Design Principles – Tailored Resiliency

In the Design report provided by BIG, the organisation highlighted several vital principles for the Dryline to achieve flood-resiliency that encompass infrastructural and community scale: i. Flood protection is not merely based on infrastructural defence system but integrates the entire neighbourhood and the site into accounts ii. The flood-resiliency design shall be community-driven iii. The system should be compartmentalized and allow the project to be built incrementally iv. Physical resiliency shall be combined with community resiliency v. The requirement of different sectors (housing/transit/energy/urban development) shall be address under one solution Flood protection should integrate community benefit (better open space, better accessibility to housing, jobs and education, lower insurance rates and the possibility for growth) to allow government investment to leverage with local and sectoral funding in Resilient Community District. 4.2.2.4

Topical Study : Flood Resilient Design Strategies Case Study of Urban Waterfront

Published on Jan 1, 2021

Hazwan Husain

The current contextual problem of flood vulnerabilities imposed a significant threat towards a safe built environment, especially in the urban area that is prone to flooding. In Malaysia, the flood has been the most severe event of natural disaster that deals with a significant loss in the resource that could restrict economic and social growth of the nation. this paper seeks to identify the resilient factors in the design-based intervention that is based on concept and principles, contextual application, design features criteria, and policy/initiatives enforcement. The study identifies design interventions that can combat or adapt flood vulnerabilities in a humanistic and sustainable approach. As such, the study focuses on comparing and appraising existing or proposed waterfront development that adapts the flood vulnerabilities as an innovative design solution for the ultimate goal of providing a safe built environment that is prone to flood disaster.
