Mohd Yazid Mohd Yunos & Noorizan Mohamed
 

The course has two objectives. Firstly, to solve design problems at medium -scaled sites through the application
of proper site planning and design process. Secondly, to solve complex site planning problems focusing at institutional areas, public parks or resorts. A site visit was carried out at the Sri Serdang where the students visited the site and produced inventory and analysis plans as a group effort, followed by the synthesis plan, idea and conceptual plan. A Master Plan was proposed in groups and later detailed area plans for selected area were designed by individual students. Serdang: Leading Green and Biomass City.

DESIGN SOLUTION
Two artefacts were selected as case studies under this topic.


a. City of Sustainable Rendezvous

The design emphasises of evoking and culturing the pervading spirit of the place ‘The Spirit of Green Sustainable City’. The concept of ‘City of Sustainable Rendezvous’ puts emphasis on the union of Serdang with its local cultures, community and socialised it within the nature conservation.


b. Livable Serdang Green Town
The design ingeniously plays with flux of movements and interconnect Tasik Sri Serdang to others places. The
concept of ‘Green Connection Network’ reveals the quality of human life through sustainable landscape design. The design emphasizes a linkage to the UPM’s entrance gate and the UPM’s Bird Sanctuary.
