Scale and proportion
"The most beautiful and pleasant cities which survive in the world today have all
been conceived with buildings of between two and five floors," he wrote in
"Architecture: Choice or Fate," his influential book on the development of
human-scale cities. "There is no ecologically defensible justification for the
erection of utilitarian skyscrapers; they are built for speculation, short-term
gain or out of pretentiousness.
"The universal limitation of building heights to between two and five stories"The universal limitation of building heights to between two and five stories
would both protect historic centers threatened with overdevelopment and at the
same time encourage the redevelopment of the suburbs. Instead of inflating the
cost of buildings in the center, such a limitation would contribute to an
increase in property values in those areas that remain arbitrarily
undervalued."

Different design and scale of building serve different purpose but not same
design in different scale to different amount of people and its purpose.

Stack ventilation and airwellPitched roof vs Flat roof
Building too depending on
fossil fuel
Pitched roof absorb lesser heat with the smaller
exposure area compared to the flat roof that mostly
found on site.
Heigh ceiling
Low carbon
footprint material
Modern buildings are too much depending on
fossil fuel making the building unable to self-
sustain without them.
Most of the buildings there such as the shops and office buildings are high in energy
consumption, mechanical ventilation such as air conditioner are often used to cool down the
building hence the electric bill costly as the building survive based mostly on fossil fuel.
Passive design such as utilizing stack ventilation, cross ventilation, glazing, material
choice with low embodied energy and low carbon footprint will be most suitable to achieve
sustainability.

3. Public buildings and private buildings are
to be within walking distance less than
80 acres so that the use of public transport
can be minimize and walk to different
destination generalize healthy lifestyle is
more convenient.

Social issue are existed due to vertical sprawl and overdeveloped cities,
many architects and urban planner are ignoring this and less concern
about this issue. Even though the site doesn’t have the issue of
overdevelopment but traffic jams issue still often happened on site.
Pollution can happen because of large amount of toxic gases such as
carbon monoxide has been produced by many cars and motorcycles when
they’re waiting and passing around there actually affect those who livethey’re waiting and passing around there actually affect those who live
nearby.
