Site Analysis
The site is located beside the studio HBP. The existing site is covered
with peat soil and only some trees was planted at the
site. There is no shady area nearby the
site and it is exposed directly to sunlight all day long. As there is traffic
near the site, so the noises will cause
disturbance to sound system. Besides, facilities and buildings nearby the site are well maintained with adequate
cleanliness.
Elevation Section

stage is designed based on the shape
with the combination of cross sectional structure of coconut leaves. The real view of this stage is alike
structure that cover with several coconut
leaves.
Floor Plan
It is proposed to develop a user
friendly amphitheatre. The stage is designed based on universal design concept.
This amphitheatre is designed with a floor ramp that enable the disable people to
use it though. The seat for disable audience is design near to other audience
so that all the audience can communicate well during the performance.
The seat of
audience is surrounded by buffer zone which consist of trees. It can provide
enough oxygen to the audience. Beside that, the buffer zone also can overcome
the problem of noising. the arrangement of trees is located surrounding the
seat of the audience are giving a good impression and comfortable environment.
