D E S I G N P O R T F O L I O • Nur Afizzat 02 Abused cases among women are on the rise since the Covid-19 pandemic throughout Malaysia. According to the Women Action Organization (WAO), the number of inquiries of about rose up to 250% during the pandemic, as abused women seeks for shelter increases to escape their abusers. This trend is heavily influenced by the economic downturn caused by the pandemic, impacting primarily the low-income group household specifically families that are a dependent of a single income. A data collection by the KPWKM in 2018 shows that the socioeconomic variables among abused women are primarily within the women with no-income group, where 53% of women with no income or housewives are vulnerable to abuse. Abuse cases are also prevalent within the younger group of women, where domestic violence among women below the age of 40 are almost 82% of the overall cases. These women faces multiple types of abuse in their daily basis, 74% reported to have suffers physical abuse, 82% reported emotional abuse, and further 65% reported of financial abuse. Efforts to escape their current predicament are also proving to be difficult, as there are several issues within the existing shelter as well. There is a lack of abuse shelter throughout Malaysia dedicated to host the abused women. According to the KPWKM, Malaysia has a 1/725,000 of shelter per capita, which is so low compared to the suggested 1/10,000 of shelter per capita suggested by the European Union. Furthermore, the existing shelter are primarily providing a short term shelter, catering only towards the physical recovery. Time limitation to stay within these shelter are also a concern, as abused women are limited to 1-3 month of stay within these shelters. These women are in dilemma, as they faced limited time escaping their abusers. Skill training and development for the abused women are also limited within these shelters, leaving them with no choice having to go back into the abusive household. This thesis aims to address both of these issues, providing a center for physical recovery and skill development for the abused women to escape their current predicament. The initial programming of this thesis aims to provide the major environment for the abused women; i. Retreat spaces, ii. Social spaces, and iii. Economic space. The aims of these there major programmes is to create an environment where abused women can engage in a gradual improvement, breaking the cycle of violence.

D E S I G N P O R T F O L I O • Nur Afizzat 20 Wholesale and trade has always been the image of Chow Kit. It is a place where people would go to if they were looking to buy in bulk. However, for the traders it is a different picture. The traders faces many challenges from the chain of supply and demand to inefficient workforce due to government’s reinforcement laws on illegal immigrants. The dependence of local wholesaler on single market stage, i.e. fresh goods distribution, has left them in vain as the pandemic effect rumble the existing market to the core. The global pandemic, COVID-19 has also brought an impact to the traders, primarily in procuring supply of goods and sudden reduction of foreign workforce due to police and health official raids. How to take control of the wholesale and trade business in Chow Kit and be independent? How do we break the chain of dependency and reshuffle the business structure of Chow Kit? Improvisation of business model need to be met with an innovative mode of goods transportation to cater for the influx of demand. The proximity of site to the monorail line allow for a possible integration of fresh goods transportation with the existing underutilised rail line. Possible off-peak hours of the existing rail line can be capitalised to be used as a mode of goods transportation throughout Kuala Lumpur. Other modes of goods delivery can also be adopted, particularly drone delivery. With ground modes of transportation in KL are mostly plague with traffic issues, the need to capitalise air transportation is dire. Drone as a mode of transportation is already a reality, with the mode is being implemented by companies such as Amazon and DHL. This allow for direct business to consumer delivery in a contactless service. One other sector that can capitalise on the availability of fresh goods, adoption of technological commercialisation, ease mobility of goods and products and innovative mode of transportation is local vendor’s production. Provision of spaces for local vendors are also taken into context, as most of these business operates from their homes, and lack effective mode of delivery. Production spaces for these type of business is critical to reinvigorate the small-scale business sector, allowing for more ease of business as most of the services located in a one-stop service building. Improvisation of sites modes of goods handling, transportation and infrastructure with the integration of technology through the adoption of e-commerce marketplace will provide an improvisation and lift Chow Kit as a new Central Business District in the near future.

D E S I G N P O R T F O L I O • Nur Afizzat 28 The Hospital Sultanah Nur Zahirah (HSNZ) was built in the early 1920s, serving as the main medical treatment center in Kuala Terengganu. The hospital has been expanded several time, with the addition of the maternal and child department, hemeodaelisis department as well as a nursing college. The hospital however is slowly aging, showcasing the outdated built environment that as rigid as its buidling block. There are several critical issues within the HSNZ hospital that doesn’t reflect the modern ideology of medical treatment, that is rehabilitation not only through the physcal treatment, but also the mental state of both the patient and the staff. The old buildiing block are enclosed and cramped, with the lack of greeneries worsening the environment. Modern hospital on the other hand has utilised a salutogenic approach in hospital environmental design. A salutogenic approach to health focuses on factors that actively promote improved health and wellbeing, instead of focusing solely on factors that cause disease and injury, which is known as a pathogenic approach. The aim of this approach is to reduce the reliance on only physcial treatment, but also through positive environmental approach. According to Ulrich (1991), patient who had access to a side window that overlooked trees recovered better than patients that overlooked a brickwall. The patients with the view of nature recovered faster, needed less pain medication and had improved interactions with hospital staff. The aim of this design is to establised a salutegonic approach in the aging HSNZ hospital environment, with the approach of a biophlic urbanism. Through the biophilic approach, it encorages connectivity of users with the natural environment through the use of direct nature, indirect nature and space and place conditions. The design aims to improve the crevices of the hospital, improving through four (4) strategy; prioratising pedestrian facilty, increasing connection to nature, providing a positive distraction throughout the hospital, and enhancing the occupants sense of control. The proposal are divided into two zones, where the central space are dedicated for positive distraction activities, an improved cafeteria wiht outdoor dining space, addition of water elements and greeneries within the building space. the secondary zone aim to act as a retreat space, providing a safe semi-private environment for patients and visitors to relax. This proposal is part of the PITAS 2030 development proposal, aiming to revitalise Kuala Terengganu waterfront and encouraging tourism within Terengganu.

Major cities such as Guangzhou, China is one of main contributors towards the global carbon emissions, effecting its populations and economy. The production of electricity through outdated generators, heavy industrialised sector and increasing public consumption of fossil fuel emits harmful emissions that effects the population health and economy where the smog in an everyday occurrence. These settings are where the Purity Belfry works effectively, functioning as the carbon removal tower through Direct Air Capture where CO2 were extracted from the air, later compressed and stored can reutilised as an renewed energy sources. Adaptation of Purity Belfry in Guangzhou is critical, moving from its old carbon heavy energy industry toward a carbon neutral energy generation. CARBON EMISSION AT RECORD HIGH The level of carbon emissions in around the world are at dangerous stake especially at newly developed cities, particularly in China, India and South-East Asian countries recorded among the highest level of carbon emission per capita. Due to heavy industrialisation in cities, futher with growing population and overconsumption of fossil fuel ramps up the emissions. These cities are among the potential to adapt the carbon extraction model Atmosphere Cleansing Extraction of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere around the cities Carbon extraction process and byproducts Atmospheric carbon dioxide is siphoned into the modules, then passed through a series of aerobic digestion before produce the energy sources and renewable enegry Carbon Produce and Energy Generation Direct air capture of carbon produce capture carbon in compacted forms Utilisation of carbon extract to Future Transportation Utilising the generated energy from the carbon capture, the tower act as the central drone hub for urban transportation system, with zeroThe belfry are mainly functioning in 3 criteria: HIGH CO2 CONCENTRATION LOCATION Urban Carbon Extraction Tower PURITY BELFRY for EVOLO Tower Competition 2021 Mohd Uwais Sabre & Nur Afizzat

These raw concentrated CO2 can be sold to many key market such as beverages industries and commercial agriculture. Some of the concentrated CO2 captured was also processed, producing O2 that will be released back into the atmosphere of the cities. The extracted carbon is then produced into carbon palette, where it use to generate energy for the building. FInally, the excess CO2 will be stored in the grounds through the geological storage method. BYPRODUCT OF TOWER

D E S I G N P O R T F O L I O • Nur Afizzat 42 Alunan Ketapang : Community Waterfront PANTAI TELUK KETAPANG for PITAS Development Proposal Pantai Teluk Ketapang is a wide stretch of beach in Kuala Terengganu. It is located to the north of the mouth of the Sungai Terengganu. The beach faces the South China Sea. Along the beach are coconut trees as well as ketapang trees (Terminalia catappa). Stretching across 1.3km, the waterfront are famous for its panoramic views and calm environment, suitable for a recreational activites as well as family gathering spot. The waterfront is popular towards the local, acting as a recreational focal point within Kuala Terengganu residents. There are itinerant hawkers selling food and drinks by the roadside. Existing recreational areas as well as horseriding and ATV activities are present within the coastline, without a propoer facilities supporting those activity. The lack of infrastructure within these vicinity is worrying, as the number of tourist and locals engaging with the recreational and economic activities are increasing each year. The waterfront has also suffered severe beach erosion for a long time as heavy tides and lack of natural barriers along the coast slowly crept away beach. The natural vegetation along the coastline was key to preserving the waterfront, primarily the Ketapang tree and mangrove tree. Expansion of the ketapang forest and rehabilitation of mangrove on several sport wihtin the waterfront are some of the step needed to be taken to preserve the coast. This proposal serve to solve both of the issue as well as providing a quality recreational space for locals and tourist in Kuala Terengganu. Eco-tourism is the key priciple in designing the renewed waterfront. Firstly, the conservation and expansion of the Ketapang tree along the coastline. Secondly, community center activity are promoted, expanding the local family playground into several spot of playstructure, connected by a pedestrian network throughout the coastline. Thirdly, as the waterfront are popular activity spot for families and kids, thus injection of a lerning activity across the beach is welcomed, with activity such as playscape and pet aquarium. Lastly, intervention of activities by injecting eco-friendly programme such as sea turtle rehabilitation hub and petting zone. This proposal is part of the PITAS 2030 development proposal, aiming to revitalise Kuala Terengganu waterfront and encouraging tourism within Terengganu. 3D Modelling Software : SketchUp Renderings : Lumion Pro + Adobe Photoshop Composition : Adobe InDesign Drawings : AutoCAD
