WEEK TWELVE; PROPOSAL CONTINUATION

CASE STUDY AND SITE PROPOSAL

PASIR PENAMBANG

Pasir Penambang is a fishing village with water houses on stilts which was made in the past to help resolve environmental, economical and social problems. This site is slowly losing the fishing business and local culture so their idea was to rejuvenate it in the form of a catalyst for gaining income for fishermen especially through seafood production and a bit of tourism.

In this project they have used a buoyant foundation is designed to be placed on a platform that is elevated off ground and supported by short piers. When floods occur, it rises and floats on the surface so this prevents the platforms and areas from sinking. This increases RESILIENCE for the COMMUNITY. Beneath he platforms, electricity and sewage pipes sun so it helps the are become more self sufficient for the community.

ISSUES FACED BY FISHING COMMUNITY

-No clean and safe place for seafood processing (not hygienic)

-They have temporary occupational license, so if they have to move the cultural identity will be lost so NO PUBLIC AND PERMANENT COMMUNAL SPACE

-Younger generation going for different jobs

-Since it is located on a mangrove area, expansion projects affect the biodiversity of the marine ecosystem

PROGRAMMING

COMMUNAL SPACE

-administrative spaces

-homestay for locals

-seafood loading area

-dried fish processing area

-marketplace

-eatery

-fishermen wharf

-repairing/building warehouse for boats and equipment

-Library and classroom for education

-Waste collection and separation zone

How the spaces work

-Resilient community space

In flood prone regions, a bouyant system can provide resilience in terms of structure

-SUSTAINABLE MANGROVE RESTORATION

For mangrove systems tourists can also be more involved in the income as they can come and enjoy the view. Mangroves naturally provide ecosystem for marine life and provides coastline protection,

SUSTAINIBILITY CONSTRUCTION

Pollution can affect both surface water and ground water so sheet piling maybe with steel which allows anclosed areas to be pumped out.
