Bamboo Collonade acting as support system for the public visitor centre. row of columns generally supporting an the floor and the building. The open gallery are place here to ease the visitor understanding more about mangrove habitat. The concept utilizes three design elements, which are combined and adapted to different locations throughout the park: the visitor centre, the boardwalk, and the learning nodes. Structure is based on on stilt construction to avoid the water to effect the building. The overall project material are using timber as the walkway and the visitor centre. The lack of skilled nature guides hinders the fusion of science and the environment. lack of interest in several activities, including volunteering and homestay possibilities.

Therefore the building intersects with the forest in a harmonious way and the range of scenery viewing is maximized. Retractable Classroom The room are designed to accomodate visitor according to their number during their visitation to the mangrove center. This can optimize the uses of the building. Photovoltaic Integration The building are design to integrate solar panel to optimize the energy efficiency. PV systems do not release any harmful air or water pollution into the environment, thus helping to reduce the pollution to the mangrove forest. Sectional Perspective

Architectural portfolio Page 12 Integrated buildings incorporate a centralized BAS that typically controls HVAC, security, lighting and life safety systems. The integrated building can be viewed for diagnostic considerations remotely, which allows the operations team to view real-time facility performance and current equipment issues. This type of facility is the basis for a smart building without the full capability to capture data and alter systems automatically. Smart buildings use sensors to collect data from each system or equipment and analyze the data using artificial intelligence or machine learning to automatically alter the systems in real time.

Architectural portfolio Page 18 Final Presentation For me, the design path was meandering, with countless moments of stepping back and multiple routes. Because design judgement is subjective and never limitless, I continually scrutinise my work. Most of the time, the issue for me is to learn to go on, to accept and develop in areas where I can. Later, I discovered that answers frequently emerge when the design is refined. By adhering to my design philosophy of sustainable architecture, I was able to significantly improve my design while also solving my problem. Overall, I’m delighted with the development, knowing that I’ve pushed myself outside of my design, and that this project represents a significant step forward in my architectural understanding.

Feature In “Mission 2 Make It Sense” Architecture Book. 02 Master of Architecture Highrise Design 2022 Edition The idea and concept of this project inspire truly from the completion of circle in environment, economic and social. Nature, as an element that brings calm to locations where people can go for a healthy existence and physical well-being, can easily be an example of the solution arise from the issue in Bukit Bintang. Capitalists have economic dominance, and they only focus development in environmental industry. This make Bukit Bintang development impact the nature and give risk for pollution. The goal is to establish the environmental impact and economic benefits of a green facade for a building, as well as whether or not it is a financially feasible project. Several various design elements influence the type of green wall that should be installed.
Architectural portfolio Page 22 The green environment is critically related to the happiness of residents in terms of promoting residents’ physical activity, health state, and reduction of stress. It can also be directly related to happiness and sociality through promoting a sense of community, social support, and interaction. The vertical nature is an architectural concept which replaces traditional materials on urban surfaces. Instead constructing the green area outside the building, this building potentially creating green space area inside the building. A building that creating a green ecosystem inside it instead at the outside solution to the main issue of lacking of green space in bukit bintang and kuala lumpur. Promoting the three pillar of sustainabilities, economic, social and environment into building a vertical highrise.Innovation of new green city while surrounded by highrise in bukit bintang. Due to covid-19. People are urging to go outside after they had stay long time in their own housegreen area will be great place for people to release their stress and pressure.In bukit bintang, the land is not enough to built the green area.

Architectural portfolio Page 24 Issues: The world is changing at a fast pace in this day and age. Creation is often associated with the degradation of nature; as a result of the destruction of nature, humans become victims of their own actions. In this situation, people will suffer and lose their good way of life. Although both new investor and business policies are focusing on sustainability and the climate, there may be an opportunity for a community to be reconstructed with nature.. Paradox & Value Innovation: Nature as a source of tranquilly is found in locations where people can go for enjoyment, physical activity, or simply to find peace and quiet. The example solution is a park and garden. The capitalists have economic dominance, and they are only interested in developing particular sectors. The environmental industry is seeing an influx of capitalists. The Vertical Nature City is the ultimate answer to the contradictions of the world.

Architectural portfolio Page 26 High-rise buildings in Reverse City could be a viable option for using wind energy in the area. Some researchers have already conducted numerical simulations to determine the feasibility of a building that contains wind turbines (or building-integrated wind turbines (BIWTs)), estimating that the BIWT system would produce about 20% of the required energy for the structure’s operation. Nowadays, there is a lot of interest in BIWT systems, and some buildings have implemented or are considering implementing them in their constructions.

Visitors may enjoy a spectacular perspective of the city while tucking into their duck breast thanks to a special lift-off that takes place nearby on the ground floor. The skyview provides a wonderful view of PNB 118, which is located close the building. Green Facade can be considered a new form of sustainable element, as opposed to green roofs, which are not visible from the street and are usually unsightly. The green facade has really distinctive patterns that make use of a range of colourful plants to brighten up the surrounding area. Photovoltaic system are use to converts the sun’s radiation, in the form of light, into usable electricity. This help the building to reduce the electricity cost of the building The Infinity pool is designed to create a luxury feel-like to the visitor and its residents.

Green vegetation has the potential to be a new sustainable resource for the construction industry, with numerous environmental and economic advantages. The proposed project will focus on the construction of an intense green facade system for the building after completing research on the various types of green walls and their characteristics. Along with improving the aesthetics of the building, The evaluated the main environmental benefits such as improving air quality by reducing CO2 and other pollutants, and the reduction of the urban heat island effect. The Feseability also researched how a green wall could reduce the energy consumption in heating and cooling. This Covid-19 pandemic has presented threats, but it still presents opportunities. Lockdown has compelled to reconsider how human want or expect their lives to look and to begin reorganizing our common spaces. They can spend less time in busy restaurants, theatres, and gyms, but also spend more time together in open spaces. Green spaces will evolve, but would the transition be gradual or would it have an opportunity to reimagine what green spaces should be? Could emerging techniques of creativity, such as participatory futures, assist on redesigning them? “We can’t just consume our way to a more sustainable world.” Jennifer Nini Hexagon Panel As Planter Box For Vertical Planting Photovoltaic Act As Sustainable Element In The Building Green Vegetation Podium Floor Steel Trusses Rain Water Fountain Cafe Sky Restaurant Photovoltaic Spandrel Panels Lift Core Lobby Ev Panel Facilities Floor Residential Lift Lobby Cinema Retail Shop Vertical Green Area Infinity Pool Hexagon Facade Shear Wall Water Tank Bubble Lift Maintanence Theme Park Pedestrian Bridge Bubble Lift Vertical Planting Residential Unit Hvac Room Top Podium Investor Office Administration Park And Plaza Wind Turbine Water Tank Wind Turbine Planting And Garden Office Floor Office Entrance Lobby Observation Floor Residential Floor Facilities Floor Podium Floor

Architectural portfolio Page 40 A mosque needs proper management and maintenance so as to maintain the effectiveness of its operation, make it clean, to manage its property and so on. Such management and maintenance need financial commitments and financial standing which are on par with the performance of the relevant duties. Source of income of a mosque usually is on a weekly basis from the charity given by mosque users on Fridays. However such income is insufficient for maintaining the cost of keeping the mosque and its maintenance. Urban magnets are unique places that attract and hold activity groups. These groups, through “living out loud”, animate a place and give it vitality, a sense of place and often economic success. 1) People – The difference between a place that feels “alive” and one that feels “dead” is the presence of people doing things; and 2) Place – Rarely (maybe never) in history has “nice physical form” been solely successful at truly revitalizing a community.

Page 49 Tropical lifestyle resort architecture is a form of architecture that is intended to enhance the natural beauty and environment of tropical areas. This architectural style strives to establish a seamless link between the constructed environment and the natural surrounds, frequently including outdoor areas and natural materials to improve the visitor experience. The utilisation of open-air areas and natural ventilation to cool the interior spaces is one of the distinctive aspects of tropical lifestyle resort architecture. Open-air lobbies, courtyards, and verandas may be included, as well as the use of louvres, overhangs, and shading systems to manage the amount of sunlight entering the structure. The use of natural materials such as wood, stone, and thatch, which are frequently acquired locally and fit perfectly into the surrounding nature, is another important aspect of tropical lifestyle resort design. The use of local materials also contributes to the creation of a feeling of place by reflecting the local culture and history. Kuala Kubu Bharu Retreat Resort Client: Genishan Construction Stages: 1.
