Architecture Resolution to Accommodate Adrenaline Rush Activities in Urban Areas | ARK 805 Dissertation
for the possible spatial planning and layout for surf centre in Malaysia that could enhance context criteria moment in the absence of the elements of dynamism adapting by the energetic of the activity and reflective form and pattern from the natural site context and became a fundamental challenge for research. The selection of technology provide a starting point for the characterization of surf centre zones as they might share certain properties or exhibit distinct characteristics. The surf centre can be formed in many way namely scheme that applies technologies using indoor surf pool using standing wave machine, artificial outdoor surf pool and outdoor surf pool using existing potential water body in the context. These types of typologies have its own character and value in term of architecture elements building concept and form, and spaces and activities. Based on the analysis of the four precedent studies and obstructive interviews, Silvertown Surf Centre and Citysurf, Vancouver have a clearer objectives and concept in their planning which could be integrate in the surf school in the context of Cherating, Malaysia. Furthermore, in term of surf centre, all the precedent studies have stated the idea of porosity and transparency that allows surfer to perceive surfing in the natural environment and feels the bonding between the surfer and other at the same time creates sense of belonging between surfer and the surf centre. In order to ease the user‟s surfing experience while surfing in the surf centre, the segregation of public, semi-public and private user is integrated in the following scheme. Seagaia Ocean Dome applies segregation approach to give the sense of speciality between user and public user. The integration of architectural elements such as separating the user by level could divide the activities by specialty at the same time framing the sense of transparency and promotes the public to watch and interact with the surfing activities. Each of the precedent studies has its own strength and movement which promotes a solid idea of centralised sprawling which surf pool act as the heart of the surf centre connecting with the supporting main spaces that helps to maximize surfing journey become optimum and connected. The surf centre able to frame the distinct idea of 141
