5. The first indoor stadium in Malaysia, Stadium Negara
situated at Jalan Stadium and is appropriate next to
Stadium Merdeka. Construc�on of Stadium Negara
started in 1960 and authorita�vely open on 10 April
1962 by the third Yang Di-Pertuan Agong. The general
development cost of Stadium Negara was RM34
million.million. The stadium is completely self-cooled and has
10200 perpetual seats. It was one of the ini�al
couple of present day structural outline structures
in Malaysia amid that period. Stadium Negara
experienced redesign in 1982 due to water leakage in
the old roof.

8. HISTORY
25 Sept 1956 - 21 Aug 1957:
Built to have the Thomas Cup
17,Sept 1963:
Malaya became Malaysia. Stadium Negara was reported by Yang Di-Pertuan Agong as one of the eight typical na�onal structures.
1960’s:
SStadium Negara was built by S.E.Jewkes., Public Works Department and become well known for the biggest unsupported inward roo�op.
1985:
The roo�op was supplanted by space-outline arch which helps in the ven�la�on of the building
February 2003:
Stadium Merdeka was named a na�onal legacy building
2007:
Merdeka Stadium experienced reclama�on to its unique 1957 condi�on. The 45,000-limit stadium has been lessened to 20,000.

9. Stanley Edward Jewkes was an American architect as well as an engineer. His close rela�onship with Malaysia's then Prime Minis-
ter Tunku Abdul Rahman led to his construc�on of prominent architectural commission in Malaysia including the famous Stadium
Merdeka and Stadium Negara. He prac�ced in Malaysia from 1941 un�l 1962. He then con�nued to work in the United States for a
mul�-na�onal architectural and engineering prac�ce.
In 1941, JIn 1941, Jewkes came to Malaysia to join the Public Works Department (PWD). He served first in the districts of Krian and Keroh.
He was then asked to become the head of the new Design and Research Branch. From 1959 to 1962, Jewkes became the Director
of the Public Works Department. As a director, he made sure that the PWD’s engineering department capabili�es were on the
same level with most developed na�ons in the world. He also reworked and clarified traffic circula�ons around the city, as well as
supervised the construc�on of Klang Gates Dam for KL’s water supply. At the same �me of being the Director of the PWD, Jewkes
worworked as a lecturer, teaching Advanced Engineering at the KL Technical College.
For his buildings, the Stadium Merdeka won an award given by the Badan Warisan Malaysia for having the tallest prestressed
structure in the world during that �me, as well as having one of the longest can�levered shell roofs in the world.

Stadium Negara is located at Jalan Stadium,
Bukit Bintang, 50150 Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah
Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur. It is quite near to
Kuala Lumpur as it’s distance from Kuala
Lumpur is only 2km. This is especially
cconvenient for users to access and also easily
spo�ed as it is built on a small hill. Moreover,
the sta�on is located at the south-west side of
Stadium Negara and is only a 6 minute walk
from Hang Tuah train sta�on to Stadium
Negara. .The coordinate of Stadium is 3°8ʹ26ʺN
101°42ʹ10ʺE. At the side of the building there
arare 80 parking spaces for visitors to park their
car.

1. STADIUM CHIN WOO
OOtadium Chin Woo was open in 1953. It was con-
structed by by Dato Y. T. Lee. The outline of this build-
ing is Art Deco which is not quite the same as Otadi-
um Negara, which is more towards Brutalism plan.
The engineering style of this building is present day
which is same as Otadium Negara .The principle
reason for this stadium is for game occasions which
finished with game offices. The limit of this building
is around 2000 visitors while Otadium Negara can fit
in just about 10,000 individuals.
Figure 2.2.1 Map showing the buildings around Stadium Negara.
Figure 2.2.2 Chin Woo Stadium.
There are several landmarks that surrounding Otadium Negara. Otadium Merdeka is located behind Otadium Negara (facing south-
west). While next to Otadium Negara is Chin Woo stadium whereas OJK(C) Jalan Davidson with a prominent pediment can been
seen on the opposite of Otadium Negara. The nearest residen�al building is Casa Residency Condominium and Ori Emas condo-
minium which located just right in front Otadium Negara. Further away, Ibu Pejabat Polis Kon�jen is located beside those
residen�al buildings.

The temperatures are always high
and humid throughout the year in
Malaysia. The average room tem-
perature remains between 25 to 35
degree Celsius. However, the tem-
perature in Kuala Lumpur is warmer
due to the warm air trapped inside
the city.

Prior to the vault redesign, the sunken material framework enables an insignificant measure of twist to enter
the working through ven�la�on crevices. A�er the suspended round roo�op was included, the plan could con-
quer streamlined development. Wind development changed from direct contact with the façade to moving
over the arch, enabling more twist to enter the stadium. This enhances the stadium's ven�la�on framework,
applying innova�on into design, giving the building its advanced a�ributes.
The curved roo�op before redesign has
insignificant common ligh�ng as light can
just infiltrate through a par�cular area to
enter the stadium while the new remod-
eled stadium as a PVC vault roo�op en-
ables most extreme regular ligh�ng to
enter through the roo�op and enter the
sstadium.
This is to allow rain to run off and
also improved the air circula�on in
the interior. When the stadium get
crowded, the hot air will raised to
the center of the roof and release
at the �p of the roof, where ven�-
la�on opening is placed.
CLIMATE RESPONSE
Stadium Negara was located on a li�le slope which makes the building higher
than other building which implies Stadium Negara will exposed more to day-
light. Keeping in mind the end goal to take care of this issue, the designer
chose to make addi�onal openings to the building. Other than that, the type
of the building enables more daylight and twist to enter into the building.

The idea of Stadium Negara was
configura�on like a circle and
concentric to the inside by the
encompassing stadium. The
structure of the stadium was like
an earthen bowl. Which looking
from far away, the individualis�c
componecomponent of the building like
geometric shape from the out-
side of the stadium had made it
emerge among with other build-
ing adjacent the road.
There’re two main entrance in
this stadium, which are the pri-
mary passage and the back-entry-
way entrance. There is just a
single principle passageway from
the south piece of the stadium,
Which the majority of the general
popula�on arranging to sec�on
the field like game or show occa-
sions. On the inverse side of the
stadium, which is the secondary
passage to get to the stadium.
There has a private parking areas
simply outside the secondary
passage entrance. There are two
sub access to permit individuals
coordinate get to the stadium
which situated inverse of the fun-
damental entrance where adja-
cent the backstage passage.
The structure is built in a round-
about strategy where the course
of space is brought together
from each passages driving
toward the middle, which is the
field or stage. Con�ngent upon
the occasions, the seats that are
ffound nearer to the middle has
more preferred standpoint as it
has be�er view and furthermore
client can encounter characteris-
�c daylight from the roo�op. The
passageway on the south is
mostly for open u�lize while the
passageway on the north side
will lead them to the stage/field
in this manner it is a private area.
Different doorways to the stadi-
um and the dissemina�on of the
space has the benefit of having a
superior stream of course.
Stadium Negara can be suit for
10,000 individuals in the stadium.
In light of the floor arrange, the
basic of the building is shape like
a circle, which the field was incor-
porated on the middle what's
more, encompassing by the
seseats. The heading of seats was
addi�onally stream with bended
line in one enormous circle. To
enable the gatherings of people

day engineering. The building is developed
from concentric rings, giving the building its
personality in the state of a round arch.
Repe��on of circles forms the whole building

the front row seat and lastly to the field or
stage. A repe��on in ver�cal lines and triangu-
lar shapes are straigh�orward and geometrical

The Stadium Negara was constructed to
host the Thomas Cup Badminton tourna-
ment as a result of winning the 1949
Thomas Cup against the Dutch. (”Thomas
cup Winners”, 2012) Therefore, it is built as
a symbol to showcase Malaysia’s then new
iden�ty of decoloniza�on. The bicycle
wheelwheel was a representa�on of Malaysia’s
strong specialty in sports, especially bad-
minton, with which the roof of the Stadi-
um Negara was built in reference t
The architect Jewkes grew up and studied in
the United States was influenced by several
Western architecture styles for his design.
While working in Jabatan Kerja Raya (JKR
formerly PWD), he was appointed to design
the Stadium Negara. (Chan, 2007) He adapt-
ed and modified the architecture styles to
bebecome more suitable and prac�cal for
buildings in tropical climates like Malaysia.

The terrace seats of the stadium are le� in their bare concrete finishes which is a
domina�ng characteris�c of brutalist architecture.
The architect employed several types of
different elements into his design, some with
intricate details. The lack of symmetry of the
façade can be generalized as expressionism in
architecture.
The emphasis on horizontality with
less curves and more straight lines is
observed in the design of Stadium
Negara.

walls, overhang canopies and slant-

Three phases of construc�on of Stadium Negara
The construc�on of Stadium Negara can be broken down into
3 phases: the roof, the terrace levels and the ground floor
(arena level).
The original stadium designed by Stanley Edward Jewkes possessed a highly admired
suspended roof. The architect had tackled all engineering barriers to devise a
300-foot diameter roof without the use of columns. This splendid roof turned out to
have a limited lifespan as it had to be redone 20 years[1962-1982] a�er its construc-
�on due to water leakage.
The metal support structure has been designed based on Fuller’s tensegrity dome.
As was the suspended roof back in the 60’s, the dome roof today is the most remarkable feature of the stadium. The massive 100 feet diameter roof is made
with corrugated plas�c sheets on top of a ceiling of hard board. Galvanised iron pipes were used to make 2 layers for the support structure: an inner roof and
an outer structure for the main roof, connected by trusses.

Further support is provided to the circular dome ceiling by big rectangular
wooden columns surrounding the uppermost terrace level. This has granted the
building the possibility to have a clerestory along the circumference of the ceil-
ing.
The ceiling is supported by sloping tubular metal columns outside the stadium

The sea�ng arrangement in the stadium is sloped around the arena. This technique has been used for millennia; an example being the Olympia stadium
found in Greece. This design enables every member of the audience to have a clear view of the show without obstruc�on from the person in front.
Addi�onally this shape keeps the crowd compact. The smaller the stadium, the louder cheering sounds since sound loses energy as it travels. Therefore,
the sloping sea�ng arrangement contributes to making the ambiance as electric and engaging as possible.
Concrete was used as the base of
some seats and in all staircases for
several reasons:
-Fire resistance
-Affordability
-Easily moulded into curved sur-
face using appropriate formwork.
-Strength and durability.
The wooden seats however lack a concrete base but all the seats are con-
nected by concrete staircases.
There are several types of seats in the stadium, depending on the type
of �cket. Most of them are placed on a concrete base.
30. 5.3 TERRACE LEVELS
VENTILATION FLOORING
ARENA
The arena is a circular surface found in the middle of the stadium. It is on a lower
level and is the place where performances take place.
It is covered in wood flooring in the Herrington pa�ern for the most part and some
ceramic �ling for decora�ve purposes.
The reason wood has been chosen as primary flooring material is because it ab-
sorbs sound waves. This prevents echo and excessive noise during singing perfor-
mances.

On the terrace level, Jewkes designed the seats in an a�empt to boost ven�la-
�on inside the stadium. Thus, a large tunnel was built connec�ng the middle ter-
race whereby air is blown out the concrete slits as well as the backs and arms of
upholstered seats

Entrance Hallway
Figure 6.2.2 Reflective sliding glass door Figure 6.2.3 View to outside can be seen clearly
The entrance door is a full- length sliding glass door with overhead windows above it. The glass used is reflec�ve and has a mirror-like nature to allow for one-way visi-
bility. The reflec�ve coa�ng helps to keep the stadium cool by reflec�ng the heat off the glass. As glass is used, it allows greater penetra�on of sunlight to transmit into
the entrance hall. Visitors will feel a sense of welcoming and harmonize when entering a brighter place.
There are �cket booths placed on both sides of the glass entrance. These �cket booths will
only be opened during the events to facilitate �cket collec�on. When no event is happening,
it will be closed as seen in theFigure 6.2.4 and 6.2.5.
To transi�on from the entrance hall to the arena, the visitor must go
through a hallway. This hallway was dark, had a low ceiling and invoke
a feeling of a small enclosed space. I guess this was to highlight to the
visitor the big size of the arena and create a ‘wow’ moment as they
enter the arena.

As one walks alongside Stadium Negara,
one can see that many types and shapes of
windows that adorn the façade of the exte-
rior wall. The aim of having many types of
windows is to make the façade aesthe�c,
while at the same �me to allow air ven�la-
�on and light penetra�on into the stadium.
The types of windThe types of windows that can be found is
fixed windows (a), sliding windows (b),
casement windows (c), louvered windows
(d) as seen in Diagram 6.4.1..

At the entrance, above the sliding glass
doors, are some overhead windows which
consist of four pieces of louvered clear
glass arranged at an angle which allows air
ven�la�on and prevent rainwater from en-
tering at the same �me.

In the arena, there is a ring of external ver�cal
louvers which provide a clear storey of reflected
light into the arena without its heated compo-
nents. These ver�cal louvers, made from gold
and bronze anodized aluminium, are electrically
operated by remote control. (Lai, 2007) . The
ver�cal louvres will only be opened during the
dday to allow light to enter. As for evening use,
the stadium will lit up with high power flood-
lights, spotlights and color change lights which
are mounted around the arena.

The column support system in Stadium
Negara were shaped so that they were in
juxtaposi�on to the shape of their sur-
roundings.
In the rectangular-shaped entrance
hall, the columns were all circular,
even the fi�ng at the top of the
column was designed to bring the cir-
cular essence of the roof into this
space. It emulated the shape of the
old flat roof. Upon closer inspec�on
of theof the column, I no�ced that the origi-
nal column was not painted yellow, it
was covered with dark grey mosaic
�les which suited the surrounding
color scheme be�er.
Solid �mber columns installed around the
arena supports the ceiling and beams.
These columns act as both structural
column and decora�ve column. The place-
ment of columns was accurately measured
so they do not look closely packed which
might obstruct the penetra�on of natural
liglight into the arena. Instead of using cylin-
der column which suits the circular building
massing, rectangular prism column was
chosen to give the visitors a sense of stabili-
ty and secure.

42. 5.6 SEATING
In the stadium, there are different types of sea�ng being provided.
Based on my observa�on, the seats are not placed in random and
is built according to its loca�on from the main entrance and the
main ac�vity space of the arena. The price of �ckets will be based
on the type of seat purchased.
In figure 5.6.2, the seats are made from red cushion and have
back and arm rest so it is the most comfortable compared to the
others. As the stadium was used for important events, these seats
are made for the important VIPs who were invited to the event.
These seats are placed there as they are near the entrance and is
easily accessible. In figure 5.6.3, the seats also have backrest and
armrest looks like it is made from leather. However, they are not
asas comfortable nor as striking in color as the red seats.

Around the rest of the arena are seats for the spectators. Sea�ng is divided into upper and lower areas. Seats located on the upper �er are made
from concrete as seen in figure 5.6.4. There are small openings on the ver�cal surfaces of the seats which allow sufficient air ven�la�on. Seats are
inspired by the form of staircase, allow back res�ng when user sit on one of the surfaces.
TTowards the stage, seats consist of layered concrete overlapped with wooden planks as the finishing as seen in figure 5.6.5. These seats able to
get be�er views of the center core rather than from the upper �er as it costs more and allow comfort sea�ng. Layering of seats able to provide
users to experience different scenes from different perspec�ves. These lower �er seats were also removeable to allow for a larger arena area if
this was required.

As for air ven�la�on, Sir Stanley said that air ven�la�on was crucial to be near the spectators as so to remove heat and humidity from their
bodies, and devised an addi�onal system for this. Fresh air was introduced into the tunnel surrounding the amphitheater under the middle ter-
races, and from this tunnel, air is blown through narrow seats in the concrete terrace sec�ons as seen in Figure 5.6.6. Air is also streamed in sec-
�ons through controllable channels in the arms and backs of the upholstered seats. According to PWD, this principle was also applied in aircra�s
and shiand ships and Stadium Negara was the first building to be employed with this principle. So through a high speed jet of air, comfort was brought to
the spectators without inducing bulk air movement for that might upset the flights of airborne shu�lecocks during the tournaments. (Lai, 2007)
45. 7.0 conclusion
In this project, my group and I got an op-
portunity to research on one of the mon-
umental structures in our country, Stadi-
um Negara. We had to conduct a site visit
to the historical building to experience
and see the building for ourselves to
complete this report. Throughout this
project, we get to learn some architectur-
al features and document it in the form
of wri�ngs, diagramming and pictures.
We also realized that only through a site
visite, by being at the place in bady and
in person can one feel the spirit of the
place. The architecture style of Stadium
Negara is dominated by the fusion of sev-
eral sources, including Western style ar-
chitecture and Islamic style architecture
which are adapted to suit the climate of
Malaysia and also represents a unifica�on
of culture and race in our country
