CLIMATE
Average Land Temperature: 27°C
Average Sea Temperature : 29.5°C
Average Sand Temperature : 25°C
Average Humidity : 80%
5 principles to understand the wind direction and speed:•Velocity•Direction•Pressure•Convection (density & temperature)•Venturi effect
Convection diagram:As shown in the diagram, air (wind) flows from the forested area on the hill site to a meadow will tend to rise. It is due to air in the meadow is exposed to more solar radiation, hence making the air less warmer and dense.
Penang is hilly area therefore it has regional variation in weather. Dry Season : December to March Wet Season : April to November
Wind DirectionMay to September : from southeast, below 15 knots. November to March : from the northeast, around 10-20 knots.
Monsoon Seasons in PenangApril to May September to October.
Average Rainfall is 240-400mm. During this period, no outdoor activity is allowed.
*What is monsoon? It refers to the rainy phase of a seasonal changing pattern due to the reversing wind accompanied by corresponding changes in precipitation.

oak TREE
“RU” Trees (Oak Trees)
Oak Tree- Has taproots root type, which grows deep
underground, seeking a dependable supply of moisture.
- Traps and holds the soil in position, preventing mudslide or soil erosion of the beach.
- Provides shades for human activities below the tree.- Suitable for rough house construction.

POINTS OF INTEREST
YELLOW - RANGER WATCH TOWERHas a 360⁰ view of the campsite and the jungle.
The empty land aids in the view of the ranger, ensuring the protection of the campers.
RED - COASTAL GUARD TOWERThe position along the beach ensures a clear
view of the jetty, shelter and the turtle breeding ground, of these are the responsibilities of the
coastal guard.In case of emergency, it creates easier access to the shelter, jetty and the turtle breeding ground
as well as the lake.

SHELTER
RESTING AREA (THE HALL)•It is built with an open space with no walls around it to show the scenery and activities that take place.•For a large group of one-day trip visitors.•A good place to have group activities.•Easy to get on and off the beach.•Why is it located there?
• The Northeast area of the beach has lower altitude so when high tide, sea water will cover the entire beach• The Southwest is prohibited to have any human activities as it is the breeding ground for the turtles.
The Hall Shelter
SIZE OF BUILDINGS ACCORDING TO HUMAN SCALE
CAMP SITE• Public area, no walls, no tall structures, experiencing the sense of nature.• Located near the jetty as these two points are actually the path of the main traffic.• It allows people to get on and off the beach.• Located away from the lake to reduce the air humidity as well as mosquitoes and other bugs.• A big flat ground covered with soil for people to do such activities.
Kitchen Table and Chair
SIZE OF BUILDINGS ACCORDING TO HUMAN SCALE
WHY IS IT BUILT LIKE THIS?
• It is built with an open space with no walls around it to show the scenery and activities that take place.
Example: -Sound of the wave and the leaves waving just like they are whispering in the forest. -Activities that take place around such as animals roaming around the area, tourist having picnic, birds viewing and many more. -Feel the space that the nature can provide. -Some of the place along the beach area has a different altitude compared to the normal ground level.
WHAT KIND OF COLORS AND MATERIALS DID THEY USED?
• The materials used in this area are cheap and easy to attain.
• The colors used are mainly to suit the surroundings such as the color of the soil and wood (brown).
The material they used would mostly be found in the forest around it.Example: - Timber, ropes and some steel and concrete for reinforcement.In order for the animals to not see it as an alien object , the materials are all nearly made to be of the same texture (wood texture).
WOOD AND CEMENT AS THE BASE
CONCRETE AND STEEL STRUCTURE
WOOD IS WRAPPED WITH ROPE FOR RESISTANT AND
REINFORCEMENT
STRUCTURE OF THE BUILDING
Questions that should be asked before designing:-Example:-
- What harm will they cause towards the environment?- Will the animals feel threatened?- What will the visitors think of the structure?
The joints between each section is carefully calculated and measured so that it will last longer and can withstand everything the nature is able to throw at.Example: - Monsoon season, drought, high salt content, soft earth foundation.
The building style also allows natural sunlight and wind to penetrate the inner side of the building. Besides, the materials used have been reduced due to the simple columns and roof structure.

TRAIL
Stairway trails are another way to ascend higher slopes. The stairs are constructed by making cuts in the dirt, concrete and manufactured wood.
One example is the nature trails, which is used by people learning about the natural world. Many trails are designated day trails, meaning that they are generally used by people out for a short hike, less than a day. Some trails are designated backpacking trails, or long-distance trails, and are used by both day hikers and backpackers.
Concrete paving has also been used for what it offers in night- time visibility, environmental friendliness, and low maintenance.
Under high flow conditions, water runs over the roadway. The slot drain covers is constructed as one of the walkway.
SIGNAGE
The main purpose of a sign is to communicate, to convey information such that its receiver can make cognitive decisions based on the information provided. In general, signs can be classified into the following functions:
(a)Information: signs giving information about services and facilities, e.g., maps, directories, instructions for use, etc.
(b) Direction: signs leading to services, facilities, functional spaces and key areas, e.g., sign posts, directional arrows, etc.
(c) Safety and Regulatory :signs giving warning or safety instructions, e.g., warning signs, traffic signs, rules & regulations, etc.
SAFETY
Major advantages of trail lighting includes: prevention of accidents and increase in safety.
There is some three-strand twisted natural fibre rope along the steep trail, which is designed to stretch under load in an elastic manner in order to absorb the energy required to arrest a person in free fall without generating forces high enough to injure them.
WATER
There is an elevated water tank beside the camp site. The water tank provides storage of water for drinking, fire suppression, food preparation as well as many other applications.
