The document provides details on Goh Yen Nee's proposed design for a community library project located in Petaling Street, Kuala Lumpur. The design concept is based on a teahouse and features clustered pavilions surrounded by an exterior library space. Precedent studies are presented on bamboo louvers, metal cladding, composite construction, and a skylight roof. Proposed materials for the facade include bamboo louvers and metal cladding to control sunlight and enhance natural ventilation.

INTRODUCTION TO DESIGN STUDIO
PROJECT
THE PROPOSED BUILDING IS AN URBAN INFILL COMMUNITY LIBRARY WHICH LOCATED IN
PETALING STREET AREA. THE DESIGN CONCEPT IS BASED ON THE PRINCIPLE OF TEAHOUSE
WHICH IS GIVE THE SENSE OF SERENITY THAT IN CONTRAST TO THE SITE AREA.
COMMUNITY LIBRARY IS FORMED THROUGH THE CLUSTERED DIFFERENT VOLUME
PAVILIONS THAT SURROUNDED WITH EXTERIOR LIBRARY AS A FOCAL POINT OF THE
LIBRARY.
SITE B: JALAN PETALING WHICH IS LOCATED IN A ROW OF SHOP HOUSES THAT
SURROUNDED MAJOR OF LOCAL COMMUNITY AND IN FRONT OF A BUSY TRAFFIC
ROAD.

ADVATNAGES
 CAN EASILY CUT OFF THE MESH AND REPLACED
 ACT AS HEAT INSULATOR AND PROVIDE RELIEF
DURING SUMMER
 BOASTS SOUNDPROOFING
 CONTRIBUTING TO PROTECTION OF THE
ENVIRONMENT
DISADVATNAGES
 DIFFICULTY IN CLEANING DUE TO MANY LOUVERS
INSTALLED TOGETHER
 NEED TO MANUALLY OPEN OR CLOSE THE LOUVERS
 FLAMMABLE
 NOT DURABLE WHICH NEED SPECIAL TREATMENT
BEFORE BEING USED
TYPE OF CONSTRUCTION SYSTEM
BAMBOO LOUVERS COVERING
THE FACADE IS CREATED BASED ON THE BAMBOO LOUVERS THAT MOUNTED ON THE FOLDING FRAMES COVERING THE ENTIRE STRUCTURE
WHICH PROVIDE NECESSARY PROTECTION FROM BLAZING SUMMER SUN.
SELECTION REASON
BY USING THIS BUILDING SYSTEM, IT COULD EXPOSED THE SENSE
OF SERENITY IN THE SPACE THROUGH SHADOWS PENETRATED
FROM THE SHADING DEVICE OF BAMBOO COVERING WHILE
ENHANCE THE NATURAL APPEARANCE. IT IS ENVIRONMENTAL
FRIENDLY MATERIALS THAT BRINGS QUALITY OF SPACE TO THE
LIBRARY.
MATERIAL USED
BAMBOO LOUVERS, STEEL
STRUCTURAL COLUMNS ARE INCORPORATED INTO THE WALLS
BETWEEN THE APARTMENTS. A FURTHER GREEN ASPECT IS THE USE
OF SOLAR WATER- HEATING PANELS ON THE ROOF, PLUS
CHIMNEYS TO INTERNAL BATHROOOMS AND KITCHENS. THE
ROOFTOP PLANT IS NOT VISIBLE FROM BELOW, AS THE BAMBOO
FACADES ARE EXTENDED UPWARDS ON STEEL FRAMES TO
CONEAL IT.

ADVATNAGES
 PERFORM WELL IN MAINTAINING
TIGHTBUILDING ENVELOPE
 DURABLE AND STRONG
 LOW MAINTENANCE AND TOUGHER IN RESIST
EXTREME WEATHER
SELECTION REASON
THIS BUILDING LOOKS LIKE MY COMMUNITY LIBRARY WHICH IS
IN CLUSTERED SMALLER VOLUMES THAT COMBINED TOGETHER
THROUGH PATH, ATRIUM AND OPEN SPACE. EVEN THOUGH IS A
METAL CLADDING BUT IT ENHANCE THE LOOKING OF TIMBER AS
IT IS BROWN IN COLOUR WHICH PRODUCE THE QUALITY SPACE
DURING LIGHT PENETRATE THROUGH THE GAP OF CLADDING
DISADVATNAGES
 RELATIVELY POOR INSULATION AND THERMAL
REGULATION
 STEEL CAN BE CORRODES IN COASTEL AREAS
AND MORE EXPENSIVE COMPARED ALUMINIUM
 ALUMINIUM CLADDING WOULD EASILY
DAMAGED DURING INSTALLATION
MATERIAL USED
METAL FACADE CLADDING
METAL FACADE CLADDING IS INSTALLED THROUGH DOUBLE
SKIN METHOD WHICH OVERLAP THE WHOLE BUILDING TURN TO
AN ENVELOPE THAT CONTROL THE SUNLIGHT FROM OVER
COMING INTO THE BUILDING.
TYPE OF CONSTRUCTION SYSTEM
DOUBLE SKIN METAL CLADDING
IT IS A SYSTEM OF BUILDING CONSISTING OF TWO SKINS OR FACADES PLACED IN SUCH A WAY THAT AIR FLOWS IN THE INTERMEDIATE
CAVITY WHICH CAN BE NATURAL VENTILATION. IT TREAT AS A SOLAR SHADING DEVICE FOR PROTECTION AND HEAT EXTRACTION
FROM ENTERING THROUGH THE GLASS SKIN.

TYPE OF CONSTRUCTION SYSTEM
 FLOOR COMPOSITE CONSTRUCTION (GROUND FLOOR)
 METAL AND STEEL CONSTRUCTION WITH PLYWOOD CLADDING (UPPER FLOOR)
 STEEL POST AND BEAM (STRUCTURE)
COMPOSITE CONSTRUCTION IS A BUILDING CONSTRUCTION THAT INVOLVING MULTIPLE DISSIMILAR MATERIALS TO CARRY LOAD WHICH
CONNECTED AS A SINGLE UNIT. THIS APARTMENT IS INVOLED WITH COMPOSITE METAL DECK WITH CONCRETE FILL, STEEL FILTER BEAMS AND
GIRDERS MADE COMPOSITEBY USING STUD CONNECTORS.
SYSTEM DETAIL DETAILS CONNECTION OF FLOOR COMPOSITE
CONSTRUCTION (GROUND FLOOR)
1. Composite slabs comprise reinforced concrete
cast on top of profiled steel decking, which acts as
formwork during construction and external
reinforcement at the final stage.
2. The decking may be either re-entrant or
trapezoidal.
3. Additional wire mesh may be placed in the decking
troughs, particularly for deep decking.
4. A shear stud connector is driven through the
profiled steel decking into the steel beam.

DETAILS CONNECTION OF COLUMN AND BEAMS
MATERIAL USED
STEEL
 POST AND BEAM STRUCTURE IS MADE UP WITH
STEEL MATERIALS TO WITHSTAND THE LOAD OF
FLOORING
PLYWOOD
 CLADDING ON THE FLOOR THAT ENHANCE THE
APPEARANCE
STEEL PROFILED SHEETING
 CREATE STRONGER BOND BETWEEN THE
CONCRETE AND HSEETIG FLOORSTRUCTURE
WIRE MESH
 ACT AS REINFORCEMENT TO STRENTHEN THE
CAST-N PLACE CONCRETE OF FLOOR STRUCTURE
ADVATNAGES
 RESISTANT TO CORROSIVE
 WITHSTAND CRITICAL WEATHER
 LONGER LIFE SPAN
 HIGHLY DURABLE WHICH RESISTANT TO FIRES
DISADVATNAGES
 CONTRIBUTE TO POLLUTION AS STEEL USED A
LOT OF WATER DURING MANUFACTURING
 HEAVIER COMPARE TO WOOD POST AND
BEAM
 BAD INSULATOR UNLESS ADDED INSULATION
 HIGHLY IN COST DURING MAKING OF STEEL
SELECTION REASON
THE STEEL POST AND BEAM IS CHOSEN AS IT OFFERS MANY DESIGN POSIBILITIES WHICH CAN BE AESTHETICALLY LEFT
IT WITHOUT FINISHES THAT REMAIN THE NATURE LOOK OF MATERIAL.IT IS RECOMMENDED TO BE HIGHLY DURABLE
AND CAN WITHSTAND HIGH WEIGHT RATIO. IT COULD HELP IN FULFILLING THE REQUIREMENTOF MY COMMUNITY
LIBRARY.
FINE PLATE CONNECTIONS
1. The quickest connections to
erect and overcome the
problem of shared bolts in two-
sided connections.
2. A fin plate connection consists
of a length of plate welded in
the workshop to the supporting
member, to which the
supported beam web is bolted
on site
3. There are two possibilities:
either the shear acts at the
face of the column or it acts
along the centre of the bolt
group connecting the fin plate
to the beam web.

TYPE OF CONSTRUCTION SYSTEM
SKYLIGHT MONO PITCHED ROOF
IT IS A SINGLE SLOPING ROOF SURFACE WHICH ALSO KNOWN AS SHEF
ROOF INOVLVED WITH SKYLIGHT THAT IS STATIONARY AND TYPICALLY
CANNOT OPENED AND CLOSED. THE PRESENCE OF MONO-PITCHED ROOF
MADE IT POSSIBLE FOR THE ARCHITECTS TO CREATE A LARGE
WAFFLE=SHAPED VERTICAL SPACE, LEAVING REST OF THE INTERIOR FREE
FROM PARTIONING. LARGE SKYLIGHT PROVIDE A LARGE AMOUNT OF
NATURAL LIGHT, WHILE THE STEEP OBLIQUE ROOF SURFACE PROTECTS THE
RESIDENT FROM OUTSIDE VIEWS.
ADVATNAGES
 SKYLIGHT WINDOW ROOF ARE COMPLETELY WEATHER
PROOF
 THEY ARE SECURE AS IT CAN’T BE OPENED BY PEOPLE
 ALLOWS TO MAKE USE AND FUNCTIONAL OF THE ROOF
SPACE
DISADVATNAGES
 SKYLIGHT TEND TO LET IN MORE SUNLIGHT THAN OTHER
DAYLIGHTING WHICH CAUSE IN INCREASING OF HEAT
GAIN
 SKYLIGHT INSTALLED ON THE CEILINGS OF ROOMS THAT
MAKE THEM DIFFICULT IN CLEANING THEM
SELECTION REASON
DUE TO THE PAVILIONS OF COMMUNITY LIBRARYTHAT I HAVE
CREATED, IT REQUIRED THE ELEMENTS OF SKYLIGH TO HELP
BRINGS THE SUNLIGHT INTO THE BUILDING WHERE AS ENERGY
SAVER FULFILLING THE CONCEPT OF NATURE THAT REDUCE THE
ENERGY CONSUMPTION THUS DECREASE THE ENVIRONMENTAL
IMPACT THROUGH NATURAL LIGHTING
MATERIAL USED
GLASS
 TRANSPARENT ELEMENTS THE COULD GIVE VIEWS

 ACTS AS MAIN STRUCTURE FOR ROOF

 ROOF COVERING CONSISTING OF INDIVIDUAL
