Task 1

Task Requirement

Form a group and draft the topics around the requirements 

Draft of topics

Top 3 from me：

Sunway city development culture(micro city/transportation system)

Malaysia Airline (system problem)

Pedestrian culture (walker unfriendly)


Draft while exploration

Taxi culture

Plane delay culture

Airport development (manual > auto vs Singapore)

Shortcut culture (mental maps vs official maps)

Battery life (taxi/payment/maps/phone call)

Pedestrian culture &Road bunch (less care about older)

Different way of local n tourist (transportation inconvenience/ tourist unfriendly)

Sunway city development culture(micro city/transportation system)


Week 2 (11/2/2026)

Final 3 ideas

1.Sunway City Development


Problem statement: 

Although Sunway functions as a well-planned micro-city with integrated transportation, pedestrian bridges, and private shuttle services, this level of coordination is not consistently found in other parts of Kuala Lumpur. The contrast highlights uneven urban development and raises questions about accessibility, inclusivity, and reliance on privately managed infrastructure.


2.Carpark system


Problem statement:

Although parking spaces are provided in SS15, insufficient capacity and inefficient usage — such as double parking and motorcycles occupying car spaces — disrupt traffic flow and reduce accessibility. This reflects weaknesses in parking management compared to cities like Singapore, where stricter regulation and system design improve efficiency despite limited land.


3.Transportation visual instruction


Problem statement:  

Although Malaysia’s integrated transit map uses distinct colours for different rail lines, the physical station signage does not consistently reflect those colours. This makes the network harder to navigate, especially for first-time or non-local users, and weakens the visual relationship between the system map and real-world wayfinding.


In-depth research on the topic & start planning the proposal slides


Week 3 (18/2/2026)

Division of labor in designing the proposal slides

Fig.presentation slides

Fig.sketches of urban city transportation system

I was incharge of the ideas for the development of the Sunway City transportation system, including the design rationale and drafts for solving the problems.

  • Buildings connected as part of the network
  • Green vegetation coverage to lower the temperature
  • Separation of pedestrian & vehicle flows to reduce exposure to traffic pollution


Week 3 (20/2/2026)

We refine the slides and record a video explaining the proposal using ZOOM meeting.
