In this semester, I have learned how to be manage my time as a planning student.During this semester,with all the project that we have done,I really like the project 5 NEIGHBOURHOOD AND ENVIRONMENT because this project all of us can go to the site anf make our site analysis.
I would like to thank all those who helped me throughout this first semester, especially our friends and lecturers who provide advice and guidance in the completion of a project. All experience in this semester taught me to always work together in doing something, always ask if not sure and do not be selfish. In completing the project 6, theres lot of problem but with cooperation and ideas of my group members, we finally succeeded.iNSYAALLAH,in next semester,i wiil work hard and strunggle to get a good pointer.............

Executive Summary
This report provides all the
info needed to build an “Amphitheatre stage” at School of Housing, Building and
Planning in USM Minden.Site of analysis include all the natural element that
needed to be considered in construction industry so that the building is stable
and strong enough to deal with natural impact.
All calculation can be
found in the presentation drawing including the site analysis for the stage. Besides,
the measurement for the whole proposed area has been calculated and divided
equally so that the audience can enjoy
the show in much better way.The zone divided are buffer zone,stage zone,seating
zone and entrance/exit zone.
This stage is specially
design in such way that can be used for all purpose and for people from all
walks of life including the disable without losing its aesthetic value.This
report also recommend that RUS104 INTEGRATED STUDIO continue supporting their
student while maintaining the quality of the project produce.

1.0 Introduction
Building does not have to
be large to be pleasantly viewed, and does not have to be extensively enclosed
to be comfortably occupied. This is especially so in the tropics, where simple
living under the shade with the users being kept connected to the nature is
more recommended. Such examples are commonly found waqf (wakaf) or traditional
performance stage that is aesthetically beautiful and functionally viable. With
the advance of structural know-how and efficient technology, these small
structure buildings like the performance stage have been upgraded to be more
creatively designed and applicable for broader functions. This includes a mini
amphitheatre stage, which has gained greater attention in recent years, since
it is easily placed in small to medium size of outdoor spaces. Inspired by this
characteristic, designing and constructing a special amphitheatre stage for the
USM as the main studio project involving various aspects of construction is
well worth the effort since the stage can cater for numerous events and
activities that are continuously held at the university throughout the years.
2.0 Objective
·
To
develop teamwork and leadership among the group members.
·
To
apply the knowledges we have learnt from lectures in our project.
·
To
provide opportunities for us to understand and learn from each other who are
from different expertise (majors).
·
They
have to ensure that their design is functionable in the real climate and site.
So, they can prove that their design is not just
superficial but practical and it can be built.
·
Students
can understand the basic costing analysis and have to ensure that cost of
materials used is reasonable by the techniques of surveying.
·
Students
have to choose the suitable materials to achieve minimum wastage. They can also
apply basic knowledge about building services in the design.
·
To
gain more experience through site analysis so that theories learnt can be
complied in the projects in present and future..
·
Students
have chances to apply the knowledge about building construction to use
appropriate construction techniques to build a stage which has a strong
foundation.
·
To
improve report writing skills and spatial arrangement skills in presentation
drawings.
·
To
gain confidence in selling our product so that the potential customers are
attracted to our product.
3.0 Background Study and Site Analysis
School
of housing, building and planning is established in 1972 by the late Tan Sri
Professor Hamzah Sendut, the Vice Chancellor of USM, the nation’s second oldest
university in Malaysia, the School of Housing, Building and Planning (HBP) is
one of the few building construction-based educational centers in Malaysia that
is multi-disciplinary in nature. The School was modeled along the lines of what
Professor Koenigsberger and Markus had envisioned to meet the needs of a
developing country.
Building
does not have to be large to be pleasantly viewed, and does not have to be
extensively enclosed to be comfortably occupied. Therefore, with the area in housing,
building, and planning schools, the mini amphitheater stage will be built since
it is easily placed in small to medium size of outdoor spaces. Inspired by this
characteristic, designing and constructing a special amphitheater stage for USM
as the main studio project involving various aspect of construction is well
worth the effort since the stage can cater for numerous events and activities
that are continuously held at the university through the years.
The
proposed site for the amphitheater is located on an open space next to studio
of HBP in USM.The site location is on a slope,which is 
overlooking nice view from the site with the
beautiful sea and Penang Bridges. The type of land that we use for our
amphitheater is latex land .The drainage at this area from upper is quite good
and enough for the water to flow down.
overlooking nice view from the site with the
beautiful sea and Penang Bridges. The type of land that we use for our
amphitheater is latex land .The drainage at this area from upper is quite good
and enough for the water to flow down.
The
main concept of our amphitheater stage design is based on a type of dance that is call as
Finger Tutting. Tutting is the word derived from the name of the Egyptian king
Tutankhanum or king Tut’.It is called Anggertutting because the dance is one of
modern dance and it is known around the world. The dance will be done with the
specific music beat or rhythm (ROBORIC RHYTHM). The dance was born from US in early
1980’s. The idea of the dance is taken from HIEROGLYPHICS or ancient egyptian
wall writing. The steps of the dance based on Mathemathics or Geomatrision
angles and shapes. We have agreed to built the amphitheater based on this
concept because we feel that the stage will be the place where people unleash
their talent. Thus,the stage need same element that relate with the function of
the stage. So, we have agree to built the amphitheater based on “finger
tutting” concept.
3.1 Location Plan
-This is the proposed site
given to us, the dimension is 50M x 40M (length x width).The location is next
to HBP building.

the afternoon, the velocity of wind is moderate and the pressure that will be
happen on the stage roof is in the good condition because the wind is not
strong.
·
The
surrounding sound reading were bit high since the site is near to the road.
·
The
temperature at the site are standard temperature in Malaysia which is in range
30 degree Celsius to 35 degree.

6.0 Construction
method, material selection and etc
Construction Method
Conventional Building Construction refers to the
traditional method of construction where the construction knowledge is passed
from one generation to the other. On the other hand, IBC define it as a type of
construction whose primary structural elements are formed by a system of
repetitive wood framing members. For conventional construction, it divided into
3 phases, which are Design Phase, Bid Phase and lastly Construction Phase. For
this amphitheater project, the main material must be timber. So for the flooring,
roof and so on are made from timber. Here is an example of conventional wood
frame construction.
The reason this method been chosen is because of its
several advantages in different aspects:
1. Strength. Timber framing by either method is strong in
real structural terms. Heavy-timber frames, with or without infilling, are more
resistant to trauma from earthquakes, wind uplift and heavy snow load than
light-frame construction
2. Conducive to infilling. Heavy-timber framing is more
appropriate than stick framing for infilling with natural building techniques.
With infilling, it is not critical that exact spacing be left between vertical
studs or posts; masonry and cob can fit any space, and straw bales can be made
to fit almost any width of space.
3. Ease of construction. If you’ve never before built a
timber-frame structure, you might find it easier than conventional studding,
which requires fairly exact tolerances for the application of sheetrock,
plywood and the like. With timber framing, far fewer pieces are handled, and
tolerances, at least in the post-and-beam frame, do not need to be quite so
exact.
4. Economy. If you are buying from a local sawmill, you
will likely discover that timber framing is more economical than buying
finished lumber. When buying heavy timbers from a distant source, this
advantage is lost, and timber framing may become more expensive. The key to
building anything economically by any method is to use local or indigenous
materials.
Superstructure
and Substructure
For superstructure, we propose to use steel truss system
for roof supporting structure. The reasons we chose this is because of steel
trusses include being lightweight and mould resistant, unlike wood framing.
Also, steel material makes it possible to span a large area, such as an
airplane hangar. Perhaps the most important advantage is the fact that steel is
not combustible like wood, making it resilient in a fire.
For foundation, we propose wood
piling. To hold the stage well, we purpose to hit 4 piles in 4 corners. The
size of the pile is 6inch*6inch , and the depth is 16 feet.
The wood we propose to use is Bakau wood. The Bakau piles
are not only cheap, but also easy to be handled in piling work. The buildings
that use Bakau piles as foundation can at least stand for 10 years, and the Bakau
piles are very easy to be cleared off when the other type of foundation need to
be used. The minimum length of the mangrove piles use is only 6.0m and they can
be joint with a pile joint, which is made up by a steel box. The lengthening of
pile may increase the soil bearing capacity and make sure then the piles are
stand on a firm or stiff clay, so that the downward movement of piles will not
happen. Drop hammer is used for the driver of the mangrove piles. To install
the piles into soft clay, the drop hammer just pushes the piles with small
force. The clay is excavating before the installation of piles. Furthermore,
since the site is located at a slope, so some land -filling have to be done.

BALSA WOOD
-good in flexibilities and strong -absorb vibration. Balsa wood core material is easy to bond when using any type of resin or adhesive. Balsa core also serves as a natural insulator, fire retardant and noise reduction material. Working with balsa wood is easy, as it can handle changes in temperature and high chemical resistance (including styrene). Balsa wood core can also come with the latest coating technologies to protect it from environmental issues. |

PERSPEX
- It's a strong plastic that features similar qualities to glass with regards to transparency. They are also cheaper compared to glass. Its available in different colours and styles. They are reusable. |
|
FLOOR AND
STAIR
|
Plywood
|
-Have a great
wide resistance to cleavage and fracture.
-The lightweight plywood ease in manufacturing -Able to hold nails and screws better -plywood more efficient -Freedom from shrinking, swelling and warping - Solid wood exhibits considerable movement across the grain but generally negligible shrinkage or swelling in a longitudinal plane. The balanced construction of a plywood panel with the grain direction of adjacent veneers at right angles tends to equalise stress, thus reducing shrinkage, swelling and warping. |

BUILDING SERVICES
6.3.1 Lighting system
•
Modern
stage lighting is a flexible tool in the production of theatre, dance, opera
and other performance arts. Several different types of stage lighting instruments
are used in the pursuit of the various principles or goals of lighting.
•
The
simple ability to see what is occurring on stage. Any lighting design will be
ineffective if the viewers cannot see the characters; unless this is the
explicit intent.
•
To make the actors clearly visible so that their
expressions and emotions can be easily projected to the audience.
•
To give actors and action a suitably dramatic
appearance within the play’s mood and setting.
•
To compliment and highlight the sets and costumes.

Fire
protection service
Carbon
Dioxide is ideal for fires involving electrical apparatus, and will also extinguish class B liquid fires, but has NO
POST FIRE SECURITY and the fire could re-ignite.
·
Carbon
Dioxide (CO2) Fire Extinguishers are distinguished by a black coloured band
around the top of the cylinder.
·
Carbon dioxide is a
non-conductive and non-corrosive gas used to reduce the amount of oxygen
available to the fire. Carbon dioxide is extracted from the atmosphere and
stored at high pressure in the liquid state within a fire extinguisher.
Since
our amphitheatre has been installed with many electronical items it is
best to used this kind of fire extinguisher .

3.1 Backdrop
For backdrop area for the stage, we decided to make it
removable. We don’t want to block the beautiful view that can be seen at the
back of the stage. So we propose to make a pull-out backdrop made up of cloth.When
we need the backdrop for certain purpose the only things need to do is pull the
backdrop. The backdrop will be located at the second section of the stage
7.0 Conclusion
This project 6 consist of
many tasks that are out of our knowledge. However by doing this project we have
learned so many things such as how to work in a big group, how to handle a
meeting, how to manage stress and many more.
Group
members are also able to communicate in good way such that every problem that
occurred we manage to handle it professionally.Besides, group members also gain
some knowledge on how to produce a proposal report.
In terms
of construction method, now we all know
why does each building use a very kind of foundation and material used. It is
basically related to the topography of the site, each topography condition has
it own suitable construction method.
Group
members are also able to know what sound system can be used in a widerange area
site. Instead of just knowing how to prepare a sound system for 100 plus
person, we also need to know where to put the speakers and does the range of
the sound comfortable and nice to hear.
Overall,
this project is a tough project since we have to work in a team of 16 person
and to design an Amphitheatre stage for school of Housing, Building and
planning.
