ARCHITECTURE DESIGN STUDIO 3 [ARC 2116]

1. ARCHITECTURE DESIGN STUDIO 3 [ARC 2116] Project 3: GENIUS LOCI: VISITOR INTERPRETIVE CENTRE (VIC) My thinking about the site (PulauJerejak) -PulauJerejak had been famous for detention of leprosy patient and there is quite a few quarantine centre was built. -People who step into this island must be fill with feeling of separation and hopeless. -People that staying in the PulauJerejak can always see their homeland (Pulau Penang or others) but they cannot reach there. -They are hoping someday they may walk through the darkness to the light source, guidance to the hope. -People inside the detention camp was used to the long corridor alongside with the opening of small cabin. -Inside the small spaces there is always an opening to let the only light source come into the cabin. Orthographic Drawings Site Context I had chosen a flat ground between the jetty and the quarantine centre. Activities carried out previously was quarry, transport and detaining leprosy patient. Ground Floor Plan Scale 1:200 First Floor Plan Scale 1:200 A B B Location Plan (PulauJerejak) NTS Roof Floor Plan Scale 1:200 A West elevation Scale 1:200 East elevation Scale 1:200 Section A-A Scale 1:200 South elevation Scale 1:200 North elevation Scale 1:200 Site Plan Scale 1:500 Section B-B Scale 1:200 Poetic Spaces Interior space: The slits of glass panel allow the light source to go through the wall into the spaces. The shadow and light effect will play on the VIC ‘s visitors as they walk through the long ramp. Public gathering space and cafeteria, expose to the environment outside, contrast compared to other spaces. A huge light source coming from the two end of the building giving people hope and guidance to walk through the building. • Design Strategy • Ramp – Convenient for old people (disabled) • Glass Block – Giving the full view around the site • Linear form – Smooth flowing of the experience inside the VIC • Glass slits – Penetration of light • Characteristics of My Design Model • Different feeling at different view port. • Feeling of little hope(light) in contrast with dark spaces within the model. • Alternate path instead of just one way trip. • 50 % exibition hall, 20 % public gathering space, 10 % cafeteria, 5% W/C,5% souvenir shop, 10% utilities.

Green roofs provide shade and remove heat from the air through evapotranspiration, reducing temperatures of the roof surface and the surrounding air.Itmaximise radiant cooling. Mechanical Ventilation Natural Ventilated B Ground Floor Plan First Floor Roof Plan SUN PATH Section B-B Interior ventilation through openings (entrance and exit) to the 1st floor ( open space). Section A-A 21st March 9am 12pm 5pm MECHANICAL COOLING Interior ventilation interior spaces .An ideal mechanical cooling is the circulation of air within the would provide air to occupants at a comfortable temperature and humidity.
