HISTORY HISTORY Beyond the glitzy shopping malls and futuristic skyscrapers of Bukit Bintang, it’s business as usual for the traders and residents of Chow Kit. Up until a decade ago, the area was infamous for being the city’s red light district, but there’s much more to the neighbourhood than its seamy reputation.

THE MILLIONAIRE TYCOON Some historians, including the late Dr Khoo Kay Kim, regard Mandailing merchant Sutan Puasa - who played a key role in developing settlements and infrastructure in Kuala Lumpur In the decades that followed, Chow Kit developed into the city's commercial centre,

GANGSTERISM Even as the district developed a reputation for prostitution and gangsterism, Chow Kit continued to hold a special place in the hearts of Kuala Lumpur residents thanks to its gritty, down-to-earth energy.

RAMLY BURGER Ramly burger, the favourite among Malaysians, can trace its humble beginnings to the streets of Chow Kit. In the early days, founder Ramly Mokni operated out of his flat on Jalan Haji Hussein in nearby Kampung Baru before opening his first stall in Chow Kit.

TASK TASK 2 2

POGGIO PICENZE COMMUNITY CENTER The new Poggio Picenze multi-age community center was born to replace the old structure used for social gatherings, located in the historic center, which was made unusable by the earthquake of April 6, 2009. A number of associations responded to the appeal from the administration, including the Associazione Nazionale Cantanti, the group La Provincia Editoriale and the Salvadanaio per l’Abruzzo. The construction company, the supplier firms and the designers are working to reduce their fees. After a first draft of the project, which included the location of the building on the concrete pitch in the city park, in 2011 the city council relocated the community center site to a neighboring sports area, where it replaced the earthquake logistics coordination camp.

In this specific task were tasked to make an abstract as to why we need a community and what is a community? From there on we were able to understand the true purpose of a community center.

The building is surrounded by vertical elements which make up the exterior wall of the building as well as covered by vertical wires for the climbing plants.

The combination of these vertical elements make up the form and shape of the building.

The main circulation for the building is based on the 'big crack' in the middle of the building. The zig-zag volumes want to somehow evoke imaginary cracks, in remembrance of the earthquake occurred. At the same time it creates the main connecting space and hallway for human circulation.

Composite Circulation The building employs a combination of preceding patterns. Important points are centers of activity, These nodes punctuate the path of movement through a building and provide opportunities for pause, rest, and reorientation.

SITE ANALYSIS SITE ANALYSIS Based off from the site analysis we were able to understand the natural sensory of which occurs on site. From there on the Leviathan is derived to fit the cycle of the overall circulation and spaces on site.

It gives us a better understanding of the surrounding context as well as obstruction by which we can use to compensate or eliminate the source.

I derived The Leviathan by encompassing the site's natural wind study to understand the natural flow of air passage through the facility.

Keep the atmosphere cool and shaded throughout, whilst pertaining SDG 7: Clean and renewable energy.

PURPOSE OF SITE The unveiling reason as to why a facility of such is constructed. It is to preserve the functionalism of breaching the poverty cycle.

These NGO's will utilise the capacity and venue to permeate the facility and face its focus on aiding the needy. Booths and workshops of education, health, metal awareness, social awareness, sducidal prevention, assault and post trauma seminar/ assist can be conducted,

PLAN & FEATURES Exposed brick brings a sense of warmth, character, and texture to a space. It also speaks to the history of a building, of the hand that carefully laid down each brick, and of a craft that's quickly becoming less and less common.

An exposed brick expanse is a dramatic statement, as whichever wall you choose will become the focus of the room.

THICK & THIN Throughout the many sacrifices and harsh mentored critiques that I've encountered. I can never be more grateful to be in a team of elite batchmates. The competition steadfast greater than any other class I've ever encountered.

I can only imagine the millimeter deference between an A grade and a C grade. It must be tough to be a lecturer, in my batch. TQ Ms Echa, for giving us the courage and strength to push us afar from the chapter we are writing.
