BUILDING OF INTEREST MELAKA OLD MINARET TOWER

The minaret is all that remains of the mosque , the mosque was replaced by masjid Tranquerah which was built in 1780.

The tower is five storeys tall and octagonal in shape and the design resembles a Chinese pagoda, because of the traditional construction method of lime plaster over clay bricks, the tower withstood the ravages of time. The minaret would have stood just a stone’s throw from the beach when it was built so it would also have served as a useful landmark for passing ships and fishermen.

INTRODUCTION: For this semester, three sites were identified as a working site for the suggested strategies The minaret at end of Tranquerah road , The “river” at the middle of Tranquerah road and the parking space at Jonker area.

TASK: To study more about Tranquerah and to suggest the urban strategy around the area for

the

locals

Tranquerah,

and

then

people to

who

visit

develop

the

understanding and suggestions from the urban strategy into the building strategy in one of the identified sites.

URBAN STRATEGY LEGEND

Urban Strategy 4: Playground Structures

Urban Strategy 4: Bus Stop

Urban Strategy 2: Walk-in Gallery The Walk-in Gallery is a structure that is located at the end of Tranquerah road. It’s used as a display space showing the history of Melaka through-out different era for all the people passing through Tranquerah road.

This strategy was suggested after the study of the gallery spaces in Tranquerah and all of them were located at the beginning of that street.

The playground structures are structures made for children to play in after the school hours and also to wait for their parents to pick them up.

The reason for locating it in this location, is because of the study that shows were the educational buildings are, and this study helped to understand were the children would be.

Urban Strategy 3: Open Event Stage The open event stage structure is a structure built as a support for the temple in this area (Seck Kia Eenh Temple) for the locals and tourists that vist the temple. It is used for the religious events and community gatherings.
