Good afternoon welcome and namaste to all and today is actually a very special day for the international webinar series 4 organized by university technology malaysia because we have four beautiful ladies which will be the honorable speaker for today from utm we have two important speakers dr sharifa sawa who is an

Expert on space syntax we have the practicing architects um samsi abdullah who is also doing a lot of research on affordable housing and also from sassy creative school of architecture prof gayatri with swanadan and from ved valla assistive technology which is prof manakshi papu so to me today is woman

Day okay so ladies rule feminism all right and uh what i’m saying is that beauty with brains to all the four of you okay so today’s webinar talk is actually an important talk uh because as the director of the utm architecture school i feel so honored to have these four

Wonderful prominent successful lady speakers that not only will share their interests in each area focusing on the issue of housing across the globe but we are looking into two different contexts of country india and malaysia and looking at the global issue which is the issue of housing and human settlements

Which is a very big challenge faced by all today and i think it is also an unfortunate event also for us in malaysia because i think two days ago we are facing um the flood issue especially in our city center in kuala lumpur and there are so many people affected with

These flood matters so i think this is also a big challenge that relating to the um new development especially looking into housing development especially in big urban cities so i hope today intellectual discourse will act as some sort like a starting point that will spark the discourse on housing and human

Settlement in the 21st century and looking what are the best options the best practices the best approaches for academician to give their best ideas and input based on our researches to improve the quality of life and the way how we live in so today’s discourse is also a collaborative effort between three

Institutions representing india and malaysia and i hope that this course will strengthen the ties for further research and academic collaboration between the law institute technology vidspark architecture school and sassy creative school of architecture and with university technology malaysia utm architecture school so i wish everyone the very best to the four beautiful ladies

Good luck and all the best for your presentation today and we look forward to the collaboration between utm vit and also sassy so thank you so much and i passed it back to the moderator dr izura all right um thank you the dailies for the welcoming remarks so without further

Ado i shall welcome our first speaker of the session professor gayatri viswanathan from sasi creative school of architecture with the title of gender equal cities perspective of the past and the future the room is yours prof thank you thank you professor uh hope i’m audible yeah okay

Uh i could i should say good afternoon and good evening to everyone professor alice i guess i chose my subject correctly gender equal cities and today we have four ladies presenting so i guess without much delay i will start with the presentation my screen is visible yes yes

So as uh dr azura said my topic is general equals gender equal cities perspectives of the past and the future uh okay to start off with let’s see what is gender equality so gender equality it is not only a fundamental human right but uh it is a necessary foundation for

A peaceful prosperous and sustainable world so when we say about gender equality it is about providing women and girls with equal access to education health care representation in political and economic decision making process which will actually benefit societies and humanity at large unicef says gender equality means that women and men

Girls and boys enjoy the same right resources opportunities and protections and unesco unesco also believes that all form of discrimination based on gender and violation of human rights uh as well as significant barriers to the achievement of the 2030 agenda of the sustainable development which is the 17 sustainable development goals so here

The message is really very clear women and men should enjoy equal rights choices power knowledge equal citizenship so we need to equip both girls boys the values attitudes and skills to tackle gender disparities now let’s look into some metrics and statistics that is needed to substantiate the need for gender equality

Okay to start off with let’s go with the history since 1900 so here in this slide here we see three figures figure a b and c so figure a here represents the uh female to male average years of schooling across the world from 1920 to

۲۱۰٫ so you can see that the graph is increased and in figure b we can see the female to male labor force participation in the world and in figure c uh we can see the gender equality index so all the three figures shows that from 1900 till 2010 that is the past decade

There has been a gradual increase of the gender the female participation okay now going into the statistics now uh the world economic forum it had released a global gender gap report in 2020 now this was a survey done out of 153 countries and here you can see the first top 10

Countries now when the survey was done they had taken into consideration four key areas one is economic participation and opportunity one is education one is health and one is political empowerment now here uh this report which was uh published in 2020 here you can see that iceland stands first and you should also

Now know that for the past 11 years iceland has been in the top 10 number one and after iceland you can see that it is norway finland sweden followed by the other uh five countries but specifically uh i should say that in 2018 spain spain uh it was nominated as the world’s most

Female-centric government in 2018 and in 2019 egypt it became the first country in the middle east and africa to close a to launch a close to have the uh gender gap it was nearing the smaller size of the gender gap but why because in egypt more of the females started enrolling themselves in

Universities and many of the female representation was there in many of the professional and in even in the governance part now in these countries especially in spain and in egypt they are working towards a three-frame policies and what they look into is if they need to bring women into a higher position

There are a few criteria which they need to consider for the ladies and what are the criteria’s this includes extended parentally subsidized child care and removing unconscious bias and recruitment that means trying to give equal recruitment for both ladies and gents but as part of this global gender gap ranking

They have also and with the part of the survey they’ve also seen to that that in the next 25 to 257 years that means it will take more 257 years to close this gender gap between male and female this is another part of the statistics where out of 153 countries they have

Seen that 83 countries the ladies have the political empowerment so this image here clearly shows that how much percentage of the ladies are as congresswomans how much percentage of the lady work as women ministers and here it says that overall in the global gender gap report it is seen that

Because it is seen that 25 percent only 25 percent of the women they are in the position of the governance part and it’s still it needs to come up to a higher level and even in this report it is also seen that the education the ladies who receive

Education and the ladies who receive more of health are in a slighter disparity meaning it is 96.1 percent and 95.7 percent respectively okay now what are the benefits of gender equality there are main three benefits when we have gender equality it makes our community safe and healthier it prevents violence against women and

Children and it also aids a better economy within the society now when we are talking about this let us take into consideration a few uh studies one is the vienna which is a study in austria here if you see uh vienna they have designed a neighborhood which is a an urban space where

It is more friendly for the ladies so here what they have done is it is actually incorporated by the ladies who worked in the urban planning there they have prioritized pedestrians over car users and they have tried to bring more public spaces more public oriented spaces with

Female perspectives in it so it is more of safety towards female now the second one if you see here is umea this is in sweden now here they have tried to design a it is in a center uh in a city center park where they have rebuilt and redesigned the park

Targeting the ladies now what they are trying to tell here is that to become uh to have a healthy city they should take the female gender into account their participation is more necessary because that will give a more elaborate design process now the third uh small study here is

Barcelona’s now barcelona here if you see they have redesigned their urban space they have tried to give in more space for ladies have more number of trees it actually they tried to have a bigger area with more light so that female feel more uh safe when they are walking

So here what they have done is why they have had this wider payments is for new mothers for women with shopping bags when we say new mothers that means kids in the pram and women’s shopping bags they when they need to walk around and uh here they try to also have well lit

Streets open parks where you can have a longer visibility and anybody can see to want from one extent to the other extent okay now the question is why genders matter now in this image you can see the male gender and the female gender so here

We need to see to it that the women participation in urban black in urban planning and in governance it has to have a gender sensitive approach and to get that gender sensitive approach we need to have women representation and political structures more in governance and women’s role in advocacy

And also an inclusive approach meaning having both male and female in the development of new urban partnerships so when we say male and female and when we say that we need to have women in in inclusive in the planning so we need to see planning with a gender

Perspective so that means a woman’s experience how to use the urban environment because it is totally different and how a male uses usually when you see it is more of the it’s nothing against me but i’m just telling it is more of the male’s design which comes into picture

That means the woman’s decision in planning is not seen but if you see these three in this image if you see these three icons it is easily shows that women’s input in transportation housing and in services is necessary in transportation why because women totally have a distinct different requirement

They directly don’t go to their workplace for example when they go to their workplace they do 100 other jobs maybe you drop your kids in school then you see that the daycare person is come or whatever you maybe pick up certain medicines or whatever and then you

Travel so you need to see that the journey is not straight it is the there are many uh stops in between so women’s transportation thing is entirely different second is housing now you need to have when you are designing for a housing program you need

To see to it that women are included in the designing 13 services yes now generally women cook they do everything at home they are the responsible people for the household so they are the ones who would like to tell you how much water supply is needed

Is it quite safe is there is the sanitation efficient is the solid waste removal proper in process so actually we need to take their input so if we see the main act the main six criterias that women need to be taken into account is the accessibility the mobility the safety

Hygiene and health climate resilience and security of tenure for example whether we are living in our own house are we owning our house so all those criterias had to be taken care of gender bias in architecture okay now if we see here all of us are architects yes

Now in the field of architecture in the early 1970s if you see it was more of males than females then in 1980s the females started coming into picture but it was like they finished the education or they drop out and as soon as education they get

Settled they don’t go much into work but all this started uh becoming a bet bit less after 1970s now why all this was happening is there was a root cause of this problem maybe there was a lack of female mentors and having successful ladies as architects popular architects the wage gap

The amount the the remuneration which is given to the male and the female may be because of long working hours for the ladies and after they work they need to go back take care of the family the kids and sometimes even sexual harassment but even before 1960s there were certain

Ladies who worked and that is seen in the image here so here we need to have a balance in the work environment there should be a lady representation to the society and the ladies they need to be bring bought in so that there is a wider perspective okay

So that means woman’s participation is necessary there on they have to be there representing in any for example today we are all representing in this forum so they should be there for the representation the second economic equality meaning there should not be a wage gap it should be as per their experience

That their remuneration is considered and the other thing is governance they should get into the political level okay now i guess let’s get into one or two studies which shows the gender equal city so one such is vienna in austria so here we can see that now these studies they show that

If you have women participation then it promotes to more safety and proper planning is also seen better representation not just in terms of man but also one woman and it all this leads to gender equality so let’s take a small study in vienna now if you see in the image here you can

See a stage now this is actually an urban square it is called as the rumen plus here they did a survey the urban planning department did a survey and there is a school nearby so this they checked with the students of that school and the students said we would

Like to have a small stage in the urban plaza here and as per their requirements this stage was redesigned for them and it’s and after the redesign it started working in 2020 now why this was redesigned so that this becomes a happening place not about the stage they even started having more

Trees more seating areas and even some gathering spaces so this was a kind of gender sensitive re design now here vienna took into consideration the gender planning so that the the public spaces got a genders gender sensitive design and here if we see that they uh started

An uh strategy called as the gender mainstreaming so that means they started bringing women into picture and here uh what they did was they started giving in small icons for example they had a gender sensitive language to communicate in public transportation they tried to bring in uh small icons which showed

That this seat is reserved for children for ladies even men who came in with kids so it is for parents also now another point in this uh urban spaces they as i said earlier they started bringing in larger payments for ladies to walk with pranks it was more lighted

And there was a row of trees and from one end to another end it was also well lit okay the next uh study is uh uae okay now uae uh these days ladies have fled up in uae there was a gender balance council which was formed in 2015 till then uae was

Ranking 49th in the world regarding the gender equal cities but once this council was established then in 2019 they jumped 43 positions and they came to the 26th position and right now in 2021 there are they are in the top 25 positions and when a survey was taken by the georgetown university

Many women felt that uae was one of the safest countries to work with even at nights so it was kind of 98.5 of the women were for it and if you see now in uae they have started uh if you know uh uae has seven emirates

And abu dhabi being one of the emirates and the capital the smart city is coming up there so as part of the smart cities program they have the safe cities program here they are trying to bring in women friendly spaces so when we say women friendly spaces because you know

That there are special spaces for ladies so they try to bring in places where they can have a range of cultural educational recreational activities for women and children girls and also there are certain spaces which is segregated as a play area as a reading area food chaos amphitheater seating spaces

Now in uae they also have a woman’s museum which is called as baital now in this was actually established by an emirati professor professor rafiya gubash and why was this done it was done in order to preserve the history of women in uae and here you can see that this displayed many

Many various fields like it showed about the old gold souk it showed about the poet it showed about all the women in history uh in and in present who have fled up in uae okay let’s look into the top woman achievers the past i’m sure most of you must be

Knowing these people queen victoria who has ruled uh and she has brought in big cultural expansions in london then margaret yes the first female to be elected as the head of the government in europe and she was also known as the iron lady number three is indira gandhi she was one of the

One and only female prime minister of india next is rosa parks she was an african-american and she was actually challenged for her race but she came out of it and she stood and she won the civil rights movement in 1960 florence 19 gail she was a lady for pioneering of the pairing

Of nursing and also reform of the hospital now these are the achievers of the past now let’s look into the achievers of the present now these both achievers of the present actually it was taken from forbes magazine it was a survey held by forbes magazine now here if we see the

Rank the and how they found out that these were the top women achievers is they had four metrics one was their impact on the world one was their spheres of insulin influence one was the media mentions and one was the power that they had so here if you see

I’ve just taken a very few there are 100 plus i have taken very very few now to start with dr zaithi aziz she is the governor of the malaysian central bank and as the longest-serving governor of bank of uh bank nagara malaysia number two if you see in the image is

Christine lagarde she is the president of the european central bank three is kamla david harris you know that she’s a current vice president number four of united states i’m sorry number four is ursula she is a german politician and she has been the president of the european commission since first december 2019 and

In the fifth you can see nora she is from uae and actually uh she has been selected in april 2021 to train as nasa astronaut and in the last part you can see malala you know she’s the pakistani activist now apart from that i have just mentioned two other people one is gita

Gopinath an indian but she is there as a chief economist in imf and indra nui she is the ceo of pepsico and why i had mentioned in ranui is because as for forbes survey 2020 she is the 13th most powerful woman in the world now all this is done to get the

Sustainable development so let’s get into the sustainable development goals now this was defined in 2015 and there are 17 sustainability votes but we will get into two main goals goal number five and goal number 10 where goal number five says gender equality and goal number ten is reduced in inequalities now

If you see problem uh sdg five gender equality you can see here that numericals and alphabets okay now what are these numericals the numerical 1 to 6 5.1 to 5.6 this is the outcome outcome targets and if you see abc phi abc these are the means of implementation targets

So sdg file had nine targets and 14 indicators but we will be going specifically only into three or four of these targets which would be explained when the relationship is being explained between 5 and 10. now this is sdg 10 where it is reduced in equalities

Now here the numericals 10.1 to 10.7 is the outcome targets and ten point eight to ten point c is the means of achievements now what we will be focusing more is ten point two ten point three and ten point four which is related to the gender equality

So here let’s see about the relationship as i said the sdg 5 and the sdg 10. so here what we are trying to see here is the relationship between sdg 5 and sdg 10. now this shows that so here this includes general equality anti-racism and it is seen to it that

The more we give gender equality for example in terms of governance or whatever more the woman is being employed we are reaching to the target of sdg 2030 but somewhere we are going down because in terms of the uh economic equality so here such complexities we are trying to address

Between these uh sdg5 and sdg so the discrimination between the ladies and gents to eliminate the inequality depending on the developed and the developing countries this is what they’re trying to achieve now how do we achieve this so there are four pillars for gender equal cities to achieve the

Gender equal cities in this the four pillars are intersectionality multi-level governance integration of hard and soft measures working with civil society and gender experts now what do we mean by intersectionality in the sectionality is this this is meaning you don’t segregate a person in terms of race gender sexual class whatever that

Is first thing second thing is hard and soft nurses meaning the built environment to the cultural and social and the skill development we need to integrate multi-level governances you need to have ladies in all levels city level policy level planning everywhere ladies need to be there and then working with civil society and

Gender experts is bringing in ladies to work with men as actually it can be as part of associations or even ngos as part of planning this needs to get it now apart from that to have a gender equal city what are the measures there are 10 measures

So here it is work which says that means 50 50 representation to check that the equality is given to all the citizens to use that is the city’s leverage to promote gender equality to create public safe spaces which are safe and healthy for both male and female

Mainstream that is gender across all the departments narrow the pay gap commit that is have participation communication and representation of the gen of male and female collect proper data then the ninth one is protect protect the services of women and men so that there is no gender-based violence and last is to sign

The european charter for equality for women and men in local life so these are the 10 measures to start a gender equal city in future so finally i would wind up my session by saying gender equal cities shows how creating space for women’s voices needs and capacities is a necessary step

Towards building thriving cities thank you all right um thank you professor gayatri viswanathan that’s an interesting sharing about gender equality that allow equal access between men and women to aspects such as education and health as well as architecture and looking at its measures and benefits in promoting safer and

Healthier cities and planning through sdg okay um so we shall move to our second speaker that is sharing about space syntax and the development of architecture studio with evidence-based design decision methods so uh without further ado i welcome dr sharipassawa to start the session thank you sorry okay hello hello hello everyone hello

Can you hear me can you see my slide oh no yes all good at this okay all right okay uh thank you so much uh another moderator let’s get you zero uh as well as one of the speakers and our esteemed colleagues from saucy as well as from uh

What’s up creative school design saucy creative school of architecture as well as the lore institute of technology india okay i’m hoping nevertheless um and of course my honorable speakers from the two college uh two colleges in india as well as my counter my colleague uh architects some say as well um

I hope i am not going to disappoint in terms of the privacy in terms of the focus of the um talk today um it is unhousing yeah i just got to know that a little bit but i do have a little bit on frozen but uh let me just uh first introduce myself

I am sheriff merced and i got my phd from the ballot ucl and my topic today is actually spatium tax and the development of architecture studio with evidence-based design decision methods most of my work actually very much into methodology kind of based which is actually spacing tax

And i believe there are colleagues as well possibly cersei as well as a vit who are also using this question text and really look forward to work together in the future okay can you see my slide yeah oh good yes i’m dr sheriff do you mind to Scale up a bit your your presentation scale up how yeah i do not know how to changed scale up slideshow it’s it’s it’s on the slideshow now is it is it it’s on the slideshow currently actually to be honest but is it small yeah it’s a bit small yeah

Yeah okay what am i gonna do what you can do is for you to click not in presentation mode you have to go into presentation mode presentation mode at the bottom uh right hand corner of the presentation a sharing presentation share content participants may share already share it

It’s the button on the bottom right by the scale bar right most button beside the scale bar on the right lower right there’s scale bar on the left because actually the problem what i’m seeing here is not the same as what you see there let me just see how it is

So you have to re reshare i guess i have to reshare okay i’ll stop sharing and i’ll reshare hold on how are they gonna stop sharing so i’m not used to uh how to say this uh v backs actually um So you’re not really showing um let’s just sorry for this uh courtesy some technical issues um gonna do one minute yeah just give me one i have tried to am i sharing my content oh how is it Right now we’re seeing your your uh slideshow in in um with the menu on the left as thumbnails and um you know just the workings the working format you are you you uh i don’t use webex so i’m not sure exactly how it works but you need to put the um

One way to do it is save it as a pdf and just show the pdf that’s a short point i think i got it i think i got it hold on here i think i got it um if this video probably doesn’t really do what what i

Want it to do hold on yeah so is it okay now yes no yeah it’s not still not okay i already have it in slides actually is it still the same maybe we should move on to the next presenter let me just try again

I do not know why he’s not doing what he needs to do right anyway um so what what do you see actually currently well we see the uh the working mode you know with the thumbnails on the left you see the working mode with the thumbnails on the left a slide in the

Middle and a huge menu on top i share my slides with you and you do it for me is that okay yeah sure sure that’s that’s the best way to do it hold on yeah i’ll share myself with dr ezra and probably hopefully she will reshare it yeah if you

Sorry for a bit of a name i’ll share you via because it’s actually quite quite a big um back let me see with phone technical technical i already shared with her via the google slides and i hope it won’t take long for dr israel to download

And perhaps she can help me sharing the what they call it my students yeah bear with me the technical thing okay shall i stop sharing dr xera i have already stopped sharing okay you want me to share you okay possible still opening i think the file is quite big this is

Actually a little bit so is that a problem um if you don’t mind i can go first while you try to resolve the technical issues this is coming probably another two three yeah sure um i think yeah it’s opening now it’s opening okay okay all right all right so

The next one yeah okay great okay sorry about that apology much quality so we’ll continue i’ll be very quick so uh this next slide next time next yeah okay so basically just sharing session like i said speed syntax my works a lot of my work based on the methodology oriented using space syntax

Uh so what is spacing text so roughly the structure of my presentation today exactly on the body space syntax studio a bit of work process of design development between our studio application into urban nurses interpretation it into architecture excellent external a little bit on housing for the low-income population

Studies that are done on the spatial and social analysis strength and limitation of the methodology that we use as well as some references next right so a yeah next yeah okay so the aim of the the vision is always about i always trying to say about my vision on the work that we’ve

Been doing it’s always about this pandemic experience has brought us a lot into having to really um brush ourselves upscale our knowledge into this digital experience here and that is actually being brought into our profession as well okay next so our aim next aim is just to expose and sharing

Session in order to strengthen the relation intertwined between the intangible and tangible properties of the built environment so my tech is always about research and design trying to link up the academy and industry okay next so my pedagogy in architecture as i mentioned to many many of my students

Like i said my work is very much into these um methodology oriented work yeah architecture is hard to me and i always tell my students it’s okay to be lost with that i venture into this business syntax methodology in order to help me to visualize space yeah okay next

So what is space syntax the theory and the method spacing tax is actually from bill cetera next is a science based human sentence yeah human scientific experiment analysis next doctor can you hear me yeah a science-based female scientist a simple word but what it is is this configuration architecture that has been

Designed to professor bill hinder the founder both in their formal and spatial aspects are seen as fundamentally configuration simply means they’re a network of relation between space one space to another between the local and the global context of network okay next next i’ll be very quick because i don’t want to think

So for me the study on the space syntax is about phenomena network of things yeah so it started probably long time ago and it’s becoming more and more um relevance and obvious these days okay and spaces for that for displacing tax theory and method uh is always cut was

Down to the to the fact that spaces can be broken down into components yeah analyzed as networks of choices visibility and those are all the spatial variables being represented as maps and graphs and through the connected to realizing the connectivity and integration of spaces next okay preconception of the space syntax

As many have known the first picture was about people move linearly the second picture is about people interact in combat space the third picture is about people experience space that is isolates yeah so these are three fundamental concept of space syntax next so what space syntax analysis as proof

Uh earlier mentioned yeah about gender equality so space impacts have been used a lot in this kind of analysis as well in terms of patterns realizing the patterns of movement urban growth of course gender equality safety and crime distribution definitely relate to gender on cities as well as building contacts next

So these are just very true very uh also very general uh uh with reference to late professor meanwhile uh the studies on the tape gallery using visual graph integration analysis using space syntax uh realizing the space how people move the first the the the picture on the left is

Actually tracing the pedestrian movement of people’s movement the picture on the right is actually the spatial data in relation to the movement that is actually being observed so that’s how the comparison is placed so spacing text allows us to see the pattern of movement of the life as well as the

The computer simulation on the right telling the same thing describing the same thing what is actually happening on the site next so in our architecture space uh studio next please in our architecture studio uh it’s been about 10 years now since we incorporate the work on the space and tax the

Methodology so it’s by becoming organic growth amongst the students so there’s only four examples here amongst uh apart from many other islamists in time probably i can show more so it’s growing so these are all the interpretation based on the space and tax analysis next

So in our case how does the space and text help the design thinking in our case and how do we relate theory to practice yeah so we always ask this question when we have some kind of work scheme for the students to work on in the studio next nice okay application

Analysis this one i’ll just go very very quickly uh into urban analysis yes next okay special natural analysis our case studies in this case it’s probably important and i hope um counterparts police from india have been to malaysia or if not you’re welcome and hopefully you will see our kuala lumpur

City center and we have very beautiful uh twin petronas tower currently still the highest building in malaysia soon it’s not gonna be yeah so anyway this is our this is our study next yes is our mainstream so this is just a gift on the how we realize the contextual analysis using uh

Excellent excel analysis contextual analysis within the radius five kilometer radius of kuala lumpur city center okay next yeah so this is just a very overview uh the kampung baru on the left and the kuala lumpur city center petronas telegraph so there’s always this contradict of uh horizon of contextual analysis in terms

Of uh pedestrian movement into not just pedestrian social movement activities retail etc etc within the context of the spatial analysis next next okay so basically exa line analysis from the urban analysis using space syntax we can also identify the streets or the patterns of the streets that are actually highly integrated or segregated

Okay next yes okay so the morphology of the structure of the case study that we are doing is actually on jalan anton in front of the polymer city center next sorry dot israel i have to go a bit fast so this is just the very basic morphology of the

Archival materials of the klcc vicinity okay next and this is the current stages next and then we apply speed syntax analysis examination to the left 1957 gallon anton if you can see the red one the very red strip is actually having the five integration value and to the right

One having the lower integration is the same strip yeah meaning that meaning that the the potential and the connectivity in the old days when it was important being diluted being being erased with a new development something like next okay this is just telling what i mentioned earlier next

So how can we adopt this one i have my vision into making our streets always about important spirits to be to to see how it can be more meaningful and more meaningful to the presence to the role it has to serve within the context okay next

And in our analysis we also use uh space and text is very much a spatial calipas spatial configurative configuration configurative variables but we also need to integrate it the analysis with the integration with a non-configurative variable such as static activities simply means the way people sit talk and

Watch along the street so we map them up as well so we relate them and we do the uh the analysis accordingly next next okay yeah go ahead so these are some of the analysis that we have done yeah go ahead just next because i want to show the

The analysis on the visual ground point so the static activities we also follow people on this non-configurative analysis next yeah so we identify from the exit analysis when we do the on the context we identify public spaces we map them out next yes we identify the puffer spaces next

And we layer with the space syntax exile analysis next then we can visualize them 3d this is just some of the next right okay this is some kind of the interpretation that we did in our class for the apollo rumble city center you can see the very very roundabout in the

Middle this is our interpretation on how to include the street structure as well as the context next so into the application into the architectural design process nice uh this is a one of the case studies one of the work that we’ve done spatial visibility of medical spaces we call it

Uh we try to see how high the building can be the scheme can be and so we use the exile analysis as well visual graph analysis into making our form making etc etc okay next all right so of course the framework alpha analysis has to be done next

So these are the process that we’ve done relating the space and tax analysis to the building formation next again the process number one exam map analysis number two representation of spaces through the segment map and exomap number three we do we analyze we explore the spatial form potentials and

Then number four we interpretively interpret it into the model of regression analysis and then we’re testing the formation again next yeah just go ahead this one i’m just going to browse them yeah they’re going to take too much time okay it’s always about relating the global network to the local network into the

Analysis of space syntax you click next yeah so we can find out we can determine identify the value of every script network that we are analyzing next yeah so this is the interpretation the right one the left one is just the uh the google map and the right one is the

Visual graph and assist we can see when the height when the red one is actually most dense area when the blue ones are segregated error et cetera next yeah so in architecture visibility graphness plays a very very important role even amongst our students at the same time next

Okay so we relate all these analysis to the uh to the uh variables to the to the value of the integration value of every street network next yes next these are the samples yes and then we analyze them accordingly next time span etc etc okay this one i’m just

Going to go very very briefly very very quickly notice the room yeah kampung baru uh one of our the next of our case studies kampung baru is the famous urban village hopefully it’s not the last one in kuala lumpur but yeah we we also study in terms of the

Spatial natural analysis and to bring out the spirit of the kampung bar itself so that it will not be disturbed next yeah so we compare the contextual analysis fluidity analysis and we found as well on campus in cambodia cell is is kampung bank is urban voltage so the route the amount of cars

We want to see whether we question whether we want to have the big amount of cars there or or not so these are the questions we always ask when we do our analysis whether we should really have a lot of class in a small version or not i mean

For generally we we may say no but how are we going to prove that so through space and tax analysis at least we have some evidence to argue of the point that we’re trying to make next next okay so this is one of the architectural interpretation into the urban village

We make it we design propose a death the music center for the deaf yeah next okay just go ahead the question here is actually how are we going to relate the death how are we going to make the space to be audible for the deaf so the death is actually

Very very very sensitive very very good in terms of their their visual capacity so how are we going to integrate into our space interpretation as well as the fall making next yeah yeah go ahead uh next don’t forget yes the user studio we analyze all these next through video graph analysis next

Yes this is the software next another one is actually on the we have a very important river as well so we study the uh the context the river on how we’re going to maintain our men how to uh to regenerate the river within the urban village of kampung valley itself as well next

Yes this is the interpretation of architecture interpretation of the area that we are studying next yes we create shortcuts when necessary in order to enhance the product the movement pattern the pedestrian use of the spaces next yes go ahead next just going to browse this yes yeah these are just the process using

The visual graph analysis next like i said i’m quite a methodology oriented kind of person next so these are all just to show you very very briefly the method next computer simulation using the space impacts analysis next so we study study the space arrangement

And all that so we do a lot of testings in this case next yes next main entrance main entrance we do the correlation analysis is this part of the research next yes go ahead yes okay go ahead yes dominant feature how are we going to establish the entrances etc etc so we

Use this method next how many more cut next yeah integration globally next yeah next one it’s okay so is actually on circulation connectivity and the points movement yeah poor placement of the area so we use all these analysis so next so a little bit on housing analysis housing housing studies for the low

Income population relation spatial and social actually and static activities as non-cognitive variables on malay traditional houses using vga overview okay next next one so okay this is the scenario of malaysia low-income population something that we have done the scenario from the 1970s and it comes to now which is 1990s 2014 demolishing demolition

Started to happen a two-bedroom scheme came in and then uh when it comes to the terrace houses completely renovated and all that so we we saw this scenario housing development of measure for the low-income population next so we study the layout using visual graph analysis as you can see the

Original layout on the left on the uh for the terrace housing as well as apartment housing so the below one is the terrace housing the original layout so we study the uh the visual integration using visual graph analysis and we see when the place where the space is becoming renovated it becomes

Is that the changes of color of the density of of the openness is actually changing so that is actually why people people change people people uh people basically renovate their houses mainly yeah because because in terms of space impacts there is depth let’s see it’s a shallow design as well as depth design

So that’s that’s how we analyze it okay next okay so this is also the major problem that uh domestic space for the low income houses are always limited yeah so and they have a lot of static activities uh their own activities that needs to be accommodated which is

Actually not able to okay next and so basically in terms of our work we relate the non-configurative variables which is static activities and the visual graph analysis we compared to the way malay traditional houses are being laid out so we postulate we propose to use this malay traditional houses concept as an

Ideal home design for the low income population regulation next yeah so this is a very general one as well we or we also analyze a few of the many many many actually of the malay traditional houses to see how many of these density how many of these red

Spots can be happening how efficient this space are so 2016 we found out the there are three concept of malay traditional houses having three concept of space as we call it as three special home structure properties being embedded into malay prediction houses and then we discover the genotype

Of naturation problems so we try to advocate to bring this into the design of the low income group population housing land next yeah okay i don’t think i’m gonna go much but of course there is strength and limitation into the work yes on the space in fact analysis uh

Most uh i think one is actually called notable quite very obvious is on the uh how to say it’s on the parameter and then next next on the perimeter of analysis it’s actually lots of uh lots of policy uh trial and error and testing needs to be done and for architecture students and

These are actually not very very familiar to them yeah using space using this uh spatial data simulation as well as a statistic so that’s a little limitation but we’re still working on it okay next yeah yeah the process of the visual graph analysis is actually one of the most very important

Tools students will use in their design decision making next yeah never mind despite compression next as i mentioned earlier spatial design tools visual graph analysis being used as a favorite tools to use by the students next nice never mind i think the typical noise i always try to advocate to the students

Research and design we have to integrate research and design and as we all know we have to strengthen the relation between academic and industry and i tell my students as well we have to trust and believe in research and how we can convince others through using the space impacts analysis next

Yeah references next my references next okay thank you and i have the last one which is actually a video uh two minutes i think if not then thank you so much and i’m sorry to take so much time for the technical issue maybe you can play this for a bit this

Is a visual graph analysis using this uh uh how to say uh agent simulation for the spaces that we have designed so we have to go through we have to obviously to run this analysis as well this is the finished work but before coming to these a lot of work that is

Actually being done in order to support our decision okay with that thank you so much thank you very much all right and thank you very much dr passage for an insightful talk about space syntax methodology as part of the learning teaching and learning in architecture looking at how space

Influence human behavior and movement and the way space syntax being used in helping students in their design thinking and process that’s very interesting thank you dr salwa and now um i would like to invite our third speaker professor meenakshi papu from vellore institute of technology who will be talking about ameliorating urban

Housing the room is yours thank you bro thank you professor am i audible yes you are thank you thank you i shall share my presentation yeah hope my presentation is visible yes we can see your presentation now and it’s it’s in the slide mode yeah thank you now it’s in presentation yeah

Thank you um it’s good afternoon from india and very good evening malaysia um as my topic such as i’m going to talk about urban housing which is the need of our discussion happening on the global platform um everybody’s talking about how well our advent housing need to be designed and how different

Fields integration is happening and discussions are happening between white uh networking so i’ll start with a little bit background about indian cultural heritage which has a wide variety so indian culture heritage has developed as an space where we live where we grow how we live what we eat

What we celebrate so it’s all about which geographical location we are in and how of different geography location actually modified a human settlement and how we evolved from the nature was all about and i’m talking about generation would have seen like who were born in 1970s and 1980 would have seen that

And how the development actually took power and how urbanization actually um affected or you can see intervene in the way we lived and how how we were detached from the culture traditional housing this is a few snapshots uh to the world just to show the diversity of different

Geographical terrains in india and how different general terrains actually shaped our lives or built environment and how our lifestyle was so close to nature how what we take from the nature was given back to the nature in different form a little bit of glimpse i just want to add here

Uh if suppose you’re you live in a heavy uh rainfall areas you had very slow put roofs and suppose you live in area where you have a lot of wood available so your lot of elements in your built environment were made output if it’s cold along with rainy so you had very

Small openings towards the exchanges if you have heavy rainfalls which rainfall actually comes with some term pressure in the hilly areas so you had a raised houses so depending upon the type of location we were our houses are designed to facilitate or to commemorate the the nature itself

You take uh image from nature and you give back for the small example you have um we used to eat on the floor with the palm with the banana leaf so banana leaf is again given to the cattle which are in the house which eat them and the cow dung which is produced

It’s been dried and used as a fire root the ash from the fire place actually used to clean the vessels so the way farms changed the waste is never there was never waste in the cultural way of living the traditional way of living in india so but there is some floods

That you have seen all over the climatic change that is happening the type of disasters that we see in the last 15 to 20 years now it’s very obvious that there’s something seriously wrong happening with the way we lived and the way we adopted it

I read recently in one of the paper that stated that in 1900 china had around 500 plus lakes so it was city which known how to survive or how to preserve water and how it actually grown and the recent study two years back in 2019 the number of count of lakes have come

Down drastically to 40 plus and then whenever there is an issue like and at a natural disaster that hits of any of the urban spaces we start really thinking what actually going wrong and what actually to be done i think it’s like we are not anticipating what is actually going to come we

We need to think our actions and then the repercussions that are going to act on a human um settlement itself so this is a small example of how chennai was in just 70 years back and then how it actually changed the land terrain and how the depreciation of

The agriculture and the green spaces actually came up so what are our cities right now we have a lot of urban sprawls at the fringes and traditional housing is a lot of compromises has happened we see a lot of long high rise towers everywhere and the need of economic weaker section buildings has

Increased the infrastructure comes after the the human settlers are already reached the point the effects of climate change are seen we see that there is a periphery that is created around other cities which actually define the boundaries and there are a lot of surrounding landmasses the fringes are

Actually taken into city hour the period of time the quality of water air and food as extra actually coming down the soil degradation is happening so this is what we are seeing right now so where are we have started and where did we land this is what we are thinking so this is

What we were so we had a site we had proper open spaces we had floors we had kitchen opening onto an kitchen garden or dairy farm then we had proper washing space naturally lit ventilation where our daily routine used to start with the sunrise and complete by the sunset

And how well we used to plan our day time where a little bit of inch out the societies for agriculture based societies and how the agriculture-based societies transformed itself with people who had skill also had agriculture as a background suppose i’m talking about a carpenter carpenter still owned or did

Farming to certain times if i’m talking to potter potter also did for me so this additional skill set which we had to support a society the weaver used to come the mason used to form there is no particular division of saying okay this profession is related to certain community

So our system was so well intact where we actually were self-sufficient all our settlers are self-sufficient and there was the word waste or living close to nature was not a coin to be tossed at our societies we were in nature we were living in line with nature we were not segregated the

Materials that we used are from the where we lived if you’re using mud as your major material to build that means you are in a flat terrain where you need walls where you can actually support and let the outer heat outside and keep the inner cooler

So we were with the nature so once the house is dismantled you can actually reuse every part of the house and so there’s no word waste and there’s no word called sustainability which we are talking so much and present either so there were different spaces both public space private spaces and also

There were semi-public spaces in their house so they were not a multi-functional spaces and i want to add one more important point here because we all talk about furniture indoor designing spaces i always try to go back and check why we never seen a designated dining space designated

Bedrooms why these spaces are never seen in a traditional housing then we realized that kitchen was not only a kitchen kitchen was also a dining space kitchen was also a place where um the preparation for the food preparation for the medical herbs were created where there were spaces within the house where

They used to weave the places where they used to transform the waste or the byproducts of the house into some other elements which can be used by the kids so suppose you have a coconut tree in the house the coconut tree is actually used to support for everything from the

Coconut water to the coconut to the coconut shell the fiber about it everything was used within the house the fiber was transformed into door mats ball curtains hangars everything it is used so a coconut tree in the house is actually supporting the family in so many ways so there is no um

What is the waste that is produced and which actually what most sustainable houses we could ever hear so what’s happening now in the urban houses to get away from the heat we try to do white watch on the roof because we are connected to our roofs

Today we try to give a small micro garden in the house we trying to create small garden spaces which can get shades we try to incorporate solar panels on the roof to have to tell ourselves no we are still doing something to good for the nature uh this small intervention that we are

Trying to adopt in media and even the urban areas a small case study that uh been done in the city called surat where we saw how the rising temperature of surah city actually um affected the livelihood of and common man this surat was affected with very heavy

Heat waves and it went up to 54 degree celsius which is very high and they were that’s due to this so at the time they realized that there’d be something seriously wrong happening the way we are living so then a vulnerability test was done to identify which are the parts of the city

Which are badly affected and they actually understood that when every city is different we can’t have an uniform way of planning and they also understood the need to understand how the locality works what is happening at the lower grassroots levels so they told the problem can be global but we should

Understand how at root level we are actually can address the situation so they started re-addressing all these elements by providing different types of parameters i’ll get back to that but meanwhile i also want to add this one more major parameter can be seen in an urban area so is that

We also understand that there are a lot of measures that bring up by the governments to support the urban poor they caught in urban poor or the slum areas which were they said they bring a lot of health measures starting from natural health policy machines then health training institutions factors that concern increase

Or increase the awareness of people how to take care of the health like where are when we compare with the tradition housing with these slums i we actually missing the major parameter that is called something called uh the the connect between the nature and the human being instead of connecting the

Human being to the nature we try to bring a lot of policy which are only the out of film of any problem we’re not actually understanding the actual core issue of any type of housing so there’s a lot of issues that are spoken so there are something called

Resilience which is widely spoken or discussed or debated in the recent times and sustainability is the word which the whole world is talking about so now what is the resilience it is all about so when you talk about disasters disasters are man-made and also natural occurring resources are there

I want to implement importantly i did one point here we everybody is talking about climate change is happening so we are in the prone of the climate change and we are seeing it it is happening right now and we read a lot of articles on these basis

Uh there is a study recently by a historian who actually connected these climatical change in last 5000 years he also said in his research that this climate change is happening every repeating itself for every 150 to 500 years unfortunately this time the circle has actually moved ahead

We said now we are seeing a climate change in less than 450 years and this is only because of the type of life like type of uh built environment that we have that we have given to the nature and the nature is showing its replications regarding the way we have

Treated it so it’s actually giving back to us so in this scenario so what should we do right now is the question everybody’s asking themselves right now so as we were talking about resilience the result is nothing but we need to anticipate the forthcoming disasters and be prepared

But that is nothing but the resilience sustainability is actually the equilibrium between the time and the space so we need to understand that the ideas and the research management is much more critical in this system the biosystem itself so the resilience and sustainability are actually the two are the same

Uh they’re the true size of the same coin so we need to talk about starting them social to the ecosystem problems in the more potential and dependent on another so quickly and just move towards major parameters of four resilience social economic governance and environmental resilience so any

Social uh resilience i am quickly going to give through some statistics which actually uh gayatri mama has actually given a little agree but i put a little bit more on how the social resilience is actually affecting otherwise it is important so from the demographic graph we have we can see that the

Birth rate is actually coming down and life expectations is actually increasing and the population which are below 60 years in india is quite less and we also seen that the gender variation has been increasing over the years to come we have seen that and i will i

Come back why we need this data and how is it relevant to our uh present study of urban housing as dieter graham rightly said until unless we take into consideration the two both the genders into parameters there are few things can things that cannot be addressed

Like my mom said one of your examples how the neighborhood has been changed after they had done female participation or taken their opinion into consideration so is is the gender only important is something called happiness index that usually come up in the global platform whenever we discuss is

Happiness a separate entity is a part of the life it’s part of a life and globally we have a certain parameters like uh gdp then social support health life expediency freedom to make life’s choice so there are certain parameters under which uh happy index has been uh calculated uh unfortunately india is far

Away from to cross to nowhere close to finland or denmark uh but i checked why before uh preparing this presentation i actually asked my grandfather that um were you happy when you are right he said we never known what to separate happiness is all about we are with

Family we are happy we do work come back rest and we only used to work six months a year six months we’re actually idle and we used to do all types of hand work with friends roam around connect with the nature we used to clean roads we used to maintain our society

Making our society working with society is what used to make us happy and we don’t even know what your people were for five days a week and two days you have holidays and saturday sunday now your work from home made your 24 by 7. we don’t even know what you’re talking about so

The transformation of society is entirely different so parameters there’s a pattern limited defined happiness index okay i that we need to reach check on that okay so i’m saying that every society is different so different indexes can’t be happening but we’re talking a lot of platform that actually like talks about

A different parameters altogether so it’s an economic uh resilient this is important because uh as a taxpayers we all pay tax and our tax fund is expected to be used in developing the infrastructure provide education and health for the people so in india i just quickly want to give an insights

About how unemployment and unorganized sector is actually hindering and how we are seeing it during the knockdown if you see an indian poverty rate in last decade you see that there’s 21 percent and unemployment rate is 50 percent that says that 50 percent of our population is employed unemployed but if you see

Bihar it is one or two people out of thousand and in uh a lot of tribes population is much more higher so ah do you mean that the tribes are more engaged than the farmers and bihar okay let me clarify this tribes do work during 365 days whenever they want food they go

Into for this fetch it come back and survive so does we call them employed the farmer who goes to work under a landlord if it doesn’t have a work doesn’t we call them the unemployed population so you see the variation the way we’re looking at parameters is actually entirely different so uh

When we talk about wealth equality so in on a global platform we can see that india is says that the top one person of a population is is actually wealthier the top and one person so and when we come to individual um this is started within india in last

۶۰ ۷۰ years we see that the population which is below 50 percent in india has been reducing it’s not increasing does the poverty exist because people don’t have money time okay let us think on that okay uh before i come back quickly to the environmental parameters the on a

Global scale it it shows that india’s population around 30 is living in slums slum where are the slums located the slums are located in the major cities and what is happening in the cities what are the population doing in cities in population if you see the population in rural and

Urban population the literature rate in advance is much more higher the death rate in urban area is much more higher sorry lower and the mortality rate in urban areas is lesser then if everything is good in urban areas how come we have 30 percent of slums in india so this is a little

Literally statistic showing how the retrograde between male and female it’s also can see that the gap is coming down and is actually going in a good direction coming to the per capita income for every state as i rightly say right he said just now that uh

The tax taxpayers money need to be used to build the infrastructure of that particular state the highest wealthiest person lives in maharashtra which is in mumbai sorry um uh and do we say that maharashtra is the most wealthiest state but the tax space of maharashtra has been used in formal development between

Up and align and major pradesh so how far is this current i’m raising a lot of questions but i do want to give you some answers before i get into uh conclusion so before getting conclusion i just want to give a little hint of climate change and how the floods are affected

So on a global scale we see that cyclones extreme rainfall heat waves and increasing temperatures are the things which are everybody is facing but we can’t ignore that there is loss of biodiversity happening desalination is happening the rays of sea levels are happening and we’re anticipating by 2050

Most of our cities are going to be under sea and the recently there is a paper which actually spoke about the polar bears and the relocation so what is happening to them so these are one of the global climatic risk that is actually happening right now as we speak as uh mom died

Told that there’s a flood effect in my lecture recently and how things are going bad so it’s it’s like when you’ve seen a global parameter desires are hitting some part of the other throughout the year yes this is what this climate change is happening right now so we need to have a

Parameters which actually talks about so when we talk about different challenges and how to address them we can’t ignore the sdjs so today i’m going to talk about two major techniques which actually talk about the urban population uh population so as urban population as we all know that frankly there are uh

۴۰ percent of population of population are living in urban areas projected data says by another by 2050 we can expect around 80 percent of population living in urban areas so the urban population is increasing and the major cities are actually sinking why they say they are thinking because

There is no space to grow and the infrastructure development that are happening within the urban areas need to be re be looked upon and what type of focus is can you bring in so we also talks we also don’t need to talk about uh we affected

Climate we need to talk about the loss of biodiversity we talk about spatial uh constraints dispos spatial index ratios that one application are going through we also need to talk about the amount of um risks that happens when especially when covet time actually hit the human traffic

We also have seen that uh we also have seen that the amount of if suppose i need to quarantine myself in an urban area because i’m living in maharashtra i need to quarantine myself during the lockdown where do i currently myself do my house have a success place where i can

Quarantine myself so this was the questions to be uh been asked during the lot but mostly when the uh pandemic actually affected the urban urban population and everyone is talking about bringing back green into the houses and also they were talking about bringing up terrorist ecosystems we need to manage forests we

Need to replant the trees how to combat with and how to reverse the forest uh the land degradation and so and also a city number 15 also talks about the five fees of sustainable development the people planet prosperity peace and partnership they’re all interrelated to one another

No one survives with without one another so the role of spatial planning on the local level is very important the climate resilience and the practices starting from agriculture reducing greenhouse gases increasing forest cover lease land use change and the last but most important the water management so when we talk about green

What type of green are we talking here we need to increase the green plot ratio instead of just planting on the proof terraces because in the urban area when we are going vertical the amount and size of groups are less so we need to find a way to integrate green plot ratio

Into the urban urban developing sites we have seen few examples in european countries where they actually did it successfully but we also read the repercussions of the nature when integrated in the vertical platform what is happening so there are we are still in the process of learning through how to integrate

Them all together so in in between all the resilience uh happening and sustainability and so when you talk about how to balance between brazilians and admin sustainability there is something called passive and active modes that we need to talk about and rationally rational elements one second my slide is not moving

One second it’s something happened okay i’m sorry bro yeah sorry it’s okay we have about uh two more minutes for you i am having two more minutes yeah all right thank you yeah uh the difference between advent resilience and advanced sustainability the urban resilience is a passive process of monitoring and facilitating

And maintaining the covering of virtual circle between ecosystems and human wellbeing through the concerned effects under external influencing factors so when we talk about advanced sustainability we need to make sure that there is an active process which actually synchronizes and integrates co-evaluation between the subsystems making the city without compromising the possibilities

Of development and surrounding areas of contributing the means towards election of harmful effects and development of biodiversity thank you all right um thank you professor minaji papu um on your sharing in improving urban housing in understanding spaces between traditional and modern housing and also from the environmental parameters that

Mainly responses to climate resilience and sustainability okay um we have come to our last speak of the session today which is architect samsaya abdullah and which she will be presented a topic about needs for social neighborhood space in affordable housing a case study so the room is yours actor thank you

Okay hi uh everyone uh all my colleagues uh the students and also can you hear me yes thank you all right thank you um let’s i just continue uh the students and also um our uh friends uh from uh sassy and also uh balor um

Okay so basically um i only have uh 30 slides and most of them’s uh pictures so i’ll be very quick don’t worry um so what i’m presenting or what i’m sharing today is basically part of my research for my phd title interpretation of neighborhood social space structure and intervention in vertical

Affordable housing in jojobaru so today is basically my case study on social space so basically on the needs of social space in affordable housing i think i go to slideshow okay perhaps now you can see a bigger view on the slides okay so um the research is basically uh

The background of the research i’m sorry about the noise i think uh in this area there are a few glories going uh doing the loading and unloading so you might hear the background noise a bit uh so uh the basis of the study is basically um

Referred to the dasa or the policy of uh housing uh in malaysia which is a dasa pro mahan nagara 2018 to 2025 and also affordable housing 2019 and also a housing policy in johor iskandar malaysia so um first we go to the interpretation or definition of uh affordable housing

Uh basically if we refer to u.n habitat 2011 it defined it defines affordable housing as a home that meets the basic needs of the people and then if you ask radar radar is one of the Authorities that actually handle housing in malaysia it says that i’m sorry some of the quotes are in malay some of uh if we ask radar the the definition of affordable housing is basically houses that are below the price below 300 000 malaysia ringgit and uh also if we ask the uh

United nations human settlement program 2011 it says that affordable affordable housing is defined as a house that meets the needs in terms of quality and location is affordable and the buyer of the house still has the financial ability to buy his other basic necessities yeah so for me i think it’s very general

And it also leads to because my focus focus on my study is on a social space yeah and in malaysia basically um the focus is more on house ownership i think everybody knows that yeah and in fact in malaysia the perception of whereby if you don’t own her a house

Basically you are not there yet you don’t achieve yet you are not successful yet and similar to other countries like china i was told that uh especially in shanghai if you don’t own a house basically nobody wants to marry you it’s a guy like it’s the guy thing okay

So it’s uh basically a scale uh to determine whether you are successful or not or whether you are eligible or not to get married yeah so uh in terms of a social space yeah basically uh since i mentioned just now that the focus is more on housing ownership

Yeah so the in fact the previous government actually are targeted uh in providing like uh 300 units 300 000 units of houses for uh affordable housing and i think up to up till now they only achieve like one third of the target and by doing so also the the provision is basically

The cookie cutter concept if you have heard that before is basically one size fits all or one design actually forced to be accepted to everybody so the owners or the buyers uh interpretation of a nice or of a comfortable housing quality housing is not defined uh

And then uh basically since i said i focus on uh social space so the interpretation of a social space in affordable housing if you refer to the policy is basically um it is basically interpreted as a public facilities yeah so public facilities as one of the components in affordable housing

Uh and basically no complete interpretation of guidelines and guidelines for social space provision and then it uh has been interpreted literally as facilities community facilities uh as child care surround or the prayer area or depending on the size of population children playground and also the community hall yeah so it is all

Segmented and it depends on the designer to where to actually place it so the problem statement is basically a recent quantitative research has shown that the typology of affordable housing fails to respond to household demands where current housing designs are cost oriented without considering the social social spatial impact and

Neighborhood that can foster well-being and sustainability and the current housing design is incapable of responding and addressing social and municipal issues especially on issues of social cohesion social and economic empowerment defensive space and social spatial and thirdly the social spatial design of existing affordable housing neighborhoods does

Not take into account the needs of residents and literally address the needs of the planning aspect without creating a user friendly and user sorry a user-friendly environment and also when i said when we talk about affordable housing in malaysia the there are categorization of uh the income income group and the categorization of

Community according to income group yeah so it’s basically how much you earn monthly yeah so basically the categories there’s three categories yeah so b40 m40 and t20 yeah so below 40 a bottle 40 medium 40 and also t20 uh top 20. so um basically uh the the problem or the issues uh normally

Relates to the p-40s and the m40 yeah so for the t20 basically there’s no um housing uh provision or subsidies or anything because t20 are those people who can afford to you know uh go overseas travel they can afford to uh basically uh have their own leisure paid

Leisure times and so on yeah so it’s not an issue and they can actually afford luxury homes perhaps if you are actually at d2 level yeah so uh in this case uh in relation to a housing provision p40 is normally uh the provision is basically for uh

Social housing uh ppr which is meant for the lower income group housing uh poor housing for the poor and they also call it or punjab the long house the longhouse concept is example concept perhaps now uh there’s no more roma and uh in fact uh just now in in dr sharif

Slides uh you can see uh the earlier uh typology of public housing or social housing in malaysia and they actually started with two bedroom units and after that it was proven that it’s not suitable it’s not conducive uh for a big family or a normal family

In fact so they changed to the three bedroom units yeah and also the second one is the m40 or the uh medium 40 yeah uh that they call affordable housing which i’m focusing on which is the cost about less than 300 000. uh before this they uh set the

Limits of uh set the cost up to uh 200 000 i think 200 000 but uh there are feedback from the developers that they cannot meet that price yeah and some of the housing affordable housing schemes that produce are even higher than 200 000 yeah and then the t20 of course of

Bungalows and condominiums yeah so um i think uh the other uh speakers also talk about sdg sustainability development goals uh 2030 so in relation to housing basically we are talking about the sdg 11 which is sustainable cities and communities which relates to 11.1 which is ensure excess safe housing

Or services and for the social space perhaps refer to 11.7 which is provide access green public spaces and uh basically 11.3 also talk about enhanced inclusive and sustainable urbanization that’s also related to affordable housing and also social impression and also social space and uh before i forgot it actually i i

Uh um it’s interesting to uh listen to professor gayatri because um actually last month i also talked about gender gender equality and gender equality on architect malaysia or architect malaysia association and to listen to uh talk on uh housing yeah uh is very uh uplifting and also to see the issues in

Other countries is also refreshing yeah so uh basically uh since my uh topic is related to social space uh basically social space actually encourage a social interaction so the definition of social interaction is association between two or more individuals which includes both verbal and non-verbal communication such as

Body language that is put from jager 2010 social interaction is the foundation of community and society according to dempsey 2011 and it’s a critical factor in achieving a higher level of social sustainability so basically if there’s no uh social interaction there will be no such that there’s no social space perhaps

It’s uh social interaction will be limited and it’s very difficult to achieve social sustainability yeah so among three uh dimensions of social aspect of sustainability is uh the social aspect of sustainability is the hardest to implement because it is the most challenging to define and measure yeah although the implications of social security

Sustainability vary the goal is to create attractive and socially successful uh societies yeah we tend to uh sort of like measure everything uh you know the green building you know uh i mean the happiness index yeah we like to do that yeah but basically seeing a a an attractive uh and

Uh socially successful societies uh uh basically you can actually observe every uh perceive it yeah and then uh also the issues here are height and social interaction because i’m dealing with a vertical communities of vertical housing so basically living high above the ground is the biggest feature of high

Rise residential building according to shunt in 2004 the height of high-rise residential building is defined as being more than 24 meters uh which is according to the country’s national building code or even more than 100 meters yeah the higher the residents live above the ground the weaker their perception of the ground environment

Tends to be according to gel uh 1996 and this is actually supported by 1978 if i’m not mistaken perhaps in the latest like you can see um and uh of course i’ll be talking about case studies and uh actually there are two of the case studies is basically not an affordable housing they are actually social housing which is apartment bank and also banks apartments yeah

Uh and uh one of the case studies which is pasa puri de sadatto has now is it’s actually affordable housing so the first two was chosen because i want to show the actual or the critical issues relating to the housing condition and also the social space itself and why social space

Adequate provision of social space cannot be achieved okay these are the three case studies i will start with and then okay this is lambasso bang which is a social housing uh basically the provision of play area here or the social space here is basically uh on the ground floor whereby they have this

Green uh field that is called play area or or uh field yeah and it was left for the community on how to use it at first yeah and then the the unit itself the typical layout of units of course there will be like three bedrooms and uh two bathrooms uh so the

Main bath main bedroom will have its own bathroom and the other rooms the rest of the house will share one bathroom and you have kitchen and sometimes you also have like a balcony or you have a backyard next to the kitchen okay so this is how it looks if you look

At the picture on the left with the lady in the black you can see that is how the internal space looks like and for those who were born i think in the 70s might know who this lady is uh i think malaysia’s like malaysian yeah malaysians born in before or just after 1970s

Yeah okay um okay so this is the general scenario of a ppr housing yeah so basically on the left basically all the houses are creeped agreed installed there at the entrance way for safety but at the same time it doesn’t sacrifice the cross ventilation yeah basically most of the time the grid

Design is typical some of them actually go to their stand that it was add-on yeah and to the extent that it is designed as a swing grille swing door grill that sometimes will obstruct the passerby and the kitchen space which can only house a small fridge counter space for food preparation and

You can see at the back there you can see the clothes uh hanging yeah because there’s no proper the prop the drying yard it was meant for drying yard but at the same time if you can see you can look further the yard space they actually turn into cooking area because

The kitchen is very small yeah so uh if you look at the developers uh brochures you won’t be able to see the layout for the overall flow because uh most of the time there was no provision for any social space or any space that the Occupants or the tenants can actually share and have a social interaction and if you look at the external view of yacht space where extension of free space made for cooking and drying area grill would also then installed to prevent thieves from entering the house through yard space i don’t know how

Thief is going to enter but that’s what they did like perhaps there are precedents which happens before and that makes them insult the grief or perhaps it’s just uh their insecurity whereby the needs for security grills and let them to install the grill at the outer side

And also you can see also common corridors as blankets enclose drying area and you can see that the clothes are hanging or dry from the windows unique windows area and common corridors act as a clothes drying and storage space also sometimes they put bikes uh they put uh like

Uh shoe cabinets and so on yeah uh so if you can see the width of the corridor is also minimum width according to the uh uh our bylaws yeah so the developers won’t uh are not ready or not willing to spend more money to provide bigger corridors

Not only that the unit size is small but also that the outers outer outer space is also very restricted okay so um after the uh some years pass actually there are efforts from the ngos uh or private companies to actually come and uh try to regenerate rejuvenate the area by providing you

Know a sports field uh or and a playing field and even later on we can see through other case studies that they uh basically the the effort from uh not the deliver the developer but from other people other other institutions to actually come down and and and trying to uh

Replenish uh whatever that is lacking um and for this dpr lumbazuban there’s a second phase uh we built and this time actually at 35 000 per unit but equipped with a community hall sports field surround or player area child care parking shop management shop and management office according to the general

Guidelines or the the housing policy 2018. and uh now the second case studies um uh this is apartment this is affordable housing but what you can see is it’s not much different from the social housing or lumbar subang it’s just that the difference in the size and plus perhaps they have more

Yard space attached to it and and also yeah the unit size is bigger and uh these are the surrounding area uh the open car park yeah and uh but uh what i can see is they have a quite uh adequate number of car parks if compared to uh lambastopan area

Uh and actually i have a video on a lambasoobang project but i i think uh perhaps later on you just can share the slides or you can play uh later okay um and in this apartment it was equipped with a play area but you can see that there’s nobody playing or no people

Around the area because this photo is taken during the mco so perhaps most of the people are inside the units yeah and then what is typical uh what is typical is that uh the housing vertical housing uh concept uh or the vertical housing design is that um

They always have this ground floor empty yeah uh and normally on daily basis it was used as motorcycle parking space but uh perhaps in a certain occasion they can be an event space also where they have uh the community can have their uh weddings or birthday celebrations or community gatherings and so on

But it was a very basic and very minimum simarinda kind of space and so on and uh if you can see here there are also pocket spaces pocket space where for me i think it’s a miss opportunity because it was left unused and if for me i think if it’s treated

Properly it can be a good potential for social space and to encourage a social interaction and with a poor management and also poor workmanship also you can see that the the housing quality is deteriorating uh because you can see here it was built without apparent so whenever it rains it

Splashed to the walls and then it got these molds on the wall i was told that this building is uh occupied in 2018 yeah so it is basically is a very recent project so uh it is surprising that the building actually you can see if you go closer

You can see that the building is deteriorating and um okay and these are other spaces it was supposed to be like green or landscape area for the community but there was no allocation or no provision in terms of a design and also it was not included in the contract original

Contract of the housing so it was left just a space a bad space so you can see that the rubbish being done of course is poor management but and also i i don’t like to talk about the management side of it but when you talk about housing

Whether you like or not the management part also have to come in yeah whereby if you give it to a good management this kind of problem will be won’t be facing this kind of problem okay and you can see that the the pigeon hole or the mailbox area

Becomes a place to put all furnitures corridors without proper treatment to encourage interaction um so basically if you see that that that’s not much different from uh lambasso bang the the one that i showed previously is just that the space allocation is bigger so that perhaps creates

Opportunity but this uh it is actually a missed opportunity where it’s not being utilized okay and a provision of open corridors where it allows for ventilation and alternative usage of space people put store uh people treat it as storage space and also dry in space again but uh

Actually there’s an argument whereby uh uh circulation space is some people or some literature we say that uh uh uh corridor space is actually a transition space which is suitable for play and interaction and some literature some scholar says that it’s not uh okay and

I uh okay this is uh the leaf lobby you can see how how huge it is but there’s no um activities there’s no treatment whatsoever so again it’s a missed opportunity it can be an ideal source of social space or social interaction perhaps it can have it at every level where they put

Seedlings and so on so that the people people can actually use it as a gathering space or social space and at some houses you just ignore the two ladies in the photo Okay uh so those uh you can see at some uh houses they can even use it to put uh their pets they put their cats there and see things on the uh outside perhaps uh in the evening they can have a cheat check uh they can interact with the neighbors and so on

Yeah so um okay so this one basically the reason why i choose this case study is to show uh the lengthy original rejuvenation project done by uh instituting iskandar utm and a collaborative effort basically with a subang municipal council to regional rejuvenate and empower the community towards a sustainable neighborhood so basically uh

Similar to lambasso bang but this one is a medium rice or all low rise it’s uh consists of a six story height and uh basically it was bad it’s just the units and you have the field you have the ground floor for uh the community to use

Yeah so when isi or institute within iskandar uh when there we think about uh rejuvenation and also empowerment so okay this is roughly how uh the the overall layout but the rejuvenation process i think uh dr cairo if dr cairo is here is best to speak about this

Project because uh it was done conducted when dr cairo is uh in institute in scandal so basically if you can see all the three uh schemes uh have this uh similar you know uh empty ground floors for those for the social space yeah uh for these flats or this apartment is okay

Because it’s low rise but for lombard it doesn’t work out well because it is a vertical uh housing consists of i think 20 story high so it’s too high yeah and the provision of the open space on the ground floor is basically not enough okay so in in malaysia we call this

Space as colom yeah uh okay so these are part of the literature that i got from the book that i institute sudan iskandar produced basically to regional urbanate the area so that it also can empower the community uh in a sense that when the design of these houses uh bear and uh

Not thinking about social space in detail perhaps they just assume that okay you have this typical layout and have the ground floor for the community to use and it’s good to go yeah but it’s not yeah uh so uh this uh buket puchong area buket buchang project was uh occupied i

I i can’t remember how for how long but there was no effort uh of uh you know uh making it look nice uh for the people so that that that space become their space to you know interact and work together as a community to enjoy the space and to have a sustainable living

So after institution iskandar comes in there are lots of programs being introduced that the creation of space and community participation in design and implementation of the spaces and creation of space through collaborative effort being done and in fact this project has uh received an award uh i can’t remember the name of

The award but this is a very significant project which has become a precedent to all okay so uh and the other one is that i want to bring uh attention to everyone is that the effort from a local authority uh which is kuala lumpur in uh and in addressing the issue of uh

Facilities yeah because they they actually look at it as facilities uh the co-long area or the ground floor space being empty uh it was supposed to meant for social activities but there’s no social activities being done being being held other than perhaps uh the wedding candori and so on

And uh what they did is basically to inject in new activities uh new activities uh uh to to support the children uh in this social housing this one is in uh ppr challenge and the other one i think uh it’s almost similar design uh the other one is lisa dunraza yeah so

Basically in providing a library for the community to actually use it for tuition and also there’s also spaces for management office because there will be a management committee to actually manage the rental or the uh the maintenance of the houses and i think this is a great effort yeah

But if you look at all three yeah if you look at three case studies uh an ideal uh social space won’t be achieved unless a local authority or third party comes in and interfere or do the intervention okay so okay um i’m going to wrap up ready don’t worry

The success of the schemes actually relies on effective control and enforcement by the authority they cannot do it themselves however it can be improved by tackling on design elements architectural whereby a revised typical unit layout plan and typical details can be proposed yeah so i do strongly agree with this

Because if the design for the social space were injected in at the early stage of the design then the government i mean by the developer then the government later on who take over the management of the housing won’t actually have to fork out you know uh more uh to be financially burdened by

Providing all the facilities yeah and basically provision housing safety and provision of public amenities are the two most important factors and then these two factors are actually below satisfactory level by uh basically the surveys that have been done and then uh analytical approach is by handling the facts and improvement

Schemes on these two factors may improve the degree of satisfaction on the existing low-cost ppr flags but as i said it was like a a later on intervention to actually equip or facilitate whatever the the shortcoming uh so another another thing another finding from the literature is that i

Want to quote is basically the building height and the ground activities yeah so in the three cases uh three case studies all of them relies on the ground activities or the ground social space yeah but in this literature uh zini 2018 and also lee 1987 it says that it

Only effective up to a fifth or sixth floor whereby the upper floors won’t be actually appreciating the ground uh activities anymore and also uh the impact of the level of neighborhood whereby you uh we actually categorized as neighborhood level one two and three to consider uh the allocation of uh

Social space yeah if it’s too big then you might need more social space something like that okay so in summary from the identified case studies it is concluded that the current housing provision neglected the social space needs and even in cases where there are sufficient proficient allocation allocated still requires

Management intervention as to community participation and control and detail design of the allocated space to make it successful therefore the social space design requires proper planning and the relationship between physical space and social behavior is described in different ways by various disciplines and research based on environmental psychology and sociology identifies

Social activities as a type of outdoor activities which is influenced by number of physical conditions with different level and type of activities have been having very different demands on physical environment social activities are all the activities that depend on the presence of others in public space

According to gail 2001 and i also do agree on the uh cultural you know when when most of the people who live in the social housing they are basically some of them not all perhaps are from the squatters or and previously perhaps they are from the village or outskirts of kuala lumpur

And so on so they we have this cultural uh what we call it cultural uh and also social behaviors our own social behaviors how we eat how we greet people how we meet how we do things yeah but when you they move into this social housing basically they

Have so like they have to leave it behind okay and you have to leave it within this new environment and um and it is actually surprising when i talk to uh people my friends in kuala lumpur they all they did the management of this ppr housing they said that in

Fact when the the the tenant want to uh go in uh when they get the key uh before that they actually have to go these courses on how to actually uh live within the new environment yeah so they so that they can adapt but it’s true yeah so and again the

Pandemic situation also forced us to relook at the idea and planning for social space provision and basically the video that i’m saying just now is about the the situation during the pandemic whereby a family of four and six uh have to make do with the uh

To live within the box yeah i called the housing unit as of course so i think uh that’s that’s all from me and uh i hope that um and i think uh it’s very interesting to hear from uh professor minaji just now on on housing and basically if uh

Possible or if there’s any opportunity for collaboration on research uh i’m willing to you know collaborate yeah so um i think that’s all from me thank you all right um thank you akita samsiya for an interesting sharing on case studies looking at the way social neighborhood space is designed and utilized in

Affordable housing in malaysia again thank you to all our speakers today now um we have come to question and answer session um we have a few questions for all the speakers so let me read the first question it’s for professor gayatri if referring to indian culture and architecture does the traditional indian

Architecture showed design aspects that respects the woman’s need okay dr sura that is actually a controversial question but that’s fine see uh partially i would say yes but uh most of it it was kind of no because we are actually referring to the indian traditional architecture and you’re talking about respect to women’s

Needs so it is most of its know but i would like to compare that or add that on to the question three i can see it here which says that uh does the respect towards women needs also is reflective in india and modern settlements for instance modern housing hundred percent yes

Right now there is a lot of improvement because as i said uh ladies have come out in a lot of ways so education health in every sector we are there and it is not about that we are talking about designers planners in general when we talk about ladies yes the the respect is

Seen for example even when we teach design we talk to the students because they’re talking about modern housing even it is a residential design they come up with a big uh what to say 10 feet by 12 feet or 15 bit by 16 feet kitchen the first question

Which we ask is have you checked the work triangle the lady of the house did you talk to the person did you talk to your own mother how much would she walk because most of the time whether the mother is working or a housewife doesn’t matter she’s the one who’s in all the

Spaces inside the house so yes the woman’s need is taken care of and there are certain firms in india which actually cater to the woman’s needs all right thank you professor gayatri for your answer um yeah sure we should move to the second questions um which is for dr shalifa

It was a good insightful presentation and sure was a learning experience how do you foresee the utilization of appropriate space syntax for premium and complex projects like airports and hospitals etc okay hi uh hi again thank you for the question right how do i foresee it and complex project is actually very

Useful is actually um how can i say um such as hospitals such as bridges uh i’d like to direct you the attention to the building of the milan bridge if anybody familiar with that in london the millennium bridge was actually designed before it was designed the research of the space impacts came in

And i was lucky enough to get involved a little bit of it but at least i got involved with fosters and companies what it is it was just simply a simple quite a very basic one a very simple uh exile analysis spanning the river of terms the thames river

Uh trying to connect between the two uh landmark neutral landmark which is actually the central cathedral which is like on the north bank and the tater gallery which is actually on the south bank it was just purely a pedestrian bridge using space impacts exit line analysis in trying to reduce or enhance increase

The connectivity reduce uh reduce the um the segregation but increase connectivity just using uh by having that bridge mainly for participants so it’s very very important very very significant and very highly impactful the very very first day of its operation the millennium bridge was uh about one thousand sorry one million people

Uh actually crossing the bridge because it was like quite a kind of uh something that has been long overdue that kind of structure to help ease the mobility for the pedestrians and foster cyclists as well so another one is actually on the trafalgar square i don’t have the slice here

You know i didn’t have a slice here used in my other lecture father square and if i believe some of us are familiar with travagi square the alphabet fronting the national gallery uh of the trafalgar square is actually it was at first it was just uh not the pedestrian streets

And the route coming down towards the trafalgar’s by itself was uh actually not very accessible and once the uh spacing tax tools come in and spacing toxicity doesn’t just work alone it is also accompanied here we supported by the observation of people’s behavior on the street itself physical observation

And once the area was being modified in accordance to excel analysis some other choice method as well as the observation data and the whole uh the full liveability the flow space is transformed more livable and is easy it’s actually very easy to give you know enhanced accessibility

For people actually in there did i answer the question another one is hospitals of course currently i’m also involved in one work on hospital design looking at the importance of these um a e yeah the ame which is actually a emergency you know area of emergence accident and emergency area and we have

Had a problem last time in jafar the stevia rim is also this one is in classification pasigudan there was a river kind of a river in classic buddha in one of the districts is actually being polluted and those people being transferred to the hospital and they were being uh it’s actually ambulance

Being brought to the ame accident and emergency area and the problem is with the layout of the of the ame area itself it’s not really carefully tabulated or calibrated in terms of the people’s movement and the layout so there is actually inside and outside were also affected by the chemical uh

Uh what they call it uh uh sorry what you call it the evaporation something like that so that is actually very it helps in a certain way to understand the movement pattern uh in this case to describe this place and help explain what is actually happening in terms of the layout the

Structure of the layer of space yep that’s my my answer thank you all right thank you dr sharifah there’s another question for you um it is very interesting using space syntax for doing research in understanding planning what is the level of accuracy accuracy in terms of finding using space syntax

Method and to what level does it gives real reliable data if using space syntax as a single tool in conducting research it’s a very very interesting and intelligent question so that’s the above uh space syntax is never it’s never a single tool yeah it’s never a single tool it needs to be accompanied

With the physical data which is actually the movement platform or the mapping of the retail localities as well as crime localities in the mapping area in the ma in the area that we are mapping also the layouts of the buildings that we are mapping yeah and currently as well uh

Space impacts have been practicing on this integrated integrated urban modeling the single tools of space impacts are being used uh using death analysis within the deafness software itself there are variables there are a few variables of uh spatial variables but these spatial variables does not really it’s only

Giving us a very um primary a very basic description of how the space is like and what is likely to happen if we might modify the spaces so it is never really a single tool it needs to be used within with other kinds of data social data configurative data as well as non-configurative

Data yeah but it does help you know in terms of the accuracy i think somebody mentioned about the accuracy of the findings it can never really be that accurate but i think so far it has been i can say it has been quite 95 accurate in terms of the data spatial data it

Produced i’m sorry saying about the spatial data alone alone i am not talking about the social data though it is actually being supported by the social data or any retail data based on the research that we are pursuing okay thank you all right thank you dr sharifah okay um

There are two questions for professor meenakshi the first one is in your opinion what is the best practices to design place that we live in as there are many factors nowadays that change the mindset of designers for instance much focus on profit making rather than the fulfilling

The needs of the people culture or tradition and the second one is one of the most challenging things right now in achieving the targets of these sdg by 2030 is funding what is your opinion will what in your opinion will be the right or few of the right ways to enhance funding

To ensure housing demands are met because ameliorating urban housing never look an easier thing that’s that’s that’s true yeah i totally agree with that um the world around right now is actually uh coming up the common senses that uh when we actually design a project there should be a negotiation between individuals institutions

And also there should be a collective uh unborn context as a planning then initiating them then projects are concealed then discussions happen then the implementation happens so what happens is there are a lot of different elements which actually come together and integrate into finding a right solution at the local level i think

That’s the way we designers will now have to look up this is happening in a lot of western countries um when we show the happiness index the top con socket is in canada and in canada also these things happen but they actually discuss discuss with the public

What they want how they want and then design i think if that practice actually comes back to the society which was once part of the society in india if that comes back i think we are actually addressing a lot of major issues regarding design of an individual it may be an individual house

Type of spaces we need in the type of social interactive spaces we need around the house at the neighborhood level and also at the city level so that’s that’s when yes funding is the problem let’s say the world goes to attain by 2030 um suppose if we actually start planning at the

Local level i think a lot of community activities can move with the help of the community itself so if i take the responsibility of my community well-being then i’m actually contributing to my society so if the contribution is there funding comes the second important thing so sense of responsible to the community

Should be given to take the ownership of the areas and i think by doing that the funding and achieving uh advocation of weapon housing is not too far ago yeah but it will take time community is just now realizing it responsibility take time good things always take time agree on that thank [Laughter]

Yes we have another questions for architect samsaya in your opinion in malaysia there are many cultures like chinese malay and india hence this may affect planning of the housing what is the best approach is to design affordable housing to cater for the needs of various different culture groups as the main problem about

Housing is on costing within the street layout size and parameter costing is actually the major hindrance that does not allow designer to explore in design what do you think yeah uh dr israel i do agree with that uh basically the terms uh social housing and also affordable housing is basically

I think in my personal opinion uh actually a derived from uh ringgit malaysia or costing yeah so that actually uh forced the government to actually categorize as you know categorize the funding for the social housing and affordable housing because by categorizing it they will actually the government can actually decide on how

Much subsidy they can actually put in that group of housing yeah but of course there are pros and cons to it as we said just now uh it’s a basically a cookie cutter concept of housing whereby uh you get one design and it’s supposed to be it is going to

Be forced to everybody to accept it and uh even as you said in malaysia there are chinese there are indians and also malay we all have a different cultural practice cultural background social background yeah but when we actually forced to move in not i i don’t like to

Use the word forest when you because you buy or you buy those housing units and thinking that it’s going to be okay it’s going to be a workout but the the social social spatial issue issues or social space issues were not considered together with the unique design

So in that sense you are sort of like your family were forced to be in that shoebox and when you go out you have to actually interpret or recalculate or re-imagine the new social practice or social or to actually negotiate on your neighbor’s social practice yeah so you are actually creating a community

But as a professor monarch she said just now it takes time one it takes time for us to adapt or perhaps we fail to adapt and we have to rethink on how to actually provide a housing uh provision that actually fits each cultural values for example if you are malay i did

An article about malay houses and also the the modularity of malay houses basically uh for your information the malay houses is actually modular in terms of the measurement not the two-dimensional or three-dimensional measurement but for the kitchen it’s not modular because why the kitchen is always left to the

Ladies or the house to decide how it’s going to be yeah that’s the beauty of it yeah but when these houses vertical houses come in you just you know rely on minimum size in the ubl okay so that is the difference a huge jump that we basically as a society have to accept

Whether you like it or not so there should be a change in that yeah but of course when we want to change there’s also another factor that we have to think of the developer might say that oh i will get less profit the government said oh the project we delay because of

The negotiation process and the architects we say oh it’s gonna take how many years you know to actually entertain the public the demand from the user and at the end of the day the occupants will say oh how long am i going to wait for

For me to get the key you know so we have to negotiate those issues okay all right thank you thank you for all the questions given to our honored speakers today unfortunately i have to close the q a session as we have reached the time given

And to those who have yet to fill in the attendance link in the chat box please fill in so that we can send you the webinar e-certificate later yeah and then uh before we end the session i would like to ask all the attendees to switch on

Your cameras so that we can take a screenshot photos of your session today to commemorate the international webinar series number four all right um it’s my little one one two three right thank you very much um with that we have come to the end of the session again um on behalf of the

Organizer program of architecture uni university technology malaysia i would like to thank all our speakers for our interesting and insightful sharing today thank you professor gayatri dr sharifah professor meenakshi and architects i really appreciate you joining us today and uh thank you to the audience as well

Um it was a pleasure to have all or all of you with us today and please tune in for our next international webinar series number five that will be coming up uh at the end of this month yeah on the 28th of december um we will share the late the details later
