INTRODUCTION

In this introduction to construction industry’s final project, we are required to

form in a group of 2 students to find a specific land in Taylor’s University

Lakeside Campus area to initiate a small construction. The site we need to

select for our construction site should not be more than 30mx30m. We should

propose a project that serves one of the following purposes which is:

1. Recreation area

2. Study Enhancement Area

3. Rest area

4. Food and beverage (dining area)

5. Commercial area (exclude food and beverage) We have decided to construct our site into a recreation area. We have selected

the site 30mx30m which is free car park spaces beside Taylor’s University

Lakeside Campus’s Syopz’s Mall. Our 30mx30m site also connected with part of

lake.

SUGGESTION AND PROPOSAL

For this project, we decided to propose a recreational area. This

recreational area can be visit by students during day and night times.

It is cover with a lot of greens example like trees, flowers and grass.

This recreational area also for student to hang out and chill just like

another example of Syopz’s Mall.

INTRODUCTION TO THE SITE

Basically our site is an area located in Taylor’s University Lakeside Campus. The

location of Taylor’s University Lakeside Campus is No.1 Jalan Taylor’s 47500

Subang Jaya Selangor Darul Ehsan.

These are the closer views of our site. As you can see the cars are

parking on the muddy and rocky roads.

This is the view of the site from library.

The site is a parking spaces which need

to pay for entry.

THE SITE PLAN

Site

30mx 30m

Our site is an area beside Taylor’s University Lakeside Campus’s Syopz Mall.

Our site is include the free car park spaces and some parts of the 5.5 hectares

man-made lake. The approximate measurement of the car park area only is

500mx800m. 1/3 of our site will be the parts of lake and 2/3 will be the car

park spaces.

SITE ANALYSIS

Car park spaces

Syopz’s Mall

30m x 30m

Lake

Wooden

Fences Selected site

We had observed that our site conditions is always under a hot sunny sun

which cause the students sweat a lot when they going up or off from their cars

to the campus. This is because the site has a very less amount of trees and

plants to cold the weather or as a shelter to cover the area.

The wind strength at our site is average because it does have a lot of tress and

only an empty spaces. Sometimes the wind will be strong when the sign of rain

is coming.

The road in our site is not in a good condition because it full of rocks and sand

which have a rough and uneven surface and it may damage the vehicles tires.

The worst feeling happen when the strong wind blew and the sand on the site

fly and cause students eyes uncomfortable.

There is no places example like shelter for students to rest under a hot sun.

Concept

The concept of the recreational area is part of the lake and part of

the ground. The part of the lake allowed students to have fishing

activities. The recreational area will create a platform there.

The ground of the recreational area is made in grass floor which

allowed students to sit on it for resting or having some activities on

the grass floor. It also a place for students to relax.

Gazebo is the most common structure you can see in every park but

in this recreational area you can see a shelter provided BBQ

equipment for students to have BBQ there.

THE OVERALL CONCEPT

Before this it was a car park spaces but after the recreational park is

done it will only allowed bicycles to enter the park.

LAYOUT AND PERSPECTIVES

These are the image how our element or structure will look like in

the recreational area.

This is how the platform for fishing look like people

can fishing there.

The wood bench in our recreational area people can

rest here.

This is how the stone bench will look like it is nicer

and people can rest here.

The gazebo will look like this people can rest inside

when hot weather or raining.

This is the Ixora flowers surrounding beside the area.

This is the garden LED light in the area so that when

night people can also visit here.

This is the gazebo that people can barbeque inside

here.

This is how the bench under a big tree look like.

People can rest and study here.

This is how the shelter walkway look like.

This is how the water fountain in the middle of

the shelter walkway.

This is the stone walkway in the recreational

area.

This is the example of toilet in the

recreational park.

This is the example of grass will be plant

at the recreational park as a grass floor

for people to sit. It looks kind of clean

and smooth.

These are the wooden fences will be used to

surround the platform and lake area.

THE PURPOSE AND BENEFITS OF THE SITE

The purpose and benefits to create this recreational park is to make

the area more greenish instead of it just like an unprotected area

become a car park spaces before this. Since Taylor’s University

Lakeside Campus have a large amount of students and the study or

revision areas are limited so this recreational area is create for

students to have their discussions or works at here. This also a good

place for students to enjoy and relax. Here also can release their

stress with the good environment and fresher air which surround

with a lot of greens. Students also can have some activities in this

recreational area. They can sit on the grass floor which is a new life

style to have their revision and study. The most interesting activity in

this recreational park is there is a lake for fishing. There is also

barbeque stuff inside the each shelter for students to have their

barbeque after their fishing.

CONCLUSION

In a conclusion, we know to build a recreation area within Taylor's Lakeside

University is not that easy, because we have think a lot and plan a lot before

we start the construction. For example the air pollution, the sound pollution

will affect the students studying and etc. Meanwhile, we built a recreation area

which can provide a better place for students to enjoy themselves while

studying. We also provide some activity inside the recreational area. We hope

student will like and enjoy it. Lastly, we hope that this construction will get

approve by Taylor’s University Lakeside Campus as soon as possible. This will

be a recreational area which might not be appeared in others Universities or

Colleges.
