- 3. 1.1 ABSTRACT In a densely populated urban context, people don’t have much open spaces & natural environment for their relaxation and recreational activities. Most of the citizens’ busy and modern lifestyle makes them stay indoors in man made environments for most of their time & are likely to be disconnected from the beauty and vastness of the natural environment that mother nature provides. Hence, this design project aims to break the norm of traditional cultures of urban dwellers, using architecture as a tool for enriching and shaping the surroundings and it’s communities to provide a conducive environment for all to appreciate. I believe that architecture is not only about how it looks like and feels like, but it is also how it works to fulfil the needs of the people.
- 4. 1.2 INTRODUCTION Nestled by the surrounding of Titiwangsa Lake Gardens. The Multimedia Interactive Center emphasizes on the theme of humanity and sustainability, combined with the technology that promotes creativity and interactivity with the people living around the surrounding of the park. The building is designed to reach out to the park while creating flexible and permeable spaces within. This is achieved through the openable and expandable theatre, outdoor amphitheatre and seating as well as expandable studios. 1.3 PROJECT AIMS & OBJECTIVE Multimedia and technology surrounds us in our daily lives, without it there would be no development, modernization and advancement and we would end up living in the past. The Multimedia Interactive Center aims to use what we already have best to further develop, inspire and create more local talents, artists, filmmakers and creative minds. With the strategic location located just beside Istana Budaya and the National Art Gallery, this building further extends the surrounding buildings into the park, opening a space of potential to the public.

- 7. 2.4 MACRO SITE ANALYSIS • Consistent congestions along the hard edges which is the major access point into and out of the city • Public transportation such as LRT, Monorail and Bus helps to combat congestions and can be an alternative for people coming to Titiwangsa. • The diagrams above shoes the overview of transportations, walking directions and 3 main access to the park Overview Traffic Condition & Main Access
- 8. 3.1 MICRO SITE ANALYSIS Views • Total LOT size: 4174 sqmWeakness • Only one entry point • Traffic Congestion • Quiet after working hours Opportunity • Attract existing circulation • Performance spaces Threat • Hot and humid during noon • Heavy traffic leads to danger of pedestrian Strengths • Potential to insert different types of activities • North-South Orientation • Vast views of Titiwangsa Park park road walkway trees S.W.O.T Analysis Titiwangsa is a park that has a strategic location, vastness of views lake and greenery. However, it is an urban park that lacks focal point and identity, with poor master planning and scattered sports & recreational facilities, surrounded by monotonously designed programmes. With the integration of technology into the site. Therefore, this Multimedia Interactive Center aims to break that monotonous activities of the site with a space for everyone to come and create, spectate and motivate themselves to be creative.
- 9. 3.2 PROGRAMME & PROJECT BRIEF Design Intention The aim of the design is to build a Multimedia Interactive Center to integrate the vastness of the park into the building in contrast to the congested city centre. The project also aims to develop appreciation and knowledge of multimedia and communication. The main program of the building consists of a space of relief consisting of Live studios, a flexible theatre, café and multipurpose halls which can be used for galleries and events. The project aims to attract existing park goers and the immediate communities such as families, couples, joggers, students, workers and residents.

- 10. 3.3 PRECEDENT STUDIES The aim of this precedent study is to study the overlapping of open and closed spaces of public and private areas, creating a sense of openness throughout the whole building while connecting spaces and creating public interactions
- 11. 3.4 SITE RESPONSE Site study is conducted in response to designing my building to suit the orientations, views and circulations on site.
- 12. 3.5 DESIGN IDEA & DEVELOPMENT Foreground- Middleground- Background This plate introduces the site such as the communities and activities through a film that focuses on the foreground, middle ground and the background- which is the city to show who, what and why people use the spaces Conclusion: 3 different levels of viewing for different shooting/performance setting
- 13. Stacking Analysis From the Foreground-Background analysis, I’ve came up with the 3 different viewing angles of the park and the building. The aim of this design is to make the building the stage and the park the audience and vice versa. Conclusion: Creates stacked stairs effect of the building to cater to the 3 different criteria.

- 25. 4.1 Sustainable Feature & Elements Reflective White Roof Reflective white roof is one of the best roofing solutions in an era that is focused on sustainability. It could effectively reduce solar heat gain by reflecting the sunlight thus reducing dependency of cooling system and increase energy efficiency. IBS System This building is fully designed using IBS construction which results in elimination of conventional timber props and an obvious decrease of supporting materials, through the use of complete assembly elements or prop system for the onsite casting process. This also speeds up construction Low E Double Glazing Windows Reduces heat gain without obstruction of light penetration
