SERIAL VISION ESSENCE OF PARIT JAWA FISHING VILLAGE An idea came out to inteprete the essence of fishing village, insipired by how a one way road can explain whole historical and human culture of the site. The path that link from the cross road, and the narrow and hidden street from the site, where fisherman will built their own Kelong and doing fishing business from the street. The street is hidden where leads to the significant temple, the views from narrow street to open space is extraordinary different with walking to the main street. The sense of quiet and serene, warm emotion overwhelmed the street experience.
FOODCOURT SITE TO WATER FRONT SITE ROUTE To walk from the front entrance of foodcourt site to waterfront jetty, to embrace the road to the past history, one glace the scene of the village and the fishing boat, from the line of one street.
