The document provides a site analysis of Taman Tasik Titiwangsa in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It summarizes the history of the park and lake dating back to the 1800s. It also analyzes the surrounding context within a 1-2km radius, including land use, transportation access, and nearby amenities. Two potential development sites within the park are examined in detail, analyzing aspects like setbacks, vegetation, shadowing, and strengths/weaknesses. Precedent studies of a food market and arts center are presented, outlining various design strategies used like circulation, orientation, materials, and climatic response.
