Task

This semester, we had a chance to design a community centre for the users at Jalan Petaling, Kuala Lumpur. Where the place has a major issue where the age groups are clearly separated, and the old town Jalan Petaling is predominantly dominated by the elders, hence the old shoplots are inherit and still operating at old town Kuala Lumpur resulting the youngsters visit here less often.

PROGRESS OUTCOME

In Project 1.1, we are to produce a site analysis in Jalan Petaling, a town in Kuala Lumpur. We are to use Kevin Lynch's 5 legibilities along with our choice of urban theories. The understanding of the urban typologies as well as based on the urban studies. As this is an urban area, there are considerations as to what is needed in Kuala Lumpur. The analysis was to prepare us to design a community centre for the Kuala Lumpur Community.

In project 1.2, urban intervention refers to intentional actions and strategies designed to improve, transform, or engage public spaces within a city. These actions often focus on addressing social, cultural, or environmental issues by activating neglected or underutilized areas and promoting community participation. We are to create more livable, sustainable, and
inclusive urban environments.

REFLECTION

TAYLOR’S GRADUATE CAPABILITIES

Through our site analysis group assignment, I learnt to cooperate and work together with other individuals to complete our task.​ I realized that good teamwork is the key to a good outcome.  I have been able to manage myself and complete my assignment on time. I reflected on myself after every tutorial session and worked hard to improve my design in order to achieve a more satisfying outcome.​
