Batu 12 Orang Asli

Community Center This is a performing arts center that serves the local

community. This performing arts center focuses on

dance as its major activity which comprises of

traditional orang asli dance, contemporary dance

and the orang asli spiritual dance.

The concept of this design is "dynamism" which is

derived from the "energy" during a dance itself.

Dynamism is translated in this design through the

changes of space from major-minor-major-minor-

major. The changes of heights between the 3 main

buildings and the 2 minor spaces also creates

dynamism. Furthermore, the "hanging studios"

enhances the experience of dynamism.

The outdoor spiritual dance area and the

traditional dance studio is aligned in a horizontal

axis connected by a grand staircase, while the 3

main buildings (contemporary dance studio,

traditional dance studio, service and lounge

building) are aligned in another vertical axis

connected by a large airy veranda. The two side

buildings with a modern twist of design complies

the middle building which is the traditional dance

building.

Contemporary dance studio I have chosen to do my building

modification at the contemporary

dance studio as this studio has an

interesting design of roof-wall structure.

The design modification has been done

as such:

1. Wall :

Before - Concrete wall

After - Curtain wall

2. Floor :

Before - Concrete floor

After - Composite metal decking floor,

with a raised hardwood dance floor on

top of concrete slab.

3. Roof :

Before - Concrete roof

After - Profiled metal sheet roof

supported by steel trusses creating a 7°

pitched roof.

4. Basement :

Before - No basement

After - Added a storage basement

1. Curtain wall Stick system with extruded-aluminum

mullions and low-E coated insulating

glass units.

A curtain wall system is an outer covering

of a building in which the outer walls are

non-structural, but merely keep the

weather out and the occupants in.

Supplier : Fujisash (M) Sdn Bhd

Material : Low E glass

Properties : a type of insulating glass,

increases energy efficiency of windows by

reducing the transfer of heat or cold

through glass, environmental friendly.

Standard size of glass : 8-12mm

Material :

Properties : Good resistance to

weathering, Long lasting and warranty

given by the manufacture.

Standard size of aluminum:

184.2mm x 76.2mm (7 ¼ “ x 3”)

Advantages - allows filtration of natural light into the building

- prevents air and moisture from entering into the structure

- act as a fire stop,

preventing the spread of fire from floor to floor

- Easy and fast construction

Disadvantages - need for regular maintenance

- costly and time consuming for the

installation of curtain walls

Material suitability :

Stick system curtain wall is suitable to be

installed in the site. This system allows natural

day light into the building which makes the

building energy efficient by reducing the

usage of artificial light at daytime.

Advantages & disadvantages :

2. Profiled metal sheet roof

supported by steel trusses. A truss is a structure comprising five or

more triangular units constructed with

straight members whose ends are

connected at joints referred to as nodes.

Steel trusses are used because of the

ease of construction and connection to

the metal sheet finishes.

Supplier : Kemuning Structures SDN BHD

Material : Zinc alloy coated steel truss

(Zincalume)

Properties : Durable, High strength, zinc

alloy prevent corrosion

Material : Profiled metal sheet

Properties : more durable than the

corrugated tin and corrugated iron roofs,

very versatile to be shaped, lightweight.

Advantages - A durable and long lasting roof structure

- Simple fastening/

installation method allows

- minimum manpower and rapid installation time frame

- No welding works which leads to minimum wastage, creating a neater environment

Disadvantages - Need to be treated to prevent corrosion

- Low thermal mass

Material suitability :

Steel truss structure with profiled metal

sheet finish is suitable for this building as

the trusses design can be arranged to

achieve the design of the building has a

7degree pitched roof and wall.

Advantages & disadvantages :

Profiled metal sheet

Zinc alloy coated steel truss

3. Composite metal decking

floor with raised sprung

hardwood floor A composite metal decking floor is

designed in bending as either a series of

simply supported spans or a continuous

slab. Strength in fire is ensured by the

inclusion of mesh (sometimes called fabric)

or fibre reinforcement.

A sprung floor is a floor that absorbs shocks,

giving it a softer feel. Such floors are

considered the best available

for dance and indoor sports.

Supplier : Duro Metal Industrial (M) SDN BHD

Material : Durodeck metal floor decking

with composite concrete

Standard lengths : 2m, 3m and 4m

Standard thickness : 0.8mm, 1.0mm, 1.2mm

Material : Sprung hardwood floor

Properties : Hardness and Durability, elegant

appearance, finishes can be easily repaired

or reapplied.

Composite metal deck slab

Raised sprung floor

Advantages - Rapid speed of construction

- Reduces steelwork frame weight

- Decking acts as permanent shuttering

- Easily installed with

minimal wastage - Reduced foundation

costs due to reduced loading

- long shelf life. - They are hard and

are less prone to damage when compared to engineered and laminated floors

- absorb the energy of falls and reduce injuries

Disadvantages - Additional subcontractor needed for shear connector installation thus increasing field costs

- hardwood floors require regular polishing every 3-4 years to maintain its finish

Material suitability :

Composite metal deck slab is suitable for this building due to its

ease of construction. Raised hardwood sprung floor is then

placed on top as to accommodate the use of a dance studio.

Sprung floor is suitable to be used as a dance floor as it absorb

the energy of falls and reduce injuries.

ROOF PRECEDENT STUDY:

SPRINGTECTURE B In this structure, planar Renzokutai spirals

forward to form the roof, walls, and floor,

realising a “springtecture” of linked

discontinuities. “Springtecture Harima”

moves forwards by describing arcs; in

contrast, this structure is designed repeating

the fusion of arc and straight line. The result is

an effective planar space with expanded

architecture. The branching spaces share

their edge elements (interior/exterior,

front/back) in a productive chain moving

discontinuously from exterior to interior and

back to exterior in this realization of an

architecture of partially shared elements or

Bunyutai.

FLOOR AND WALL PRECEDENT STUDY:

THE NEW 42ND STREET STUDIOS This building was built as part of a major

redevelopment plan to transform the block

through the revitalization of existing theaters and

an infusion of new commercial and arts-related

initiatives. The public face of the building is the

south façade, where the curtain wall is conceived

as a multilayers and multi-functional system of

enclosure. Cantilevered floor slabs support a

continuous glass-and-aluminium curtain wall,

providing a floor to ceiling glass envelope at each

level.

Construction of basement Waterproofing system placed around the outsides of the basement Structural steel I beam as the support of concrete flooring over the basement

Steel pan sheets are placed over the structural steel beams to support the concrete flooring over the basement. Connecting shear studs protrude through the steel pan sheets along the beam lines to tie the concrete and steel together.

Dense high quality reinforced/ pre-stressed concrete is used to form a watertight concrete basement with the conditions of site construction.
