3. INTRODUCTION
In this ICI final project, we must find a
partner to form a group of two.We were given a
task, to find a site with the size in between
30x30m(900m²) to 30x40m(1200m²). We were
required to initiate and propose small
construction at the chosen site.
The site should serve one of the following
purposes:
1. Recreation area
2. Commercial area
3. Industrial area
4. Agricultural area
5. Tourism area
6. Residential area
4. INTRODUCTION TO OUR SITE
After we had our discussion together, we
decided to propose this site as a recreation
area. That is Pocket Park.
We had selected an empty land nearby
Taylor’s University Lakeside as our 30x40meter
site.
5. LOCATION PLAN
This is our location plan. Located near
the Taylor’s University Lakeside and
Senza Residence(Bottom-cannot be seen
here)
6. SITE PLAN
The red rectangular shape at left side of
Jalan Taylors is our site.
8. SITE ANALYSIS
SUNLIGHT
In our site, the sunlight come from the east to
west our site. During the sunny day, it will be
very hot because there aren’t any trees.
CIRCULATION
There are many cars passing our site, because
there are two busy street beside our site.
WEATHER
The weather of the site is not so good since
there’s no trees around that area.It’ll be
quite stuffy. When it’s raining, soil erosion
will occurs because the site doesn’t have any
trees and grasses to grab on the soil.
WIND
There will be less wind in our site because
there is a building blocking the wind that blow
to our site.
9. OBSERVATION
There are a few roadways near the site.
Since there are roads, it would be a lot of
cars passing by. The air will be polluted
easily and also the noise pollution cannot be
avoided.
There is a building behind the site, it’s
blocking the air flowing from behind. Only the
wind from east can flow to the site.
There are no plants can be seen around the
site. The air at the site is not fresh and
polluted. Also, the air around there has a
strong stale smell after raining. This kind of
condition is not suitable for living.
10. SKETCH PLAN
This is our original sketch plan. But after
this we decided to change some construction
over here. You can see it in the Master Plan.
11. PERSPECTIVE SKETCH
- This is the entrance to the park from the
Taylor’s University.
- From the entrance, you can see the
beautiful fountain
- The trees give the whole atmosphere the
relaxation feeling.
- Benches are provided which allows the
people to sit down when they’re tired of
walking.
12. MASTER PLAN
This is the
master plan
of our
proposal.

13. BENEFITS AND FACILITIES OF PROPOSAL SITE
Our proposal site is a pocket park. This
park is open to public. Anyone can come
especially for the residents from Senza
Residence, PJS 7 and the students from Taylor’s
University.
14. BENCH
By adding a wooden
bench, it maximizes the
use of space. More
people can be fitted
into the selected area
and it also provides
more seats for people.
By doing so, more people can enjoy the nice
scenery as well as having a place to hang out
with friends. Students can do reading there or
just sit there and rest.
15. STALL
When you are hungry
or thirsty, you can
go to the stall and
have some food or
drinks.
OPEN SPACE
There will be
a large greenly
area. That you
can read your
books, do some
activities, and
enjoy your time
picnic with your
family.
16. FOUNTAIN
Everyone live in an increasingly stressful
world…the sound of water flowing from a water
fountain has a magically relaxing effect.
Everyone can imagine themselves at the ocean,
or by a babbling brook, and everyone may start
to unwind when you were in our pocket park.
17. FISH POND
You can walk around the fish pond and the
fish there are colourful and there have many
different kind of fishes in the pond. You can
also feed them with bread or fish food that
sell in the stall.
GAZEBO
The gazebo is near
by the stall, so
that you can have
your meals in there.
And when you are
tired, you can also
rest over there.
18. CONCEPT
After the site analysis, we came out with
our concept. Our concept is “Love the Earth”.
This concept is to allow the residents and the
students to be closed to the nature. This park
acts as the green lung of the busy city. Also,
it has the rabbit farm area which inspired the
Langkawi Oriental Village. Anyone can go there
to have a look and experience the fun of
feeding the rabbits.
PROJECT REQUIREMENT
19. The types of park should be compliment with
the surrounding area which include
residential area(Senza) and educational
area(Taylor’s University).
Our concept is to allow the nearby
residents and students to relax from the
hectic life. They can relax after the long
week of working and studying or after a
long day.
The designs of the park of the hawker
centre is to keep to the obligation of laws
and codes of practice set by the
authorities:
I.Uniform Building By-laws;
II.Town & Country Planning Act;
III.Department of Occupational Safety and
Health (JKKP)
IV.Suruhanjaya Tenaga Malaysia (TNB);
V.Syarikat Bekalan Air Selangor
SdnBhd(SYABAS);
VI.Majlis Perbandaraan Subang Jaya (MPSJ)
20. ARCHITECTURAL REQUIREMENT
The selection and proposal of construction:
- Fountain
- Rabbit farm
- Hawker stands
The utilities
- Lots of trees
- Benches (sitting area)
- Gazebo (BBQ area)
21. CONCLUSION
In conclusion, we realized that building a
recreation area is not an easy task even it is
at an empty space. We have to think of a lot of
ideas and have to compliment with the
surrounding area. Besides, we also need to do a
lot of research in order to avoid any problems
afterwards. We do hope that this recreational
area can help the students to release their
stress.
