computer architecture IN CONTEXTChapter 1 Introduction002.jpg alt=424469 / gauge 1a urban convention of Kuala Lumpur urban centerUrban design shows both the functional and aesthetic facets of the urban centers built environment. Urban design ( Figure 1a ) , genuine harmonizing to insurance policy model and guidelines, creates a desirable conduct environment every splintering good as giving a metropolis an appropriate count on and indivithreefoldity. Like or so metropoliss in the underdeveloped universe, Kuala Lumpur has grown quickly and changed a messiness from 1960s until now. Kuala Lumpur becomes peerless of the strongest Asiatic metropoliss in universe scotch dodge during 21Thursdaycentury. The alterations argon non merely in footings of edifice building and in like manner the growe of the citys horizon.Figure 1b Location of Kampung BaruSome of tower block edifices appear bit by bit in the metropolis and play vertically from the skyline of metropolis. However, i n Kampung Baru unpolished ( Figure 1b ) , it creates a most contrast phenomenon which is high improvement edifices and antiquated houses appear together in the gold trigon of the metropolis. spicy-rise edifice prototype of modern, high engineer and comfortable edifice while old houses conjure orbits of old, conservative and disintegrating houses. High rise edifice has its mercantile evaluate and makes a part to the economical system of our state however old houses contain its historical value and stand for the beginning typicals of metropolis development.There are some contradiction in terms and struggle against to do think of pulverizing the old houses in the metropolis to do manner for much future development.The aim of composing this essay is to ginmill and analyze the skyline of KL country and the urban developed schemes from the past until presents. in like manner that, to look into and understand the cultural contexts, societal and faith which influence a batch t o the people who lives in that country are also part of the aims. Identify the demands, perceptual experiences and values of specific cultural communities make a clear apprehension of the architecture issue.Chapter 2 accounting BACKGROUNDChapter 2.1 annals background of the alterations of KL citys developmentFigure 2.1 Natural characteristic of KL in 1960Figure 2.2 The development of KL in 80sKuala Lumpur was established in 1857 and the KLs skyline has changed over the old ages. In approximately 1960, Kuala Lumpur was a simply immature piece of land ( Figure 2.1 ) with a few of edifices. Towards 80s ( Figure 2.2 ) , it was the period when the Malayanan economic system truly brocaded up upon. The citys skyline started to alter quickly until the net of 90s. Harmonizing to the information, this period was Malayan economic system grew more than 8 % per twelvemonth for more than a decennary.Figure 2.3 Significant development of KL in 1991Figure 2.4 Skyline of KL in presentsThe 19 90 was a neverthelesstful decennary to the state cod to the economic system raze bend in the twelvemonth 1997. not merely did Malaysia manage to prolong unbelievable growing, the otherwise state did besides travel into the Great Financial Crisis. This fiscal crisis caused most of Malaysias important developments ( Figure 2.3 ) were made. There are many building undertakings that are world built include the building of the KL Tower and the Petronas Towers. The development of Kuala Lumpur was easy macrocosm expanded from the get downing twelvemonth of 2000. In a short-change period, the skyline of Kuala Lumpur ( Figure 2.4 ) has grown a batch in fellowship to provide the demand of population presents.This resulted in the come outgrowth of big expertness of high rise edifices in the metropolis. Not merely it brings an economic system takings to our state, and besides received a batch of investing from outside(prenominal) state. It boosts up a batch of concern and employme nt receive around the metropolis.Chapter 2.2 History background of Kampung Baru countryFigure 2.5 Kampung Baru country at the pap of metropolisEven so, there is a parcel of handed-down houses country turns up meanwhile at the bosom of metropolis ( Figure2.5 ) . The being of handed-down houses which called Kampung Baru creates a strong contrast between modern architecture edifices and traditional houses. Kampung Baru has been established since 1899 by the British regimen under the name of Malay Agricultural Settlement ( M.A.S ) as a particular country dumb specifically for the Malays in Kuala Lumpur. It has 35,000 populations and an country mensurating 153.35 kilometer2.Figure 2.6 Traditional Malay houses of Kampung BaruThe Kampung Baru is characterized by comparative tranquility and neat layout of traditional Malay houses ( Figure 2.6 ) , has relatively been retarded in its development with hapless roads and sanitation even though the remainder of metropolitan of Kuala Lumpu r is basking a roar in economic growing and prosperity. Up to the 1930s, Kampung Baru was strictly a residential small townspeople colony with houses built of wood and supported by pile, with a unforesightfulr gallery, large life room ( normally with no more than tether sleeping rooms ) surrounded by garden harvests ( such as chili, banana, tapioca ) and widespread raising of domestic fowl. In this urban small town merely north of the metropolis amount of money the houses are largely one or two floors.Kampung Baru was ab initio a residential colony in Kuala Lumpur for Malay lower income group. 1 In the 1970s, there was a poor group of Kampung Baru people who earned RM1000 per month and occupied higher beat in the public and private sectors. The state of affairs has rightfully such(prenominal) changed in the 1990s in which the socio-economic position of the dwellers of Kampung Baru had increased. There was rather a important figure of Malay in-between family, such as ente rprisers, professionals and executives, who lived in the colony. This can be proven through the building of new extravagance residential houses such as cot ticketes and modern flat beside the old traditional Malay hosieries. Thus it can be said that Kampung Baru is a topographical point where tradition and modernness meet.Kampung Baru located in the Centre of metropolis and the belongings valued at around Rm2000 per square pess. This favorable geographical location attracts a batch of investors and developers intend to develop it and do a better proviso. Nevertheless, the devastation of the traditional Malay houses has created contention.Chapter 2.3Research method of gazeThe nature of this survey makes it suited for me to use site visit, observation, appraising and vicarious analysis as my research methodological analysiss. Site visit in survey involves detecting, look intoing, comparing and analyzing. at any rate that, research worker makes a questionnaire study signifier fo r public to acquire cognize about their thinking of Kampung Baru. It is indispensable for research worker to understand deeply of about the chance development of Kampung Baru. In order to make so, historical informations pass been assembled by library and internet research. This research to be done is to turn out my study composing in line with strong grounds.Chapter 3 synopsisChapter 3.1 Percepts of occupant to the renovation of Kampung BaruFigure 3.1 Malay-Muslim civilizationDespite being disputed, Kampung Baru is the decease fastness against tower block development in the Kuala Lumpur metropolis. The occupants, born and bred in Kampung Baru from coevals to coevals, are chiefly consisted of Malay. Most of them have no suggest of go forthing Kampung Baru. The nucleus ground is for the inveterate have sex for the community specifically refering on the decided Malay-Muslim civilization ( Figure 3.1 ) and its colorful history. For illustration, some of the precedential still r ecalled their functions in WWII and cherished childhood memories that wanted to prize. They will commence these histories to their kids and grandchildren.Other than that, there is another state of affairs caused Kampung Baru cant be developed. If the certain Kampung Baru landholders have died, his land rubrics will be shared by tonss of relations. Therefore, it can be more than 100 people portion the rights to some secret plans of land sometimes. This status becomes a strong opponent to the sort of renovation the authorities has in head. The authorities and the developers have been boniface meetings and treatment with local landholders about the development programs of Kampung Baru for more than twenty old ages, nevertheless, none of which has proved feasible.With no execution and development, the physical constructions of Kampung Baru are waterlogged and degraded. The unplanned betterment caused resident bit by bit eliminated from their original small town and were replaced by transient and homesteaders. In malice of the fadeout of Kampung Baru, there are still have many people still exhaustively its realizable commercial value and concern market. In this aureate country with environing high rise edifice, it wholly shows an iconic individuality and image of capital metropolis of Malaysia. Suppose that Kampung Baru transformed into a modern and mature country, it will heighten the consistent of betterment of Kuala Lumpur towards as a developed metropolis. The modern design, construction and stuff of high rise edifices give an come to of the ocular to stand for an image of the metropolis.Chapter 3.2 Advan dockes and disadvan stigmatisees one time Kampung Baru to be redevelopedResidents of Kampung Baru have to consider of the advantages and disadvantages one time Kampung Baru to be redeveloped. One of the important effectuate of the alterations to Kampung Baru is maximize the value of land. In term of merely being dual floor houses, it can be develo ped vertically. For case, high rise commercial edifices, office, five star hotel or flat. Not merely cut down the land function, and besides fulfil the demands of big population in the metropolis. Besides that, concern market besides have a batch of possible among this commercial country. The people who live in this country have a high degree of ingestion and quality of life. They would pass a batch for epicurean disbursals.In add-on, while working the bigger commercial market, it besides increases the employment chance every bit good. It helps to work out the stemma of extra unemployment which happened in our state. Ample employee can heighten the productiveness expeditiously. Furthermore, owing to this country is tourist attractive force, so that it brings economic system consequence to the metropolis.Figure 3.2 Alone character of traditional housesOn the contrary, go on Kampung Baru has its unmeasurable bing value. It is difficult to conceive of that an country with such a ri ch inheritance and alone character ( Figure 3.2 ) if razed to the land. Many of the traditional houses of Kampung Baru are dated back to the early 1900s. The peculiar and original features cant be replaced by any unreal engineering presents. If Kampung Baru is turned into a concrete jungle, it will lose all its attractive force as a Centre for Malay heritage.Furthermore, the cultural component in Kampung Baru has influenced, straightaway or indirectly, among the community. They hold profound feelings toward their civilization and relationship with vicinity. Woman love to portion their delightful dishes with their neighbors while kids chum uping around the kampung. This sort of fantasy dramas as an of import function in the development of Kampung Baru. There is no uncertainty that the people of Kampung Baru want development, but at the same press cutting the individuality of Kampung Baru as a Malay community must be maintained.Chapter 3.3 Comparison with the Singapore urban planni ngFigure 3.3 Singapore urban planningBy detecting and look intoing Singapore urban planning ( Figure 3.3 ) , they wholly did a good occupation in this little state. Singapore originally is merely a little and lag bum state. After the World War II, Centre of Singapore faced really terrible urban troubles which are overcrowding, lodging deficit and insanitary life conditions. It caused a batch of unemployment job, infective disease and societal offense. In 1958s, the authorities comes out with a construct program 2 that makes full usage of land by reapportioning the countries severally. In the beginning of urban development, it appears two distinguishable countries which are greenwaies and new town country. First measure is to construct more public lodging in new town country. The decentralised policy leads the population and industry in the metropolis Centre displacement to other topographic point. It creates a balance and mean distribution of population and resolved the lacking of lodging jobs.In the cardinal country, a big addition of stores, office, shopping Centre and epicurean flat occurred. Thoroughly downtown metropolis revived bit by bit, Singapore becomes an international finance, commercial centre and touristry attractive force. It speeds up the economic system growing of Singapore. The authorities of Singapore plans their scheme, from construct, counsel, urban planning to commanding, measure by measure implements it. The carriage of listening to the demands of occupant is the cardinal rule to be succeeded.Chapter 4 finaleIn decision, Kuala Lumpur as a developing metropolis was improved a batch along the times. Even though Kuala Lumpur is still missing john in footings of skyline quality compared to bigger metropoliss like Hong Kong, New York, imprint or Chicago, but it provides an iconic for its multi-cultural architecture found in traditional and modern edifices in the metropolis. Located within the bosom of aggressive metropolis of Kuala Lu mpur, Kampung Baru has struggled to maintain up with monolithic urban development while continuing its traditional heritage. The singularity of this country could non be replaced by any types of trading. The thought process of destruction the traditional Malay houses should be taken off. Old structures bring on its historical border and do a contrast with high rise edifice to show the betterment every bit good as development of engineering presents. Attempt to hold a better urban planning and direction in Malaysia, authorities should do an in-depth survey on the scheme of urban planning in Singapore.MentionsWebsitehypertext depute communications communications protocol //vincentloy.wordpress.com/tag/city/hypertext rapture protocol //www.thestar.com.my/story.aspx/ ? file= % 2F2012 % 2F4 % 2F16 % 2Fcentral % 2F11111102hypertext transfer protocol //www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php? t=167496hypertext transfer protocol //www.dbkl.gov.my/pskl2020/english/urban_design_and_landsca pe/index.htmhypertext transfer protocol //time2transcend.wordpress.com/tag/kampung-baru/hypertext transfer protocol //www.theedgemalaysia.com/commentary/167862-my-say-kampung-baru-redevelopment-lets-go-for-it.htmlhypertext transfer protocol //tendtotravel.com/2012/03/kuala-lumpurs-skyline-1960s/hypertext transfer protocol //travel.cnn.com/explorations/ pretermit/kampung-baru-131599hypertext transfer protocol //infopedia.nl.sg/articles/SIP_1564_2009-09-08.htmlhypertext transfer protocol //lib.iium.edu.my/mom2/cm/content/ great deal/view.jsp? key=mrB8mYjSDrUDQUS5Lamnms8K3SJ42lFB20100225154009406E-journalhypertext transfer protocol //e-journal.um.edu.my/filebank/published_article/3295/Vol % 209-4.pdfhypertext transfer protocol //repo.uum.edu.my/3179/1/S15.pdfBooksDale, O.
