IntroductionI have decided to develop a recreational area on the designated land, 2601 square meter downgraded site along Jalan Yap Kwan Seng, KLCC, 50450, Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan. I plan to build a mini theme park because its surrounded by significant landmarks from the commercial area, educational area and tourism area. The diversity of people in the centre of the city makes the landscape design to be embraced, appreciated, formulated and publicised in a harmonization of old-culture patterns a new make-up for the modernization and globalization of the world. Nowadays, people in the bustling city should came across an extraordinary atmosphere that increase the productivity of revolutionized world by means of cultural diversity. People need to have confidence about the history of cultural formation which brought forward the cultural differences into the global mechanism that changes the world. The communication of this concept starts from the mini theme park that concerns on the blend-culture of a multi-racial country.Objective of the Construction To entertain the nearby employee with new approach of coping the growth of multi-culture in the working field. To nurture the morals of respect towards the cultural art among young art generations. To raise awareness of the importance of culture harmonization among professionals in the working field. To increase public interests on using national art culture as an implementation on communication, risk and global management, and professional training.
Conceptual StudiesThe mini them park reflect the culture and tradition of Malaysian culture.As it located near the national institutions, the park symbolize the culture preferences and nationality of Malaysia.As it situated near the worldwide education centres, international institutions and hotels, the park promote the distinctiveness of national identity to the international hospitality and tourism in Malaysia.

Concept and Ideas Sketches
Sketch Plan of ProposalSketch Plan of Proposal
RationaleAccording to my research and experience living in Malaysia, I aware that in the working field, there are a great deal of graduates who are compassionate about the national art culture or with high spirit of patriotism nurtured by schools. The spirit of this group of people diminishes along with the era of politics and cultures in the working field. The mini theme park could stimulated the thoughts and awareness on these people to take the importance of preserving their own interests towards the uniqueness of national culture. BenefitsThe green landscape of the city is mostly covered with greeneries and the diversity of nature. To create a new generations park, I used the essence of culture harmonization to initiate the new trend in teenagers. They will be attracted to share with, inspire and impress the unconcerned groups. This bring forth the modernization in the way that can bring harmony, and enlightening and effective changes to the world that perishing in each second. I also use this culture in teenagers to tackle the outdated thoughts among adults, as to create new potential to adjust themselves to the new trend of culture in everyday life of the world. ImpactsThe building of this mini theme park creates a networking rest place that can diffuses the tension, conflicts and anguishes in employees caused by the hectic environment of the working field. This leisure networking brings different way of living to the surrounding areas, as it increases the prospective of divergent thinking among the professionals.

INTRODUCTION
In this final project, we are given a task to find a specific empty land with a maximum size of 3500m2 to initiate a small construction project on it in a group of two people. For our group, we came out with an outcome to use the empty land located along Jalan Yap Kwan Seng.
After surveying, I found that there is no any other place nearer provided for the public to exercise in this area and are forced to take different means of transportation to travel to another places. Thus, I decided to propose a fitness centre on this empty land, which accommodate with commercial block to provide public to enjoy exercising under a complete equipped environment.The land is a waste of space as it was originally a parking area because public seldom use it. Hence, it is good to have a fitness centre and commercial block to put this empty land in a good use.This fitness centre is a one stop place for people that are into sports and fitness. The Fitness Centre is a health, recreational, and social facility geared towards exercise, sports, and other physical activities. This is where people can work out and relax and also they can find all types of sports accessories and facilities. This commercial block is a building consists of grocery shops and convenience store. This is much easier and convenience for people to get the needed stuff quickly.
Objective of construction To put the empty land in a good use To provide a recreation and leisure venue To provide a standard and high quality sports environment To provide a comfortable and convenient place which is equipped with complete facilities for exercise To raise awareness about importance of exercise for health To improve public interests in sports To solve the problem of car park
CONCEPT AND IDEAS
The land of site will be fully used for parking area, fitness centre and commercial block.The land outside the fitness centre and commercial block will be remained as car park as the building occupies more spaces.The fitness centre consists of three floors which is basement, ground floor and first floor. The basement is car park because there are not enough land to provide spaces for car park outside the building as it was originally a car park area. Ground floor consists of fitness area, shower and washroom area, office room and waiting area. For the first floor, it consists of gym area, first aid room area and some convenience store.
The commercial block consists of basement car park and ground floor. Ground floor consists of convenience stores for commercial purpose.
SKETCH PLAN OF PROPOSAL
Diagram above shows the plan view of the site.The land is occupied with parking area, fitness centre and commercial block.As the original circulation in and out the site is narrow, it changed into bigger entrance and exits for vehicles to avoid traffic congestion.
Diagram above shows the plan view of basement car park.
Example of the view of basement car park with entrance and exits.
Diagram above shows the plan view of ground floor.
Potential Fitness Centre spaces are numerous and varied. Small facilities may have little more than a fitness area with group exercise room, locker rooms, and a small support/administrative area.
Group exercise room/studio. These rooms accommodate organized fitness class activities.
Locker rooms and associated functions. These spaces are typically separated by gender and accommodate the basic functions of changing, storing clothes, patron showers, and toilets.
Administrative and support spaces. These staff spaces accommodate the operation and administration of the facility and include Reception/control counter and equipment issue and offices.
Lobby entrance.
A commercial area is real estate intended for use by for-profit businesses. The building itself consists of convenience store and food court.

RATIONALE, BENEFITS AND IMPACTS
Rationale Distance with other sport and recreation centre is far Population increased within that area People surrounding can have a place to work out for stress relief Awareness of the importance of health raised nowadays Car park slots need to be added as the circulation will be increased
Benefits Increase aggregate demand of the economy, creating new jobs, thus increasing employment. Empty land can be functional Raise awareness about importance of exercise for health Public interests in sports improved Provide a nearer fitness centre for public Stress can be relieved through work out Have a comfortable fitness centre for people to work out Completed sport equipment and other facilities 24 hours operation which allow people exercise in a quiet condition Car park problem solved with the addition of basement car park People can get the needed stuff from convenience store easily First aid area in building increase the safety of the people who work out
Impacts Causes traffic congestion as the road in front of the site is narrow Rate of pollution may increase Safety of the area may be decreased as the location is surrounded by commercial buildings such as bank Direction of wind flow are blocked Air is not fresh for people who work out because it is located beside highway
