Figure III. Perspective View of Curve NX (Extracted from Attractions. (n.d.). Retrieved May 10, 2015, from http://www.wonderfulmalaysia.com/attractions/kidzania-kuala-lumpur-the-curve.htm)
Curve NX nestled in the heart of thriving Damansara, Mutiara Damansara. It was built by a renowned architect name Dato Ar. Hajeedar and developed by Boustead Weld Court Sdn. Bhd. It is connected to The Curve Shopping Mall which is located opposite across the road. Curve NX consist of 10 floors including 2 basement floors and 1 rooftop. It is a composition of carparks as well as public spaces. Originally, this building only consisted with carparks and Mc Donalds which is located on the ground floor of the building. However, later on, Kidzania which is better known as education and entertainment indoor theme park that allows children to role-play adult activities in a replica city designed to simulate real-life and a functioning economy took over and became the biggest tenant of this building. Mc Donalds then remains on the ground floor as it was before with incorporation of the driving thru system. This building is designed in a way that it maximizes the usage of spaces especially by the implementation of the ramp carparks that did not have to compromise the public spaces on every floor.
The aim or this assignment is to get a better understanding and a clearer picture of what we are taught in the classroom and to evaluate our understanding on the systems that we have observed. Through the site visit, we had our first-hand experience regarding all the systems that they have in Curve NX. We also able to develop understanding of the basic principles of main services found in this contemporary building which will help in the coordination of future designs that require such services.
