INTRODUCTION
1.1 SITE INTRODUCTION
Titiwangsa Lake Gardens is located in the north-eastern fringe of Kuala Lumpur.
The given site is located in the south-western part of Titiwangsa Lake Gardens
along Jalan Kuantan and Jalan Tembeling. Titiwangsa Lake Gardens and its
neighbouring context can be divided into 3 main districts (Figure 1.1.1), the given
site being located within the park itself would be considered the recreational
district (Figure 1.1.2). South portion from the given site would be the cultural and
institutional district which locates an existing open parking space that primarily
serves visitors that would park their cars when visiting the park. Besides that, it
also locates a few of Kuala Lumpur’s cultural buildings namely Istana Budaya and
Balai Seni Lukis Negara. East and north portion from the given site would be the
residential district which consist mainly of housing areas, schools and religious
buildings. As a result, the main visitors to the site would consist mainly of adjacent
school students and residents living close to the park to carry out activities such as
family picnics, strolling, jogging, tennis, aerobic exercises and cycling.

INTRODUCTION
1.2 PROJECT INTRODUCTION
Parkour (Figure 1.2.1) is the act of getting from one point to another point in the most quickest, effective and creative way possible.
This activity has developed into a current trend for the youths to challenge their capabilities of jumping, climbing and acrobatics.
The project, a parkour playground, was conceived as a result of a thorough study on the site, with the aim being to understand the
target groups, characteristics, issues and strengths that the site possesses. From these findings, an issue was deduced and to be
addressed which would aim to complement the existing site. In the end, a center which focuses on extreme sports and extreme
activities was thought out as the findings suggest that the site itself lacked the facilities needed for extreme activities such as free
running/ parkour stunts performed by parkour enthusiasts around the urban setting of Kuala Lumpur as well as in Titiwangsa Lake
Gardens itself. As a result, dangerous extreme activities such as parkour is being performed at inappropriate locations around the
park such as at the children’s playground which may endanger the safety of users in the area. The contextual response was also
implemented in the building’s design in terms of how the climate could shape the form of the building, choice of façade designs and
space planning to adhere to the theme of “sustaining humanities”.

PROJECT VIABILITY
2.1 PROPOSED PROGRAMME
The programmes and design language of this building is aimed to accommodate parkour enthusiasts by providing a proper
platform for them to push their boundaries in parkour. As parkour is only popular and more suitable for adolescents and young
adults whom are physically more active and stronger, thus providing a building which only serves the purpose of parkour alone is
insufficient to bring success to a building as the target group tackled is limited. With that being said, there are primary schools,
sports schools and secondary schools located in close proximity to the site, thus, it can be assured that children is one of the major
target groups around the site as well. Consequently, secondary programs which are parkour inspired such as children’s climbing,
playground, rock climbing and a trampoline park (Figure 2.1.1 & Figure 2.1.2) is proposed to cater for the children. Nonetheless,
availability of reading spaces, restaurants, cafes and news stand stalls would cater for the adults, parents and senior citizens.

PROJECT VIABILITY
2.2 PROJECT OBJECTIVES
• The main objective of the project through the building and its programmes is centered on creating spaces that attracts users
of all ages and providing them with a reason to stay on site beyond the usual office hours or after school hours, providing
them a park filled with different kinds of fun filled activities with all of its programmes being parkour inspired and related to
parkour in terms of its movement which requires running, jumping and climbing.
• The project aims to allow parkour users of the center to motivate and inspire other parkour users and non-parkour users
which in long term promotes the popularity of the center.
• The project aims to create a learning ground for users to develop their skills in parkour and rock climbing which may prove
beneficial for the future, for instance, rock climbing as an extreme sport has now evolved into a very competitive sport and is
to be premiered in the coming Olympics games. Therefore, associations such as the Malaysian Extreme Sports Association
are in efforts to find new talents in this field.
• There exists the objectives that are more relevant to project management, such as the need for the project to be completed
on time. Completion of the project within its stipulated timeframe would require planning well in accordance of the entire
duration of the project with thoughts into any unforeseen errors that may add more time to the overall project.
• The building when completed, should also be ready with the flexibility of facing any potential emergencies or accidents that
may arise throughout the lifespan of the usage of the building. When called upon, the features of the building should be able
to protect or serve the users well in that it does not become a detriment to them.

PROJECT SITE ANALYSIS
3.1 SWOT ANALYSIS
STRENGTH
The site is surrounded by dense trees which creates a sense of
intimacy and more shade from the western sun. Besides that,
the site is located in close proximity to a Sekolah Kebangsaan
Jalan Kuantan 1, allowing easy access and attraction of youth
to utilize the parkour playground after school hours.
Furthermore, the site is located close to the future
construction of the MRT station located near Istana Budaya
for convenient access of public to the site. Lastly, the given
site offers beautiful panoramic views of the lake and iconic
views towards Kuala Lumpur’s iconic Istana Budaya’s
vernacular architecture and Kuala Lumpur’s beautiful skyline
at its background.
WEAKNESS
The site is located along Jalan tembeling which is considered
an unfriendly vehicular access due to the one way road nature
and a long distant U-turn is required to reach the site if one
wishes to re-enter the site. Secondly, the site is located very
close to 3 iconic buildings namely Istana Budaya, Istana
Budaya office and Balai Seni lukis Negara with very similar
architectural styles which adds difficulty to designing the
building on site. Lastly, there is lack of public transportation
around the area which results in frequent park visitors only
from close proximity to Titiwangsa Park.
OPPORTUNITIES
The site can potentially act as a gathering spot to allow more
public interaction and engagement due to high demand to
supply ratio of free access for informal meetings. Moreover,
the site can potentially be developed into an activity center
focused on extreme sports due to lack of availability of
extreme sports on site as well as the site being so close to
primary and secondary sports schools
THREATS
The site being located along 2 busy roads will incur heavy and
congested traffic which results in bad air quality, undesirable
heat and noise pollution. Besides that, improper garbage
disposal area from on-site stalls creates hygiene issues.
Finally, shared circulation between cyclist and pedestrian
strips public of the sense of ownership and safety while
carrying out activities on site.

PROJECT SITE ANALYSIS
3.2 P.E.S.T.L.E ANALYSIS
POLITICAL FACTOR
Historically, Kuala Lumpur as well as the public transport,
walking, and cycling routes in suburban areas surrounding the
capital were never designed in a way that would benefit the
users. Consequently, a recent push by the municipal body of
Kuala Lumpur (DBKL) with permission of the Federal
Government saw the city as a whole began to draft plans to
redesign the city landscape to favour all users.
ECONOMIC FACTOR
Kuala Lumpur is the center of economic growth housing
multinational companies transforming into a middle class
populace and world class infrastructure and set to be a leading
Asian city in the future due to the conducive business
environment and expansion of the local financial market.
SOCIOLOGICAL FACTOR
The site becomes a hub for social interactions for population
around the city center as the given site draws people from all
around the city center to take a break from the hectic city life
to relax and unwind around the given site.
TECHNOLOGICAL FACTOR
The city is increasingly turning into a city that’s relies on
technology with implementations of adaptive traffic lights as
well as a city-wide centralised closed monitoring circuit system
that monitors traffic and pedestrian activity in the city. And
with other technologyreliant services to enter themarket soon
such as e-bike systems, the technology penetration of the city
is to remain high into the future.
LEGAL FACTOR
The Kuala Lumpur municipal as well as relevant organisations
have long established a detailed and structured plan which
defines the areas and sections of the city and its building
requirements. The project has to abide to the rules and
regulations set by DBKL
ENVIRONMENTAL FACTOR
River of life project aims to leave an environmental and social
legacy that emphasizes the importance of environmental and
water management. Having said that, with the purification and
beautification of the city’s rivers, many diverse activities for
special events can emerge in or around these waterways and
hence creating quality social gathering spots for events or
recreational purposes all around Kuala Lumpur.

4.1 KEY FEATURES
FAÇADE SYSTEM
The architecture of the building uses a standard façade system which are the timber louvers which serves multiple functions. The
façade systems is similar to that of Caltrans District 7 Headquarters by Morphosis Architects (Figure 4.1.1). The key feature for this
façade system is that selected louvers are extended outwards to form parkour platforms for parkour enthusiast and at the same
time extending into the building to form interior furniture for reading/dining spaces (Figure 4.1.2). Furthermore, the adhere to the
criterias of sustaining humanities, the façade system also supports the idea of passive design by allowing cross ventilation and stack
ventilation throughout the building (Figure 4.1.3).
Figure 4.1.1 shows the façade design idea Figure 4.12 shows the functions of the façade system Figure 4.13 shows the passive design
8| Page
BUILDING FORM
The form of this building is designed in a way that it is shaped
by the climate itself. The form of the building on the east and
west side is angled so that the total exposed surface area of
the building is greatly reduced, ultimately reducing solar heat
gain into the building. Besides that, services such as lift cores,
fire escape staircases, toilets are positioned on the east and
west side to aid in reducing solar heat gain into core public
spaces.
DRAWINGS
SLENDER COMPONENTS
Slender structural components are being used throughout the
whole building in order to maintain minimal intervention
between inside out. The application of lightweight material
throughout the building has created an architectural
expression that evolves the relationship between climate and
building. The volume has carefully designed openings,
through which light, wind or rain could enter into the building.
These openings allows rain and light to reach the plantation
which exist in the interior spaces, and hence, users will feel a
mixture of indoor and outdoor ambience.

4.4 SUCCESS CRITERIA
QUALITY (PRIMARY)
The success criteria for this building is to achieve spaces and
landscapes that will entice the visitors and users to stay for a
prolonged period. As a consequence of this, a lot of emphasis
must be made to ensure that the quality of the materials used
as well as the workmanship towards the landscaping and
building finishes is at of the highest level possible. Thus, the
project manager is tasked with ensuring that all works
partaking the building is conducted as per the requirements.
The usage and implementation of quality materials would
also see that the building operates at a much lower overall
cost in the long term as well, hence being able to reduce cost
substantially and increasing the investment prospects of the
clients and stakeholders.
TIME (SECONDARY)
The project is estimated to be completed in a year. Hence, all
parties and stakeholders involved in the project should seek
to ensure that their respective tasks are completed on time
without the expense of quality which is a mitigating factor in
ensuring the success of the project.
COST (TERTIARY)
The cost of the project shall be kept in accordance to the
budget. Efficient use of materials and construction techniques
that save time or speed up the process is expected from all
stakeholders. Ultimately, the cost of the building is not to
exceed the calculated and agreed budget and shall not see
any leeway or extra funding should any stakeholder fail to
comply with the budget constraints.

    INTRODUCTION 1.1 SITE INTRODUCTION TitiwangsaLake Gardens is located in the north-eastern fringe of Kuala Lumpur. The given site is located in the south-western part of Titiwangsa Lake Gardens along Jalan Kuantan and Jalan Tembeling. Titiwangsa Lake Gardens and its neighbouring context can be divided into 3 main districts (Figure 1.1.1), the given site being located within the park itself would be considered the recreational district (Figure 1.1.2). South portion from the given site would be the cultural and institutional district which locates an existing open parking space that primarily serves visitors that would park their cars when visiting the park. Besides that, it also locates a few of Kuala Lumpur’s cultural buildings namely Istana Budaya and Balai Seni Lukis Negara. East and north portion from the given site would be the residential district which consist mainly of housing areas, schools and religious buildings. As a result, the main visitors to the site would consist mainly of adjacent school students and residents living close to the park to carry out activities such as family picnics, strolling, jogging, tennis, aerobic exercises and cycling.

This activity has developed into a current trend for the youths to challenge their capabilities of jumping, climbing and acrobatics. The project, a parkour playground, was conceived as a result of a thorough study on the site, with the aim being to understand the target groups, characteristics, issues and strengths that the site possesses.

    PROJECT VIABILITY 2.1 PROPOSEDPROGRAMME The programmes and design language of this building is aimed to accommodate parkour enthusiasts by providing a proper platform for them to push their boundaries in parkour. As parkour is only popular and more suitable for adolescents and young adults whom are physically more active and stronger, thus providing a building which only serves the purpose of parkour alone is insufficient to bring success to a building as the target group tackled is limited. With that being said, there are primary schools, sports schools and secondary schools located in close proximity to the site, thus, it can be assured that children is one of the major target groups around the site as well. Consequently, secondary programs which are parkour inspired such as children’s climbing, playground, rock climbing and a trampoline park (Figure 2.1.1 & Figure 2.1.2) is proposed to cater for the children. Nonetheless, availability of reading spaces, restaurants, cafes and news stand stalls would cater for the adults, parents and senior citizens.

    PROJECT VIABILITY 2.2 PROJECTOBJECTIVES • The main objective of the project through the building and its programmes is centered on creating spaces that attracts users of all ages and providing them with a reason to stay on site beyond the usual office hours or after school hours, providing them a park filled with different kinds of fun filled activities with all of its programmes being parkour inspired and related to parkour in terms of its movement which requires running, jumping and climbing. • The project aims to allow parkour users of the center to motivate and inspire other parkour users and non-parkour users which in long term promotes the popularity of the center. • The project aims to create a learning ground for users to develop their skills in parkour and rock climbing which may prove beneficial for the future, for instance, rock climbing as an extreme sport has now evolved into a very competitive sport and is to be premiered in the coming Olympics games. Therefore, associations such as the Malaysian Extreme Sports Association are in efforts to find new talents in this field. • There exists the objectives that are more relevant to project management, such as the need for the project to be completed on time. Completion of the project within its stipulated timeframe would require planning well in accordance of the entire duration of the project with thoughts into any unforeseen errors that may add more time to the overall project. • The building when completed, should also be ready with the flexibility of facing any potential emergencies or accidents that may arise throughout the lifespan of the usage of the building. When called upon, the features of the building should be able to protect or serve the users well in that it does not become a detriment to them. 4| Page

    PROJECT SITE ANALYSIS 3.1SWOT ANALYSIS STRENGTH The site is surrounded by dense trees which creates a sense of intimacy and more shade from the western sun. Besides that, the site is located in close proximity to a Sekolah Kebangsaan Jalan Kuantan 1, allowing easy access and attraction of youth to utilize the parkour playground after school hours. Furthermore, the site is located close to the future construction of the MRT station located near Istana Budaya for convenient access of public to the site. Lastly, the given site offers beautiful panoramic views of the lake and iconic views towards Kuala Lumpur’s iconic Istana Budaya’s vernacular architecture and Kuala Lumpur’s beautiful skyline at its background. WEAKNESS The site is located along Jalan tembeling which is considered an unfriendly vehicular access due to the one way road nature and a long distant U-turn is required to reach the site if one wishes to re-enter the site. Secondly, the site is located very close to 3 iconic buildings namely Istana Budaya, Istana Budaya office and Balai Seni lukis Negara with very similar architectural styles which adds difficulty to designing the building on site. Lastly, there is lack of public transportation around the area which results in frequent park visitors only from close proximity to Titiwangsa Park. OPPORTUNITIES The site can potentially act as a gathering spot to allow more public interaction and engagement due to high demand to supply ratio of free access for informal meetings. Moreover, the site can potentially be developed into an activity center focused on extreme sports due to lack of availability of extreme sports on site as well as the site being so close to primary and secondary sports schools THREATS The site being located along 2 busy roads will incur heavy and congested traffic which results in bad air quality, undesirable heat and noise pollution. Besides that, improper garbage disposal area from on-site stalls creates hygiene issues. Finally, shared circulation between cyclist and pedestrian strips public of the sense of ownership and safety while carrying out activities on site. 6| Page

    PROJECT SITE ANALYSIS 3.2P.E.S.T.L.E ANALYSIS POLITICAL FACTOR Historically, Kuala Lumpur as well as the public transport, walking, and cycling routes in suburban areas surrounding the capital were never designed in a way that would benefit the users. Consequently, a recent push by the municipal body of Kuala Lumpur (DBKL) with permission of the Federal Government saw the city as a whole began to draft plans to redesign the city landscape to favour all users. ECONOMIC FACTOR Kuala Lumpur is the center of economic growth housing multinational companies transforming into a middle class populace and world class infrastructure and set to be a leading Asian city in the future due to the conducive business environment and expansion of the local financial market. SOCIOLOGICAL FACTOR The site becomes a hub for social interactions for population around the city center as the given site draws people from all around the city center to take a break from the hectic city life to relax and unwind around the given site. TECHNOLOGICAL FACTOR The city is increasingly turning into a city that’s relies on technology with implementations of adaptive traffic lights as well as a city-wide centralised closed monitoring circuit system that monitors traffic and pedestrian activity in the city. And with other technologyreliant services to enter themarket soon such as e-bike systems, the technology penetration of the city is to remain high into the future. LEGAL FACTOR The Kuala Lumpur municipal as well as relevant organisations have long established a detailed and structured plan which defines the areas and sections of the city and its building requirements. The project has to abide to the rules and regulations set by DBKL ENVIRONMENTAL FACTOR River of life project aims to leave an environmental and social legacy that emphasizes the importance of environmental and water management. Having said that, with the purification and beautification of the city’s rivers, many diverse activities for special events can emerge in or around these waterways and hence creating quality social gathering spots for events or recreational purposes all around Kuala Lumpur. 7| Page

    DESIGN SUSTAINABILITY 4.1 KEYFEATURES FAÇADE SYSTEM The architecture of the building uses a standard façade system which are the timber louvers which serves multiple functions. The façade systems is similar to that of Caltrans District 7 Headquarters by Morphosis Architects (Figure 4.1.1). The key feature for this façade system is that selected louvers are extended outwards to form parkour platforms for parkour enthusiast and at the same time extending into the building to form interior furniture for reading/dining spaces (Figure 4.1.2). Furthermore, the adhere to the criterias of sustaining humanities, the façade system also supports the idea of passive design by allowing cross ventilation and stack ventilation throughout the building (Figure 4.1.3). Figure 4.1.1 shows the façade design idea Figure 4.12 shows the functions of the façade system Figure 4.13 shows the passive design 8| Page

    BUILDING FORM The formof this building is designed in a way that it is shaped by the climate itself. The form of the building on the east and west side is angled so that the total exposed surface area of the building is greatly reduced, ultimately reducing solar heat gain into the building. Besides that, services such as lift cores, fire escape staircases, toilets are positioned on the east and west side to aid in reducing solar heat gain into core public spaces. DRAWINGS SLENDER COMPONENTS Slender structural components are being used throughout the whole building in order to maintain minimal intervention between inside out. The application of lightweight material throughout the building has created an architectural expression that evolves the relationship between climate and building. The volume has carefully designed openings, through which light, wind or rain could enter into the building. These openings allows rain and light to reach the plantation which exist in the interior spaces, and hence, users will feel a mixture of indoor and outdoor ambience.

Thus, the project manager is tasked with ensuring that all works partaking the building is conducted as per the requirements. The usage and implementation of quality materials would also see that the building operates at a much lower overall cost in the long term as well, hence being able to reduce cost substantially and increasing the investment prospects of the clients and stakeholders. TIME (SECONDARY) The project is estimated to be completed in a year. Hence, all parties and stakeholders involved in the project should seek to ensure that their respective tasks are completed on time without the expense of quality which is a mitigating factor in ensuring the success of the project. COST (TERTIARY) The cost of the project shall be kept in accordance to the budget. Efficient use of materials and construction techniques that save time or speed up the process is expected from all stakeholders. Ultimately, the cost of the building is not to exceed the calculated and agreed budget and shall not see any leeway or extra funding should any stakeholder fail to comply with the budget constraints. 12| Page
