INTRODUCTION

In a group work of 2 students, we need to find a

specific land within campus area to initiate a small

construction project. The size of the land shall not be

more than 30m x 30m. we would propose one

project that serves one of the following purposes.

1. Recreation area

2. Study Enhancement Area

3. Rest area

4. Food and beverage (dining area)

5. Commercial area (exclude food and beverage)

The type of area I get is Recreation area.

Recreation Area

DEFINITION:

A recreation area is a type of protected area designated in

some jurisdictions. In the United States, National Recreation

Areas are administered by several different agencies. They

typically do not meet the strict guidelines to become national

parks. In U.S. state park systems, recreation areas may also

fail to meet some criteria to be designated state parks, such as

having a large number of non-contiguous properties. Size is not

necessarily a defining criteria. However, recreation area is not

necessary a park or a garden. It could be shopping mall, beach,

as long as there is the place to let people to carry out

recreation activities.

Example of recreation area:

1. Golden Gate National Recreation Area (USA)

2. Gunung Keriang Recreational Park, Kedah

(MALAYSIA)

3. KLCC PARK (MALAYSIA)

Site Analysis

The place that I chose is the Uni Plaza Square.

There are few reasons that I chose this place. 1. It is a open area, which allow all the Taylor’s student to access the place, and

normally when Taylor’s held some event or activities, this is the place they will

use for.

2. It is located at the center of the University. Almost every Taylorians pass by

here when they are going lecture theater or commercial block.

3. It is beautiful! The pattern of the square pavement give the modern feeling to

this place, and I found no reason to not maximize the uses of this place.

To sum up all the factors, the major purpose I

choosing this place is because this is an open space

area, its allow people to connect, communicate, and

yet to enhance the connectivity among one another,

not only between Taylorian to Taylorian, and also

who were came to visit this university.

Concept

The concept that I will use to improve the Uni plaza

square is Disneyland theme park concept. It might

sound crazy but if you can imagine that your

childhood dream appeared in front of you when you

enter your college or university. This idea is come

from most of the personality that all Taylorian consist

of, which is “crazy-passionate”, it is a personality that

made up of “crazy” and “passionate”. So, in my

opinion Disneyland theme park concept is the best

concept to describe this personality. It is kind of

fantasy, perfect, and sort of childish (can be observe

form the Taylorian.)

Idea Suggestion

1. Carousel

-The reason I will add carousel to the current

site is because when you feel stressed, you can

take a ride and release your tension, and having

fun with your peers or friends. Other than that,

carousel will be another attraction in Taylor’s

university.

- size of the carousel.

2. Small Ferris Wheel

Ferris wheel. By adding this to the plaza square,

We can enjoy the beauty of our campus with

another way. Imagine at night the view of

lakeside campus from Ferris wheel. How

fantasy is it.

- Size of the ferris wheel

- diameter 12m

- radius 6m

- 6 seats

3. Mad Tea Party

The reason of adding this is also to release the stress

of the student. To let them have a feeling of throwing

up.

- Overall size, 10m of diameter (not each cup)

Zoning

Reflection Thought out this project, I found that it’s not

an easy way to plan, construct a new

building or improvement, and before u start

to construct something, research is a must.

From every aspect, material use, height of

building, uses of building, target client, and

so on.
