ABSTRACT

The main goal of the project is to push forward a design that is in relation to fulfill this project of revitalisation of Al-Ghazali Road.

It involves the designing of façade, flood mitigation and SHAHS Mosque lower courtyard. The concept idea is Little Piece of Paradise. The concept refers to the design that will relate the users about the journey to paradise based on Imam Al-Ghazali quotes.

Architecture and landscape architecture students then play an important role in providing and designing a space that betters the quality of users life and helps to improve their day to day activities. Apply Art and Design students do their task by inserting the best suitable material for every design in order to make the design sustainable while Quantity Surveyor student do their costing to find the most affordable cost related to design.

In the context of IIUM, to relate the users about the journey to paradise is to create islamic design.The issue of over flooding along the Al-Ghazali road affects the society in a way that the local community no longer has any sense of attachment to the buildings there.This project therefore aims to restore the sense of place within the community using the design that related to the road name itself.

THE FINDINGS INDICATE THAT "GREENING" MIGHT HAVE BEEN A POSSIBLE MENTAL HEALTH ENHANCEMENT TECHNIQUE FOR THE COMMUNITY. GREEN SPACE CAN HAVE IMMEDIATE PROTECTIVE EFFECTS AGAINST HEALTH RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH AIR POLLUTION, EXCESSIVE HEAT AND NOISE POLLUTION, INCREASED BEHAVIOURS PROMOTING HEALTH SUCH AS PHYSICAL ACTIVITY, AND HAS BEEN CORRELATED WITH GREATER LEVELS OF SOCIAL SUPPORT AND GROUP.

Drake University, Des Moines lowa

MAXIMIZING EXPOSURE TO GREEN SPACE IN THE COMMUNITY MAY BE A COSTEFFECTIVE STRATEGY TO ENHANCE HEALTH AND MINIMISE HEALTH INEQUALITIES, AS STUDENTS IN CAMPUS HAVE A MORE RESTRICTED CAPACITY TO MOVE OUTSIDE DURING TIME OF LOCKDOWN CRISIS OR DURING EXAM SEASON, RESULTING IN INCREASED RELIANCE ON ITS ENVIRONMENTS FOR HEALTHIER LIFESTYLES AND ACCESSIBILITY.

REVITALIZATION STUDY PAGE 13

CENTENARY PARK Bangkok is a town with 15 million residents and workers on the top of a muddy river delta. It sinks more than a centimetre per year which is four times faster than the expected increase in sea level and may be below sea level by 2030.

Bangkok is a flat area, so by inclining the entire park to catch every drop of rain, the construction specialist teams engineered the power of gravity. From the highest point, the gravity force brings down the runoff to its lowest point.

A system with 3 key components : 1. The green roof With its rainwater tanks and museum underneath, this is the largest green roof in Thailand. The accumulated rain can be used to water the park for up to a month in the dry season.

2. The wetland With the native water plants, the runoff from the green roof then falls into wetland to help filter and clean the water.

3. The retention pond The pond collects all of the water at the end. The pond also has water bikes so that people can paddle and help clean the water. Their exercise is an active part of the park water system.

Centenary Park offers people room and space for water, which is just what the city of Bangkok needs. As it can carry and store a million gallons of water, this is an amphibious design and not a single drop of rain is wasted in this park.

BRIEF:

The objective of this project was to beautify the yard and attract birds and butterflies by providing flowery and fruity tree. Trees also planted in a row so that the canopy tree continued to make a path for birds to fly around.With a colorful array of edible and ornamental plants, a bird bath and bird feeder, the garden provides food, water, cover and places for wildlife to raise their young.

LOCATION: Evanston, Illinois TYPOLOGY: Existing Vegetation FUNCTION: to create landscape design to attract birds and butterfly as their path and habitat

DRAINAGE CASE STUDY FACADE CASE STUDY

ISSUE:

FACADE There are some areas at the Al-Ghazali walk that will give the glare effect in a certain time that

PAGE PAGE 30 34

shows the lack of facade. Other than that, the facade also is dull and unattractive. There are ialso inadequate amount of green environment in the site.

LOCATION: University of Leicester TYPOLOGY: Facade FUNCTION: Refresh the existing site with green environment.

BRIEF: The addition of green facades or living wall increase the green environment that gives a refreshing looks on the site. The green facades or living wall also helps in decreasing the temperature and acts as insulator for heat and noise. Lastly, it improves the buildings energy efficiency and produces ecological benefits for a more sustainable urban environment. The green envelope also reduces the quantity of UV light and causes a positive effect on building durability.

LIGHTING CASE STUDY

ISSUE:

LIGHTING The courtyard has no sufficient lighting during night . Poor lighting at public space

PAGE 31

will cause inconvenience to the user in terms of safety. For example the user might trip or fall while walking at night. Poor lighting also leads to crime and unusual activities which is very opposite with Islamic environment in IIUM. In terms of design, the user will not be able to enjoy a night view at the courtyard so it will waste the effort of designers.

LOCATION: Masjid AL Bukhary Alor Setar TYPOLOGY: Lighting FUNCTION: To provide proper lighting for safety

BRIEF: The purpose of providing sufficient lighting during night is to make sure the safety of the user is secured. lighting can do a lot to alleviate the fear of crime, and therefore encourage greater use of them, making them truly open for all.It also can make spaces more inviting and help create visual experiences. Hence, the proper lighting will be provided with bollard lights and wall lights.

FLOODING CASE STUDY

ISSUE:

FLOODING There is one main drain running parallel on both sides of the road which collects water

PAGE 32

from the inner and outer courtyards, the gutter, and the discharge points from the road.

The Al Ghazali road accumulates water during heavy rainfall due to several factors such as: -Inadequate/ blocked discharge outlets -High water level in river causing backflow -Capacity of drainage system

FLOODING AT AL GHAZALI ROAD

In order to understand the integrity of the problem and cater to its solution, two studies on the following have been made:Urban storm water systemRainwater harvesting system

LOCATION: Kuching, Malaysia TYPOLOGY: Drainage/Flood Infrastructure FUNCTION: Mitigate pooling of water on urban surface

BRIEF: The objective of this project was to design an alternative solution of using a roundabout as a Storm Water Detention Pond. The study also resolves the aesthetic purposes of drainage system by using softscapes of landscape elements are deemed to represent local heritage or identity. In this research, the concept of utilising roundabout as a component of the urban stormwater system is explored.

SEATING CASE STUDY

ISSUE:

SEATING The current Al-Ghazali walk and courtyard has inadequate seating for

PAGE 33

public users such as benches and chairs which resulted to lack of visitation either from student or visitors at both sites.

BRIEF: The addition of seating or seating area such as amphitheater seating wall, layering ground or benches helps in creating an educational environment for the students. Other than educational purposes, the seating also can be used for social activities and nature appreciation that allows people to socialize and observe the surroundings while forming a gratitude towards the God for the blessings. Lastly, the seating area can function as waiting spots for people to perform congregational prayers or the shop in neighbourhood context

LOCATION: University of Toronto Scarborough TYPOLOGY: Seating FUNCTION: Increase visitation from students and visitors.

Promotes educational and relax environment.

DESIGN CONCEPT 29 | Steam

CONCEPT PAGE 35

CONCEPT INSPIRATION

The inspiration of the concept is derived from the Philosophies of Imam Al Ghazali. As the site name is after one of the Greatest Islamic Scholars, it is only fitting to tribute to the Imam by spreading awareness of his works; especially Hujjatul Islam.This shares the beauty of life delivered by Islam.

LITTLE PIECE OF

HEAVEN CONCEPT STATEMENT

The beauty of life is captured by the cascading stream, luscious vegetation and green shady trees.

The soundscapes of trickling water, chirps of birds and buzzing bees along with the visual attractiveness reminds one of the bountiful blessings of life on Earth and remember God.

CONCEPT

PAGE 36

PLANTING CONCEPT

“SEEDS OF BLESSING” refers to the interpretation and scientific findings of plants specifically mentioned in the qur’an. The plants in the quran are generally said to be more beneficial than other plants based on analysis of the scholars interpretation of the quran, such as in treating many types of disease, releasing a natural scent to the surrounding,and producing food to the users.

The plants that are being proposed to the designated site are plants that resembles those in the al quran, but are suitable in malaysia’s tropical climate. These plants produce sweet fruits such as grape (vitis vinifera), strawberry (fragaria x ananassa), ciku (manilkara zapota), and black mulberry (morus nigra). while there are also scented vegetations such as cape jasmine (gardenia jasminoides), mint (mentha x piperita), and kenanga (cananga odorata).

Trees that provide shades and blooming flowers, african tulip tree (spathodea campanulata), golden shower (cassia fistula), pink poui (tabebuia rosea), and kerukup siam (muntingia calabura).

SPACE PLANNING

SPATIAL ORGANIZATION

PAGE 42

The current courtyard lacks the presence of an organized space.

Open seating's exposed to the unpredictable weather are unfavorable to the users. Other than holding booths every now and then, the mass space remains barren which students cut through without any notice. The existing courtyard does not break the monotonous blocks of sandblasted building.

Courtyards can be a space for gathering, events, as well as relaxing spots which are not catered for in the existing space. By understanding and creating functional spaces in the courtyard will increase its value and uses.

A green zone can revitalize the central focus of the area.

There is no designated loading area for the commercial spaces.

Loading service hours are usually earlier in the morning but occasionally these services are seen done openly in public.

This concerns the unaesthetic view of truck goods unloading openly as well as the safety of pedestrians in the court space from moving vehicles.

ERGONOMICS PAGE 53

ERGONOMICS Ergonomics is the process of designing or arranging workplaces, products and systems so that they fit the people who use them.

Ergonomics are important in understanding of human movement and cognitive functioning. Hence ,its aspects also be considered in all spaces like al ghazali road, courtyard and parking area design since the target users included all society for example PWD, elderly and kids. The ergonomic element will be implemented in the hardscape which is the furniture on the site.

CONCLUSION The project of renewing and revitalizing the Al Ghazali walk and Courtyard in IIUM aims to uplift the space and its functionality for the local users and public visitors. The strategies are fully aimed to resolve the current lack of assets of the courtyard and other maintenance features for the health and safety of the space using sustainable measures and as well as addressing its ergonomic and economic concerns.

The elements of design that s t r e n g t h e n t h e a m b i e n c e o f th e existing space and strive to achieve a passive solution to current issues are observed and reflected in the final p r o p o s a l . B y e n h a n c i n g t h e p o te n ti a l use of the courtyard, it will give students, staff and guests of IIUM a s p e c i a l p l a c e t o d e v e l o p c o n n e c ti o n s with the surrounding nature, socialize and create new bonds, as well as a space to unwind and relax.

F i n a l l y , t h e c o n c e p t a n d o r g a n i z a ti o n of the design hopes to successfully t r a n s l a t e a n d t r u l y r e f l e c t u p o n th e A l G h a z a l i i n s p i r a t i o n o f t h e s p a c e ; th u s b e i n g a n e d u c a t i o n a l g u i d e to th e s i te explorers.
