The document provides details of a proposed construction project to build a recreation area on the balcony of Block E, level 2 at Taylor's University. It includes a site analysis, rationale for the project, conceptual plans and drawings, cost estimates, and requirements for obtaining necessary approvals. The project involves landscaping the empty balcony space with grass, trees, shrubs, pathways and benches to provide a green space for student recreation and interaction with nature.

INTRODUCTION
Task:
In this assignment, we are given a task to proposea new project within
our campus (Taylors University) not more than 30m x 30m that serves
one of the following purposes:
1. RecreationArea
2. Study Enhancement Area
3. RestArea
4. Food and Beverage Area
5. CommercialArea
Our group consist of two members:Koh Sung Jie and Ong Seng Peng.
We want to proposea projectfor a RecreationArea.
Brief introduction of location:
Taylor’s university establish in 1969,is recognisedas Malaysia’s leading
educational institution of higher learning. It has a revived 5.5 acres man-
made lake, and is located at Subang Jaya, Selangor, Malaysia.

SITE ANALYSIS
Our chosen site for this projectis located at Block E Level 2 balcony.
A view of the site upon entering the compound.
The area of the site is 30.00m x 18.91m.Its north point is faces Block E
and its south end faces the parking lot as well as basketball court. Below
the site are lecture theatres 17 and 20.

The West face displays
the other balcony of
Block E and the
Commercial District
on the far end.

6. Introduction to the Construction Industry Final Project Page 6
The site is laid with concrete flooring and fenced with steel railings; only
the north face is the entrance and the concrete wall of BlockE. The
overall site has no roof exceptthe west face. The site is currently empty
and serves no major purpose.There is no circulation within the site
The concrete floor with white painted steel railings for safety measures.
There is a roof constructed on the east face but it serves no major purpose to the
site as nobody visits this place.

RATIONALE
Proposal:
It is proposedto use the empty balcony of Block E level 2 towards a
landscaping of a park. This would see the removal of the roof and its
supports on the west side. The entire site would be utilised for recreation,
be remodelled into grass with footpaths lined with trees, shrubs and
lamps. Soil will be poured over the base.
Reasons:
Why we proposed to build a recreation area?
We found that the campus lacks green space for students to interact
with the green environment. From the site we also found that it is too
concrete and lacks facilities that serve the students. Therefore,the
action to renovate the site with a natural approach is necessary.
From the pictures on the left, we can see the concrete landscape from Block C
through Block E. The picture on the right shows us the attempts made by the
campus to make the place greener, but it is obviously insufficient.

9. Introduction to the Construction Industry Final Project Page 9
Why we chose Block E, level 2 balcony as our site for this
renovation project?
The site is an empty space and is available for people to access to site.
The site is currently purposeless and being a recreation site would be a
good purpose forthe site. Also, since there is green space on one side
of Block C, it would be wise to balance the green space proportions by
strategically placing another beside BlockE.

Why a recreation area in the first place?
SocialBenefit
When a student is not studying or doing work in the campus, what does
the persondo as his/her free time in the campus? We compiled aseries
of leisure activities that the students can do within the campus:
1. Read books in the library.
2. Interact in the student life centre.
3. Eat/drink in one of the food kiosk or in the CommercialDistrict.
4. Immerse in a social media with phone.
Through observation, we can quickly deduce that No. 4 is the most
popular activity in our campus as there is a mass influence in our
generation. So a fifth option is introduced: Experiencing Nature in the
Roof Park.
Of course,the students can not only experience Nature there, but also
read a book, interact, eat or drink or even immerse in their phone at the
place. It is the whole package in a single location.
EnvironmentalBenefit
It is scientifically proven that the presence of plants can improve the
surrounding air quality. Plants absorb the main pollutant of the air,
carbon dioxide and release oxygen which is beneficial for the students’
health and thus reducing the carbon dioxide concentration around the
area.
Next, plants reduce the overall temperatures of an area. As mentioned
before,plants reduce carbon dioxide and other pollutants that trap heat.
The trees provide natural shade which blocks the Sun and its heat.
Moreover, the park helps to insulate a building for sound; the soil helps
to block lower frequencies and the plants blockhigher frequencies.
PsychologicalBenefit
A park can also help the students psychologicallyby decreasing stress
of the people around the campus by providing a more aesthetically
pleasing landscape.

CONCEPT
Proposed Site Plan
Scale 1 : 200
The quarried main pathway allows a
general circulation for the students as
they can congregate,interact or even
organise events there. The
cobblestone sub-pathway creates a
typical park setting when the students
use it.
The trees act as natural shades for the students when they are sitting on
the bench or strolling on the cobblestone path.
The shrubs surround the park and blind the students from seeing the
opposite balconyand the parking lots below.

12. Introduction to the Construction Industry Final Project Page 12
Green Roof
As the balcony is laid with concrete as its foundation, we have to pour
soil in order for the plants to grow on it. So we must implementsome
Green Roof technologyso that our park can be realised.
A green roof or living roof is a roof of a building that is partially or
completelycovered 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.
A green roof consists of multiple layers in orderto allow vegetation of
plants.
Growing medium – Intensive soil mix which is suitable for grasses,
shrubs and trees to grow.
Filter layer – Keep small particles from clogging the drainage layer.
Drainagelayer – Stores rainwater.
Root protectionlayer – Prevents root growth into waterproofing.
Waterproofing membrane – Protects the roof structure from moisture.
