Abstract

The proposed landscape architecture project aims to restore the historic and cultural heritage of Medan Bandar Alor Setar and its surroundings. Since 1735, Alor Setar has become the centre of administration, under the Sultan Muhammad Jiwa Zainal Abidin Mu’adzam Shah II (1710-1778). He was the nineteenth Ruler of the state of Kedah. Uniquely, Alor Setar is one of the oldest Malay Royal Towns located on the northern part of the Peninsula loaded with authentic heritage treasures. Due to rapid urbanisations, uncontrolled developments can affect the heritage assets of the site. The spills of development within the city centre have potential to change the site's historic and cultural identity. Therefore, the project proposes a restorative solution using landscape solutions to protect the identity of the place and its society with a concept of 'Intertwine of Remembrance’.
