3. 1.Introduction
This final project marks an end for this subject, Introduction to
Construction Industry in FNBE program.
As a requirement stated in the brief, we have to form a two
members’ group to execute the tasks. We need to find a specific land
area, which is not exceed 30 times 30 metres within the campus area
to initiate a small construction project. The project that we propose
should serves either one of the purposes below:
1. Recreation area
2. Study Enhancement area
3. Rest area
4. Food and beverage (dining area)
5. Commercial area (exclude food and beverage)
Based on the tasks given, we have to study the types of building
development that including suggestions of the construction project,
rationale, its benefits, site analysis, evaluation and the needs of the
project to the client and to the community. Besides, we are also have
to study and find out the building approval process and its
procedures. After gather all the information and ideas, we are
required to compose them into a A4 size bounded report with
minimum 20 pages.
After some discussion, Yu Xian and I (Pui San) are agreed to
propose a recreation area within the campus. Then, we have a
campus tour and eventually both of us are agreed on the same site
that is the best place for our project. Starting off the project, different
research topics and tasks have distributed fairly between both of us.
In order to fulfill the requirements and submit the proposal on the
deadline, we have to work separately. Yu Xian is in charge on finding
the approval form and making a bill of quantities, while I am in
charge of the documentation and others left.

4. 2.Site
Analysis
We choose the site at the promenade by the
lakeside because it serves a bigger space for
us to do a construction project. Our site is
start from the back of block C to the end of
block E beside the lake. Originally, it is an
area that covered with concrete promenade.
Tables and chairs are provided here with
canopy umbrella to create a resting area for
students and lecturers.
From our point of view, this area has less visitors because of its
current location and lack of attraction. In order to activate the space,
we are going to propose a recreational area within the site by adding

resources for rest, relaxation and recuperation, including a

(Zone F parking)
Wind Circulation
Sun Circulation
Human Circulation: Human can access the promenade area from
Zone F parking place and also can access through the walkway
beside the lake within the campus.

7. variety of sports and other activities on public and private
lands so designated for that purpose; including parks,
cottage subdivisions, high-density, non-sewer residential
areas, intensive recreational land use, ski slopes and
recreational beaches.
Recreational areas would also include land that is
designed, constructed, designated, or used for recreational
activities. Examples are national, state, county, or city parks,
other outdoor recreational areas such as golf courses or
swimming pools and bodies of waters (oceans, lakes, rivers,
and streams) when used
by the public for fishing,
swimming, or boating.
Public and private areas
that are predictably used
for hunting, fishing, bird
watching, bike riding,
hiking, or camping or
other recreational use
also would be considered
recreational areas.
After we study about
what is recreational
area, we then import
some basic idea into
our own recreational
area. Our recreational
area is a combination

Figure 3 Type of boat we use in our area

8. of small garden with recreational activities and study area.
For our garden we use the Japanese Zen Garden concept and
we import the fishing and boating activity into our area. We
try to make our area relaxing but people still can have fun in
it. Besides that our study area will give a relaxing
environment for people to stay away from noise while study.
Our study area will use garden circular seating because this
type of seating will be able for student to discuss easily and
there will also a big umbrella in the middle of the table to
avoid bad weather condition.

9. 4.Concept
The topic we choose for our project is Recreational Area.
After we choose this topic we decided to make our site with
more relaxing softscape. Finally we choose the Japanese Zen
Garden concept. Japanese Zen Garden are also know as
Japanese Rock Garden because it creates
a miniature stylized landscape through
carefully composed arrangements of
rocks, water features, moss, pruned
trees and bushes, and
uses gravel or sand
that is raked to
represent ripples in
water.

Small Port With Cycle Boat
The Royal Park inspired us. It has the cycle boat for people
to enjoy the riding in the middle of the lake.
Port with wooden plank > cycle boat
Because our site is beside of high rise building as also call as
9

10. hardscape, so we decided our port will be made of wood that
more toward softscape. The cycle boat is a relaxing activity
for people that come to our area. It’s also a romantic activity
for couple. Besides that cycle boat doesn’t use any fuel but
only kinetic energy so it will not cause any pollution to the
lake and the environment.
Gazebo
Located at the middle of the wooden platform beside the
small port. We decided to put a Gazebo is because it match
our theme concept Japanese. We also use Japanese
traditional furniture in the
Gazebo.
Gazebo > Japanese traditional furniture
By using traditional furniture we can make our site looks
more attractive because we combine the modern and the
traditional style in one place.
After that, we have named our construction project
as Zen-bo because half of the part is Japanese zen
garden and “bo” just a simplified of “boating” since
boating area is the main purpose and function in the
garden.

rectangular kiosk placed in
front of the boating area. It
saves space and can be built in
lower cost.
A gazebo is a structure with
roof where one can rest. In
Zen-bo, we provided a
gazebo in size of 4m x 4m .
The decorative element that we use in
Zen-bo is pagoda lanterns. 4 pagoda
stone lanterns will be placed at the 4
corners of the gazebo to enhance the
Japanese garden aura.

30. 8. Conclusion
In shorts, the trend towards greenery is now extended
in everywhere. As a campus, more green spaces should be
provided to students and lecturers to relieve their stress of
works and studies. However, it is not enough to have just a
piece of green land that without any function and usage.
Zen-bo, is a brand new recreational area proposed to satisfy
the demand of students, where is a place to study, chill, have
fun and exercise. We are confident to Zen-bo on its
sustainable and beneficial design, we are sure that it can
change the campus by activating and enlighten it to become
a better study environment.
