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

Flood – Resilient Design Strategies Case Study of Urban Waterfront | Hazwan Bin Husain

zoning lies on top of the hydrological surface where the wave dampening mechanism is crucial. 2. INTRODUCE TO WATER: The water body within the site compound is optimised for development. This approach seeks to explore how water bodies can be perceived as an opportunity for adaptation, rather than a challenge. Some core programs were proposed to be built on top of the water body, such as aquapolis (3) and habidatum (5). Both of the zonings adapts the concept of amphibious living; water is utilised as a resource for development as opposed to constructing on land. 3. BRING WATER TO INSIDE: Some part of the coastal area is adapted to bring more water element to the interior environment for a programmatic purpose. The programs introduced shall provide active interaction between the public and the programs that consist of water activities such as Marine Biology and Ecosystem Institute (1).

4.3.1.4 Design Intervention in Architectural Typology Scale In the proposal, Hazrini briefly elaborated on the typologies of a housing scheme that is envisioned for amphibious living. The housing typologies were divided into three different categories that each have different function and contextual usage. 1. Landed House: Conventional landed housing scheme were proposed onland that has a minimal threat to flooding and rise of water level.

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

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.
