INTRODUCTION
The report is aim to deliver the overall construction design concept for the MEDIUM RISE PROJECT for ADVANCE DESIGN PROJECT 2- Master of Architecture as given the lot from the Langkawi Urban Design at Kuah, the crown of the Langkawi city. The design basically for BERNAMA to cater the news network at the northern region of Peninsular Malaysia and designed within the masterplan of GROUP 3. The 3.56ac site located near the central park of the masterplan. This report will go into building concept, design development and the structural manifestation for building rigidity and the details upon the material uses along the way to suits the local climate, and the sustainable features.

OBJECTIVE
The main objective of the report is to: 1. To deliver the explaination of the design and construction matter of the project. 2. Presentation of the project details and the rationale behind the design development. 3. To understand the material and characteristic of material.

PROJECT BACKGROUND
The design intention is to trigger locals with the issue of knowledge & information at the same time idiosyncrasize with the setting of Langkawi as the world-known tourism spot in the peninsular. It aims to stimulate the sense of awareness about the media & information in shaping a knowledge based community and provoke a paradigm to digest the information about all the things revolve around the space, local and global at the same time provides opportunity to involve in enhancing the economic growth.

The images detached from every aspect of life fuse in a common stream in which the unity of this life can no longer be reestablished. Reality considered partially unfolds, in its own general unity, as a pseudo-world apart, an object of mere contemplation. Guy Debord,1967, Society of Spectacles

SITE PROFILE
Site masterplan located in the center of the Kuah commerce area that infamous with its duty-free shopping and the acreage of the site is 3.56ac which can carry plot ratio up to 1 : 6. As the site located near the coastal, precautions are needed to secure the construction integrity and the construction process need to be as feasible because the setting is in an island.

TIMELY

The Malaysian national news agency or Bernama, a statutory body, was set up by an act of parliament in 1967 and began operations in may 1968. Equipped with fully computerized operations, it provides general and economic news services and screen-based real time financial information services to subscribers in Malaysia and Singapore. Previously Bernamas news and information were only in the form of text and still photographs but with the launching of its audio-visual unit known as Bernama TV in September 1998, news is now available in the form of visuals. Bernama is continuously conducting research to upgrade the quality of its products and services which include real-time financial information, real-time news, an electronic library, dissemination of press releases, event management, photo and video footage.

WHY BERNAMA?

The primer source of information of modern media and been subscribed by many private media local & global in shaping the information digesting culture of the nation. In many parts of the world, cultural scholars have engaged in active intervention in the public debates shaping cultural policy, often working closely with governmental bodies to pursue their interests even where they did not fully agree with the other participants or totally endorse the outcomes achieved But, in an era of privatization, cultural policy is increasingly being set not by governmental bodies, but by media companies; we lose the ability to have any real influence over the directions that our culture takes if we do not find ways to engage in active dialogue with media industries. Henry Jenkins,2004, the cultural logic of media convergence

The closer to the ground you get, the more media companies look like dysfunctional families.

ISSUE
In the way making Langkawi as the main tourism spots in the south east Asia, many events held in the Mahsuri land over the cycle of a year. Most of the programmes are designed for the international involvement in the pursuit of the local economic growth. However, most of the event are lacking in term of broadcasting agent and tend to invite broadcasting bodies from other country and most likely the other events are left unbroadcasted. The line of news among nation is thin, that is unbalanced, with heavy coverage of a few highly developed country & light coverage of many less-developed ones, in some cases, it tends to ignore important events & try to distort the reality as it presents Willbur Schramm,1964,Role of information in developing countries

UNBROADCASTED

% EVENTS LEFT

THE NEED OF SOPHISTICATED INFORMATION HUB IN OTHER REGION THAN CENTRAL PENINSULAR TO MAKE CRUCIAL DATA TRAVEL FASTER ALL OVER THE COUNTRY AT THE SAME TIME CREATES NEW KIND OF NICHE IN LANGKAWI SINCE BERNAMA SUPPLY REAL-TIME BASED INFORMATION AT THE SAME TIME TRIGGERS NEW INFRASTRUCTURES OF TECHNOLOGY IN LANGKAWI.

It will respond to complaints from clients in the Klang Valley within 45 minutes and from elsewhere within two hours to resolve any technical problems in receiving our services.

CONCEPT

Unfold Senses.
Folding is not an other subjective expressionism, a promiscuity, but rather unfolds in space alongside of its functioning and its meaning in space. Peter Eisenman, Visions Unfolding : Architecture in the Age of Electronic Media, 1992
INTERVENTION INFORMATION PUBLIC

The design aim is to give priority to the public to gather as much as possible the information first hand & at the same time allowing the people to control the media with a certain acessible or interventable into the mass media itself & triggers the sense of sensitivity, responsibility, & curiosity

Reversal metaphore. The bernama logo is represented as a morse code paper tape then folded into the shape of b which replicates bernama and symbolism to the first method to represent information sharing. The unfold instead bring the meaning of openness literally to the public to share the latest real time information.

Some fear that media is out of control; others that it is too controlled. Some see a world without gatekeepers; others a world where gatekeepers have unprecedented power. They all get partial credit, given the contradictory and transitional nature of our current media system. Henry Jenkins,2004, the cultural logic of media convergence

RESEARCH & STUDY

For the formalist Eisenman, the consequences become apparent in increasingly complex forms with n-number geometries. It is thus for him that the Boolean cube is the perfect structural model depicting this condition: The Boolean cube is a complex structure which lies between purity of a platonic form and the infinite and unlimited form of non-Euclidean structure. Because the form is based on the infinite doubling and reconnection of itself it is an unstable and infinite N-geometric figure, yet frozen singularly these forms exhibit the properties of platonic forms.

PETER EINSENMAN

a computer illiterate,began to develop in 1988 a design for Carnegie Mellon University13 critiquing the omnipresent systems of knowledge such as computers, robots and other technologies. These knowledge-based systems required, according to Eisenman, a re-conceptualization of architecture.

Church 2000, Rome, 19961997. Triangulated folds entered the physical model production: Triangulation had turned into Eisenmans signature stylewhich was applied independent of any softwares operations. The virtual house (1997) will be Eisenmans first project breaking away from triangulation using differential calculus.

CASE STUDY

CCTV
Design by OMA, a monolithic structure creates a iconographic effects to the landscape of China urban city & placed next to the Tower 1 of China Central Television, also done by OMA. Facade treatment as a manifestation of structural support of its cantilivered form. Only take a small footprint, the spare site is left as an urban park for the public to take a picture & enjoy the building from the surface view.

KNN MEDIA CENTER

Korea News Network is the provider of news to the Korean nation, located at Busan, Centum City, is one of the latest media center in the world that integrate the building to the public. Besides, the public also can have a trip to the Teddy Bear Museum located at the podium. DRDS, the architect wants the porosity of public to enjoy the media within the building as a contribution between KNN and the people.

DESIGN DEVELOPMENT
Frontality.
Frontality is vis-a-vis confrontation. It describe the orientation of a work of art or architecture to the viewer. However, a head -on confrontation with architecture is attended by underlying anthropomorphic connotations, i.e when building facade becomes face, window become eye and entrance become mouth. when we come face-to-facade, we recognized & experience forntality.

STRUCTURAL CONCEPT
The structure is mainly made from the RC post & beam that consist of tower office, studio & radio department bridge, and commercial building. The grid basically is 8.4M span between grids and synchronised with the existing green map to get the building footprint.

Lift core

Vertical forces due to gravity loads creates certain part of the structure in critical condition that need to be reinforced with composite construction to transfer the load to the ground. The main frame of the building is using the reinforced concrete due to its strength up to 30 storey in compression and its durability in local setting but in order to cater the long span structure, the steel girders need to be implemented since its property is good in tensional forces.

The implementation of steel girders creates the agility in structure due to its overhang span structure and distribution of loads to the ground makes the structure much more stiffen in tensional forces.

Steel girders (composite trusses) Composite trusses beam allow the opening between top and bottom chord that can be used as the services trunk to run across the beam and the span can be between 6M to 15M. The beam joint to the RC beam trough shear plate shear connector.

46

At the ground level, the grid of the beam shapes along the building footprint to match the landscape.

47

At the 4th level, the beam line become much more critical with the void section at the office tower and the floor plan start to bridge each building with 15M span. The implementation of steel composite trusses as the supporting beam stiffen the structure. The concentration of the beam at the commercial area creates a critical point for loading distribution since it transfers into a single column towards the ground. Additional diagonal members need to be execute to stiffen the floor structure.

48

The upper level is just a simple post and beam structure with lightweight Cobiax floor to reduce the dead load of the structure, that main heading towards the core. The cantilevered beam at the edge of the slab edge need to be implemented due as the support of the curtain wall system of the facade.

49

CONNECTION FROM LIFT CORE TO FLOOR SLAB

FLOOR SLAB
The floor slab is assembled with the cobiax floor construction method to reduce the dead load of the floor structure since the building frame has several critical area. The span of the floor mostly 8.4m and the Cobiax floor can cater the span up to 9M length with minimum dead load and reduce the concrete volume along the way due to its hollow bubbles.

Floor slab detail Core section

The connection between lift core and the floor slab is butt joint but at the opening of the lift shaft for door is a opening beam that act as the rail for the lift door.

ROOF
Roofing is essential for every building especially within the tropical climate. The roofing system created with green slab to minimize the heating conduction towards the building interior from the sun rays. Instead its just merely a roof, it will become the landscape venue for the user.

51

EXTERNAL ENVELOPE
The main envelope of the building is the photovoltaic glass for harnessing the UV energy for sustainability and at the same time reduce the heat conduction into the building since the building is facing the sun for coastal view. Overall, the building has 3 type of external cladding that serve different purpose.

TYPE 1

The system only unitized with the Low-E glass with the anodized aluminium frame to resist the heat from UV ray. The system is assemble through stick system for each panel.

TYPE 2

Each panel equipped with the perforated aluminium sheet to strengthen the defense from the penetration of UV and for the image of the client pattern derived from the logo details.

TYPE 1

The media facade use to deliver the digital mass media to the public by the LED string system. The advantage of this system is the view from interior not obstructed with the typical media facades. The string anchored to the aluminium frame itself.
