Solid & Void Relationship The solid-void relationship in architecture is engaged through the manipulation and arrangement of surfaces in a fourdimensional environment. Both solid and void are ways to define a volume of space but conceptually we understand solids as a volume which is “full” and void as a volume that is “empty”. An environment where a solid is perceived to have been added to a void, the solid is the active element and the void is perceived as neutral space.

Spatial Relationship between Building & Street Private space might be described as a space that is owned and maintained by a single individual, family, or institution. Public space is space that is not only in the public domain but in public ownership.

Building Heights in Sekinchan The height of a building in relation to its overall configuration or massing is one of the more significant factors in determining the impact a building will have on its surrounding environment.

Building Condition in Sekinchan A building condition assessment is an assessment needed to determine whether all the building's structural elements are in rational or irrational condition. This provides valuable and relevant data on the quality of construction materials and future maintenance job scheduling.

LOCATION PLAN

The topography of Sekinchan is mainly flat lands with some slightly higher contours at the city area and some lower contours at the fishing village and paddy field area due to the appearance of the river as well as the sea for the fishing village area and lower land with the plantation of paddies for the paddy field area. In comparison between the topography around the two proposed sites, the contour of the land around Site A is lower than Site B with the river and sea nearby.

Silt soil is fertile, easily compactible and retains moisture while promoting air circulation. Loamy soil is a mixture of sand, silt and clay, which is suitable for rice cultivation since it has a high water retention capacity.

SEA LEVEL

Low tide in the morning

The sea level of Redang River can be very low during low tide seasons, usually in the morning.

However, the sea level will rise during monsoon season, which will happen twice a month.

Thus, the fishing schedule is inconsistent in Sekinchan.

CLIMATE DATA

The amounts and direction of the wind received for both sites are different from the wind rose chart due to the blockage of vegetation and buildings around the sites.

The large amount of trees appearing around site A helps to block direct sunlight into the site during the afternoon, however the main building that can block direct sunlight in the morning will be demolished to use as our proposed site, Thus, the sunlight coming from the east side every morning will be stronger.

For Site B, the short vegetation surrounding the site will allow a large amount of sunlight into the site without blockage, thus, the temperature at Site B will be slightly higher than Site A.
