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.

4. 4
Site Analysis
We choose a site which located at Taman Desa Jaya, Kepong. This site is
surrounded by residential area. Our site is windy due to the surrounded trees.
According to what we had observed, the land is empty. It just provide a simple
playground and doesn’t have any sitting area or activities 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 potential to
provide a successful recreational area for all the residents.

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.

Understanding of Zen Garden
The
Japanese
rock garden
( karesansui )
or "dry
landscape"
garden,
often called
a Zen garden,
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. A Zen garden is usually relatively
small, surrounded by a wall, and is usually meant to be seen while seated
from a single viewpoint outside 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 intimate essence of
nature, not its actual appearance, and to serve an aid to meditation about
the true meaning of life.
The selection 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, ' "Creating a garden" is expressed as "setting stones",
ishiwotaterukoto; literally, the "act of setting stones
upright." It 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 vertical, low vertical,
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 pattern recalling
waves or rippling water has an aesthetic function.
Stone arrangements and other miniature elements
are used to represent mountains and natural water
elements 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.

11. 11
Why Zen Garden?
From my observation on the site, peoples around this area need to be relax
and relief stress recreational area. A Zen garden can be perfect place for the
specialized meditative activities. A big part of the particular appeal of Zen
garden is its enigmatic character. Besides, a Zen garden takes very little
maintenance. Traditionally, users spend time in a Zen garden taking the sand
into different patterns that mimic water in an ocean or sea. Zen garden does
not require specific daily maintenance, as for flower beds and other
installations.

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
1) Roof top garden
Green roof is a roof of a building that is partially or completely covered with
vegetation and a growing medium, planted over a waterproofing
membrane. It may also include additional layers such as a root barrier and
drainage and irrigation systems.
I integrated roof top garden to the 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
conditioning demand. Vegetation can also remove air pollutants and
greenhouse gas emissions
 Improved human health and
comfort: by reducing heat
transfer 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 illumination
requirements of the community hall are the psychological benefits and the
energy savings benefits. Good daylighting has been shown to improve the
overall attitude, satisfaction and well being of building occupants.
It can result in significant energy savings by reducing electric lighting loads
and associated cooling loads. In addition, with proper solar control, solar
gains during cooling load periods can be mitigated and solar gains during
heating load periods can be utilized, reducing the energy requirements of
both cooling and heating a space.
3) Recycled construction material
Some building materials are lumber from forests that have been certified to a
third-party forest standard, rapidly renewable plant materials like bamboo
and straw, dimension stone, recycled stone, recycled metal, and other
products that are non-toxic, reusable, renewable, and recyclable.

20. 20
4) Natural Ventilation
Natural ventilation is the process of supplying and removing air through an
indoor space without using mechanical systems.
The natural ventilation helps in:
 Improved indoor air quality
 Energy savings
 Reduction of greenhouse gas emissions
 Occupant control
 Reduction in occupant illness associated with Sick Building Syndrome
 Increased worker productivity
How Natural Ventilation apply in this project?
The community hall will apply the technique of natural ventilation to save the
electrical energy by improve the ventilation system by using natural method.
Many of the windows are install in the hall for ventilation purpose.
The cold air from outside will come in from the window at West-south, and
then it flow indoor and absorb the heat energy inside. If there dun have
window at the opposite side, the air that absorbed hot air will swirling inside
the house, then make the house suffocating. Therefore, the project applies
many windows and clerestory the design in order to keep the hall in
moderate temperature.
