SITE ANALYSIS & REACTION

Hulu Langat is a beautiful site but can never seem to catch a break from natural disasters such as floods, landslides, and high rainfall due to its climate and geographical location. This is the hazard exposure under physical vulnerabilities that the site is facing. Other than that, infrastructure like bridges and roads are imperfection in have the risk of collapse. The non-optimistic economic environment loading to low-income societies too.

When the ‘devastating’ flood on 23 December 2021 happened in Hulu Langat, we can see the intangible social vulnerabilities which are a lack of evacuation plan and proper gathering spaces for evacuation. The goal of disaster prevention is very clear that is to ensure the safety of people’s lives with the concept of ‘Life First’.

MANIFESTO

GATHER

The rural communities are known for the spirit of togetherness of connecting families and neighbors despite the yearly flooding. However, their own assets and shared resources are insufficient to be prepared for future hazards. It is the spirit of togetherness that determines the safety and the resilience of Hulu Langat.

Because no society is ever fully risk-free or resistant to all dangers, building resilience is a continuous effort rather than a one-time act.

TWO.3

CONCEPTUAL MODEL The model has a strong circle base to act as a central point to gather everything with a rock texture to show how strong it is to sit still even when flooding. On top of it have a pathway that represents a line that goes through the Hulu Langat and every turning point act as a nude, at the end it connects all people in Hulu Langat to this point because

"UNITED WE STAND!" we connect people as well as the water together with the concave space to mitigate the flooding

SITE STRATEGY The red circles represent where all the roadside food stalls around site 2 with the black circle. These food stalls act as small nodes to gather people around them.

A new node WARUNG is designed to be located in all the red circles replacing the food stalls and acting as temporary refuges.

When all the nodes are connected it will act as an evacuation path through the evacuation center.

SITE STRATEGY The circulation approach shows that the vehicle's main asses from the West and secondary access are from the South.

Landscape and sense show that the main wind approach from the East.

Main road access from the West is more toward public and the East where the forest is located is more toward private.

The daily Routine of Hulu Langat residents shows that children play a lot, old age gathers most of the time, middle-aged females will take care of the house and males will do the heavier work in their daily routine.

SITE STRATEGY The first thing people go through the main entrance, they will see and hear people smiling and laughing faces from the external recreational area to attach people's attention.

After that, there has a straight circulation that directly brings people into the main programs from two entrances.

Market and food stalls are placed at the second entrance with open spaces following linear simple circulation to bring people into the private programs ( Internal Area).

As the second entrance first floor level it can use as storage for markets and food stalls when flooding happens they will have enough food supply and face disaster individually.

THREE.1

BIG IDEA

The study shows that the site has flooding, low economic market value, and lacks proper evacuation and gathering spaces. The design intention is to ensure residents evacuate effectively. gather people and also rejuvenate.

The economic flow starts from both communities of Hulu Langat and private investors.

After that monthly 60% of the profit come from the community agriculture and husbandry, and the rental from the market and food stall ( 70% community will contribute ) to encourage resident to do business here rather than beside the roadway with dangerous and illegal. Out of 60% profit, 10% will be kept for relief purposes.
