HEPTEX
Heptax is a multi-disciplinary housing, building and
planning firm that aspire to find greater meaning in all of our actions and are
never satisfied with the status quo. The five purposes below are the
fundamental values of our practice. These values are more than abstract
beliefs: they are the foundation for what drives all of us in all our actions
and at every level of our group.
The unity from our multi-disciplinary team allows us to
imagine designs that will challenge the status quo and to achieve high quality
in building construction. The two leafs in the middle of our logo represents
unity. Gold is used to shows our ability to achieve high standards.
Site analysis
site location, land use and traffic
The proposed site for the amphitheater is located on an open
space, hill slope next to the School of Housing, Building and Planning (HBP) in
Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM).
To examine the traffic, all roads leading to the proposed
site were examined and road category determined.
Next to the proposed site is Jalan Canselori which is a street road that has
relatively slow traffic compared to other roads in the university. The main
users of this road are students and staff from the School of HBP. It is also a
road that can be accessed by the local university bus system. Hence, the
visitors to the amphitheater will not have problem getting there via public
transport. In fact, there is a bus stop at the entrance to the proposed
amphitheater site.
To the other side of the proposed site is a building for HBP
as well as an electrical house and water tank. The area behind the electrical
house and water tank is the USM boundary, which runs along a major, busy road,
Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah. Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah is a leading road to the Bayan
Baru, Penang FTZ area. As such, the site is affected by noise from Jalan Sultan
Azlan Shah road. Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah is an arterial road that leads to
Jalan Lim Chong Eu freeway as well as to Penang Bridge.
The sun path was investigated between 8-10am and
after 4pm. Our assumption is that these are the hours where events are most
likely to place at the amphitheater. Assuming our stage and amphitheater will
be sea front facing, the sun will rise from the left of the stage and set on
the right of the stage. As such, we are not typically concern as to whether to
orientate the amphitheater to be perpendicular to Jalan Canselori or
perpendicular to the nearest HBP building.
The drainage is located on the top of the slope near Jalan
Canselori. This drain is sufficient to accommodate the rainwater even during
the monsoon season.
Most of the vegetation that exists in this area is palm tree
and rain tree. The palm tree has been on the proposed site for more than 20
years while the raintree is at least 60 years old. The trees do not really
provide any shades as they are sparsely grown. The distance between one tree to
another is at least 5-10meters. Due to the maturity of the tree, we have
decided to keep the trees as part of our landscape.
Step lighting will also be installed on each step of the
staircase to keep patrons safe when it is dark. Street lighting will be
installed around the amphitheater to keep the area bright in the evening.
Building construction for stage
roofting and side walls
Here are the following materials required for stage roofing.
The curve shaped roof will be supported by both the right and left wall panels.
Top steel plates will be used to fasten the roof metal cladding to the left and
right wall panels.
Roofing and Side
Walls
|
Material
Required
|
Outside sheeting
|
Metal clad
|
Frame
|
Glued laminated timber (Glulam)
|
Inside finishing
|
Wood plastic composite
|
Back Wall
|
Material
Required
|
Façade/Finishing
|
Clear acrylic glass to form mosaic design, glass cutter
|
Frame for acrylic glass
|
Lead cane, solder, glaze
|
“X” frame
|
2”x4” Timber
|
The back wall with its glass mosaic design is definitely the
highlight of the amphitheater that is complicated to build. Each piece of clear
acrylic glass will need to be traced/cut according to its unique design. The
glasses are then soldered to the lead to give it structural integrity. Finally
a layer of glaze is applied to the joints to prevent water from sipping through.
These glass mosaic is supported by a 2”x4” “X” frame timber.
foundation and flooring
The soil condition (clayey) and steepness of slope were key
factors when deciding the right type of foundation for construction. Heptax
decided to go with a pad foundation. This type of foundation usually refers to
those being rested on stratum with adequate bearing capacity and laid less than
3meters below ground level.
Foundation
|
Material
Required
|
Reinforced concrete pad
|
Concrete
|
Column stump
|
2”x4” timber
|
Flooring
|
Cengal timber
|
Several flooring options was considered by the team, such
as, cengal, engineered hardwood floor or concrete. Engineered hardwood floor
was eliminated due to its less water resistant nature of the product. Finally
cengal, although more expensive was chosen because of its durability, weather
proof quality and aesthetic.
