Introduction
In this Introduction to Contruction Industry (ICI) final project, we
worked as a group to propose a project that serve either as
recreational area, commercial area, industrial area, argigultural
area, tourism area and residential area within a 30m×30m or
30m×40m land. This proposal should be benefits both the client &
surrounding community. Some additional information such as some
basic information of authority & cost planning document are
suggested to add in to the proposal. We conducted a site visit to
our site, Taman Desa Jaya in Kepong, in order to collect
information about the site. After making some analysis around the
site, we decided to create a recreational area with 2 alternative
proposal in the site.

We choose a site which located at Taman Desa Jaya, Kepong. This site is
surrounded by resident ial area. Our site is windy due to the surrounded t rees.
According to what we had observed, the land is empty. I t just provide a simple
playground and doesn’t have any sit t ing area or act ivities for peoples.
Therefore, all the resident do not go there. They just use some part of the land
as dumping area. We decided to use this site as it has a great potent ial to
provide a successful recreat ional area for all the resident s.

Circulation
Sunlight- Our site area is well shaded because there are t resses plant ing at the
east .
Wind direction – The place are windy because the breeze can enter the place
from west .
Human circulation – The human act ivities focus at the area nearby the
playground because there is no sit t ing area and other facilit ies provided.
Car circulation – Car easily to assess from out side as the main roads are
located nearby and roads are surrounding our site.

9. Proposal 1: Zen Garden (Chong Kit Yee 0319748)
Concept
The topic we choose for our project is Recreational Area. The main reason
we decided to propose a recreational area is because we noticed that
there is lack of place for residents to relax and gather. So each of us
prepare one proposal for this recreational area.
After we choose this topic, I decided to make our site with more relaxing
place. So I choose Japanese Zen Garden concept. Japanese Zen Garden
known as Japanese Rock Garden as well, because it creates a miniature
stylized landscape through carefully composed arrangements of rocks,
water features, moss , bushes, and gravel which represents ripples in water.
Moreover, I planned to put a jogging track for residents to have a healthy
lifestyle. Also, a playground for the children in the residential area.

10. Understanding of Zen Garden
10
The
Japanese
rock garden
( karesansui )
or "dry
landscape"
garden,
often called
a Zen garden,
creates a
miniature stylized landscape through carefully composed arrangement s of
rocks, water features, moss, pruned t rees and bushes, and uses gravel or sand
that is raked to represent ripples in water. A Zen garden is usually relat ively
small, surrounded by a wall, and is usually meant to be seen while seated
from a single viewpoint out side the garden, such as the porch of the hojo, the
residence of the chief monk of the temple or monastery. Classical Zen
gardens were created at temples of Zen Buddhism in Kyoto, Japan during
the Muromachi Period. They were intended to imitate the int imate essence of
nature, not it s actual appearance, and to serve an aid to meditat ion about
the t rue meaning of life.
The select ion and placement of rocks is the most important part of making a
Japanese rock garden. In the first known manual of Japanese gardening, the
Sakuteiki, ' "Creat ing a garden" is expressed as "set t ing stones",
ishiwotaterukoto; literally, the "act of set t ing stones
upright ." I t laid out very specific rules for choice and
the placement of stones, and warned that if the
rules were not followed the owner of the garden
would suffer misfortune. In Japanese gardening,
rocks are classified as either tall vert ical, low vert ical,
arching, reclining, or flat .
Gravel is usually used in Zen gardens, rather than
sand, because it is less disturbed by rain and wind.
The act of raking the gravel into a pat tern recalling
waves or rippling water has an aesthet ic funct ion.
Stone arrangement s and other miniature element s
are used to represent mountains and natural water
element s and scenes, islands, rivers and waterfalls. Stone and shaped shrubs
(karikomi, hako-zukuri topiary) are used interchangeably. In most gardens
moss is used as a ground cover to create "land" covered by forest .

Why Zen Garden?
From my observat ion on the site, peoples around this area need to be relax
and relief st ress recreat ional area. A Zen garden can be perfect place for the
specialized meditat ive act ivities. A big part of the part icular appeal of Zen
garden is it s enigmat ic character. Besides, a Zen garden takes very lit t le
maintenance. Tradit ionally, users spend t ime in a Zen garden taking the sand
into different pat terns that mimic water in an ocean or sea. Zen garden does
not require specific daily maintenance, as for flower beds and other
installat ions.

18. Proposal 2: Green Community Hall (Chong Jia Yi 0320869)
In my 30m x 40m site that located in a park, I found that there are
lacks of public space for the residents to conduct events and for
recreational purpose. Furthermore, the park is under maintenance
and the facilities are spoiled. The surrounding of the site is dirty
because some irresponsible resident dumping rubbish under the
tree and lack of inspection of local authority. Therefore, I choose
to propose a community hall for the client, as it benefit both client
and the community surrounding.
PROJECT CONCEPT: Green and eco-friendly
18
1) Roof top garden
Green roof is a roof of a building that is part ially or completely covered with
vegetation and a growing medium, planted over a waterproofing
membrane. I t may also include addit ional layers such as a root barrier and
drainage and irrigat ion systems.
I integrated roof top garden to t he community hall design because it :
Reduced energy use: Green roofs absorb heat and act as insulators for
buildings
Reduced air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions: By lowering air
condit ioning demand. Vegetat ion can also remove air pollutant s and
greenhouse gas emissions
Improved human health and
comfort: by reducing heat
t ransfer through the building
roof
Improved quality of life of the
residents
19. 19
2) Daylight
The two primary reasons for using daylight to meet the illuminat ion
requirement s of the community hall are the psychological benefits and the
energy savings benefits. Good daylight ing has been shown to improve the
overall at t itude, sat isfact ion and well being of building occupant s.
I t can result in significant energy savings by reducing elect ric light ing loads
and associated cooling loads. In addit ion, with proper solar cont rol, solar
gains during cooling load periods can be mit igated and solar gains during
heat ing load periods can be ut ilized, reducing the energy requirement s of
both cooling and heat ing a space.
3) Recycled construction material
Some building materials are lumber from forest s that have been cert ified to a
third-party forest standard, rapidly renewable plant materials like bamboo
and st raw, dimension stone, recycled stone, recycled metal, and other
product s that are non-toxic, reusable, renewable, and recyclable.
20. 4) Natural Ventilation
Natural vent ilation is the process of supplying and removing air through an
indoor space without using mechanical systems.
20
The natural vent ilation helps in:
Improved indoor air quality
Energy savings
Reduct ion of greenhouse gas emissions
Occupant cont rol
Reduct ion in occupant illness associated with Sick Building Syndrome
Increased worker product ivity
How Natural Ventilation apply in this project?
The community hall will apply the technique of natural vent ilation to save the
elect rical energy by improve the vent ilation system by using natural method.
Many of the windows are install in the hall for vent ilation purpose.
The cold air from out side will come in from the window at West -south, and
then it flow indoor and absorb the heat energy inside. I f there dun have
window at the opposite side, the air that absorbed hot air will swirling inside
the house, then make the house suffocat ing. Therefore, the project applies
many windows and clerestory the design in order to keep the hall in
moderate temperature.

• Sewerage Certifying Agency (IWK) (PDC 6 Form - notification to start sewerage
work)
3. Request final utilities inspections through OSC
Under OSC 1Submission, the builder has to request for inspections via OSC. OSC will
arrange and coordinate inspections and connections schedule with relevant
agencies
4. Receive road and drainage inspection from Engineering Department of
CHKL
Once the road and drainage works have been completed, building company will
request the road and drainage clearance letter from the Engineering Department of
CHKL. Building Company must also submit a construction report notification. By
signing form G-17, the engineer certifies that all works were carried out according to
regulations. Form G-17 is then filed along with Form F (Certificate of Completion and
Compliance) via OSC to the Engineering Department.
