Speaking of corridor...
you might get the meaning of long narrow walkway beside your classroom
or a walkway between two blocks, maybe street some might say..
well,it is..even i made that assumption too. somehow in architectural perspective, corridor is a linkage, a link that connect two places or even more. it can be physical connection like plaza, bridge, walkway & etc..or non-physical element like echo effect, information technology and so on.
what i want to share here is our corridor design in johor bahru. It's our 2nd project of this semester. common let's have a look,
The above picture shows the context of wadihana on the right of danga city mall(stated, try look for it) and saujana on the left. There's a mall situated between these two area which is the Danga CityMall. Somehow we noticed that the whole context seems lost of vibrant, easy to say it looks dead!
So we figured it out that a corridor that link saujana & wadihana might change something out. So, here goes our proposal of masterplan corridor..
The concept of the corridor is walk of weave,(THE WOW CORRIDOR). The idea is just easy, we want people to WALK! The proposed corridor is an elevated walkway that connect saujana to dangacity mall and to wadihana.
Gradually, in 10,20 years to come..things change. There will be no longer row of houses in this context. I believe the whole area will be crowded with high density building(highrise). No way we're gonna built massive highways along these building to connect one to another...it'll look bad, i mean view from the building is spoilt, noisy, air pollution..
So, the corridor makes the different. It connect places by encouraging people to walk,that's all.
We save the mobile energy, save the air from pollution..promote health.
Of course, in our proposal the corridor is not just a walkway that u walk,walk & walk..That will create a hell of boring feeling out of it!
What draws u to walk then? If there's a purpose isn't it..well, u will walk from one place to another,would ur journey be interesting if while u walk, u see people dancing, kids playing, trees & flowers everywhere, activities, food & so on? Of course, that's what we're implementing into our proposal..
Well basically,that's the whole idea of our corridor..:)
