Entry Description

A rethinking of Malaysian wet market as a civic and cultural platform that celebrates pluralism. This market embraces and preserves its inherent chaos, while layering cultural, religious, and social references into an architectural framework: one that holds and supports coexistence, differences, tensions, and dialogues together. Reflecting the vibrancy of exchange, this thesis stages social, economic, and political mobilities through a vertical typology.
