Pudu wet market: ageing community
1980 - Mature urban development - Local community & permanent residence
2020 - Development slowed down - More high rise around pudu wet market - Foreign workers replace local community
issue
solution
- No gathering activity for local community
- Reprogram to strengthen local community
- No new generation to replace ageing local community
- Bring in more locals from various background
- Negative social impact
- Provide positive environment
Pudu wet market: personal observation
community Plaza as potential community gathering space - wet market as focal point - shared common view and connection lack of permanent public spaces
elements Shading for gathering - open market umbrella - covered wet market - covered food stalls shaded structure for gathering
texture Solid vs organic - wash-off - hard and solid surface - old and un-refreshing lack of organic elements
Biophilic Urbanism Elements in architecture - Natural lighting & Ventilation - Plants & Greeneries - Naturalistic shapes & forms - Awareness to surrounding - Create separation and gap Benefits - Reduce anxiety - Improve mood - improve energy - Reduce stress & pain - Strengthened immune system
