Shophouses are essential elements of the urbanscape. However, the rate at which they are developed and neglected in Brunei has given rise to various problems in commercial areas, which undermines sustainability. While commercial areas are places with unique characteristics created as a consequence of the interaction between people and the environment, they tend to be inconspicuous to outsiders, including authorities and planners. This paper proposes a way to elucidate the genius loci of a site...

A key policy goal for every nation is to ensure that their rich cultural treasures are preserved for future generations to enjoy and be inspired. In this regard, the virtualization of digitalized cultural assets has the potential to make heritage experienced in a new and unique way. However, as the guardian of the nation’s cultural assets, the museum sector in Malaysia was caught unprepared when it experienced a 70 percent dip in the attendance of visitors during the pandemic due to its...

Global climate action initiatives have focussed on either climate mitigation or adaptation in the decarbonisation agenda. The impact of urbanisation is generally overlooked. Urban development alters the environment, including climate, in multiple ways. Therefore, climate actions are unlikely to succeed, even if its goals are achieved, largely because the current paradigm promotes expansion at the expense of nature. This paper presents an alternative perspective on urban design with respect to...

The shopping mall is a facility for profit-making with a complex spatial configuration that prioritizes the effectiveness in any aspects. The spatial configuration of a shopping mall needs more than a rule of thumb or a subjective judgment to optimize it. Many researchers have conducted studies of shopping mall spatial configuration by the theory and method of space syntax. But, the complexity of space syntax turns it hard to understand or apply in practical use. Due to the complexity of both...
