Decorative plants have developed into a strategic position in an effort to healthy indoor buildings, adding to their functions as decorations for the comfort of occupants. This overview of decorative plants aims to describe the determining factors in the relationship between plants, humans, phytoremediation, to produce sustainable healthy indoor quality. The literature search and selection method used the Mendeley Reference Manager platform. The results were categorized as interactions between plant and human responses, and between plants and indoor environmental quality. In summary, decorative plants are able to make people of all ages and their activities healthy physically and mentally, and it is important to avoid toxic plants even though they look beautiful. The ability of plants has been proven to be able to improve the environmental quality of indoor pollutants, as a function of phytoremediation to make indoor healthy for sustainable use, although should avoid plants with negative effect properties. The status is convincing to make decorative plants an essential living element in indoor. Promotion strategies and implementation tactics are proposed, adapted to local conditions.

Information on public transport infrastructure factors affecting mobility and walkability within neighbourhoods among PWD in cities of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and Singapore is limited. The study objective was to explore the accessibility of numerous facilitators and barriers in built environment within first mile last mile (FMLM) public transport in naturally occurring retirement community (NORC) neighbourhood within Kuala Lumpur and using Singapore as a benchmark. The research using Direct Observation technique was conducted through Access Audit on six routes at two locations, namely Malaysia (i.e., MY1, MY2, MY3) and Singapore (i.e., SG1, SG2, SG3), with a particular focus on five groups of PWD (Physical, Learning, Blind, Deaf, Elderly). The collected data were analysed for various environmental facilitators and barriers concerning connectivity, comfort, attitude, legibility, and safety of the FMLM public transport in the neighbourhoods. Four FMLM access to public transport determinants emerged and described in order of occurrence frequency in Malaysia case study: transportation service determinant, built environment characteristic, social environment determinant and individual attributes determinant. Different PWD groups had different vulnerabilities and prone to environmental barriers of FMLM in public transport system in Kuala Lumpur as opposed to Singapore. Therefore, it is proposed that walkability of FMLM neighbourhood to be integral component of PWD accessibility, connectivity, and safety when designing built environment in Malaysia.

This paper highlights the role of Space Syntax as a method to analyze spatial quality in Low-income Housing (L-iH) in Malaysia. Low-income Housing (L-iH) schemes such as the People’s Housing Project (PPR) have been one of the government’s approaches in coping with housing shortage in the Klang Valley. These L-iH schemes have been reported to be unsatisfactory to the inhabitants’ comfort, social and cultural needs. It is therefore crucial to investigate the relationship between space and the occupants by assessing the indoor space visibility using Visual Graph Analysis (VGA) as part of Space Syntax method, as the analytical tool to improve the future designs of L-iH that will benefit the occupants, policymakers, low-income house developers and consultants, researchers in the architecture field, and society at large.

COVID-19 has affected a lot of industries in Malaysia including the construction industry. In an effort to curb the spread of the pandemic, the government has introduced the Movement Control Order (MCO), which has halted all developments and construction activities. Thus, this study was conducted to understand the pandemic's effects on the construction industry and the usage of technology during the MCO. A quantitative research method was adopted, where 400 questionnaire surveys were sent to contractors grade G5, G6, and G7 in Malaysia and 30.5% of responses were received. Data obtained were analysed using descriptive analysis and the Relative Important Index (RII). Findings show that the significant impacts are the increased project cost, labour shortage, project delay, late payment, COVID-19 cluster on-site, limitation to visit the site and reduced number of construction projects. In terms of technology usage, BIM, IoT, and Computing are commonly used by the majority of the contractors. These 3 technologies are vital in moving towards the implementation of Digital Twin. Based on the findings, the Digital Twin strategies were then proposed to mitigate the effects faced by the contractors in terms of automation, prediction, monitoring, modelling and resource management.
新冠肺炎疫情影响了马来西亚的许多行业，包括建筑行业。政府为了控制新冠疫情的扩散，下达了停止所有开发和建设活动的“移动管制令”。因此，本研究旨在了解疫情对建筑行业的影响以及mcco期间的技术使用情况。采用定量研究方法，向马来西亚G5、G6、G7等级的承包商发放400份问卷调查，收到30.5%的回复。采用描述性分析和相对重要指数(Relative Important Index, RII)对所得数据进行分析。研究结果表明，项目成本增加、劳动力短缺、项目延迟、延迟付款、COVID-19现场集群、限制访问现场和减少建设项目数量是影响显著的因素。在技术使用方面，BIM、IoT和Computing是大多数承包商常用的技术。这三种技术对于实现数字孪生至关重要。根据调查结果，提出了数字孪生策略，以减轻承包商在自动化、预测、监测、建模和资源管理方面面临的影响。

Regeneration of historic areas requires high costs, both by the government and the private sector. The private sector is renovating its historic buildings so that the building can function as an economic, social, and cultural investment. In reality, few investment patterns pay attention to social and cultural activities. Therefore, this paper examines the management of the regeneration of cultural heritage areas and investment patterns in supporting cultural activities in the Old City. This study uses qualitative methods by processing secondary data, documents, field observations, and interviews. The results of the analysis show that there is a decisive government role in supporting the regeneration of cultural heritage areas. An investment pattern in the urban regeneration process supports creative cultural activities and community participation. This study finds the role of the government through policies dealing with urban regeneration with an investment pattern that supports the preservation of cultural heritage.

The UTM’s M.Arch programme revitalized its Design Studio programme, also known as the Architectural Design Thesis (ADT), when it introduced the Thesis Supervisory Panel system in 2013. Developed as an expansion from the preceding 5-year B.Arch and 3+3 Integration programme, the ADT expanded the previous 2-stage final year Design Studio spanning over two semesters into four, introducing the TSP, implementing the vertical studio and allowing students to choose their own paths. The programme was developed from the Workbase system, a hands-on, master-led Design Studio approach influenced by Ecole des Beaux Arts and Bauhaus. The authors intend to tell the story of the programme and its changes throughout the years. This paper records the growth and development of the TSPs in the M.Arch programme, tracing its origin in the Workbase practiced since the 1980s with data collected from the Thesis Coordinator’s files, departmental publications and documentations and have been organized in a simple narrative. By framing the narrative on the back story of the TSPs, the paper offer better understanding on the inner workings of the UTM M.Arch studio programme and encourages improving and strengthening the established system and opens up new studies that could enrich and diversify it further.

Architectural design studios are the crux and core of architecture education. The closure of face-to-face Design studios due to the COVID-19 pandemic during the years 2020 and 2021 has indeed posed a set of challenges to architectural education. Through a rigorous set of research methods, the paper investigates the various possibilities and perspectives of making the challenges into opportunities to rethink, innovate and move on. The paper aims to develop a model for implementing studio-based learning innovative, appropriate, and conducive to covid and post-covid environments. The first objective dealt with in this paper is to find the consensus on the directives to solve and respond to the contemporary challenges of the pandemic for the SBL. The second is to arrive at a toolkit or a model that strategically summarizes the processes for the directives. The School of Architecture, Building, and Design from Taylor’s University Malaysia has been the case study of the investigation. The research methods involved conducting focus group meetings with various stakeholders, such as the Students, Tutors, Studio Coordinators, Program Directors, and the Head of the School. The findings firstly offered a set of shifts in paradigms of SBL and secondly, a toolkit that we named as Design Implementation Model (DIM) for a hybrid studio pedagogy that we envisage and envision to be the future of architectural education.

Dusun Semilir is one of the largest tourist destinations in Central Java-Indonesia due to its attractive building design that increases the curiosity of tourists. However, there are several implementations of tourist attraction design, accessibility, and supporting facilities that do not consider the humanist aspects such as non-sloping paths, too high stairs, which hindered those with limitations including the elderly and disabled, from accessing and enjoying the atmosphere. This indicated that the universal design approach is less than optimal. Therefore, this study aims to maintain tourist comfort by providing a universal design perspective for a tourist destination. Qualitative methods were used to explore universal design-related phenomena and problems in order to implement the design concepts that are accessible to everyone. Furthermore, observations and interviews with purposive sampling techniques were used as the instruments while descriptive analysis techniques were conducted to determine the comfort of tourists based on the universal design aspect. The output of this study is the importance of using universal design to create accessible tourism.

This research aims to observe the existing streetscapes feature related to walkability in the area of The People’s Housing Program in Kerinchi which serves as part of the Government Program for the resettlement of squatters and to fulfill the shelter needs of the low-income group (bottom 40%) in Malaysia. The stakeholder’s perception of the effectiveness of the existing streetscape feature will be collected and analyzed.The study employs a quantitative approach, data collection is done via on-site study and survey questionnaires. Streetscape features were analyzed from four criteria – enjoyment, safety, comfort, and accessibility. This study identified most of the respondents will spend less time walking due to lacking enjoyment (55.33%), exposed physical safety (42.30%), poor sanitation and street maintenance (54.36%),and poor walkability design for special-needs people (53.60%). The outcome of the research findings suggests several methods in improving walkability by enhancing the walking environment and facilities, implementation of the pedestrian-only zone, congestion pricing, and more active participation by governing bodies.

Urban heat island (UHI) in cities across Malaysia has worsened due to rapid development and construction. Previous research highlight temperature difference between Putrajaya and its suburban neighbouring area is as high as 5˚C. Green roofs in urban areas can be used as a green intervention strategy to reduce UHI impact by increasing air moisture and surface wetness through its plants, which consequently decreases surrounding air and surface temperature. Green roofs also provide additional insulation that reduces heat transfer into buildings, therefore reducing cooling demand and operational energy in buildings. Conventional building roofs in tropical climate have measured surface temperature up to 60˚C, compared to surrounding irrigated grass and water bodies that are measured as low as 15˚C. This paper compared surface temperatures of green roof and conventional non-green roof case studies in a tropical climate setting, to combat urban heat island effect. A triangulation technique was adopted, using a case study analysis with an in-depth structured interview and physical fieldwork investigation. The findings concluded that green roofs had significantly lower surface temperature compared to non-green flat roof. This paper provides evidence that supports green roof as a green intervention strategy in reducing urban heat island and encourage building designers to maximize under-utilized spaces of roofs to increase urban greenery coverage.

The findings concluded that green roofs had significantly lower surface temperature compared to non-green flat roof. This paper provides evidence that supports green roof as a green intervention strategy in reducing urban heat island and encourage building designers to maximize under-utilized spaces of roofs to increase urban greenery coverage.","PeriodicalId":37954,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Design and Built Environment","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90502860","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
