2. In this project, we have to work in group of two people and find a specific
empty land with an expanse of 900m2
- 1200m2
. We have to initiate a small
construction project at the chosen area.
To accomplish this project, we have to study about the building development
which include, the suggestion, rationale, benefits and the impacts of our project to
the client and the surrounding community and the end user.
We should propose one project that serves one of the following purpose;
recreation area, commercial area, industrial area, agriculture area, tourism area,
and residential area. For our group, we chose to propose a project on recreation
area.

10. After doing the research, I decided to propose a project on recreation area.
I decided to develop a recreation area because from my observation, there is no
recreation area around that place. I realized that people will need a placed for
them to play together, exercising and resting while spending their time with nature.
This site will be the most suitable site as it is located near with the forest.
My recreation will consist of three spaces which is playing area, resting
area and exercising area. As the site is located near to residential area, playing
area is a must for the children to play. Exercising area is provided to encourage
the residents to practice a healthy life style.
My aim is to change this unused empty land to a friendly and relaxing area
for everyone to used. It will be built in combination of soft scape and hardscape,
integrating as much natural element as possible by simultaneously introducing
new, non-interfering yet beneficial structure, resulting in the creation of a natural
and useful landscape to have recreation activity

11. My design will be on closeness to bring people together in unity with nature
elements. People will be drawn together by the planning that encourages and
allows closure and fellowship.
This design will brings people into friendly environment. As the site is beside
the forest, it will be good environment for the user especially for those who doing
exercising as the forest will provided them with sufficient oxygen. The planning
also make them close to one another. It allows people to get together to have a
close, meaningful relationship with each other while still having their own privacy.
They can have friends meeting, a stress-relieving retreat and play together. For
some people, it is a place for them to have a little time to break from busy
schedule.
12. The surrounding residential neighborhoods are stable with well-maintained
homes. Recreation area will provide a activity hub for people from all ages. As the
existing recreation area is far from the site area, a nearer new recreation area is
needed by the residents who live around the site. The recreation area will be a
public area that can be used by everyone and anytime. Moreover, the site that
surrounded by trees give peaceful feeling to the users. The values provided by a
functioning recreation area include, but are not limited to:
- Strengthening the “sense of community”.
- Effective use of recreation’s property for the benefit of the
community
- Improvement in health
The recreation area is an open space where everyone can enter any time.
So it will be dangerous for kids who came without their guardian. This because
cases like kidnapping can happen as the no guard to petrol the area. Moreover,
the site is quite hidden from people’s view.
Besides that, poisonous animals like snake can enter the site as the site is
located near the forest.
