TASIK TITIWANGSA

PROJECT 1

Taman Tasik Titiwangsa is an inland location covering part of the city centre and the outskirts of the city, consisting of a mix urban and semi-rural areas.

Tasik Titiwangsa was a tin mining area in Kuala Lumpur.

Before 1980s

This was in conjunction with the Malaysian Government movement towards an urban renewal where several policies were made to upgrade the living environment (Abu Bakar 2002).

THE BEGINNINGURBAN MORPHOLOGY

The mining area was then established into a recreation

area for the local people.

EDGESmain edges

The located site is bounded mainly by the hard edges or the urban typology.

EDGEShard and soft


The formation of soft edges have also created a sense of pedestrian barrier and disconnection between the lake and the public.

EDGESwith connections



In terms of pedestrian walkability, the connections are mainly around the main edges of highways and main streets with provided facilities such as underpassages and pedestrian bridges only.

EDGESwith connections and pedestrian walkability



In terms of pedestrian walkability, the connections are mainly around the main edges of highways and main streets with provided facilities such as underpassages and pedestrian bridges only.

Hence, creating an incoviniency towards users who wishes to visit without their own vehicles.

Although countless of elements could be found within Tasik Titiwangsa, the edges forms a disconnection between these elements. Hence, creating an issue of circulation and accessibility towards the park.

SITE PERMEABILITYVehicular Access

Jalan Chan

Chin Mooi

Entrance from Tun

Razak Highway

Site 2 could be accessed from the main highway (Jalan Tun Razak) and also from the north (Jalan Chan Chin Mooi). Hence, its accessibility would be much smoother.

Site 3 could only be accessed from the one way street (Jalan Tembeling) from Jalan Tun Razak. However, it would be inconvenient if they arrive from the east or north as users might need to take a lap to arrive to site.


SITE PERMEABILITYPedestrian Access

Jalan Chan

Chin Mooi

Entrance from Tun

Razak Highway

Poor pedestrian walkability towards the park when arriving with public transports due to the pedestrian barriers that have isolated and disconnected the street network.

Also, it is due to having mainly private and semi-private government sectors on the east and south.

Barrier

Government sectors


Garden Buffer

The buffer zone of Site 3 creates a sense of separation and privacy within the site. Hence, creating lesser interaction between the space with the active public realm.

To compare with, Site 2 has stronger public relation and interaction.

Absence of Cleanliness

The surrounding of the site would not have a pleasant environment if its cleanliness is not well maintained.

Vandalism

Vandalism would happen due to the amount of schools and students around the site.

Probability of Vehicular

Congestion

Congestion might happen if both vehicular and pedestrian circulation are not well planned.
