2. 1.3 MACRO ANALYSIS
Proposed site is known as Site C that highlighted in the diagram below. As shown, it located in the busy and urban city which is Kuala
Lumpur that surrounded with business and commercial high rise building. The site is parking lot that used by the people that work majority
in the urban city of Kuala Lumpur especially DBKL administrative as it located next to it. Most of the people surrounding would be office
workers that come to work daily which cause an urban crowd in the area. So, our user target will be the main office staff, second for
local workers coming to tourists. Tourists would come to the area due to the landmarks listed but less to the site area as it mainly as a
government administrative area. Node around basically crowded from the public transportation that nearby the site.
1.0 PROJECT DESIGN ANALYSIS
1.1 CLIENT & STAKEHOLDER
Ministry of Tourism & Culture Malaysia
Previously, Spa Therapist Training program was introduced by them to reduce
Malaysians dependency on foreign therapists. So, a recreational centre in Kuala
Lumpur would also help in part of program by creating more career opportunities to
local community in order to help in solving the urban stress as to promote the
importance of regulating healthy lifestyle for Malaysian.
Malaysian Psychotherapy Association or MPA
It is an organization for all the psychotherapists to promote and encourages the field
of psychotherapists and also encourages the professionals to research about the
sector. From this organization, it could help to allow people to understand the
importance of therapy especially for urban city by getting support from the
organisation professionals. So, the support from this organisation is significant to
make the recreational centre in Kuala Lumpur to be success and decreasing the
urban issue which commonly found in crowded city.
1.2 OBJECTIVE & GOAL
 To promote the importance of healing by recreational center to people
 To encourage people to be aware about urban stress that could cause
danger to health
 To propel competitive and sustainable tourism and culture sectors towards
the socio-economic development of the country.
 To reduce the urban issue in Kuala Lumpur
 To create more opportunities to Malaysian

3. 1.4 SWOT ANALYSIS
STRENGTH
 Strategic location and graphical feasibility
 Located near to the public transportation
 Easy accessibility
 Urban node and landmark nearby
OPPORTUNITIES
 Large and clear buildable area
 Contextual cues which add quality to the locality
WEAKNESS
 Less public open space for activities
 No proper shading at the site
 Lack of diversity
 Noise pollution
THREATS
 Negative activities occur during night such as
"Mat Rempit"
 Become Dormant spaces for homeless people
in the night
SOCIOLOGICAL
Entertainment is considered lacking in the site as it is a parking lot
which people would pass by when there is specific purpose but not
stay longer at the site. Even, during the night, it becomes a dormant
space for homeless people to stay.
1.5 PESTLE ANALYSIS
POLITICAL
Since the site is located at the administrative area, there is no pre-development
project to be unlikely taken around to avoid interruption to this area. Comparing to
the commercial and old shop houses zone in the opposite of site, this area is lack
of attractions and supportive activities to bring more visitors around. But, there is
project regarding to the river that besides to site which known as River of Life
which might tend to bring the development of interlink few areas.
ECONOMICAL
Low rate of economy compared to the commercial and multipurpose zone as it
located in the political administrative area which have less attractions for the
visitors to the site but treat as parking lot for the community.
LEGAL
Site in Jalan Raja Laut has a total area of 3936 square meter. According to the
authority requirements, the setback for the building purpose in the site is 6m from
boundary to the front of vehicular road in Jalan Raja Laut and 3m on each side of
adjacent boundary. The building must be in around 1800-2000 square meter built
in minimum of 3 levels with covered circulation included.
ENVIRONMENTAL
Noise issue should be taken concern as it located to the heavy traffic vehicular
road and public transportation that produce a high level of noise which tend to
have specific design strategies for the building. A proper softscaping could be
designed to solve the issue as it can be noise barrier for the site that may turn into
opportunity to incorporate passive design into the project. Lack of public green
space at the site as it majority developed into high rise buildings.

4. 2.3 SPACES FOR PROGRAMME

2.0 PROGRAMME VIABILITY
2.1 SITE CONTEXT AND ISSUE
Since the site is located in the urban city, it found the common issue
for an urban city which is urban stress as people surrounding only
busy with working without relaxing their body and mind. Stress would
affect peoples’ health no matter from mentally or physically so this
issue should be take more concern to reduce it.
PROPOSED SITE
2.2 PROPOSED PROGRAMME- RECREATIONAL CENTER (ORIENTAL HEALING HUB)
This programme is proposed based on the concept of Green that integrating of internal & external greenery element to the building in order to
solve the issue of urban stress which to help the user to stay relax without thinking anything during their activities in the building through the art of Zen
as nowadays people only concern on earning money and working that would cause risk to health seriously if continuous like that. So, a recreational
center based on oriental style is suitable for them in the crowded and busy city area.

5. 3.0 DESIGN SUITABILITY
3.1 SITE AND DESIGN STRATEGIES
3.2 MASSING DEVELOPMENT
Initial cubic
form
Separated into
smaller blocks based
on the pedestrian on
site
Stacking of blocks create
voids allow air flow
pattern naturally passing
through & external space
act as terrace vegetation
Merge to each other
to create spatial
quality of human
pattern
Slanted roof to avoid
rainwater get stored
Skylight roof applied
for maximise the
natural light into
building
Building is natural
ventilated due to the void
that allows the wind
passing through the
building in different
directions which helps in
lowering the heat gain in
the building
Due to the position of sun
path, west side is
required to have more
shading device and core
can be positioned to the
west perimeter to reduce
direct sun heat charge
transfer into the building
Position of vegetation is
important in order to
reduce heat gain and
also produce a green
environment to people
which tend to make them
to feel peaceful.
it also acts as a noise
barrier that decrease the
noise level of the city
area as the site is near to
the busy road and lrt area
Car passing through the
drop-off then to parking
lot without blocking the
linkage between the river
and building
Obtain the views from
360 degrees especially
to green vegetation as
green to be believed as
colour that helps in
relaxing visual.
Highly permeability that
allows people from
different area to be
convenient in going any
area by passing through
the building and
encourage people to be
in the building area
human pathway tends to
create the quality space
of the building
