and Tun Razak) is an "advantage" for the mix- development.

- The site's condition with flat land and available with electricity and water supply sources help

minimize development costs, particularly infrastructure costs.

- Land area is suitable and adequate for the purpose of an entertainment concept.- Strategies location beside the transportation hub (monorail and LRT)

- Have access in and out and the "service road" legitimate, organized, safe and not cause any

problems or inconvenience to the user / client.

- Selection of this proposed site for the mix-development is a smart investment and with a high "value

added" in the long-term investment context.

3.3 Development Data

Site Planning Requirement and Data

According to local authority DBKL, some planning required must considered as below:

- It required 20 feet setback all over the site.

- Parking spaces for cars and motorcycles only. Heavy vehicles and depot use are NOT allowed.

- Plot ration of 1:8

- Soft Landscape: Min. 10%

Design of Planning Proposal

Site area = 109193 sq.m

Plot ratio calculation

Plot ratio = total f loor area (not included parking area within building) / site area

= 109193 X 8

= 873544 sq.m

Plinth ratio calculation

Plinth ratio = (Foot print of building (ground floor) Area of site) x 100%

= (43882sq.msq.m 109193sq.m) x 100%

= 40.18%

Open area = 59.82%

Requirement of project brief is minimum 40% of green area and GBI 60% of green area. The proposed

development has 65.20% of green area, hence, it fulfills the project briefs and Green Building Index

requirement.

4.0 PLANNING AND DESIGN CONCEPT

4.1 Problem with Current Urban Design

4.2 Planning Concept

The proposed development scheme is based on the 'concept of resort living' with a view to providing a

comfortable place, harmonious and friendly environment for its users surrounding.

In terms of organization of space, it is based on the concept of providing a center that is conducive toinhabit, doing business, relax, play and learn. Restructuring space is in accordance with the desired

zones and taking into account aspects such as accessibility of practical planning, the type of use,

privacy, separation and amalgamation, the frequency of use, relationship between the zones and so

on.

The main access to the site of this proposal is through the 20-foot wide service road with a gate that

marks the main access to the proposed site.

In view of the Pekeliling proposed site is relatively flat, the level of rates is an environment-friendly

nature of the ground work required is minimal and only involve the coordination level only.

4.3 Planning Element

Key planning elements for this mix-development proposed are:

A- Commercial and entertainment zone

B- Residential zone

C- Office and SOHO zone

D- Recreational zone

Zones of the proposed commercial and entertainment centers included and complex, a shopping

complex. These complexes can provide more and enrich the sale of products to the people in

Pekeliling and around Klang Valley generally. In addition to shopping centers, as a shopping

destination and a shopping complex also provides entertainment to its users. Entertainment facilities

include a cinema, internet caf, caf food, center of paddle boats and so on. Complexes that operate

to generate employment, economic development and improve the standard of living of Pekeliling area.

Residency is a residential zone for any who interested to live there and ranges from medium to highends. This residential zone is connected to the commercial and entertainment zone in which it is

separated by a zone of sports and access road to provide privacy to the residents.

Recreation and sports zone located between residential zones and commercial zones and it has a

watershed that separates these two places. Recreation and sports zone consists of the new manmade

lakes and green spaces and well equipped with exercise tools.

4.5 Design Consideration

Group Form

The group form cause the result of incremental accumulation of elements in space along an armature

and is particularly typical of the spatial organisation of the development time line (history influences).

This cause the early "built form" linkage is neither implied nor imposed but is naturally evolved as an

integral part of the organic, generative structure. The group form is characterized by a consistency of

topography response, materials, a wise which deference to human scale and by sequences of spaces

defined by building typology such as edge, tangible, intangible and the image itself "impact from

cultural, design pattern, materials and colour of the group form". That means it create a difference

function and activities of the place.

The Harmony within Complexity

The relationship between each modular pieces interacting with the other. As a whole, the unity seems

to have provided within its own complexity, a rather simple harmony between the pieces that interacts.

This harmony then analyzed as fragments in space. Secluding the rest and just focusing on certain

provocative moments which was found is beautiful and architecturally speaking. The pieces in its

different configurations of angles, thicknesses and dimension evokes a dialog within the space it

creates.

Zoning

The basic zoning for the development has taking the failure of the uran design as it precedent. For

example the idea of individual block has resulted many problems such as poor connectivity between

one building to another. Thus the new proposed development has consider larger scale of block and

being divided into few zones based on the category stated before. It somehow encourage the limitless

activities to happen around the area with complete segregation beween automobiles and pedestrian.

Site Zoning and Environmental Consideration

The environmental factors have been put up as the main consideration for the zoning. Since Malaysia

climate is hot and humid for the whole year, the design is striving in providing a very comfortable

leisure setting regardless the weather. The zoning of the development also trying to respect the

existing surrounding development such as residential and so on. For example, the residential zones is

located adjacent to the existing residential area so that it would not breaking the existing

neighbourhood at that area, but trying to be more friendly. For the leisure zones, it has been plan to

utilize the existing riverside as a part of its features. The future development also shows that the river

will be revitalized so it is a big opportunity for this development to take the advantage of the future

development. The entertainment zones, which took place more than 1/3 of the development is placed

along Jalan Tun Razak. The intention is to gain more attention from the public as the building is

function mostly for entertainment and commercial. It is sort of self advertising to the road and the

people pass by. The issues of noise and other is not a problem here because the spaces involved in

the entertainment zones doesnt required a quite situation.


14/22



Site Syntax

As the overall development is design is such a way it is taking the form of the mega structure, the site

syntax that by planning has been created based on its activities. To allow certain transparency to the

outside, the building elements is design in such allowing certain degree of visiblity from certain

numbers of angle from outside. The main reason it allows as such is to tells the people from outside

about the activities that happening, inside the development. The issues of safety and security might be

bring up, but the was carefully plan so that is is just allowing visual connection from myriads of area.

The main entrance (physical entance) to the site is still remain limited so that it will be more easy to be

controlled.
