A publishing work by students from Taylor's university, discovering the social and culture aspects in Petaling Street and why something supposing to be "secret" can be so commonly known by the locals and the outsiders. This book present to you the students' interpretation and opinions towards the things that are happening in Petaling Street.
An urban area is characterized by higher population density and vast human features in comparison to areas surrounding it. Urban areas may be cities, towns or conurbations, but the term is not commonly extended to rural settlements such as villages. Any portion of earth’s surface where physical conditions are homogeneous can be considered as a Region in geographic sense, ranging from a single feature region to compage, depending on the
criteria used for delineation. In practice, a prefix is added to highlight the attributes on which the region has been defined, for example, agriculture region, resource region, city region, planning region.
All the daily activities of human beings are carried out on land. Proper organization of these activities i.e. planning will help the human being in leading a richer and fuller life in livable surroundings or environment. "Planning" means the scientific, aesthetic, and orderly disposition of land, resources, facilities and services with a view to securing the physical, economic and social efficiency, health and well-being of urban and rural communities.
This presentation is a compilation of selected topics on the history of urbanization, urban and regional planning theories, urban thinkers and their contributes, concepts, bases of land use, applicability to the Philippine setting, and a briefer of urban design elements.
Aspiration in designing new building in historic settings must be to match the quality of the new with the old so that they are respected and enhanced for the benefit of those who live in Nicosia and the visitors who come to enjoy the wonderful heritage. Thus, the design concepts and evaluations have been set to help design alternatives and awareness among all those issues inserted in building design in historic settings.
Postmodern architecture is a reaction and evolution to the modern architecture that came before it. Not only did designers begin to make use of new innovations, but at the same time they appropriated design elements from the past. Buildings became an eclectic mix of old and new as the old "Form follows function" mantra was forgotten. One of the iconic postmodern examples is the Sony Building in New York City.
As with many cultural movements, some of postmodernism's most pronounced and visible ideas can be seen in architecture. The functional and formalized shapes and spaces of the modernist movement are replaced by aesthetics: form is adopted for its own sake, and new ways of viewing familiar styles and space abound.
Classic examples of modern architecture are the Lever House and the Seagram Building in commercial space, and the architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright or the Bauhaus movement in private or communal spaces.
Transitional examples of postmodern architecture are the Portland Building in Portland, Oregon and the Sony Building in New York City, which borrows elements and references from the past and reintroduces color and symbolism to architecture.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

• The dominant building type within the Core Zone of
George Town is shophouses
• Shophouses can be traced to the Chinese immigrants
from southern coastal provinces of China
• Knowledge and methods of building construction
adapted to Malaysian urban shophouses
• Blending the influences from the Dutch, Malay and
British with own culture to create a unique
architecture

1. Covered five-foot walkways at ground floor level façade
2. Opulent ornamentation on the façade by the use of Chinese and European motifs
3. Profusion of use of tiles, stucco, and timber as materials for construction
4. Shoplot at ground level with storage, backyard, and central air-well for ventilation
5. Bedrooms, living, dining and kitchen at first floor level, capped by a jack roof

31. 1840 – 1850
• Under British ruling, connected walkways to the street
edges became restricted
• The guideline was that the measurements had to be at
least five foot wide, hence the name five-foot way
• Raffles’ verandah-way regulation was applied since 18th
century to provide pedestrians with a walkway
indented into the building ground floor
• Verandah-way to maintain unity and provide an
additional room
• Five-foot way was ‘semi-closed’ with bamboo screens
to reduce the radiation of the roads from entering the
shophouse
• Flat façade and minimal ornamentation
• Shuttered windows
• Built using masonry

• Morphology of Chulia Street – physical change and the evolution of the way of life brought upon by
modernisation
• Tram tracks have been sealed and Chulia Street has become a busy vehicular passageway connecting Jalan
Penang to Beach Street
• Modernisation has unavoidably impacted the streetscape character. Roadside parking and modern utilities
make up part of the visual character of Chulia Street

36. Cultural Context On Site From Various Architectural Designs
Cultural effects of traditional architecture
Traditional buildings have divisional usage for either housing or
commercial purposes
• Division of private and public spacing
• Patterns and orientation of applications of various usage
and occupancy
• Creation of topology of geometrical local network of
function
• Reflection of local site contents and attributes
• Monumental represent of origin influences, significance
and importance
Cultural effects of modern/contemporary architecture
The discard and reject of traditional materials usage , exclusion
of cultural contents and celebration of modern industrial
methods
• Concentrated pattern of applications
• Simplicity of spacing and circulation
• Ease of accessibility and function
• Introduction of a new concept and class-less influence

37. • Original traditional buildings in Chulia Street have
attributes of historical influences and social order
formed by historic events that creates cultural progress
of many terms
• Construction and introduction of a modern building
design may change the point of view and experience of
a person in the terms of site elements
• A visible shift of building’s original attributes
• Disrupts the significance and identity of a traditional
shophouse
Construction Of Modern Contemporary Building

38. • Some shophouses in Chulia Street had been affected
by damages from arson, urban decay and during
World War 2
• Local site content has been shifted due to the
erection of modern and contemporary buildings
instead of rebuilding and restoring the original
buildings
• Elements of Chulia Street were affected by such
buildings due to caused inconveniences and shift in
economic and circulation of the site
• Affects the livelihood of the inhabitants
• Construction of new buildings also makes the site
adapting to a more commercial economy instead of
creating a more socio-economical atmosphere for the
inhabitants to inherit their past generation’s heritage
• Hence, creating inconveniences for the locals in their
daily commuting around the area also affecting the
behaviour of the inhabitants

42. Importance of five-foot way in shophouses
Traditional shophouses with semi-public/private transitional
zone on both sides of Chulia Street as a:
• Partially enclosed space between shop and street
• Continuity for human circulation and movement with
shelter from rain
• Sunshade space to ground floor
• Multi-functional space for roadside small traders
• Important feature for urban culture life
• Strong urban image
Destruction of five-foot way due to modernisation
• Contemporary development destroys pedestrian
walkway connectivity
• Intimacy character of the traditional streetscape
destroyed by provision of roads
• Cultural and historical significance of a Chinese
shophouse are impacted
• No longer acting as shelter for heat and rain

43. • Development of Chulia Street leads to users using
automobiles to travel rather than by foot even for short
distances
• Due to lack of provision of five-foot ways in modern
buildings
• Other forms of pedestrian facilities available but not
comprehensive to link up with others to form a
workable system
• Contributes to the lack of communal harmony and
social integrity among the residents of Chulia Street

45. Height of Infill and New Buildings
Special Area Plan (SAP)’s Permitted Height
guideline says:
“Height of compatible infill
development is dependent on the
height of the lower adjacent
building.”
• New infill buildings did not strictly follow
the guidelines
• Hotels and corporate office buildings along
Chulia Street such as the Asas Dunia
building
• Promote tourism rather than considering
the needs of locals and urban density
increases in these infill

46. Building Sustainability and Elements
Special Area Plan (SAP)’s Permitted Height
guideline says:
“Air-well shall be
maintained as part of the design
with flexible roof to allow day
lighting and natural ventilation.”
• Newer buildings lack such feature and were
not following the guidelines
• Covering or removing the air well, and
usage of zinc roof
• Removal of rear courtyards
• Heavily depending on electronic and
mechanical ventilation
• Hot air stays in the building
• Affecting the sustainability and the
surrounding buildings and its elements
Old buildings had the capability for natural ventilation

56. To successfully implement sustainable tourism // Ideas & Theories in Urbanism
The jetties were established at a time when Penang's maritime trade was booming. Chinese
immigrants who came to Penang in the early 19th century worked at the docks as coolies and
boat operators ferrying passengers.
57. To successfully implement sustainable tourism // Ideas & Theories in Urbanism
Passive design implemented. Gaps between wood planks
allow sea breeze into the houses.
60. What is sustainable tourism?
Sustainable tourism is an industry committed to
making a low impact on the environment and local
culture, while helping to generate future
employment for local people.
The positive of sustainable tourism is to ensure that
development is a positive experience for local
people; tourism companies; and tourists
themselves.

Series of parks and public open spaces
are proposed in addition to existing
public open spaces. These proposed
network of public open spaces are
interconnected via a landscaped
pedestrian network.
Well maintained parks and landscaped
elements are essential for the livelihood
and liveability of George Town. The park
offers the residences a space of
recreation and leisure, as well as helping
