Abstract

Alor Setar needs sustainable development that creates public space in association with the Kedah River and the riverine community. The intent is to provide a riverfront development in an appropriate scale that creates a sense of belonging and place for the community. In this vein, Norizyan Saleh Alor Aquatic Academy portrays a unique vision for eco-urbanscape which posits to redefine contemporary conditions and outlook between architecture, land, water and the eco- friendly community in a sprawling layout. The proposal also activates multiple conditions of water as catalyst to generate the interesting features for the academy where a distinct union between nature, architecture, and advanced sustainable technology is achieved. With regeneration, recycle and reconnection as an approach, the proposal operates as a new sustainable social fabric stimulating economic growth within and along the Kedah River.
