The proposed Serdang Public Market is a transformative reinterpretation of a traditional marketplace, designed to merge sustainability, functionality, and cultural identity into a dynamic, vibrant community hub that aligns with the competition’s vision for innovation and resilience.

Catering to the aging population of Serdang New Village, the design prioritizes seamless transitioning between spaces to ensure accessibility for elderly visitors and wheelchair users, incorporating a two-story ramping system that allows effortless movement across all areas of the market, alongside accessible lifts and escalators for added convenience. This market emphasizes environmental stewardship with a Green Plot Ratio of 1.0, achieved through horizontal and vertical greenery, a rainwater harvesting system for irrigation and toilet flushing, and solar roofing to offset energy consumption. The inclusive layout connects thoughtfully distributed spaces across three levels, featuring 196 modular stalls, a food court, a multipurpose hall, and management offices, all configured for optimal functionality and navigation. Further emphasizing its cultural and local significance, the market integrates the engraved Serdang Map roof panels, symbolizing a deep connection to the community’s heritage and creating a space that resonates with locals and visitors alike. Beyond these features, the market addresses practical operational needs with dedicated pasar malam pavements, a waste management system, and cold storage facilities, ensuring a hygienic, efficient, and future-proof environment.

Ultimately, the Serdang Public Market is an architectural landmark, blending sustainability, accessibility, and cultural expression to create a vibrant, inclusive, and forward-thinking hub for commerce, interaction, and community connection, setting a benchmark for public market design.
