“…It is a living entity comprising elements with the meaning ascribed by people (Hubbard, 2006). Places are produced through experiences, histories, languages, and thoughts, which could evoke memories and expectations in different visitors (Casey, 1996;Attwa et al, 2022). People's sense and memory of the place should be at the heart of sustainable urban planning (Tuan, 1974;Anderson, 2009).…”

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 using urban tapestry as an analytical model rather than just a metaphor. The Menglait commercial area (MCA) was used as a case to illustrate this method. The MCA tapestry depicts a place for the common people to fix their automobile issues and quick social-business meet-ups. Its threads could be traced to the area’s early development, interweaving national development programs with the introduction of the automobile, the Chinese diaspora, and the development of the oil industry. Traditionally, shophouses, which were functional and ecological in design, have become wasteful in their modern form due to changing urban realities. Concerning the MCA, its apparent decline could be revealed through the tapestry method. Planned rejuvenation of the area would have obliterated existing features, structures, and knowledge that have essential values to enhance its resilience as a commercial area. The utility of our tapestry method is in the conservation of the genius loci of an area when integrated into the standard urban planning process.

“…The evolution of memorial design from the late nineteenth century to the present has resulted in a transformation of the connection between visitors and memorial places. The viewing viewpoint of the artifacts and figurative sculptures is designed to facilitate user interaction through several sensory experiences, including as occupying, touching, hearing, and participating in actions of commemoration (Attwa et al, 2022). There has been a growing desire for the development of memorial spaces as opposed to traditional standing monuments, accompanied by a shift in landscape architectural principles towards more modern approaches.…”

“…In their study, Attwa et al (2022) classified the aesthetic attributes of memorial landscapes into three distinct categories. The three types of monuments discussed in this context are referred to as "the invisible memorials," "on-ground memorials," and "ceremonial memorials (above-ground).…”

“…According to Attwa et al (2022), "The invisible memorials" In contrast to the conventional technique, which involves fully visible monuments, the structure of the monument is entirely concealed beneath the ground, rendering it inaccessible to the public and concealed from the visual field. "On-ground memorials" are memorials that are elevated slightly above the ground.…”

“…Additionally, they possess a monumental scale (Figure 1). (Attwa et al, 2022) Societies intentionally designate and memorialize landscapes to preserve and honour certain events, such as personal experiences, military wars, or deeply ingrained ideas. The forms and sizes of these assets exhibit considerable variation, ranging from discrete, independent elements to expansive, panoramic vistas.…”

This study examines the development of memorial sites on the Gallipoli Historical Site, investigating the complex relationship between historical events, architectural structures, and landscape design. The research evaluates the evolution of designs by doing a literature analysis, selecting sites, and conducting examination. It emphasises a significant change from traditional monuments to modern landscapes that include nature. The unique characteristics of the Gallipoli Historical Site are crucial in developing cultural and national identities. The findings emphasise the significance of creating memorial places that are economically efficient, inventive, and respectful to the location. The study suggests integrating symbolic planting design features and recognises the ongoing discussion on memorial design, promoting nature-based landscapes that pay tribute to shared memories while adhering to contemporary design principles.
