Abstract

The rapid development growth of Kuala Lumpur has resulted in the lost of comfortable open green spaces at the pedestrian level that serves as connecting points between the residents and public in a high density urban development. Saiful Azam proposed arranging blocks of open spaces that were slotted vertically to replace the lost open spaces in a mixed high-rise development. The interlocking rectangular boxes create open spaces that act as a comfortable environmental and social space to work, live and play and also unite the whole building form. A new definition of sustainable living created in this project challenges the conventional urban open spaces and the living lifestyle in this millennium.
