Dialogical Connectivity – Jury ReviewLamit, Hasanuddin and Zainal Abidin, Nik Malik and Mohd Hussain, Mohd Ramzi and Lee, Wern Ching (2011) Dialogical Connectivity – Jury Review. Sustainable Tropical Environmental Design Exhibition 2011, 3. pp. 112-113. ISSN ISSN : 2180-0685 Official URL: http://www.vlmp.upm.my AbstractThe site analysis and appraisal have addressed the relevant aspects such as accessibility, microclimate and accessibility. However the proposed concept of “Manipulating the Microclimate” is questionable since the noble aim of most environmental designers is to work with the climate rather that interfering with it. Furthermore, it is difficult to ascertain whether the design proposal is able to change the microclimate. In spite of that, many of the information and design suggestions in terms of facilities and furniture indicate a commendable effort to address the microclimate. As a whole the design character has the sense of grandeur that befits an architectural structure such as the terminal building itself. The hard and soft landscape concept is in line with the idea of addressing the climate such as trees that improve the air quality, and provide shades as well as wind deflectors.
