18. EDGES
main edges
The located site is bounded mainly by the hard
edges or the urban typology.

19. EDGES
hard and soft
The located site is bounded mainly by the hard
edges or the urban typology.
The formation of soft edges have also created
a sense of pedestrian barrier and disconnection
between the lake and the public.

20. EDGES
with connections
The located site is bounded mainly by the hard
edges or the urban typology.
The formation of soft edges have also created
a sense of pedestrian barrier and disconnection
between the lake and the public.
In terms of pedestrian walkability, the
connections are mainly around the main edges
of highways and main streets with provided
facilities such as underpassages and pedestrian
bridges only.

21. EDGES
with connections and pedestrian walkability
The located site is bounded mainly by the hard
edges or the urban typology.
The formation of soft edges have also created
a sense of pedestrian barrier and disconnection
between the lake and the public.
In terms of pedestrian walkability, the
connections are mainly around the main edges
of highways and main streets with provided
facilities such as underpassages and pedestrian
bridges only.
Hence, creating an incoviniency towards users
who wishes to visit without their own vehicles.

22. Although countless of elements could be found
within Tasik Titiwangsa, the edges forms a
disconnection between these elements. Hence,
creating an issue of circulation and
accessibility towards the park.

Vehicular Access

Entrance from Tun
Razak Highway
Site 2 could be accessed from the main
highway (Jalan Tun Razak) and also from the
north (Jalan Chan Chin Mooi). Hence, its
accessibility would be much smoother.
Site 3 could only be accessed from the one way
street (Jalan Tembeling) from Jalan Tun Razak.
However, it would be inconvenient if they arrive
from the east or north as users might need to
take a lap to arrive to site.
Site & User Response

33. SITE PERMEABILITY
Pedestrian Access
Jalan Chan
Chin Mooi
Entrance from Tun
Razak Highway
Poor pedestrian walkability towards the park
when arriving with public transports due to the
pedestrian barriers that have isolated and
disconnected the street network.
Also, it is due to having mainly private and
semi-private government sectors on the east
and south.

34. Garden Buffer
The buffer zone of Site 3 creates a sense of separation
and privacy within the site. Hence, creating lesser
interaction between the space with the active public
realm.
To compare with, Site 2 has stronger public
relation and interaction.
