Introduction 
In this Introduction to Contruction Industry (ICI) final project, we 
worked as a group to propose a project that serve either as 
recreational area, commercial area, industrial area, argigultural 
area, tourism area and residential area within a 30m×30m or 
30m×40m land. This proposal should be benefits both the client & 
surrounding community. Some additional information such as some 
basic information of authority & cost planning document are 
suggested to add in to the proposal. We conducted a site visit to 
our site, Taman Desa Jaya in Kepong, in order to collect 
information about the site. After making some analysis around the 
site, we decided to create a recreational area with 2 alternative 
proposal in the site.

We choose a site which located at Taman Desa Jaya, Kepong. This site is 
surrounded by resident ial area. Our site is windy due to the surrounded t rees. 
According to what we had observed, the land is empty. I t just provide a simple 
playground and doesn’t have any sit t ing area or act ivities for peoples. 
Therefore, all the resident do not go there. They just use some part of the land 
as dumping area. We decided to use this site as it has a great potent ial to 
provide a successful recreat ional area for all the resident s.

Circulation 
Sunlight- Our site area is well shaded because there are t resses plant ing at the 
east . 
Wind direction – The place are windy because the breeze can enter the place 
from west . 
Human circulation – The human act ivities focus at the area nearby the 
playground because there is no sit t ing area and other facilit ies provided. 
Car circulation – Car easily to assess from out side as the main roads are 
located nearby and roads are surrounding our site.

Proposal 1: Zen Garden (Chong Kit Yee 0319748) 
Concept 
The topic we choose for our project is Recreational Area. The main reason 
we decided to propose a recreational area is because we noticed that 
there is lack of place for residents to relax and gather. So each of us 
prepare one proposal for this recreational area. 
After we choose this topic, I decided to make our site with more relaxing 
place. So I choose Japanese Zen Garden concept. Japanese Zen Garden 
known as Japanese Rock Garden as well, because it creates a miniature 
stylized landscape through carefully composed arrangements of rocks, 
water features, moss , bushes, and gravel which represents ripples in water. 
Moreover, I planned to put a jogging track for residents to have a healthy 
lifestyle. Also, a playground for the children in the residential area.

Understanding of Zen Garden 
10 
The 
Japanese 
rock garden 
( karesansui ) 
or "dry 
landscape" 
garden, 
often called 
a Zen garden, 
creates a 
miniature stylized landscape through carefully composed arrangement s of 
rocks, water features, moss, pruned t rees and bushes, and uses gravel or sand 
that is raked to represent ripples in water. A Zen garden is usually relat ively 
small, surrounded by a wall, and is usually meant to be seen while seated 
from a single viewpoint out side the garden, such as the porch of the hojo, the 
residence of the chief monk of the temple or monastery. Classical Zen 
gardens were created at temples of Zen Buddhism in Kyoto, Japan during 
the Muromachi Period. They were intended to imitate the int imate essence of 
nature, not it s actual appearance, and to serve an aid to meditat ion about 
the t rue meaning of life. 
The select ion and placement of rocks is the most important part of making a 
Japanese rock garden. In the first known manual of Japanese gardening, the 
Sakuteiki, ' "Creat ing a garden" is expressed as "set t ing stones", 
ishiwotaterukoto; literally, the "act of set t ing stones 
upright ." I t laid out very specific rules for choice and 
the placement of stones, and warned that if the 
rules were not followed the owner of the garden 
would suffer misfortune. In Japanese gardening, 
rocks are classified as either tall vert ical, low vert ical, 
arching, reclining, or flat . 
Gravel is usually used in Zen gardens, rather than 
sand, because it is less disturbed by rain and wind. 
The act of raking the gravel into a pat tern recalling 
waves or rippling water has an aesthet ic funct ion. 
Stone arrangement s and other miniature element s 
are used to represent mountains and natural water 
element s and scenes, islands, rivers and waterfalls. Stone and shaped shrubs 
(karikomi, hako-zukuri topiary) are used interchangeably. In most gardens 
moss is used as a ground cover to create "land" covered by forest .
11 
Why Zen Garden? 
From my observat ion on the site, peoples around this area need to be relax 
and relief st ress recreat ional area. A Zen garden can be perfect place for the 
specialized meditat ive act ivities. A big part of the part icular appeal of Zen 
garden is it s enigmat ic character. Besides, a Zen garden takes very lit t le 
maintenance. Tradit ionally, users spend t ime in a Zen garden taking the sand 
into different pat terns that mimic water in an ocean or sea. Zen garden does 
not require specific daily maintenance, as for flower beds and other 
installat ions.

Proposal 2: Green Community Hall (Chong Jia Yi 0320869) 
In my 30m x 40m site that located in a park, I found that there are 
lacks of public space for the residents to conduct events and for 
recreational purpose. Furthermore, the park is under maintenance 
and the facilities are spoiled. The surrounding of the site is dirty 
because some irresponsible resident dumping rubbish under the 
tree and lack of inspection of local authority. Therefore, I choose 
to propose a community hall for the client, as it benefit both client 
and the community surrounding. 
PROJECT CONCEPT: Green and eco-friendly 
18 
1) Roof top garden 
Green roof is a roof of a building that is part ially or completely covered with 
vegetation and a growing medium, planted over a waterproofing 
membrane. I t may also include addit ional layers such as a root barrier and 
drainage and irrigat ion systems. 
I integrated roof top garden to t he community hall design because it : 
 Reduced energy use: Green roofs absorb heat and act as insulators for 
buildings 
 Reduced air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions: By lowering air 
condit ioning demand. Vegetat ion can also remove air pollutant s and 
greenhouse gas emissions 
 Improved human health and 
comfort: by reducing heat 
t ransfer through the building 
roof 
 Improved quality of life of the 
residents
19 
2) Daylight 
The two primary reasons for using daylight to meet the illuminat ion 
requirement s of the community hall are the psychological benefits and the 
energy savings benefits. Good daylight ing has been shown to improve the 
overall at t itude, sat isfact ion and well being of building occupant s. 
I t can result in significant energy savings by reducing elect ric light ing loads 
and associated cooling loads. In addit ion, with proper solar cont rol, solar 
gains during cooling load periods can be mit igated and solar gains during 
heat ing load periods can be ut ilized, reducing the energy requirement s of 
both cooling and heat ing a space. 
3) Recycled construction material 
Some building materials are lumber from forest s that have been cert ified to a 
third-party forest standard, rapidly renewable plant materials like bamboo 
and st raw, dimension stone, recycled stone, recycled metal, and other 
product s that are non-toxic, reusable, renewable, and recyclable.
4) Natural Ventilation 
Natural vent ilation is the process of supplying and removing air through an 
indoor space without using mechanical systems. 
20 
The natural vent ilation helps in: 
 Improved indoor air quality 
 Energy savings 
 Reduct ion of greenhouse gas emissions 
 Occupant cont rol 
 Reduct ion in occupant illness associated with Sick Building Syndrome 
 Increased worker product ivity 
How Natural Ventilation apply in this project? 
The community hall will apply the technique of natural vent ilation to save the 
elect rical energy by improve the vent ilation system by using natural method. 
Many of the windows are install in the hall for vent ilation purpose. 
The cold air from out side will come in from the window at West -south, and 
then it flow indoor and absorb the heat energy inside. I f there dun have 
window at the opposite side, the air that absorbed hot air will swirling inside 
the house, then make the house suffocat ing. Therefore, the project applies 
many windows and clerestory the design in order to keep the hall in 
moderate temperature.

Process to getting the approval of the authority 
1. Submit and obtain development approval through OSC(Kuala Lumpur one 
stop centre) 
Builders can now apply for construction permits through OSC 1Submission (single 
entry). OSC will then refer the submissions to the Planning Department, Building 
Department, Engineering Department, Fire and Rescue Department, Sewerage 
Agency and Water Agency. 
OSC will issue the development approval (planning approvals, building approvals, 
engineering approvals, fire safety plan endorsements, water approvals, and 
sewerage works approvals) to the builder. 
Building company will submit and obtain approval through OSC for the following 
documents: 
• Planning plan 
• Building plan 
• Engineering plan (earthwork, road & drainage plan, road excavation permit, and 
street lighting plan) 
• Landscape plan 
• Water supply plan 
• Sewerage plan 
• Infrastructure communication plan 
• Fire safety plan 
2. Submit pre-construction notifications to OSC 
Under OSC 1Submission, all notifications are submitted via OSC. OSC will then 
distribute notifications to the relevant agencies such as: 
• Building Department (B Form - notification to start building work) 
• Engineering Department (B Form - notification to start earthwork) 
• Sewerage Certifying Agency (IWK) (PDC 6 Form - notification to start sewerage 
work) 
3. Request final utilities inspections through OSC 
Under OSC 1Submission, the builder has to request for inspections via OSC. OSC will 
arrange and coordinate inspections and connections schedule with relevant 
agencies 
4. Receive road and drainage inspection from Engineering Department of 
CHKL 
Once the road and drainage works have been completed, building company will 
request the road and drainage clearance letter from the Engineering Department of 
CHKL. Building Company must also submit a construction report notification. By 
signing form G-17, the engineer certifies that all works were carried out according to 
regulations. Form G-17 is then filed along with Form F (Certificate of Completion and 
Compliance) via OSC to the Engineering Department.

This site is surrounded by resident ial area. Our site is windy due to the surrounded t rees. According to what we had observed, the land is empty. I t just provide a simple playground and doesn’t have any sit t ing area or act ivities for peoples. Therefore, all the resident do not go there. They just use some part of the land as dumping area. We decided to use this site as it has a great potent ial to provide a successful recreat ional area for all the resident s. Our original site

  • 9. Proposal 1: Zen Garden (Chong Kit Yee 0319748) Concept The topic we choose for our project is Recreational Area. The main reason we decided to propose a recreational area is because we noticed that there is lack of place for residents to relax and gather. So each of us prepare one proposal for this recreational area. After we choose this topic, I decided to make our site with more relaxing place. So I choose Japanese Zen Garden concept. Japanese Zen Garden known as Japanese Rock Garden as well, because it creates a miniature stylized landscape through carefully composed arrangements of rocks, water features, moss , bushes, and gravel which represents ripples in water. Moreover, I planned to put a jogging track for residents to have a healthy lifestyle. Also, a playground for the children in the residential area. 9 <<<< Examples of gravel patterns Traditional Japanese Fountain >>>>>
  • 10. Understanding of Zen Garden 10 The Japanese rock garden ( karesansui ) or "dry landscape" garden, often called a Zen garden, creates a miniature stylized landscape through carefully composed arrangement s of rocks, water features, moss, pruned t rees and bushes, and uses gravel or sand that is raked to represent ripples in water. A Zen garden is usually relat ively small, surrounded by a wall, and is usually meant to be seen while seated from a single viewpoint out side the garden, such as the porch of the hojo, the residence of the chief monk of the temple or monastery. Classical Zen gardens were created at temples of Zen Buddhism in Kyoto, Japan during the Muromachi Period. They were intended to imitate the int imate essence of nature, not it s actual appearance, and to serve an aid to meditat ion about the t rue meaning of life. The select ion and placement of rocks is the most important part of making a Japanese rock garden. In the first known manual of Japanese gardening, the Sakuteiki, ' "Creat ing a garden" is expressed as "set t ing stones", ishiwotaterukoto; literally, the "act of set t ing stones upright ." I t laid out very specific rules for choice and the placement of stones, and warned that if the rules were not followed the owner of the garden would suffer misfortune. In Japanese gardening, rocks are classified as either tall vert ical, low vert ical, arching, reclining, or flat . Gravel is usually used in Zen gardens, rather than sand, because it is less disturbed by rain and wind. The act of raking the gravel into a pat tern recalling waves or rippling water has an aesthet ic funct ion. Stone arrangement s and other miniature element s are used to represent mountains and natural water element s and scenes, islands, rivers and waterfalls. Stone and shaped shrubs (karikomi, hako-zukuri topiary) are used interchangeably. In most gardens moss is used as a ground cover to create "land" covered by forest .
  • 11. 11 Why Zen Garden? From my observat ion on the site, peoples around this area need to be relax and relief st ress recreat ional area. A Zen garden can be perfect place for the specialized meditat ive act ivities. A big part of the part icular appeal of Zen garden is it s enigmat ic character. Besides, a Zen garden takes very lit t le maintenance. Tradit ionally, users spend t ime in a Zen garden taking the sand into different pat terns that mimic water in an ocean or sea. Zen garden does not require specific daily maintenance, as for flower beds and other installat ions.

  • 18. Proposal 2: Green Community Hall (Chong Jia Yi 0320869) In my 30m x 40m site that located in a park, I found that there are lacks of public space for the residents to conduct events and for recreational purpose. Furthermore, the park is under maintenance and the facilities are spoiled. The surrounding of the site is dirty because some irresponsible resident dumping rubbish under the tree and lack of inspection of local authority. Therefore, I choose to propose a community hall for the client, as it benefit both client and the community surrounding. PROJECT CONCEPT: Green and eco-friendly 18 1) Roof top garden Green roof is a roof of a building that is part ially or completely covered with vegetation and a growing medium, planted over a waterproofing membrane. I t may also include addit ional layers such as a root barrier and drainage and irrigat ion systems. I integrated roof top garden to t he community hall design because it :  Reduced energy use: Green roofs absorb heat and act as insulators for buildings  Reduced air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions: By lowering air condit ioning demand. Vegetat ion can also remove air pollutant s and greenhouse gas emissions  Improved human health and comfort: by reducing heat t ransfer through the building roof  Improved quality of life of the residents
  • 19. 19 2) Daylight The two primary reasons for using daylight to meet the illuminat ion requirement s of the community hall are the psychological benefits and the energy savings benefits. Good daylight ing has been shown to improve the overall at t itude, sat isfact ion and well being of building occupant s. I t can result in significant energy savings by reducing elect ric light ing loads and associated cooling loads. In addit ion, with proper solar cont rol, solar gains during cooling load periods can be mit igated and solar gains during heat ing load periods can be ut ilized, reducing the energy requirement s of both cooling and heat ing a space. 3) Recycled construction material Some building materials are lumber from forest s that have been cert ified to a third-party forest standard, rapidly renewable plant materials like bamboo and st raw, dimension stone, recycled stone, recycled metal, and other product s that are non-toxic, reusable, renewable, and recyclable.
  • 20. 4) Natural Ventilation Natural vent ilation is the process of supplying and removing air through an indoor space without using mechanical systems. 20 The natural vent ilation helps in:  Improved indoor air quality  Energy savings  Reduct ion of greenhouse gas emissions  Occupant cont rol  Reduct ion in occupant illness associated with Sick Building Syndrome  Increased worker product ivity How Natural Ventilation apply in this project? The community hall will apply the technique of natural vent ilation to save the elect rical energy by improve the vent ilation system by using natural method. Many of the windows are install in the hall for vent ilation purpose. The cold air from out side will come in from the window at West -south, and then it flow indoor and absorb the heat energy inside. I f there dun have window at the opposite side, the air that absorbed hot air will swirling inside the house, then make the house suffocat ing. Therefore, the project applies many windows and clerestory the design in order to keep the hall in moderate temperature.
