Description

The Street Market provides the settings for many aspects of urban life, as a social space, cultural activities, small businesses and enterprises, logistical flows of traffic and pedestrian, processing of waste both organic and inorganic, and other aspects that could either be social-cultural or economic. The local authorities find the street market a nightmare to deal with but like many Malaysians, acknowledges the uniqueness and necessity of this urban entity at the same time. Low Joo Yin's Street Market at Kg. Kerinchi provokes the idea of complexities in designing such diverse needs and expectations from the sellers and buyers and more so, the local authority and residents around the area, and provides a realistic solution that is commendable by recommending a temporary movable structure that can be collapsible when not needed and extended when there is a heavy downpour or the need to demarcate areas to sell goods. At the master plan level, Joo Yin resolved the street system and re-planned the market for better efficiency and proper operations and management. This teaser is to remind us on the up-coming interview with Low Joo Yin.
