The Cyclist Hub enhances the permeability and connectivity in Lebuh Chulia to backlane for cyclist and pedestrian to promote safe shared street. Multiple courtyards act as markers in Cyclist Hub and blur the boundary between internal and external spaces. Climbing plant is introduced to soften the rough-textured structure, bluring the boundary between softscape and hardscape.

BLURRINGTHEBOUNDARY

PENANG CYCLIST HUB

Inspired by 5-foot walkway, the Cyclist Hub is designed to blur internal & external space. Each space and function are defined by character of its natural light. For example, bright space is dedicated to public space, dark space is used as residential area for more privacy and shaded space is used as semi-public space for multiple functions. Furthermore, curved walls are introduced to enhance cycling experience in the building and cast soft, non-edgy shadow.

Proposed mass is placed further away from Hainan Association building to address its importance in culture.

The mass is broken down to create a smaller scale building as compared to Hainan Association. Public walkway is formed to connect and revital-ise Line Clear backlane. Public spaces are placed facing Lebuh Chulia.

Residential spaces are placed at rear part of the hub and higher level where privacy can be preserved and vehicular traffic noise from streets is low.

Courtyard typology increases green areas. Courtyards act as magnet to draw community and public into cyclist hub. Curved walls promote smoother cycling movement.

ARCH + SHADE DOG SHELTERARCHITECTURAL DESIGN PROJECT

Arch+Shade Dog Shelter: This real project in Pontian, Johor is collabo-rated with Homeless & Orphan Pets Exist (H.O.P.E) to end euthani-zation in millions of animals. The entire project is made up of simple details to make it possible to realize this project with untrained workforce.

The shelter is an architectural approach that is used to explore the order of geometrically-balanced space. The purpose of the geometrically-balanced space is to counterpoise the chaos-miserable life of homeless pets.

The proposed site is located in an urban environ-ment of Kuala Lumpur. A concept of heat barrier, buffer zones and core is developed. By incorperating greenery into the heat barrier, heat again on the building envelope can be reduced and it also provides pleasant indoor environmental quality. While, the core which locates the family spaces is protected by heat barrier and buffer zones to achieve thermal comfort.The dwelling houses 2 families to reduce financial burden in urban life and promote sense of community. The design of Zone.Zone House focuses on passive solar design and self-sustaining ability.
