Open night markets are run by independant farmers and suppliers who set up stalls on an instructed plot of empty land. The less organised sturcture of these markets gives for a very spontaneous and personal experience to users.
Far right top row: A Structure Market in Kuala Lumpur. These kinds of market are housed in buildings specifically built for that purpose. Most sellers are of veterans thus seller-buyer relationships can last for decades.

These however attract transient and younger patrons. They are set up spontaneously in parks and plazas and cater to a specific set of community.

DISMANTLING URBAN & COMMUNITY FABRIC
The basic sequence of Nodal Order: Target - Transition - Target. In this case, the Cultural Wakaf housing activities of large scales sit in between the two target noddes of Laboratory and Community Wakaf
Semi functional spaces are placed along transition spaces in between target nodes as to dismantle the basic nodal order of Target-Transition-Target to Target-Transition-Support-Transiton-Target, allowing for higher frequency of interaction between disciplines and social, hierarchical, and cultural order. Semi-functional spaces are also placed between the linear target nodes as to allow for compartmentalisation and multi-usage of the space. The break in linearity also allows of cross ventilation of prevailing winds.
The Urban Wakaf situates in between tthe transition spaces to provide for connection between the 4 target nodes.
Vegetations are placed on the Eastern and Southern sun to shade against Harsh Tropical Sun to allow for optimal comfort of users within spaces. These vegetations also act as foregrounds towards the river front. Light vegetations are alos placed agains the urban front as small buffers. Vegetations are also placed strategically as breathing spaces and allow prevailing winds intot the spaces.
