The Old KL Railway Station is one of Kuala Lumpur's most famous landmarks. Until the Petronas Twin Towers was built, the railway station, together with the Sultan Abdul Samad building, was among the most photographed symbols of the city.The station was completed in 1910 and designed by that most prolific and talented of British colonial architects, Arthur Benison Hubback.

Working at the Public Works Department, he was responsible for many other iconic buildings in Malaysia such as the stately Ipoh Railway Stationand the Royal Gallery in Klang. The KL Railway Station was built with Mughal features such as the elegant chhatris (dome-capped pavilions of Indian origin) along its roof line.The station served as the city's main rail hub until the modern KL Sentral station took over in 2001.The old station is still used for KTM Komuter services. Some of its platforms were too low for KTM Komuter trains and a more modern extension with a separate entrance was built in the 1980s.

siteanalysis The objectives of the project are to encoourage creative thinking in design at a medium-scale, which integrates conceot, function, aesthatics, ergonomics, details and fun.It also to understand the usage and application of architectural draing to spatial design and environment of terminal design

problemstatement

clientprofile

Since 15th April 2001 when the diversion of long-distance intercity rail traffic to Kuala Lumpur Sentral took place, less than a kilometer south, the original station’ s important diminished and redundant station facilities were withdrawn. Intercity trains still stop and pass through this station but no longer as much as it got busy like before.

The terminal became like kind of haunted. The project was proposed to bring to bring back the the function and purpose of having the station as it was before with upgrading and improving of not oly the structural part but also the services and the operatins

Malaysia railway is formerly known as the Malayan Railway Administration, it came to be known as KTMB (Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad) after the government led corporatisation in 1992. As the only railway operator in Malaysia, the railway remained wholly owned by the federal government.The 1,669 Km Malaysia railway system dates back to the British colonial era, when it was first built to transport tin. Fares are generally reasonable, but the low speed intercity trains on the narrow gauge tracks make them not of the in competitive with other modes of transportation.he current KTMB route covers West Coast and East Coast of peninsular Malaysia.
