PENDEKATAN SENI BINA KONTEKSTUAL DALAM PERSEKITARAN WARISAN
Full text linkPada masa kini, kebanyakan arkitek ingin merekabentuk bangunan yang ikonik yang berdiri megah dan menjadi mercu tanda serta kebanggaan bagi dirinya. Namun, ada diantara bangunan mereka itu seakan-akan tidak bersesuaian dengan konteks setempat atau ‘out of place’. Malah bangunan tersebut bukan sahaja merosakkan nilai setempat, tetapi ia juga turut memutuskan hubungkait antara bangunan lama dan bangunan baru. Oleh yang demikian, penulisan ini bertujuan untuk memfokuskan perbincangan berkenaan elemen-elemen yang perlu diambil kira dalam merekabentuk sebuah bangunan dan kepentingannya melalui pendekatan seni bina kontekstual dalam persekitaran warisan. Ini amat penting untuk menunjukkan perkaitan dan hubungkait antara baru dan lama disamping dapat merekabentuk bangunan yang menghormati persekitaran warisan di kawasan sekitarnya. Antara karakter seni bina kontekstual yang diambil kira ialah turutan (order), skala dan perkadaran (scale and proportion), warna, bahan dan tekstur (colours, materials and textures), simetri (symmetry), ritma (rhythm) dan perincian (detail). Hasilnya, melalui pendekatan seni bina kontekstual ini dapat merekabentuk bangunan baru yang mengekalkan karakter dan menjamin fabrik bagi kawasan warisan
STRATEGI KELESTARIAN DALAM BANGUNAN TINGGI
Full text linkPenulisan ini akan memfokuskan perbincangan berkenaan strategi yang perlu diambil kira dalam merekabentuk sebuah bangunan pencakar langit yang berpandukan senibina lestari. Ini menunjukkan bagaimana perpindahan teknologi di dalam area pembinaan telah diguna pakai dalam sistem bangunan pencakar langit untuk mencapai prestasi terbaik. Ini kerana proses merekabentuk bangunan tinggi melibatkan pelbagai bidang termasuklah komponen senibina, struktur, dan sistem HVAC (heat, ventilation and air conditioning). Beberapa contoh bangunan generasi baru yang menitikberatkan kelestarian dalam bangunan dijadikan sebagai rujukan kajian kes. Kajian ini telah menyimpulkan bahawa bangunan tinggi akan menggunakan tenaga yang tinggi, golongan pereka pada generasi akan datang akan beralih kepada strategi rekabentuk “tenaga sifar” secara berperingkat. Dalam pendekatan ini, iklim setempat menjadi salah satu daripada kelebihan untuk rekabentuk bangunan yang menjadikan bangunan itu sendiri sebagai sumber tenaga. Tidak mustahil pada satu masa nanti, bangunan tinggi akan menghasilkan tenaga tambahan yang boleh dijual kepada pusat janakuasa bandar
TRANSNATIONAL STUDENTS’ ATTACHMENT TO PLACE IN CAMPUS: TOWARDS THE INTERNATIONALIZATION OF UNIVERSITI PUTRA MALAYSIA
Full text linkIn many universities around the world internationalization is promoted as a top priority to attract lucrative international student markets. To achieve this goal, it is essential to facilitate a sense of place amongst transnational students to eradicate social and psychological problems in the new educational environment. Despite this, there seems to be insufficient records on the actual manner of transnational students’ securitizing the issue and how it has impacted their educational lifestyles. Therefore, the challenge now is to ascertain the actual level of attachment in campus before embarking into a more related complex and multidisciplinary social and physical studies. The aim of this study to investigate the level of emotional attachment of place of international students and the manner it affects their educational experiences in Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) main campus. For this reason, a 5-point Likert-Scaled questionnaire survey on 336 UPM international students and data analysis using SPSS were conducted. Results demonstrate that the international students have a low emotional place attachment towards the campus design which also affects their social well-being and psychological health. Recognizing the main indicators of emotional attachment also assist in improving the physical design of the campus to support the international students’ sense of place attachment
