Degree year 3 sem 3 Project 1 (Jan. 2021 - Apr. 2021)
Site Analysis Group Member: RAR 3 @ 2021 (📎)
A group site analysis (with urban intervention) on the chosen site in Bangsar has been conducted virtually, including interviews with selected stakeholders. A basic feasibility study on the proposed programme further strengthens the individual proposal, which is PAM Learning Hub.
Introduction
Bangsar is a unique location for the final design project, located close to the bustling heart of Bangsar yet accessible to the older, residential parcels of Bangsar with its strong-knit communities. It is also home to various commercial, industrial and public facilities, contributing to a quiet but strong creative energy. This first project requires exploring and learning more about its history, communities, and potential found in this site, which encourages PAM Learning Hub design search possibilities.
The site is near to the current PAM Centre, easily accessible by public transport via the Bangsar or Abdullah Hukum LRT Stations. It is currently occupied by the multipurpose hub repurposed from a defunct printing factory. As part of the site analysis, it includes an analysis and summary of the issues related to the PAM Centre and the site contexts, history and future planning through interviews and literature reviews.

Lot 294, Bangsar - proposed site
Located in the suburb of Bangsar, Kuala Lumpur, Lot 294 is a plot of lad situated in Bangsar that was currently occupied by APW Bangsar, a creative space for the community. The land plot had a total area of 6033.375 sqm while after setback, the proposed land had a 4748.985 sqm buildable area. According to the local authority-DBKL, the proposed site was given a plot ratio of 1:4 which approximately 18995.925 sqm were built on this lot.
Lot 294 was located right beside Balai Berita, NSTP, and Pertubuhan Akitek Malaysia (PAM) Centre, while a TNB substation is located next to the proposed site.

Plenty of green patches were found surrounding the proposed site, while lots of greeneries were available around the proposed site as well.
