AR718 Integrated Architecture Design by Valerie Tan Qin Rou 1001850343
Kuala Lumpur is one of the fastest growing cities in Asia and the largest city in Malaysia, covering an area of 243 km² with a census population of 1,982,112 as of 2020. However, each cities has its own issues that its inhabitants stuggle on a daily ba sis. In KL, visible issues such as homelessness, traffic congestion, flash flood and more can be observed which requires long term solutions.
Through thorough site analysis done across 5 groups, we studied on all aspects of the site ranging from its history and context, demographics, architectural typologies, urban planning as well as site demarcation and selection. Assigned under group 1, we mainly focused on site selections within the conflu ence of Kuala Lumpur from mapping out each par cel boundary, preparing 2D drawings & 3D models to selecting potential site for our final project as well as analyzing the SWOT of each site.
Group 1 was in charged of constructing an overall site model of the confluence with site demarcation. From the site model, we decided to integrate it with our abstract model as reaction towards observations made on site. Hence, we designed and constructed a frame enveloping the site model with cracked mirror on top. The mirrored version of the site shows the flawed side of the city with all the issues we are tackling - the cloths represents homeless street friends, cranes and scaffolding symbolizes overdevelopment while the recyclable trash shows littering probelms that can we seen around KL.
With the rising number of homeless people in KL due to numerous factors, the Homeless Project aims to provide these street friends a home equipped with basic needs without interfering the daily routine of others. With the aim to create a cleaner KL by eradicating littering issue in KL, the Homeless Project introduces bartering sys tem into the scheme to create a win-win situation for our street friends, and also the citizen of KL. Under-utilized rooftop spaces will be re-purposed for the homeless to stay while also not forgetting to provide benefit to the existing shop-owners. The Homeless Project main purpose is to revitalize abandon streets in KL by designing a solu tion to tackle local issues while incorporating budget and environmentally friendly elements. Materials used for the elements are also recycled from the goods provided by our fellow street friends, creating a cleaner, greener environment. Hence, in a way, they are also building their own home piece by piece.
Based on site observations, literature reviews and further research, I came up with an abstract model that illustrated my architectural reaction based on ‘City Making’ theme. The model showcased my observations in the city as well as targetted issues and proposed design solutions. Various urban strategies in a macro and micro scale were pro duced to support and further elaborate the speculative solutions proposed. Site selection for the final project and justifications were also done at this stage to prepare for project 3 later on.
Everyday, many people are seen travelling to KL city centre especially office workers via public transport or cars which is evident during site visits. However, after rush hours and especially at night, most of them leave and those left behind are the homeless with no place to go. Day by day, the situation worsens but no efficient actions seem to take place. Why is it that the city is full of movement and short moments of crossovers yet lack of interaction between different parties? There is a lack of empathy and connection between one another. Obviously, immediate changes can’t be expected so I believe short probable actions should be taken slowly to ease interaction between the public especially working class and fellow street friends. KL is often known as a transient city because most peo ple come and go but don’t stay for long. Hence, the best time and way to do so is during transit hours and in between routes whereby they are out of their working place yet still within the city. The idea also stems from the play of word ‘transit’ because both target groups - homeless and working class relates to it. The homeless are searching for a transitional period whereby they are given a second chance back to normalcy; the working class needs a transit space be tween work and home - be it a resting & recharging space, eating space of even entertainment area in between. The proposal creates the perfect pit stop and crossover point for both parties where the homeless are first recruited and trained in various areas so they are ready to join society again. The working class on the other hand will stop by this transit space to recharge and these 2 parties will get to meet and interact during those moments. Various stakeholders such as authorities, NGOs, major companies and shopowners are also involved in this proposal where they provide support financially or participate in the training programme. The programmes will also be expanded throughout KL as an urban infill so it’s not limited within site but goes beyond it. All in all, its a project that involves all parties in strengthening the bond between different social tiers as well as filling up the in-between moments in the city for better experience for all.
The model encapsulates and showcases the idea and proposal in abstract form.
The wooden blocks and white clips represent the homeless people and problems lying beneath and how they are trying to regain a place back in society. The roads and cars shows the movement in and out as well as within the city; so much movement yet lack of interaction and warmth between different social tiers. The platforms and elements on top such as playscape, stalls and performing platform represents all the proposal. The different connection lines show how different stakeholders aid in connecting the pieces - slowly easing interaction between the people while adding fun and meaningful parts all over the city.
Movement in, out & within the city
Connection lines between different parties and programmes
Elements representing food stalls, playscape, performances that encourages the general public to stop over during their stay in the city
Towers representing various stakeholders such as NGOs, government agencies, shopwoners, major companies & more who play a role in improving this city
Stop over platforms with different proposed programmes along prominent routes
The central hub - a shelter & training ground for the homeless, a meeting ground with the working class as well as the space where proposed programmes happening all over the city can come back and plug in to.
The diagram beside shows the movement of different parties to hotspots in the city with in a common day. The orange cutouts and lines represent working class while the blue represents street frineds. The left diagram shows the current situation whereby parties of different social tiers crossover everyday but with no actual interaction. The right di agram on the other hand shows the situation after proposal with the pink clips resembling various stakeholders such as NGOs, major companies, shopowners and govern ment agnecies that help in connecting them and easing interaction between different parties with the time they have in the city.

Final Board & Model
Carrying forward from Project 1 & 2, ‘The Hearth’ homeless transit hub was born with the aim as a 3-way transit hub - a space that provides homeless street friends shelter and training during their transition period of reintegrating with society; where working class can visit during break time or transit hours as well as a central hub where trucks gather to expand progammes beyond site. This proposal involves all parties in the city and strengthen the connection between them, leaving no one behind.
