SYNOPSIS
Ammonia is defined as a colourless gas with a sharp and pungent smell that very harmful for chicken at
the poultry and villager around the poultry. Nowadays, there are many poultry are using modern
technology such as water sprinkler to maintain the temperature in the poultry to keep the chicken
comfortable and healthy but the worker were not manage the chicken poop properly. So, when the water
sprinkler spray the water in the poultry, the chicken poop will get wet and the bacteria will active.
Moreover, the bacteria will digest the chicken poop and the bacteria will produce ammonia gases while
digesting the chicken poop. This project is about the study of the effectiveness of odour control system
to control the ammonia level in the poultry. The limit of ammonia sensor has been set in 26 ppm
because the suitable level of ammonia for poultry is not exceed 25 ppm. Furthermore, an ammonia
solution has been made with high concentration to demonstrate like the poultry that had have high level
of ammonia. While the system is test with ammonia, the sensor has detect the ammonia at 26 ppm and
the ventilation will turn on and blow the ammonia to water sprinkler. The excess gas will blow up
because there has some space at the top to blow out the excess gas. The reading that we expect of
ammonia will be taken by using an ammonia detector and the reading of ammonia is 25 ppm that shown
the ammonia has reduced by 1 ppm. So, the level of ammonia that the system release is suitable for
chicken and the people around the poultry.

SYNOPSIS
Particleboard is a classic panel, made from the particles of wood /agriculture materials. This research
examines the possibility of converting some agriculture waste material, particularly Hopea Odorata
(merawan siput jantan), Empty Fruit Bunches (EFB) and PET bottle in the production of particle
boards. Hopea odorata is a potentially important tropical plantation hardwood tree of the family
Dipterocarpus and found to be especially suitable for degraded sites of logged over lowland rain
forests. Besides that, Empty Fruit Bunches (EFB) are produced after palm oil is steamed, separated,
or refined for oil production. These Empty Fruit Bunches (EFB) can be processed as fiberboard for
furniture, biomass fuel or steel. Meanwhile, PET bottle was also added in the particle board. PET
bottle is a widely used drink bottle and the PET bottle waste took long time to decay. This study is
about to apply Hopea Odorata, Empty Fruit Bunches, PET bottle into particle board, to determine the
potential of the particle board made from Hopea Odorata, Empty Fruit Bunches and PET bottle with
the different ratio. And To analyze the particle board’ bending test, internal bonding and thickness
swelling. This project starts with collecting the PET bottle and then cutting them into small pieces.
While Hopea Odorata or “Merawan Siput Jantan” wood dust and Empty Fruit Bunches that has been
dried, were getting from FRIM. Then, PET bottle and Empty Fruit Bunches were putting into grinding
machine to make their size become more small pieces. After that, all materials have been weighed
and divided into three different ratios. Next, the divided materials with different ratios were put into
mixer machine to mix them well. The next process was cold press, and the last process was hot
press. Therefore, the use of agricultural waste as a substitute can be implemented.

SYNOPSIS
Particleboard is a type of fibre of fibreboard. These board are made of small wood particles such as wood
chips, wood products from sawmills or wood dust and to be mixed with synthetic resins such as Urea
Formaldehyde or Melamine Urea Formaldehyde and pressed using pressure machine cold and hot
pressure machine. It must go through a special process to produce it. Particleboard also known as
composite material. However, today the fibre material from industrial waste such as wheat, oats, and
barley was used as material for producing fibre-based products in the countries of North America. It is
also beneficial to the environment because usually burned wasted from industries in which they
contribute to environmental pollution. So, this study about using waste materials such as merawan wood
waste and coconut husk to reduce waste addition problems. In our sample have three ratio, 70:30, 50:50,
and 30:70 (Merawan: Coconut Husk). We use three lab tests to test our material at Forest Research
Institute Malaysia (FRIM). The test was Bending Strength Test (MOR/MOE), Internal Bonding, Thickness
Swelling and Water Absorption. From the experimental results obtained for mechanical testing it was
found that Sample A with percentage of 70:30 (Merawan: Coconut Husk) and 12% glue mixture get the
highest average data which is 8.64 MPa for (MOR) and 999.24 N/mm₂ for (MOE). In this study, the
results have given good results to be made into particleboard by using three different ratio. So here the
best combination between coconut husk and merawan is the ratio of 70:30 (Merawan: Coconut Husk) to
be used as particleboard. It has potential to achieved similar result with the particleboard which is have at
the market.

SYNOPSIS
Bio-plastics are polymers capable of decomposing into CO2, H2O and inorganic compounds or
biomass through primarily the enzymatic action of microorganisms or according to the European
Organizations of Bio (EBO), bio plastics are defined as "Plastics based on renewable sources (bio-
based) or plastics can be biodegradable or composted. Nowadays, many countries, especially in the
west, have banned plastics such as plastic bags, plastic cups and plastic straws because plastic
waste is a serious environmental threat. to the environment in the form of air, water and land
pollution, moreover, plastics need a long time for biodegradation. This study will be carried out to
replace non-bio plastic by using food waste, therefore, indirectly we can also reduce waste disposal
work According to him, the material used is Citrus microcarpa it is actually a hybrid of mandarin and
Japanese Kumquat (Citrus japonica) and comes from China, Water, glycerol also known as glycerin
or glycyl alcohol, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as sugar alcohol, liquid vinegar
sour made by fermentation from many liquids of liquid alcohol into liquids containing acetic acid, then
egg yolk, as we know, egg yolk has many uses other than making fertilizer, it is also used as craft for
in business as an example of mold for wax and flour corn we use as a binder. For material testing we
use tests such as water absorption test which measures the volume of water absorbed by the
composite material when immersed in water for a set period of time and the second test is to
determine the time (day set) taken for the decomposition process. Excessive non-bioplastic use will
cause the environment to be affected, therefore, should be replaced with bio-plastic for daily use to
reduce the process of disposal of plastic waste and can prevent environmental damage.

SYNOPSIS
Malaysia is a developing country that has a lot of highway construction to make the journey become
faster and easier. A road is a lane, route, or way on land between the two places, which has been paved
or otherwise improved to allow travel by some movement, including a horse, cart, or motor vehicle that
needs pavement construction. The pavement is normally used to describe the series of layers that form
the structure of a road. With the increasing number of highway and road construction, the demand for
coarse aggregate is increasing rapidly which leads to a rising number of aggregate mining. However,
aggregate mining can affect the environment such as destruction of landscape, reduction of farm, land
grazing, and others. To solve the issue, many resources are ongoing to study an aggregate artificial
aggregate to reduce the reliance on natural aggregate. This project is focus on producing artificial
aggregate by using sludge and waste glass. Sludge and glasses are waste that has been producing
daily. The main objective of the study is to investigate the efficiency of artificial aggregate by conducted
shape test, soundness test, and aggregate impact value. To produce the artificial aggregate, the sludge
and glass are burned in the furnace with the temperature 1300⁰C for 1 hour. The testing for artificial
aggregate will be tested according to Standard Specification for Road Works (Section 4: Flexible
Pavement) for use in the road pavement.

SYNOPSIS
These days, we have been using a lot of plastic which we most likely needed for groceries,
manufacturing, packaging and other applications. Plastic has become one of our daily needs whether
we notice or not. But somehow, common plastic that we have been using today is derived from
petroleum. This provides strong plastic that we all need in our daily basis. But on the other hand,
disposing this type of plastic is what causes pollution in our earth these days. This is because, petroleum
derived plastic is not eco-friendly and may not decay safely in the earth's soil. With this matter, we create
the eco-friendly plastic which is the biodegradable plastic. Our plastic is called the Bougainvillea bio-
plastic as it is nature based, the Bougainvillea flower. The trimmed Bougainvillea flower are collected
and brought inti the laboratory to process the making of bio-plastic. Chemical substances such as
glycerol and vinegar are needed in order to create this kind of plastic. With 5 samples varied by different
amount of substances and flower used, this is what we will be using to create the plastic. Procedures
were created based on every references that we have searched through and by that we carry out the
project. Testing the plastic consist of moisture content, degradation time, solubility and strength. These
are the data needed for the overall plastic testing. Every procedures are carried out in-site, or laboratory.
Bougainvillea bio-plastic is mainly based of bougainvillea flower.

SYNOPSIS
Commercial rabbits are sources of meat that is highly requested for most of the farmer in our
country, Malaysia. They use pellets as food routine for the rabbit feeding. In spite of that, silage
is a one type of fodder made from green foliage crops which have been preserved by
acidification, achieved through fermentation. They minimize loss of nutrients from harvest
through storage and allow for easier feedings. Accumulation of lactic acids and indicate amount
of oxygen inhibit the microbial metabolism and preserve nutrients. Other than that, silage has
more advantage and sources of quality food supply for rabbit compared to pellet food. This
experiment is the comparison between Napier Grass (Pennisetum Purpureum), Asystasia Plant
(Asystasia Gangetica) and pellet on weighing for growing commercial rabbits. Pellet was used
as a control food in this experiment and weight performances of rabbits using different type of
silage were compared. In addition, identification of silage has high nutritive value that can
replace or reduce the need for concentrate feeding that will keep the cost of rabbit production
low and sustain growing interest. This is because Napier Grass is an improved fodder grass
that produces a lot of high nutritive and high-protein. It is also known as “elephant grass” and
“king grass” or the scientific name is Pennisetum Purpureum. Napier Grass has an advantage
which is propagated easily, it has a soft stem that easy to cut, and it has deep roots, so is fairly
drought-resistant and also this plant grow very fast. So next, the nine growing rabbit were
growing into three parts. The first one is Napier Grass, second is Asystasia Plant and the last
one is mix of too silage. At the end of this experiment the rabbit weighing shows the
performance of rabbit that eat Napier Grass is heavier than another among of two rabbit. The
process of making silage was easy because the plant need to cut in 3-5 cm and add some
molasses with ratio 1:1 of water and the last step is put the silage plant in gunny bag and tie
loudly so that no air can enter it.

SYNOPSIS
Waste water in terms of excess oil in water has caused water pollution. The presence of oil in the rest of
the water will cause aquatic life to die as oxygen in the water will decrease and this will increase the cost
of water treatment as the treated water is very dirty. Thus the creation of oil filters can reduce oil pollution
in water by using some of the ingredients in the filter such as charcoal, coconut oil, human hair and
banana fibre. These substances can absorb oil in water to reduce water pollution using charcoal, coir,
human hair and banana fibre. The parameter values in this study are pH , Oil and Grease, Turbidity,
Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Total Suspended Solid (TSS) and Biochemical Oxygen Demand
(BOD) values. In the end of this study the parameters to be evaluated must be different from the
parameters before going through the oil filter. If there is no initiative to use this oil filter, the possibility
that oil pollution in the drain will be more serious such as suspended solid will increase, aquatic life is
threatened and will cause the cost of water treatment to increase.

using 1.5% concentration of sulfuric acid (H2SO4) at 121ºC in 45 minutes. Then, samples of paper waste
were rinsed with distilled water to neutralize the acid concentration to pH 7.0 and dry in the oven until
achieve constant weight. Glucoamylase enzymes were used in hydrolysis process to pre- treated the
substrate and then release reducing sugars. Then all substrate from 3 paper waste then were analyse to
determine reducing sugar content in all samples. Result shows all samples contain reducing sugar with
different concentration under the same control condition for experiment.

SYNOPSIS
The "Camerons" is one of the few places in Malaysia that serves as a habitat for a wide variety of flora and
fauna.There are more than 700 species of plants that grow here.The vegetation changes as one ascends the
mountain. The ward is known for its tea growing, vegetable farms and flower nurseries.Named after William Cameron
a British government surveyor who ‘discovered’ the area in 1885 whilst on a mapping expedition.Cameron Highlands’
fame grew during the colonial occupation era as the British were attracted to this cool hill station due to its climate. As
a direct result of their stay here, nostalgic reconstructions of English cottages and narrow village lanes are sprinkled
across its landscape.My project is to build a Visitor Interpretive centre (VIC) which is like an an institution for
dissemination of knowledge of natural or cultural heritage.Visitor Interpretive Centre are a kind of new-style museum,
often associated with visitor centres or ecomuseums, and located in connection to cultural, historic or natural
sites.The site location is at Cameron Valley 2,Cameron Highland,Pahang.It is located at the main road to Tanah Rata
from Ringlet.My architectural style for this project is Tudor Architectural Style because based on Majlis Daerah
Cameron Highlands, they want all the buildings in Cameron Highlands use Tudor Style because they want to create
a surrounding that literally same as an Old British environment.Tudor Style normally use an ‘E’ or ‘H’ shaped for floor
plan.The roof on Tudor buildings has always been a distinguishing feature of Tudor architecture. The roof is gabled
and quite steep.Tudor architecture is known for its half-timbering as it creates a striking black or brown and white
exterior.In my project, I use balance concept which is I designed ‘H’ shape for floor plan which is connect with Tudor
style.Balance is the concept of visual equilibrium, and relates to our physical sense of balance.It is a reconciliation of
opposing forces in a composition that results in visual stability.Most successful compositions achieve balance in one
of two ways : symmetrically and asymmetrically. Symmetrical balance can be described as having equal "weight" on
equal sides of a centrally placed.It may also be referred to as formal balance. When the elements are arranged
equally on either side of a central axis.This axis may be horizontal or vertical. It is also possible to build formal
balance by arranging elements equally around a central point , resulting in radial symmetry.I also use balance as my
concept for my project because I want to combine old style architecture which is Tudor style with modern style
architecture.One of the special place that I provided in my building is Open Dining Area which is supported by
cantilever element.Visitor may enjoy their foods or drinks while watching the beautiful scenery of tea plantation and
the cold breeze of Cameron Highlands.Types of material that I used in my building are such as aluminium, glass,
concrete and wood. Glass is used as the curtain wall at the ground floor, an advantage is that natural light can
penetrate deeper within the building. The curtain wall facade does not carry any structural load from the building
other than its own dead load weight.Aluminium is used to make frame typically infilled with glass, which provides an
architecturally pleasing building, as well as benefits such as daylighting.Woods is used to make wooden frames
which is wooden posts exposed, creating the traditional Tudor exterior.

SYNOPSIS
The title of this project is Cameron's Fluttering Dale Interpretive Centre that functions as Genius loci or
spirit of the place. Located in Tanah Rata. This project involves parametric style which is derived from
the movement and pattern of the tea plantation on site. The two main principles of design that are
implemented are movement and rhythm . Parametric design is a paradigm in design where the
relationship between elements is used to manipulate and inform the design of complex geometries and
structures. This particular style has been chosen to allow the user to experience the connectivity of the
building and its surrounding.
The method proposed enables shaping roofs in a curved shape made up of plane aluminium steel
sheets in one direction and connected to each other along their longitudinal edges to form a plane strip.
Certain panels in parametric roof is punctured to allow shadow to form at the café to represent the
plantation pattern. The total build up area of the project is 1140 sqm. The special space that has been
included is the café where users get the chance to enjoy eating in open air while having the beautiful

using black and white colour, and the use of pitch roof. Beside that leaf veins also been applied as the
idea concept for the building because leaf vine is one of the important element on the tea leaf. Tea leaf
also one of the attraction at the site. Tea leaf is one of the most attractive things that can be make as idea
concept, but since tea leaves have become a habit of public attention, there is a more interesting
attraction to the vein that allows it to be an idea concept to be processed into a building. Among the
attractions of this leaf veins is the structure and support to plant leaves while also transporting water,
nutrients and energy to the rest of the plant. Leaf veins has a strong structure to support the leaf.
Because of the strong structure that tea leaf veins had, It’s has been applied it on the building as building

attributes for growing outstanding tea, and is situated over 5,000 feet above sea level on the central
mountain range of Malaysia. It has attracted visitors to its cool jungles, quaint Tudor-style buildings, fresh
vegetables and fragrant teas. The conditions greatly influence the local character of the tea gardens,
namely high altitude, low temperatures, abundant rainfall and acidic soil. With astonishing landscapes
and stunning panoramic views, the tea gardens are truly picturesque. As tea is one of the famous
product in Cameron Highlands, it is an ideal concept that has been selected for my Spiral Interpretive
Centre. The tea tree shows an organic progress observed in nature. The main idea is to capture the
experience of the visitor to move around a tea tree in a vertical direction through three spirally-connected
spaces 1) private space, 2) semi-public and 3) public space. This design introduces the overhanging
balcony where people can experience the panoramic sights of undulating tea fields in a spiral
movement. It also allows a natural airflow inside, maximizes the use of natural daylight and limiting the
building's energy consumption. The materials that been used in this design are steel, glass, wood, and

SYNOPSIS
Cameron Highland is a famous tourist center in Malaysia. Besides, Cameron Highland is also known as
the place of agriculture such as tea, strawberries, cabbage and many more. My project is to build
commercial and tourism building which is VISITOR INTERPRETIVE CENTRE (VIC) as the genius loci.
The purpose is to give visitors an experience towards nature and they can learn something like the culture
of the place. The site location is at the Cameron Valley 2, Cameron Highland, Pahang. The site is located
beside the main road going up to Tanah Rata from Ringlet. The site surrounding has a fresh and windy air
and this is due to the dense environment of nature. Hilly terrain is also a major factor in how windy and
fresh air occurs around the site. This prompted a building in Cameron Highland to apply the element of
cantilever to their building. Cantilever elements are very suitable for use in hilly areas. The opening is also
something that should be applied in the building because the hilly area has good natural ventilation and it
should be used properly. Tudor Architecture can be added into the building in terms of facades, windows,
interior design or etc. This is because, although this building is modern architecture style, I want to show a
little historical side to the building. The Tudor architectural style is the final development of Medieval
architecture in England between 1485 and 1558. It is the tentative introduction of Renaissance architecture
to England. The concept of the building is physical features which is connected with the ideas, hills. This is
because physical features refer to the site elements such as tree, vegetation and etc. Hill can be label as
the elements of the site and that’s how it is related to each other. There is special space in the building
such as observation deck and the café. Why is the café so special? This is because the café is on the
cantilever and an opening is provided around the café area. This allows visitors to enjoy food comfortably
while enjoying the scenery of tea plantations and other nature. The observation deck only at the top of the
cafe which is on the cantilever as well. The purpose of the observation deck is to give visitors an
experience to enjoy the scenery and fresh air. Visitors can also take pictures of a beautiful nature
background as a memory. The materials of the building are concrete, steel, wood and glass. The column
and most of the walls were erected by using concrete materials. The steel is also used to strengthen the
structure of the building in order to accommodate the load capacity. Next, wood materials are also used on
the ceiling and facade to show the elements of nature in the building and glass is used for walls or
windows to capture more natural lighting. This building uses a rainwater downpipe system to make it
easier for rainwater to flow directly into the drain.

SYNOPSIS
The TEASAVIOR VISITOR INTERPRETIVE CENTRE design is inspired by the shape of the butterfly
wing, which represents balances in design; in terms of building circulation, structure and construction
suitable for a humid and cold climate condition. The butterfly lives on every continent except Antarctica
because they are cold-blooded creatures and typically need warm weather to survive, more likely to find
them living in warm and tropical climates. And buildings are designed for accomodating human activities,
concerning the existing landscape of flora and fauna. This study aims to enhance the biophilic design,
where to integrate flora and fauna ecosystem in the building design. Thus, this design will create a home
not only for human but also for a group of fauna, namely butterflies. This design proposes to maximize
the hilltop to enjoy the magnificent views of the green valley and corresponds with the idea of the
passive solar system from the south-facing part. The top area has the potential to be extended as
external viewpoints and green space. These external viewpoints reflect the interior space of the building.
The elements of landscape and natural sceneries allow visitors to have a direct interpretation and
experience of the natural urban environment in Cameron Highlands. This design also introduces
concrete material, and the large glass panel to enhance the modern concept of the building spaces. The
lower floor of the gallery represent the past and exhibits valuable artefacts. This space uses and shows
raw materials such as bricks and stone. In this area, the light penetration level is lower to indicate of
‘past’ experience for the visitor. Another exciting part of this design is in the main entrance area. The
designers called for a big outdoor terrace area for seating as well as for appreciating the panorama view
of the tea estate and the valley. This area is finished in a simple and affordable concrete tiled flooring
material with grass or loses chippings in between. In overall, the design building is elevated above the
ground to provide space below the underside of the structure. The floating effect is a gesture to reduce
the impact on the original contours of the surrounding terrain.

SYNOPSIS
The name of the building is Convex Iris Visitor Center. An interpretation centre, interpretive centre, or
visitor interpretive centre is an institution for dissemination of knowledge of natural or cultural heritage.
Interpretation centres are a kind of new-style museum, often associated with visitor centres or
ecomuseums, and located in connection to cultural, historic or natural sites. The building is for foreigner
who want to see a beautiful view in that area and also wants to gain some knowledge about the cultural in
that place. The site is at Cameron Valley Tea House 2, Cameron Highland, Pahang. It is located right on
the main road leading to Tanah Rata which makes tourists can see this building and attracted to visit this
place. Cameron Valley Tea House 2 is one of the tourist attractions to enjoy the beauty of the scenery
found in the area. For that matter, my design is to build a building that appreciates the beauty of the
scenery found there. Based on analysis in site visit on 3-5 September 2020, majority buildings near that
place use Tudor Style to incorporate into their building design. So I decide to use that architectural style
into my design as faced treatment in my design. From the phase ‘the beauty of the scenery’, i take the
meaning as my concept in my building as appreciation the view. From the word view, I was applied the iris
as my idea because every human saw the view from their eyes. A view is a representation of a whole
system from the perspective of a related set of concerns. In capturing or representing the design of a
system architecture, the architect will typically create one or more architecture models, possibly using
different tools. The iris (plural: irides or irises) is a thin, annular structure in the eye, responsible for
controlling the diameter and size of the pupil and thus the amount of light reaching the retina. Eye color is
defined by that of the iris. In optical terms, the pupil is the eye's aperture, while the iris is the diaphragm.
From that statement, I will make sure in my building have decking that can show the view from all side. So
that can make tourists feel satisfied with the place. In my building have many spaces that can make a
public gathering such as Exhibition Hall, and Observation Deck. At ground floor plan, I decide to design a
large decking for tourist comes there from reception, public gathering space, or café came through the
spaces and enjoy the view there. My building is fully made from reinforce concrete. Every opening in my
building used double glazed glass panel because can make situation in building not to gloomy and also
can saw the view from any side which mean can see from inside the building. Finishing for the floor is floor
insulation because want to absorb the cold temperature and make the visitors feel comfortable when get
into my building.

SYNOPSIS
TEH INTERPRETIVE CENTRE, inspired by the characteristic of "hedge" in tea plantation area at the
respective site, Tanah Rata, Cameron Highlands, Pahang. Cameron Highlands is known as the largest
tea-growing region in Malaysia. Tea plantation of this valuable area carpets the valleys in a lush sea of
bright green. This project aims to aid and stimulate the discovery process, intellectual and emotional of
the visitors in connection to the heritage and the natural view of Cameron Highland, mainly the tea
plantation area. The idea of tea hedge has been selected because of its characteristic that reflects
nature. Tea hedge or hedgerow is a line of closely spaced shrubs that creates a green buffer zone.
Majority of the buildings in Cameron Highlands adopted Tudor architecture style and characteristic. The
exterior features of Tudor architecture represent half-timber work, repetition of rectangular windows,
chimney and brickwork. The reason why I choose this architecture style is that all the method in Tudor is
well functional. Suitable for the weather, culture in Malaysia and also façade on the windows and walls
used nature features that reflect Cameron highlands. Total builds up area of the project is 1050 sqm. A
cafe is one of the main space in this project as visitors will get a chance to enjoy local foods with
beautiful views and fresh air for relaxing and releasing stress purposes. In this design, I explore the use
of glass window, brick stone and concrete materials to enhance my design idea and concept. Lastly, the
façade design of this building is representing Tudor Architecture through the usage of many large
windows and English landscape, namely topiary trees.
