SWOT ANALYSIS
ACTIVITIES AND PROGRAMMES ARTS AND CRAFT

Based on the visitation of tourist, i feel that the tourist are

very passive with their participant. Introducing activities
such as arts and craft will push the users to become more
active with participants. Moreover, they can learn the
traditional way of crafting hand on. Arts and crafts lessons
such as wayang kulit, wau, batik,basket making, wood
carving and chinese sewing can be organised
ACTIVITIES AND PROGRAMMES CAFETERIA AND KIOSK FACILITY

Cafeteria and kiosk facility are proposed to the building. Cafeteria serving local
delicacies can attract many tourist to the building. Furthermore, a souvenir shop selling
products of the arts and crafts class can help with the income management of the
building. Kiosk selling daily necessities can make walking-by pedestrians stop by and
experience the building.
ACTIVITIES AND PROGRAMMES BOAT TERMINAL

With the current situation whereby the river is being cleaned, i propose a public boat transport while making stops along the
river. Many attractive stops can be placed on the waterfront of tourist spots. This can ease the traffic congestion of the road
while at the same time allow users to experience our traditional river transportation. Other activities such as fishing, bbq,sight
viewing, boardwalk,jogging and cycling can be done there.
ACTIVITIES AND PROGRAMMES PUBLIC PARK

Public park is proposed outside the building to create an effective public space which attracts people from all the
different nodes. Since greeneries are lacking in the site, planting of various trees and flowers are planted to enhance
the appearance of the site. Here multiple activities such as cycling, playing frisbee, roller skating, picnic and playing in
the water fountain are found. It is to strengthen the bonds of users.
PRECEDENT STUDIES
El Tranque Cultural Center
Architect : BiS Arquitectos
Location : Andes, South America
Maximize the public character of the building, where integration
between the inhabitant and the cultural actor can take place
Inner public place where cultural activity can be given free
and daily, where, while some perform there, others witness
it, and in turn, while they are spectators, indirectly
participate in cultural activity.
Two opposing volumes: on the one hand, a Zocalo volume,
made of stone, strong and rooted to the soil and its
traditions, which invites the visitor and hosting him/her. On
the other hand, a suspended volume, contemporary,
ethereal, configuring and delimiting with its shade the void
or central square and conforms the urban facade of the
building.
The project opens onto the street and towards the neighboring square,
Under the suspended volume it is the public square
fostering the idea of a public place, while the suspended volume is Over the zocalo volume there is a green cover that, besides
for public activities
suspended in a series of pillars, symbolizing inhabitants, users and being the yard of the training workshops, it allows the hillside
public of the building, understanding that without them, this building to enter the project, increasing building’s feeling of amplitude.
would have no sustenance.
Himalayan Culture and Religion Research Center
Architect : CSWADI, ZAD
Location : Sichuan University, China

The Research center consists of three different

parts which are museum, research center and
affiliated building.
 create rich spaces to integrate the exhibition and tour
-Interpreting courtyards as elements
The design is intended to combine two independent volumes of
museum and research center. Two L-shaped volumes are combined
with each extended wall

Each courtyard stands out with unique spatial features and landscape
theme which will penetrate into the interior architectural space in order
to create a sense of infinite within limited square meters.
Connecting old with new
- using traditional slope roof based on the modern interpretation.
- brings traditional design with modern architecture to symbolize the
heritage and tradition of the site
Attaining the meaning
-Material selection for the Himalayan museum and research
center are guided by color and texture to maintain the simple
sense in the traditional residences of Sichuan
-The main form of the museum are both solemn and sedate,
and the facade design is more inclined to the composition of
traditional residential buildings’ street elevation.
 VISUAL IMPACT CONNECTIVITY

- void side courtyard make all space a whole Interesting design of facade encourages viewers The bridge connecting research center and exhibition hall
- relaxed and lively feeling to observe the characteristics unique to each provides not only convenient contact but also offers a place
. floor for leisure and overlooking the courtyard.
