Phase 1 Tasks:
PART A: Research and Analysis (Materials for Workshop)
In a group of 10, you are required to:
Conduct a site analysis of the study area as indicated in the map and the massing model of study area(Group A). Conduct a site analysis of the site for the Medan Kidd’s Urban Room and the site model (Group B). Record and Document the townscape of the existing urban fabric and architecture of the township (Group C). Please share with the tutors the content of your study by Thursday 18thJuly 2024.
PART B1: Concept Development (Workshop) Working in guided brainstorming workshop format (with a facilitator) each group will: Develop a conceptual framework in form of narrative for the revitalization of the study area. Develop a design strategy for the new pedestrian path. Conduct a precedent study of urban room and youth center. Develop a design strategy for the urban room. Stationery for the workshop:
Butter papers (A3)..bigger is better PART B2: Concept Development (Structured Workshop) In the same group as in PART A:
Appoint a group leader and/or facilitator. Pick one of these Framework Theme: Based on the theme, develop a conceptual framework for your group List down 5 design principles for your framework with some explanation about each principle. Identify 4 nodes located within the study area that connecting the Kinta Riverfront to your proposed Urban Room site (plus the 2 anchor nodes, in total there are 6 nodes). Identify and draw the paths that connecting the 6 nodes (in total there are minimum of 5 paths). In group, design the nodes and the paths according to any . The main questions that you need to concentrate are: How can we improve/change the node/the path? What is the suitable urban form/character for the node/path? What are the suitable activities/events for the node/path? What the node/path should look like? visual image of the node/path? In group, proposed in a diagrammatic conceptual program for the proposed urban room: The main items that you need to provide are: The site layout diagram which shows the block’s main component and circulation The proposed entrance location and facade. The shops/facilities that might be included in the urban room. The proposed circulation diagram. The street facades (with intervention if any). Compile the design process in a scrapbook format using Canva/PowerPoint/Goggle Slides. Prepare another presentation slides for the finalised design. Please refer to serial vision narrative in preparing the presentation sequence. Present the finalised design verbally.
Documentation and Presentation (Workshop Outcomes)
Each group is required to produce a digital scrapbook that record and shows:
A process report outlining the revitalization plan for the Township. A detailed map of the new route that connect the project site and Kinta river front A set of design guidelines for the revitalization of the Township. A proposed conceptual site plan and massing for the proposed building on the identified site. Each group must present the revitalization plan on 25th July 2024.
