The Vessel : A vascular housing systemBy looking deeper into the daily lifestyle and the current economic issues of the residence in Pantai Dalam it was pretty clear that agriculture was one of the main potential income as the site was the heart of a busy market every weekend as well as a bazaar during the month of Ramadhan for the past many years. It was only natural that this factor should be further nourished. Therefore, before segregating the land into a commercial and residential section, the idea was to maintain and enhance the existing market area for this community to continue without disrupting its economy. It was a win-win situation as the housing section was placed in the quieter and greener surrounding.The site was the major factor limiting the design master plan as each section of the building was designed specifically to address the major influencing factors such as its outward views into existing green pockets surrounding the site, decreasing noise of the busy road by implementing cantilevered units as well as sustaining the scarce piece of greenery existing on the site.Now, usually the hardest part faced in green design is actually based on the continuous need of its community to maintain the term ‘green architecture’. Therefore, with the demand and need of agriculture in that community, automatically the intended design approaches will be cultivated to its highest most extend.In accordance to its name, The Vessel , I have explored the possibility of designing, a vascular system which in fact transports water throughout its integrated service core. This smart use of reusing water which will be used extensively throughout the design until the plant watering stage. I believe that when a community has a concrete intention that will benefit them or their economy, only then be it that the term green design will be a maintained success.
