Architectural design studio final project focus on the design of building in a urban site for the local community. The existing context of the place requires student to give attention to the surrounding context and community to design a community library for the local community.
The community library is a place of bringing the community together. From the site analysis, the Jalan Petaling site was rich in cultural and historical value. As time progress, the Chinese culture in the Petaling Street is fading as the foreign labourers are flooding and closing down of traditional Chinese business. The reducing size of Chinese community slowly take away the essence of
Chinatown. Hence, the community library focus on bridging the gap between the young community and local Chinese community which might bring new possibilities to Chinatown.
