users will have many chances to cross paths the coliseum and the library, many passerby usually use the roads
of the coliseum in their regular days to go to work as well as road to the major shopping complex during break
hours.

introduced further as the neighboring shop houses are occupied by textile
during festive seasons. The building will be hidden between row of neighboring shop houses.

enough to accommodate too many people as the narrow road will occupy many vehicles during peak hours thus
there are not enough space to provide sitting areas surrounding the buildings especially the shop houses.
The opportunity that granted from the major offices and shopping complexes thus night markets that be able
to attract many users allows them to able to stop by on their way from work or shopping activities to come to
visit the buildings. Which create convenience as the buildings are walking distances to the site.
