Glora Heights represent the unity spirit and fight against challenges ahead of the P3KU community. The use of clustering and interlocking shows the togetherness of the community. Furthermore the play of layers, height and building posture creates a unique effect which enhance the sensory experience of the user by viewing, feeling and more. The use of different type of material like steel, brick and timber also shows how materials can create harmony when different material are combined as a whole. Therefore the users could experience different sensory experience from view, texture, emotional from any side of the building.

The floor plan adopts a cluster design, with spaces dispersed across the site to create engaging opportunities for exploration. Public areas, as well as points of interest, are strategically positioned on the lower level to attract visitors and encourage interaction. The main event space is centrally located, just behind a courtyard, serving as a visual anchor that draws attention and invites people into the building.
On the second floor, the design shifts to focus on the workspace for employees, including workshops, working areas, and offices. This upper level is intentionally open, promoting a sense of living in harmony with nature. It is designed as a multifunctional space where activities like farming and other nature-oriented practices take place, further reinforcing the building's connection to the environment.

Brickfields, Kuala Lumpur
THE SHARDS
Dispersed and Fragmented
Once a tightly-knit community, Brickfield now finds itself dispersed and fragmented following the removal of its hundred quarters. The palpable sense of unity that once defined this neighborhood has dissipated, leaving a void in interpersonal connections. This transformation has manifested in the current state of Brickfield , where the communal bonds that once thrived have given way to disconnected segments. Recognizing the significance of restoring the community spirit that defined Brickfield's past, this project aims to reunite the disparate parts of the community, mending the fragmented puzzle that now characterizes the area. The vision is to not only resurrect the bygone unity but also foster integration among the residents. By addressing the fractures in the community, the project aspires to cultivate a shared sense of belonging and pave the way for collective growth as Brickfield continues its development journey into the foreseeable future.

Relevant Question
Can the community centre brings out the idea of assembling the community of brickfield. Will it be able to bring back the original brickfield community and maintain it in the long run ?
Sense of Place
The community is dispersed into distinct areas where various user groups engage in diverse cultural and recreational activities, yet the prevailing fragmentation imparts a sense of segregation and distance to the overall environment.

GREAT ACCESSIBILITY AND STRATEGIC LOCATION
Located in the heritage trail and beside few major roads of brickfield brings a lot of advantages on people flow due to its accessibility and the strategic location. It located near few nodes of the place like school, NU sentral and etc. With just walking distance, visitors could reach the place.

Busy roads at the main road facing the front of site B. Busy traffic cause by illegal double park and work dismiss hours and other random occasion like holidays or events. During heavy traffic the T junction beside site B will jam causing inconvenience. As a result, longer time needed to reach which may cause frustration to the visitor who may prevent coming to the site area next time
It has the potential on becoming the iconic places of the area with its advantages on location and accessibility to some of the nearest transportation hub KL sentral and the user of KL sentral could reach the place by just walking. It also located near few popular famous brickfield address like moneys corner, NU sentral and popular temples.
Moreover it also located in between the heritage trail which may be a potential nodes of the area.

HARD TO STAND OUT IN A ALREADY MATURE AREA
Brickfield is already a self sustainable area where all the things needed are there.So it would be hard to stand out at that area as there are already present iconic places available there and are already well known also by the tourist.
The site is located in Brickfields, commonly known as Little India, a vibrant and culturally rich area. It is surrounded by shop lots and parking spaces, with the building positioned adjacent to the shop lots on one side and facing the main road on the other. The site benefits from its proximity to various public amenities, including a public car park, NU Sentral shopping mall, and nearby monorail stations, offering convenient access for visitors and making the location highly accessible.

HELIX OF RENAISANCE
Revitalize, Revive, Bringing Back Significant
Johor Bahru, a rapidly developing city located next to Singapore, is a melting pot where people of diverse cultures, backgrounds, races, and religions coexist harmoniously. Despite its unique character, Johor Bahru often finds itself overshadowed by the success of its neighboring country, Singapore. Many people merely pass through the city on their way to Singapore, and it is sometimes labeled as "boring" due to a perceived lack of attractions. As a result, locals often prefer visiting the suburban areas instead.
This project aims to revitalize Johor Bahru by highlighting its cultural richness, historical significance, and promoting local artists and attractions. The goal is to encourage people to spend more time in the city and appreciate all it has to offer. By celebrating Johor Bahru's unique identity and fostering a vibrant local scene, we hope to make the project a destination in its own right.

To capitalize on this potential, the project proposes the creation of a performing arts center featuring an amphitheater. This venue would provide a platform for traditional dance performances, enabling people from different racial backgrounds to learn and experience each other's cultural dances. The center would also include spaces for artists to showcase their work, engage with other artists, and share ideas. Additionally, dedicated areas would be available for street musicians to perform, whether in enclosed or open settings, allowing them to express their talents freely.

Connectivity like link bridge, roads and pathways
The Design Scheme is located in between Jalan Trus and Jalan Wong Ah Fook (Next to Public Bank) in Johor Bahru, Johor. The site was originally a link bridge project by coronation square but it has not started working yet. The site was connected to the Sungai Segget trail which is just located right in front of the site and the site is located at the most popular area of JB which is a street consist of City Square malls, JBCC mall and varies of hotels. Moreover the site is surrounded by a variety of religious buildings like church, temple and mosque. The area is also a melting pot of people coming from different places.

Site Details
Lower Ground Floor Plan
The lower ground floor, which directly faces Jalan Wong Ah Fook, serves as the main entrance from the front of the building. This area is mostly open and permeable to visitors who walk past the building. The two main spaces here include the market spaces at the front of the plan, where stalls sell various items, and an amphitheater at the center of the building, which hosts performances and events. These areas are primarily open, designed to exhibit and engage with visitors passing by.
Market SpaceAmphitheater
Upper Ground Floor Plan
The upper ground floor faces Jalan Trus, where more locals and office workers tend to hang out. Because of this, a café is placed facing Jalan Trus, providing a spot for locals to relax and eat during their break time or after work. Additionally, the dance room is located at the front right of the building, with its fully glass walls, allowing passersby to watch the dancers as they walk along.
The drop-off area is also situated on this floor, along the side of the building facing Jalan Trus, to avoid the heavy traffic that often occurs on Jalan Wong Ah Fook.
Additionally, pocket spaces are strategically placed throughout the floor, providing visitors with spots to sit, relax, or engage in their own activities.

Level 1 Plan
In the level one floor we first have the coffee booth which intentionally there for the people who use the library to have a place to grab a coffee when they are going to the library to either study or work there.
Moreover, the library, which takes up a large space on this level, serves as a place for visitors to study the history of Johor Bahru, as well as a space for users to get their work done or even to chill and relax.
The link bridge is located here because the City Square Mall doesn't have a library, so I thought it would be nice to provide a connection to my building, allowing users who want to access the library to easily come over and use it.

Level 2 Plan
On level two, the Blackbox theaters are located. This is where users can practice or perform their shows, with four theaters available to ensure ample space. Additionally, a larger theater is provided for those needing more room
