CORAL
Achieving the perfect
balance between technology
and humanity in architecture
enables it to sustain
continuous growth. Corals
constantly rebuild their living
structures, allowing steady
flows of abundant sea animals
to make them their home and
feeding ground. Our vision is
to build a city where life flows
efficiently without limitation.
LEAF
Despite ever-changing
conditions, a leaf works to
supply food to the rest of the
plant while providing the
atmosphere with oxygen. We
believe in building cities
whose individual parts
constantly support each
other, resulting in systems
that are forever productive.
SHELL
Cities must be built with
occupants in mind,
making them habitats
conducive to live in for a
lifetime. Very much like a
shell, it constantly
improves its home,
rendering its shelter to
perfection, and lives in
harmony with its natural
habitat. Our foremost
concern is not only the
present but also the future
comforts of the people
who live within our city.

The focal point is located at the Station sentral kl because it has
the lowest height compared to surrounding building
KL Central Sheltered from Sun
Due to the strategic location of KL central in the middle of the
group of buildings which are taller, the hub is sheltered from
direct sun lightThe elevation sketch shows the hierarchy of KL Sentral.

External metal louver screen provide sun shading system
to lower the building temperature like leaf use
photosynthesis to produce oxygen by absorbing light,
water and carbon dioxide.
Glass
Concrete
The materials are mostly or all glass like leaf to
absorb the sunlight which use for photosynthesis
Usage of opaque material at ground to first floor
level provide security to the user, and enhance the
sense of direction / location of openings
Usage of transparent material like glass on the
upper floors improve the overall light condition at
site by allowing sun light penetration to increase
natural lifted space. Like the leaf absorb sunlight
and use it as the main energy source.

station, it corresponds to the distance someone can walk in 5
minutes at 4.8km/h.
It becomes more encouraging with the covered walkway to shelter
against rain, zebra crossing, traffic light, 24 hour securities for each
drop off area. This creates a common space shared by low-wage
service workers as well as high value knowledge workers and
creative professionals.
With 400m walking distance residents have easy access to daily

rendering its shelter to perfection, and lives in
harmony with its natural habitat. Our foremost

Movement
and
Circulation
The use of the loop circulation planning in KL Central can be viewed as a future vision to
decrease the traffic issue, hence comfort level of the users within the site when the population
density increases
However, the lack of consideration of the adjacent site and the actual traffic condition at site
limited the execution of the vision
Form
The order of the building are designed to be consistent walkability space. However, the
planning introduce diffuse space and lower down security around the site. Also, the lack of
balance between built form and landscape decrease the comfort level of the residents.
