Introduction To Final ProjectThis is a group project that which only formed by 2

students. This project requires students to construct a

project that serves a specific purpose that are given by the

lecturers for students to choose. Lecturers had listed out

five purposes, that are recreational area, study enhancement

area, rest area, foods and beverages (dining area) or

commercial area (excluded foods and beverages). After that,

students may have to choose a topic to construct one of the

purpose that given by the lecturers. In this project, students

are require to figure out a site in Taylor’s University

Lakeside Campus with a size of not be more than 30M x

30M. Students should do research and study about the site.

Beside that, students also need to do analysis about the site

before constructing of the construction project. This project

require students to produce a 20 pages of A4 size bounded

report of the project.

Site Analysis

The site we had chosen is one of the rooftop garden which

located at Level 2, right at the end of Block E of Taylor’s

University Lakeside Campus. The area of our site is

approximately 25M X 15M. It is a public space roof terrace

and open space with only a partial roof by the side. It has

railing of 1.15 metres extending out from the right railing

of the site. The entrance is located at the south of the site.

Looking towards to the north, it is a car parks, sports area

and also a condominium. Looking towards to the east, there

is a view of opposite roof terrace of the same level but that

area cannot be access. Looking towards to the west, there is

a view of large trees and residential area. Our site is located

near to the toilets, staircase, lift and office. It also near to

the vending machines occupied along the walkway going

towards to the proposed area. Wind usually blows from

West to East.

It is an open space. In front of our site is a new residential

buildings and car parks for our students. The futsal court

and basketball court are also just right behind of the car

parks. Our site has a railing with1.15 metres. It has a wide

entrance. Normally people wont go into this place because

there is nothing to do with here and it is quite hot during

afternoon.

The right side of the site from entrance

It has a small roof shading extending at the right side of our

site. The roof shading is only 3 meters from the site

entrance to the end of the right side. Apart from here,

basically we can clearly see to the commercial building of

Taylor’s University Lakeside Campus and the recreational

lake opposite towards us. It is an open space which sunlight

almost covered it at day.

It has a larger view compared to the right side which

includes a large amount of trees, residential, and a few

amount of skyscrapers. Below of the site there is a river

flowing. You can feel the strong wind blows at the same

time.

A recreation area is a type of protected area designated

in some jurisdictions. Recreational area is used to let

people to have fun, rest and having exercise during free

time. It also used to relax people exhausted who work

for whole day long.

Recreational Area can be a large or small area. But in a

city or town, this area is cannot be left out. It is

important to the surrounding community.

Introduction To The SiteOur site is based on green landscape site. It is a roof terrace garden

which is more on green plants. The purpose is to attract the vision

effect of people and also the surrounding community. The gazebo

is located at the south of the site to let people rest in the garden

when they are tired. Beside that , pebble stones will be placed

around the gazebo and some parts of the garden. There is also a

wooden plank walking pathway for people to walk into the gazebo.

In the garden, there is some concrete benches under the canopy

trees. The purpose we place the concrete benches is to let people

rest and get an opportunity to experience the atmosphere of the

garden. A concrete sitting area which formed in a huge circle shape

will be place in the center of the garden. Patio tiles also includes in

the garden. Not only to let it looks more attractive and also can let

people to walk into the area which is has concrete tables and chairs.

The concrete tables and chairs are placed under the partial roof

provide the students having their discussion, gossip time or other

activities by sitting there.


15

Concept & Idea

Since Taylor’s University Lakeside Campus still has

not provided any garden for the students and lecturers to

chill and relax in the campus. So, instead of leaving our site

a empty place, we decided to construct a roof terrace

garden. Our concept is based on planting a lots of green

plants and also provides certain sitting and relaxing area for

the students and lectures. The reason is because the vision

quality is important to the surrounding community.

Sometimes, students may need to do some small discussion,

they can also visit the garden to have their discussion or

maybe works at the concrete tables and chairs. We will also

place pebble stones and wooden plank walking pathway for

them to walk directionally.

The green plants will be plant accordingly to the design in

the garden. Higher plants will be plant to avoid sunlight

and lower plants will plant all around the garden. It also

provides fresh air to everyone at the same time.
