The precedent study is based on a riverside/ boardwalk activity at an urban area in Malaysia or overseas. Students are to study in detail the space planning and design elements of the building/ linkages, discuss the interesting features of this development and demonstrate the understanding of architectural elements, environmental factors or the existing site context that contribute to the success/failure of the design.
Student were divided into a few groups where in each group each of the student were given different site with its own program. I was given site B which to design a transportation hub that can provide transportation services for the usage of local resident and tourist. Another objective of transportation hub is to connect local resident from the other side of river to the site area. The transportation services provided must include pick up and drop off point for taxi and grab, bus stop, and also water taxi. Apart from that, wide view of river and surrounding area allows a circular shape restaurant to take place at first floor of transportation hub building that connected to a bridge going through site c become main attraction for tourist and also local resident.
The program proposed for the digital sport center is based on traditional game that can be found all around Borneo which include different races. The theme of the sport center is retro wave which to emphasize the value of modern aesthetic and traditional element which is Dayak batik pattern and the usage of colorful neon light in order to create a lively atmosphere that will attract local resident, tourist and especially among youth. Overall design of the site is to response on the site issues by maximize the amount of vegetation on surrounding area to filter smell coming from nearby shophouse alley and proposing a proper pedestrian for the usage of visitors and easy access to the site.
